The committee also recommended
duty on sugar of two cents per pound,
but on Cuban sugar one and sixty
one-hundredths cents. This rate is
the same as the Fordney bill and al
most twice as much as that provided
for in the Underwood Act However,
Senator Smoot one of the leading
members of the committee. believes
that additional protection should be
accorded the beet sugar industry, and
will attempt to have these rates in
creased on Jhe floor of the Senate
He will be supported by the Colorado
Senators in his efforts.
Nicholson Active for Masanese Duty
Senator Samuel D. Nicholson has
called attention to the fact that the
new tariff bill as reported by the Com
mittee provides no protective duty on
maganese ore, although maganese is
taken care of. He has already taken
the matter up in an effort to secure
proper protection for this phase of
the mining industry, and intends to
renew his fight on the floor Of the SEN
ate. Senator Nicholson has just in
troduced an amendment to the bill,
making adequate provision for this
purpose.
oiishaIe Townships to be Surveyed.
During recent interview with
Commissioner Spry of the General
Land Office. Senator Phipps vigorous
ly presented the need for early resur.
veys of a number of townships on the
western slope. Some months ago the
Senator introduced a bill for this pur-
pose (Senator 1349) which also pro-
vided, an additional appropriation of
$4,000 for the work
The Interior Department favored
this measure but Commissioner Spry
has just promised that without wait
ing for the passage of the bill in ques-
tiOn he will authorize William H.
Clark, surveyor general for the state
OF Colorado, to do the needed work
this summer. Senator Phipps has ex-
pressed himself as being much graft
fed at the Commissioners decision
as the existing condition is likely to
cause conflicts among claimants and
to hinder the development of any in
dustry which will one day prove OF
great value to the State.
Judges Bill Passes.
The most important measure acted
upon by the Senate this week was the
socalled Judges bill, which provides
for the appointment of twenty-thrss
additional Federal Judges where most
needed. Certain western states, such
ted State Judge, and in other states
the judiciary is swamped with FEEDER
al business.
To remedy this situation, the bill in
question which passed the House was
approved by the Senate with certain
changes. Both Colorado Senators
voted for the measure.
Training Camps Believed Important
Delegates at the Reserve Officers
Convention recently held at Fort Sam
Houston. Texas. have called upon
their representatives in Congress to
continue appropriations for Reserve
Officers Training Camps, pointing out
the important part which the civilian
army" played In the World War, Con.
gressman Vaile and others have al
ready displayed a keen interest in this
matter. A3 8
