REPUBLICANS BOW : ID INTERESTS AND
 BEGIN TARIFF WALL
Senator Underwood Forces Reed Shoot, G. 0. P. Regu- lar, to Admit That Re-
 vision Will Not Await
 Commissions Report
By HUGH W. ROBERTs Washington Bureau The Age-Heraid
 300 Davidson Building

Washington, February 11.-(Special)-- J. The republicans will not await investi- gation by the tariff commission before proceeding with their programme of tar if revision Senator Shoot of Utah smakes this formal admission which, In light of history, is more than interesting
 It is to be recalled that five years ago. when the democrats were in power, the republican protectionists, in effort to majority, enunciated the theory that the tariff should be removed from politics. President Wilson agreed with them with out knowing the game they played The tariff commission, as result of such agreement, was created. It was ex- plained that as result of the investiga- tion of this commission. Congress would instantly mako such changes, at regular intervals, as was judged necessary. And thus there would be no longer an occa- sion for extensive study by Congress pre- paratory to formal and thorough revision of the tariff.
 INTERESTS CLAMOR
 And now with the republicans in power, and aware of the clamor of the interests that they be protected against foreign competition in that they mign. prey unmolested and without restraint on the American consumers, they de- clare the tariff commission ineffective' and admit that they will not await the report of the commission before pro ceeding on their programme
 Senator Underwood, the chief exponent in Congress of the democratic idea re- garding tariff legislation, forced the ad- mission by Senator Shoot. In reply 70 well-directed questions, Shoot admitted first. that the republicans would not DO guided by the investigations of the com mission, and secondly, that the commis- sion had not conducted itself along fun- damentaI and political lines but theoretl- cal lines.
 DEPENDS ON BULL
 This confession gave Underwood an op- portunity to remind Shoot that five years ago he had made the same argu- lnent in an unsuccessful effort to prevent Smoot putting over the legislation which created the commission
 It is another instance of the manner n which Congress proceeds in accordance with it's opinion that it doesn't matter whose bull is gored just so 1t isn mine"

DUN's REVIEW
By Associated Press

New York, February 11.--Dun's to- morrow will say:
 ''The Irregularities which. stili char acterize the business situation are natural accompaniment of the process of economic -readjustment. With con flicting forces in operation, commer- cial revival has not come in all quar- ters simultaneously, and a definite turning pont is yet to be reached in some leading trades and industries. Unsettiement in prices, with the trend continuing downward, remains cause for hesitation in different lines and such new demand as develops does not indicate that buyers are disposed to commit themselves extensively for the future
 At prices much below the highest

WaShinGton, February ll.-tSpecldi'- The various committees of Congress- which since the ascendency of the repup- l:can lnajorities in 1918 have been engaged in Investigating all varieties of govern mental activities, have disbanded.
 Volume after volume of testimony has been compiled and presented to Con- eress: On such testimony, the commit tees. or the majority members thereof. have based sensational deductions, ana thus given just cause, in their own esti- nation for their creation, and the im- rnense sum of the peoples money when they expended. The minority members have made minority reports, and sucn re- ports differ in every vital respect rom inc conclusions of the majority.
 The testimony will never be read py Congress as a body, and will never De acted upon As a result, time has been wasted, and money has been wasted The committees. which during the presidential campaign were hailed by partisans, are now ignored They are in disrepute, and as result of the open rebuke adminis- tered some days ago by General Dawes. are, in fact, in contempt. It IS now gen orally known that they were created to discredit the Wilson administration, and arouse such prejudice that the republican national ticket would profit at the polls
 It is regarded that the testimony or Dawes a republican, followed by the re- fusal of General Pershing to take the stand in effort to rebut previously in spired testimony reflecting on the con duct of the war, sounded the deathkneA of official undertaking

for such wharves becomes non-exist-
I'VE take this opportunity of re-
iteratine our previous statements to
you that we are thoroughly In ac-
cord with your policy of cleaning up
the water front. but we cannot agree
that the cleaning up of the water
front and the handling and storage
of cord wood are inconsistent, and
repeat that the present condition OF
the wharf rests solely at your doors
and has been caused primarily by
your method Of leasing these prop
critics. We cannot imagine any
tenant who would take piece Of
property with the conditions under
which you lease these wharves and
spend any considerable amount OF money
upon improvements Of said property
when 1t Is distinctly set out in your
lease that the improvements shall
be the absolute property of the Dis
trict Of Columbia at the termination
Of said lease. Your policy has been to
lease not in excess of five years and
at the end of these five years the
property is put up at public auction.
which means that man bidding 81 or
even less possibly will be awarded
the property. and the improvements
and the money which the former ten
ant had made and expended would be
entirely lost ohm and he would re-
celve no recompenSe whatsoever.
Urges Change In Leasing Policy.
I'm our opinion this whole water
front proposition can be worked out
If your honorable board will change
your policy OF leasing SO that the
same will encourage the tenants on
the water front to maintain and i'm
prove these properties in the same
manner as is done in New York and
in other large cities of which the
writer has knowledge. Almost in
variably these leases are made for
long periods. in the majority Of cases
for twenty years, and 1t is usually
provided that the tenant at the ter
mination Of the tenancy shall be re-
imbursed by the city for any addi-
tions to the property which he has
made during the time thereof. Fur
thermore, instead of these leases be-
ing put up at public auction they are

 For the curing of corn beef, cut it in suitable pieces about 6 inches square and three to four inches thick, so they can be. packed uni formly. To 100 pounds of beef we use 8 pounds of salt, 4 pounds of sugar, ounces of salt petre, and especially in the case of warm weather 2 ounces of bicarbonate of soda. Each piece of meat is rubbed with this mixture and sprinkle a layer of it in the bottom of the curing vessel, which must either be stone crock or a hard wood cask or barrel, well cleansed, one that has not been used for anything that will give a taint to the meat. Then pack the meat in layers with a lib- eral supply of the curing mixture sprinkled over it. it will form a liquid of itself which will generally cover the meat.

water will dissolve. Let it cool thoroughly strain and pour it over the meat until it is covered. It will take two days for each pound of meat for curing. That is a piece weighing 6 pounds will require 12 days. After that the meat can be canned, or kept in the curing vessel until used. In case of warm weath- CT the brine that forms around the meat must be examined very ire quently, and as soon as it shows any sign of ropiness, which can be seen by dipping a fork or the fingers in- to the liquid and holding it up, and if it does not drip freely it must be discarded or reboiled. If this is done each piece of meat should be washed in luke warm water, the crock or vessel in which it has been cured, cleaned, then repacked and new brine made to cover the meat.
 If the meat is to be dried the in- side muscle of the thigh of beef is the best piece and cured the same way. After the curing is finished, hang it up to dry, and if desired it can be given a light smoking in a smoke house.
 Hoping this will give yos the in- formation desired, l am,

agent, I seek the cooperation of the farmers both white and colored and the business and professional men throughout the county. Our problem is far reaching and affects us all. A business-like cooperation will help solve our farm problems, and the proper solution will bring us success, prosperity and bright day. To those who may be in need of feedstuffs I highly recommend planting a few acres of early corn at the earliest possible date, manure it highly, work it often and it will mature in eighty-five or ninety days. It will furnish bread for the table and feed for the stock in June.
 Respectfully submitted,
