SELF-|NTERESTS
Of TARIFF BODY
Coolidge Has Session With
Members of Commission
PROCEEDINGS ARE SECRET
Proprlety OF Certain Acts Said 10
l Have Been Questioned And
~ Hint Given OF y"
Shake-up.

Washington. ~ President Cool
idge launched a personal inquiry
into the Tariff Commission to
learn if financial interests are in
any way influencing its decisions.
He also raised the grave question
Of the propriety Of any member who
has made investment which may be
affected by the tariff sitting on the
board
Having failed to iron the matter out
through negotiations he called the en-
tire Commission to meet him. Three
hours later when the conference ad-
iourned the Commission resented the
implication of self-interest and it was
stated officially that one of the long
,st sessions since Mr.. Coolidge entered
the White House had ended in dead
lock. (
The Commission took with it, how
ever, the parting admonition that the
President will insist that 1t is i'm
proper for any member of the Commits
sion to have investments or inter-
ests which may be affected by tariff
decisions and that their whole loyalty
must go either to the board or to
those interests.
Unless the board comes to the Presi-
dents way of thinking, it was init
mated, he will ask for the resigna-
tions Of those who fail to see the situa-
tion as he does and promptly name
new commissioners
What member or members Of the
board have come under suspicion, II
any, was carefully guarded. No mem
Der of the Commission itself would
even intimate what had transpired, or
why the President had called them to
the White House.
The White House, however, made no
secret Of the fact that the President
had raised the question ofsthe propri-
ETY. Of certain of the Commissions &C
tions.
The Commission took the position
tnaf even though some member may
have made investments in various ven
lures, it would in no way affect the
decision OF the Commission in any
Of the important cases now pending be-
fore it. They refused, 1t is understood,
to agree not to sit in case in which
a change in the tariff might bring a
change in the value Of their holdings.
The subject SO far, it was learned,
was argued as one Of principle without
any specific instance being cited.

Cummins Act
FREIGHT RATE ASSAULT
First Meeting Under New Committee
Chairman Set For Monday
Elected BY coali-
ss.t tion., Z

terstate Commerce Committee will
meet within a week to begin re
vision of the Esch- Cummins rail

sives by Senator Ellison D. Smith, Of

coalition OF Progressive Republicans
and Democrats. with the tacit consent
Of Administrator Republicans. Hay-
ing prevented Senator Cummfns. con.
servative, from taking the chairman
ship, Progressives indicated they will
not try to GUST him from the commit
tee entirely. az
Smith himself is not enthusiastic
over his new Office.
"All I want to say now is that /
was elected without any action on my
part" he said.
While Smith will be formal chair
man Of the committee, Senator Robert
M. La Toilette. Progressive dictator 2
will be the power. behind the throne.
La Toilette, has assurances from
Smith which will give the Progressives
an advantage in the committee. They
now claim enough votes to cause a
favorable report on the proposal to
repeal section 15-A, the clause in the
rain law which Progressives say guar.
antees earning Of railroads.
La Toilette already has mapped out
his plan of action and wishes to begin
hearings under slogan Of reduced
freight rates for the farmers as soon
as the committee can be organized.

require two or three days, Smith said,
and the first meeting of the committee
may be held Monday.

deadlock that had lasted since Con.
gress opened. 1t occurred on the
fthirty-second ballot, taken when Smith
got one more than majority Of the
Senate. Absence Of several Admins.
tration Republicans. who didn't care

Wyoming University
Day is February 18th

During the summer session OF
Wyoming University of 1922 a group
of superintendent and principals
in e n d a n met to discuss
additional ways whereby the adj
vantages of the University of Wy
oming could be presented to high
school students. 1t was recommend
ed to the officers of the summer
school organization that a day be
designated as University Day in the
wyoming High Schools and that
every high school in the state be
requested to observe such day by a
suitable program. 1t was suggested
that the officers of the organization
in cooperation with members of the
University faculty, prepare a suitable
program for this purpose. A bulle-
tin was prepared and the high
schools in the state were asked to
carry out the suggested program on
January 20, 1928. The reports of
the success of the program were very
gratifying. The Summer School or
ganization of 1928 instructed the
36icers of the organization to ar
range for the observation of Uni
versity Day during the present year.
Friday, February Is. 1924, has been
designated as University Day. 1t is
hoped that evoly high school in the
state will carry out the suggested
program on this date.

Blame the coffee instead, for the

Coffee ground for %percolator use

The bitter chaff that clogs the tiny
holes of the %percolator should be re-
