committee began its work in spirit
of making the bill more moderate. The
chairman of the finance committee is
Senator Smoot Of Utah. Senator Smoot
has often been called 1.-The high priest"
Of protection, but his course in this
tariff bill has been such that 1t caused
another Senator to say of him, HE
isn't even an altar boy" Senator Smoot
worked consistently for rates that should
give adequate protection, according to
his judgment. but which were more
moderate than the rates In the House
bill. When the IL Republican members
of the finance committee voted upon
what rates to write Senator Smoot was
prevailingly on the side of moderate
rates. While the proceedings of the
Senate finance committee are secret,
the news Of Senator Shoots attitude
became known to the other Senators,
with the result that Senator Smoot
heard praise of himself from Senator

Raskob Of the Democratic national
committee, introduced an aggressive in
novation. He set up in Washington an
executive committee under ex-Repre-
sentative Jouett Shouse Of Kansas. The
executive committee employed an ex-
ceptionally capable publicity man. From
this source has come a flood Of able
publicity adverse to the bill. It Is so
well done that the newspapers generally
print it.
On the other side there is practically
nothing. The Republican party organ
ization has put out no publicity what
ever. Republican newspapers have not
spoken up as was their custom in for
mer tariff fights. Most Of the Repuh-
lican newspapers are either tepid in
their support or indifferent.

that was clearly step No. 2, and the
most unfortunate STEP in the process
through which the present mess came
about.
AS soon as the bill was brought from
the ways and means committee into
Congress as a whole there began some
seven days Of activity of an extraordinary
kind. Congress as a whole seemed to
take it for granted from what the COM
mittee had done that, to quote an ex-
pressive phrase which was used at the
time, the lid was Off" Representatives
of industries observed that other indus
tries had got what they wanted, and

used at the time-"if pie is being passed

manded. No member could afford to
seem Indifferent to the interests of his
own district. The bill as passed by the
House was pretty thorough-going,
old-fashioned, far-reaching, high-tariff
measure.
BY that fact the bill laid itself open
to attack from the Democrats and Pro-
greSsive Republicans.
BY that time the farm relief bill was
out of the way. The Democrats and
Progressive Republicans could pay at
tention to what was being done about
the tariff. From them came an out
burst of cynicism. Much of it was ex-
travagant, of course, but the oppor-
tunity was inherent in the bill. There
was also, Of course, much partisanship.

q period lasting, roughly, through the
month Of June and into the middle OF
July, when the prevailing attitude OF
the country toward the bill was one OF
harsh jeering.
The bill now went to the Senate. AL
ways the course of the Senate has been
to write rates even higher than those
which the House has written. 1t was
expected this would happen again. One
of the principal leaders of industry said
at that time: I'VE got a good deal of
what we wanted in the Lower House,
and we'll get more in the Senate"
But the Senate was aware of the
sentiment that had arisen throughout
the country. The Senate recalled also
President Hoover's specification that the
revisions as respects industry should be
limited"

tariff should be exclusive. A sufficient
proof is the tariff on cement. It was
shown the hearings that more than
90 per cent of all the cement used in
the United States Is manufactured here,
and that less than per cent was able
to come into the United States under
a condition in which cement was on
the free list. Nevertheless, the commit

KEEP BOYS BUSY
SAYS KNUDSON

Boys must be kept busy" said
Prof. K. o. Knudson, OF the Las
Vegas Grammar schools, in an
address made last night before the
Las Vegas Kiwanis Club. For
those boys who do not have work
to keep them active after schools
and on Saturdays, nothing is bet
ter than scouting. While there Is
much practical knowledge for the
boys in the Boy Scout work, the
principal benefit derived is the
solid foundation of character which
the movement makes possible.
A survey of the delinquent min
or cases in Las Vegas reveals that
the offenders were not engaged IN
any constructive activity through
the means of work or scouting"
A handsome donation was made
by the service club toward the
Baptist Church parsonage building
fund.
Four new members have been
elected to the club. They are Bob
Cantrell, A. c. Grant, w. j. Flow
ers and Rev. G. S. Reynolds.

Conference at Santa Fe, New

er will entrain for the conference
city tonight.
Looks Good
All three of the commissioners
are exceedingly optimistic concern
ing the outcome of the peace con-
ference.
There is not the slightest ques-
ton of a doubt in my mind but
that Arizona will see the folly of
obstinacy," said DR.. Martin upon
leaving. THE compact will be rati-
led by every state involved in a
few weeks and the construction
appropriations will be made forth
with"
Mr.. Squires, who has been in
the thick of the fight ever since
the Dam was first proposed and
has followed the legislation every
step of the way was anything but
downhearted.
Last Trip
I'VE are making the last trip in
the interest of ratification" de-
clared Mr.. Squires. "It is very fit
ting that this last conference
should bring us all together where
the original treaty was negotiated.
1t is a good omen. The seven state
pact will be ratified and according
to the best interests of all the
states involved"
Ed Clark stated that in his opin-
ion the conference will not exceed
the duration of six days.
ST look for an approval from
Arizona six days after the confer
ence," said Mr. Clark.
Arizona is pretty well in shape
to put her stamp of approval on
the Swing johnson bill and firm
ly believe that she will meet her
sister states half way"
The delegates were in accord on
one thing, and that is that the
ratification will be got and that it
won't be long now!
