Bachelor of Laws of Columbia

farmer and publisher, Governor
of Virginia, distinguished as the
originator of the budget system of
the State, promoter of penal re-

admitting you to the honorable de-
gree of Doctor of Laws

reason that WestmOreland Davis does

forward looking Democrat in full
vigor of mind and body, who has
given the State an efficient business
administration, and who as Governor
during the war period and that of re-
construction, has become intimately
in touch with the new postwar prob
lens and with the needs and aspira-
tons of our people, that we believe
his election to the United States Sen
ate will best serve the agricultural

been conSidered-under the rule no
minority amendments may be con-
Sidered until after those by the COM
mittee have been disposed of. There
fore, it is estimated that the SEN
ate has not actually acted upon one
third of the bill.
Greater still. the remaining two
thirds include items of a highly con-
troversial nature, such as the duties
on flax, silk, sugar, wool, leather,
and other commodities of a similar
character. Then too, there are the
clauses relating to arbitrary fixing
of rates by the president, reciprocity,
and the reappraisement of values
upon protest All of which, together
with the fight to come on the Ameri-
can valuation principle, will provide
ground for unlimited discussion,
which may carry the ultimate date
of vote way into the future.
In reporting the bill the senate
finance committee recommended p
0S2 amendments to the measure as
passed by the house. Since then the
committee has offered numerous
charge and reviSionS, and the demo-
cratic minority is prepared to offer
in the neighborhood of 1000 amend
mends, which are yet to be consider
ed.
Congress set out in January, 1921.
TO write a new tariff; more than Is
months have passed with the bill
still the unfinished business Of the
senate. No legislation in recent years
has moved so slowly towards final
conSummation. it is said.
During approximately 10 months
the bill was in the course of prepare
ton in the ways and means commit
tee of the House and Senate finance
committee.
Those members of congress who
have spirited campaigns on are for
getting back home regardless Of the
method. They want tariff enacted or
withheld from consideration for the
present Of course the majority favor
early enactment, but there is believed
10 be a substantial element among
them who prefer temporarily laying
the measure aside rather than confine
themselves TO Washington and stand
the chances of losing ont in the COM
ing election. Interesting DEVELOPMENTS
may arise in the future concerning
including tariff in the proposal to
postpone consideration If the shin

session Of congress which is now
awaiting the presidents consent Mr.. |
Harding is said to be giving the mat
ter his serious attention, awaiting /
some relaxation in the strike situa-
ton before making an announcement.
II he finds the eXigencies of the case /
demand such action for the good of !
the party, it is not unlikely that the |
agreement of Senators Lodge, Wat |
son, and Curtis, together with other
republican leaders of the senate over
the legislative program, might be ac- ,
cepted, and even extended to make !
some provisions for the tariff.
