MILAN PAVING
TO Be RUSHED
Village Board to Carry Out Prom
ise Made AT Election, Il
Is Said.

Plans for starting the first of
three big paving projects in Milan
are well under way, according to
Paul W. Wadsworth, president of
the village board of local improve
mentS. Assessment rolls for the
first section have been filed in
county court and the hearing has
been set for Saturday.
Tbs first of these projects is for
brick paving OF Water street east
from the bridge to Main street and
then south to the Rock Island sta
ton, about five fiocks- The second
proposition extends south from the
station, while the third provides
for paving of that section between
the bridges. The entire cost Is
placed at $125,0 900. The initial i'm
provement will cost about $33, 0o(
and if no details are encountered
may be finished this year.
1t is rumored that directors are
planning to carry their fight tc
court. Mr.. Wadsworth says the
present board of local improve
ments was elected with the pur-
| pose in view of carrying out the
projects. and that every move
against the paving will be contest

Not Proper Time.

The report declares. the tariff was
not an issue in the last campaign and
that this is not the time to write a
tariff law. They assert that the prob
lens which confront our people,
cripple u industry, stife our COM
merce and perplex an amicable ad-
ministration have nothing to do with
the tariff"
Criticizing the Republican majority
Of the committee for withholding the
bill from them and from the house
membership generally and for per-
hitting only a week for it's study, the
Democratic members declare there
has been insufficient time to draft a
substitute. They do not undertake any
detailed discussions of the individual
schedules in the bill. combining their
27-page typewriter report to a. gen
eral indictment of the whole measure
n the n of it's preparation.
Emphasize Two Things.
Emphasis is laid upon two things
the probable effect of the bill on
American commerce and the world
industrial situation generally and up
on the substitution Of the system OF
American valuation as a basis for
levying tariff duties.
Pointing to the rapidly decreasing
American foreign trade the report
says: w need no tariff to cut of
the imports and the exports of the
United States" Calling attention tina
the foreign trade of the United States
fell from s1,1s8,255;44o last July tc
$52~7,37S,825 in May, 1921, the report
says:
Certainly the, natural process is
preferable to the infected knife Of
interested surgeons who by selecting
the industries to protect and those tc
destroy car reap the harvest their
campaign contributions seeded last
fall"
Charging that the bill was prepar-
ed outside Of the ways and means
committee. the minority report says
the of it's making up cannot
be defended"
Few Favored.
Its last minute changes WHISPERED
to a favored few" the report con-
tinues, "are in keeping with the in
trigue, secrecy and jobbery which in
spired it's covert subleties, it's con-
cealed 1ndirection; framed its newly
invented schedules, cast it's complex
and compounded rates, and fixed its
unascertainable and ~incalculable du-
ties. with the trickery which has
transformed it's nomenclature and
made it impossible to it with
any of it's predecessors.
Cunning has made difficult, if not
impossible, a comparison by printing
it in deadly parallel with previous
law. This conspiracy has required
since last December or six months, to
hatch its monstrosity." s
The Democrats say in their repor
that they vainly sought to have the
committee refer the bill to the treas
Jury department with a view to OBJ
tanning information as to the prob
able amount of revenue to be derived
Vas we'll as the economic effect upon
the country. TheySalso say that they
