McCarran Opens Fight
For Reciprocal Trade
Pact Exemptions
Vote on Continuing Act
Three More Years Is Not
Likely Before Wednesday
By i. A. O'LEARY.

A fight to exempt copper, oil, lum-
Der and coal from reciprocal trade
agreements, on the ground they are
subject to excise taxes rather than
tariffs, was begun today by Senator
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada.
Meanwhile, it appeared unlikely
the Senate will reach a final vote
before Wednesday or Thursday on
the pending resolution to continue
the Trade Agreement Act for three
more years.
Senator McCarran, in urging
adoption of his amendment, said
That when the Trade Act was being
drafted originally in 1884 Chairman
harrison OF the Finance Committee
indicated that the taxes on these
1our products were to be regarded
AS frozen" by those handling the
trade agreement program.
Similar Amendment Rejected.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, interrupted to point out. how
ever, that the Senate at that time
rejected an amendment similar to
the one now being considered to
grant the specific exemption.
Senator McCarran replied that a
number of Senators, including him.
self, voted against the amendment
at that time because they wer re-
lying on the viewpoint previously
expressed by the committee chair
man to the effect that the taxes on
those commodities would not be af-
fected.
Il say without fear of contradict
ton you couldn't have passed this
ect in 1884 or have continued it in
1887 without this understanding, 3"
Senator McCarran declared.
Nevertheless. he said. two of these
products have been affected by trade
agreements. and others may be. Oil
was included in the agreement with
Venezuela and lumber was affected
by the Canadian agreement.
Administration Victory Claimed.
AS the debate was renewed. ad-
ministration leaders expressed con-
hdence that complete victory is lin
the bag" on extending the reciprocal
trade program.
sltlon reached its high vote Friday
in the balloting on an amendment
to require Senate ratification of
each trade pact. That proposal was
rejected. A to Al.
The opponents, however, still have
several cards up their sleeve before
debate ends in midweek. They will
offer an amendment to require ap-
proval of trade agreements by
majority of both houses.
If that fails, they will propose
ratification by Senate aiority
only. Fridays amendment would
have required approval of trade
agreements by tWo-t thirds vote.
La Toilette Amendment Next.
The leadership's schedule calls for
consideration of an amendment by
Senator La Toilette. Progressive. of
Wisconsin after disposal of the Nc
Carran proposal.
Senator La Toilette has proposed
that an export-import control board
be set up, with power to curtail

The Attorney General also told the
prosecutors that good faith &C

of the Hatch Act prohibiting politi-

will relieve many district attorneys
from the embarrassment of what
heretofore have been regarded as
legitimate expectations of political

There can also be no doubt that

machinery of particular party or
faction may present a prosecuting

The prosecutors. coming from 85

knocked down, line play got two
yards while the next pass also was
no good. The punt gave Pasco the
ball on their own 25 and they made
II yards on the next three plays.
After picking up three more on the
next two plays, Pasco was penalized
Is yards, of which they got five back
on Kennewick penalty. A punt
put the ball in the Lions paws on
their 48-yard line mad here the
Lions really began to purr. They
pushed the ball So yards across in
six plays, for their only touchdown.
A line buck by Belair carried the
ball over for the extra point. Score:
1877.
Then came another punting duel,
KenneWick getting the ball on their
80. A tumble cost Is more as the
quarter ended. B
Seven yards were gained by Ken
newick in the first play in the
fourth, with eight more on the next
play, but they were compelled to
punt. From here on both teams
tried everything in their complete
category of plays, and most every
thing went wrong for Kennewick
and all to the good for the visitors.
After a couple of plays the teams
exchanged punts and KenneWick
lost the ball on tumble. Rogers of
Pasco finally got through for nearly
80 yards, when he was knocked out
Of bounds by Smith who ran him
down. With a couple of line plays
and a short pass, Pasco was again
knocking at the goal, getting up to
the three-yard line, where they lost
the ball on a tumble.

it on an offSide and five more on
the next play. It began to look up
again for the Lions. The punt was
doWned on the % stripe and Ken
neW1ck made nine of their ten on
line plays. Then the Bulldogs broke
through again for what looked like
another score. gaining % yards as
the gun sounded. Score 15-7.
The standing of the teams is too
complicated for layman to figure
out. Kennewick won five games and
lost two, forfeited three and won
one without bubble. Probably the
best team in the league, probably
placed last in the standings.

to pay a state examiner two,
three hundred dollars a year to
audit the county affairs-we
could do it for nothin' and save
money.
Then we could have an "un-

They could look after such

could divide the county up into
small districts and rent 'em out

somethin' like that-an' limit
the number that could hunt at

there wouldn't be so much dan

feel so uneasy if he happened
to walk out across his place
during the hunting season.
Then, OF course, we could
hive an entertainment commit

so the city boys could spend
their small change on shell

All in all, we think that this
could be worked into a grand

means of takin' the farmer off

in the money.
