Albany, Jan. IL.
If Gov. Miller had misgivings about
the popularity OF his economy pro-
gramme, the United States mail man
who calls at the Executive Chamber
every morning has dlssipated them. II
any doubts were creeping into his mind
that he might have made a political mis-
take, after hearing the protests of big
and little politicians and petty job hold
ers. he is now able to tell them that the
people are with him.
Every mail is bringing 90 him scores
OF letters indorslng his stand for re-
They come from civic or
carnations, chambers % commerce ana
taxpayers.
The Governor Is particularly pleased
with these Endorsements. They have
provided him with convincing answer
to those who have tried to turn him
aside on the ground of political advisa-
bility The appeal of Senator Clayton
r. Lusk. the majority leader of the
Senate, for support OF the Governors
economy programme has met with
ready responses. They have proven both
surprise and satisfaction 70 the
friends of the chief executive, who has
been inclined to fear that the move
might not have hit a popular chord. And
those who are indorslng the economy
plan are not confining their attention TO
the Governor. Senator'S and Assembly
men are also receiving plenty of mail
from constituents, asking them TO sup
port the Governor
The only criticisms come from those
interests that were hard hit BY the Gov
ernor's recommendations. Some OF the
organizations that have been seeking
new. State activities for years have also
been iSclined to look with disfavor on
the Governors programme.

No matter what may be the outcome
into the circumstances Of the Rock
away naval balloon flight to the wilds
of Canada, the three Lieutenants who
made it will long remember yesterday
rs day when thousands acclaimed
them as heroes, and thousands more
lined or marched through storm swept
streets TO do them honor.
The President of a borough hailed
them as ''manful upholders of the
Nsvy's glorious traditions and their
own commanding officer felicitated
them warmly on their safe return
from a perilous adventure. An aged
veteran of the Mexican and civil wars,
Col. Frederick Eastman Edgar, "a
years old, braved the tempest despite
his infirmities to tell them that Of
such stuff as they displayed is the
strength OF the nation built.
For the three aeronauts-Lieut A. L.

Licut. Walter Hinton--the day refused

were so warm they seemed to dry up all
thought of the rain, sent singing into
the faces of Rockaway's welcomers by
forty mile southerly gale-just such a
wind as landed the balleonists near
Moose Factory a month ago to day.
And into this bright, warm atmosphere
Capt. Damon r. Cummings, commandant
OF the air station, was 10th to project
the cloud of the impending solemn in
quiry and its consequences possibly Sc
rious TO the airmen.

Payne-AIdrich Rates Favored.

While the Senate Committee was con-
sidering the emergency BILL indications
developed in the House Ways and Means
Committee Of sentiment among some
members to delay framing a new perma-
nent tariff until international conditions
become more stable.
In this connection, the suggestion was
made privately by several members OF
the House Committee that a revival OF
either the Dingley or the Payne-Aldrich
laws should be resorted 10 as stop-gap
expedient. But there was also stray evil
dence that the majority members will
not support rates higher than and pos
sibly not as high as the Payne-Aldrich
tariff provided.
From questions propounded during
the day the intimation was given that
some committee members feel the pres
ent chaotic conditions of exchange and
low production costs abroad may make
inadvisable the drafting OF scientific
tariff law at this time.
Representative Longworth, Republic
can. Ohio, asked several witnesses IL
the committee could safely base the
rates to be carried in the revised law"
on the present American production
costs He also inquired II, in their
opinion, the committee could at this
time devise tariff schedules which would
operate effectively a few years hence,
considering the present international ex-
change situation. Democratic members
OF the committee were quick to reply,
and Representative Garner. Texas. par
ticularly accused the majority of being
ready to grant import rates which would
serve as an embargo.

WOOL REPORT OFFERED
Commission Finds Surplus
Chiefly Responsible for
Price Decline.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Three amend
ments We're tackled on the Fordney
emergency tariff bill by the Senate FL
nance Committee to-day in its first days
consideration in executive session after
the recent public hearings OF the meas
ure. After the committee had voted,
ten TO four, to open the bill to amend
ments, Senators Calter (Rep), New
York, and Jones (Dem), New Mexico,
got provisions through which materially
broadened the scope of the measure. and
Senator McCumber (Rep.). North Da-
kota, obtained acceptance of higher
import duty on wheat
The McCumber amendment would fix
a tariff on imported wheat of forty cents
a bushel instead Of the thirty cents car
ried by the bill as it passed the House.
Senator Calder's amendment would add
dairy products TO the list already pro-
tected, establishing o tariff of six cents
a. pound on butter and cheese and their
substitutes and two cents and five cents
a gallon on fresh milk and cream, re-
spectively. Under the Jones amend
ment the import duty on hides carried
on the Dingley tariff law would be re-
stored as q part of the Fordney measure
for the ten months of its life.
