nors Development Scheme.

power md for the development of New
York Harbor are being drafted and will

"As a result OF the forceful and en-
tcrprising administration of Gov. Mil
ler." said George A. Glynn. chairman
of the Republican State Committee,
last night before going home to Water
town for the holidays. these two great
pro jects are about TO mature. We
might say that they are to be given to
the state and the city as Christmas
presents.
Every body has been talking about
water power for years. but the man who
ever tried 10 accomplish anything con-
structive has been Gov. Miller. 1t is the
plan 20 harness up the surplus power
along the barge canal for the benefit of
the people Of the State"
It is estimated that the public utilities
OF the state use 100000 tons of coal
each year. The power than can be de-
veioped under the plan being worked
out by the state will be equal 70 TO-
00O. 900 tons Of coal n year, II Is said.

Washington, ID. G.. Dec. m.
The American valuation plan A the
Fordney tariff bill got some hard bumps
in the House to-day In a spirited debate
led by Representative Fordney (Afich.) }
on one side and Representative OidfieId
(Ark.) on the other.
Representative Mann (riL) one time
floor loader. said he never had heard OF
anybody on the floor. not excepting
Chairman Fordney. who understood the
American valuation plan. Mr. Fordney
replied that there is no man so blind as
the man who will not see.
That is the case with the gentleman
from Michigan" Mr.. Mann answered. II
would like to see. / do not think he
does"
Representative Fordney's speech was
criticism of American importers who
have organized propaganda 20 defeat
the BILL" he charged.
Representative Oldneld. a Democratic
member of the Ways and Means Com
niittee, said he was pleased 20 ind large
valuation plan. He expressed the opinion
that great number OF importers would
lie with the Democrats in the next cam
paign.
Take them and all that goes with
them." replied Mr. Fordney.
Turning to Representative Mann. who
IS from Chicago, Mr. Oldfield said he
hoped Mr. Mann would tell large Arm
CT importers in that city accused of ight-
ing the valuation plan what Chairman
Fordney Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee said concerning them.
"The influence of the chairman OF the
Ways and Means Committee In Chicago
is NIL" said Mr.. Mann, which produced
much laughter.
Turning his attention to the valuation
plan, Mr.. oldfield said there is no doubt
on the face OF the earth that on hun
dreds of articles imported into this
country the duty under the plan would
be prohibitive.
Mr.. Oldfeld declared that with the
plan applied to the Underwood law the
rates would be much higher In many
instances than the rates in the Payne
Aldrich tariff law, which split the Re-
publican party and caused its downfall
in national elections Of the past.
mo one in America wants prohibi-
tive tariff the member went on, except
those who are especially benefited. 1t
will increase prices to consumers OF
America and they will have TO pay the
freight"
Another objection raised by Mr.. Old
field to the plan was that importers who
buy foreign articles one year TO be sold
the next could not possibly know what
the rate of duty would be and therefore
would be driven from international busl-
ness.

Respond When
the Jazz Calls

Rivals Of popularity, as measur-
ed by the crowds they held, the
palm room and the lobby of the
Hotel Rainbow were jammed with
school teachers Monday night.
Some danced. Others tried to,
but succeeded only in embracing
each other while listening to the
music and waiting for the crowd
to get out of the way. But the
crowd couldn't get out of the way.
Here and there drummer jos
tied his way through the crowd.
The protests were good -natured
as the crowd in the lobby endeav-
ored to make a passageway for
anyone who seemed to be going
somewhere. For the most part
everybody stood around and smiled
like it was great fun.
Principals lobbied with their
county superintendent. Once in
while the strains of a waltz
would drift out of the palm room
through the crowd in the lobby
that grew and grew until all the
standing room only" was a joke.
, Space for one was made big
enough for two by the simple
process OF pressure.
There are said to be about 1000
teachers in town and they must
have all been there. But they
didn't all dance-not all at once.
And they must have gone there for
that purpose. 1t had been pre-
viously announced that the dance
< was the big attraction.
All of the teachers attending the
convention are invited to visit the
studio of Charles NJ. Russell, cow
boy artist, at any time during their
stay in the city. The studio is
located at 1919 Fourth avenue
north
If weather conditions permit the
teachers will be taken by automo-
bile and street car to the smelter
