BEVERIDGE HITS TARIFF BILL HARD Wc Asked for Law," Ho Thunders "and Thoy Gavo Us MockcryWc Asked for Power, Thoy Gavo Us Palsy" Brands Bill as Unfair. SAYS HE VOTED FOR PROTECTION, NOT EXCESS Advocates Tariff Commission as the lest Way to Deal With Import Question Explains His Vote. (Continued from Pago 1.) In his speech Senator Bovorldgo scored: the tariff bill. Ho said lu jrt: " Tho republicans of, Indiana nro for a protoctlvo tariff which covers lito dlfferanco In tho cost of produc tion hero an 5 abroad. Lea3 than that Is unjust to American laborers; more than that is unjust to American con timers. "Injustice is tho only foo that pro tection needs. to fear. It was to ro sace tho Dlrcloj tariff to meet the changed conditions and securo jus tice that wo undertook Us revision. "Like Pre. ldont Taft, I wanted free iron oic, of which wo have tho KTcatest deposit, on earth and which tto steel ti ast chiefly controls. On iron ore no protection Is tooled and I would not stand for tho d".ty that iraa proposed and passed, and I can aot stand for It now. Wanted Free Lumber. "Like President Taft, I wanted free lumber, out of which tho homes of the people aro built. I could not stand foi tho duty proposed nnd pass ed on lumber, and I cannot stand for it now. "Like President Taft I wanted tho rodent woolen schedule reduced a schedule which, it over right, long xlnco has eeived its purpose and which now elves to tho woolen trusts as unfair control of our market. I stood asainst that schedule when wo tried to reduce It when the bill was gassed, and I' am against It now. "It Is sail that the law 'has made reductions oa articles entering Into Uic consumption of tho people to the value of ?5,000,000.000; If these ar ticles aro made of such things as lumber, agricultural Implements, scat and food products, petroleum sd Its products, all of which wo aro tie greatest exporters In tho world; steel, rails and coal, which we ex port; barbed wire, monopolized by the steel trust; nails manufactured and sold by an International trust as complete as the International tobac co monopoly; yarns and threads; the raw materlat for textiles, on which textiles when finished for the peo ple's, use tho tariff was increased; npr, which was not reduced in fact, kat only Jn pretense. j Slaughter of Committee. dy? In a tariff commlsalon." Snnntnr lUverMce. siicnktnK of wlmt ho dealcimtod "tho so-called tariff bill," said: "When I livToduccd tho tariff com m'sston bill threo years nno 1 said It had no friends In congress. Today a largo majority of republicans nro tor it, and oven ono domocrat has soeu. tho result. Hut nt tLo begin ning of tho last session It had only a tow friends In congress. Thorotoro I felt that it was Impossible to get n full-flodgod tariff commlcclou enact ed Into law; and bo I acted on tho theory of getting tho best I could, Mino was a fatal faith. For what was tho reimttf I drew the provision nuthorUlng tho president to appoint persons wltlufull power to malto tar iff investigations under his direction. Senator Aldrich would not agroo to all of It. Ho struck out or changed vital language. Yet what remained of my provision cavo to theoo persons broad powers to gather necessary facts to aid congress In tariff leglsla, tlon. In this form It passed tho senate. "Hut tho conforonco commission struck out absolutely every word giving these persons any powers to Investigate and collect tho facts, leav Ing to tho pres'dent nothing butlho authority to employ persons to assist them in tho administration of maxi mum and minimum seclons of tho law. "Wo asked for a reality of tho law, they gavo us a mockery. Wo asked for power, thoy gavo us palsy. Wo asked for bread; they gavo us a stone. Such a makeshift will not an swer tho necda of American business men, producers nnd consumers." FEAR OF HOME FOLKS NEIGHBORS SAY TAFTJSADABOUT President Is Seldom at Homo, But Spends His Timo Running About From Place to Place Three En gagements an Evening Is Usual. Congressman McCredie of Washing ton Tells Why the House Provides No Automobiles for Its Members. WASHINGTON", April 5. "You see this broad, smooth roadway, guiltless of vehicles of any sort?

On tho contra ry, It ecoiub to enjoy it. Frobnbly two-thirds ot tho "occa sions" have remanded speeches. Im promptu or otherwise. Several mil lion words ot public spouklng have1 been turned uui. by the president In tho last year. At least two nights a week, when ho Is In Washington, the president nttends tho theater. Often ho first takes In tho play and after wards hurries away to somo other function, a dlnnor, or dance. Is It strnnge that the luxuriant mustache that hides or reveals tho famous Taft smile is growing gray? Probably no other president over put the physical effort Into gadding about that Taft does. Certainly he holds tho record for continuous per formances. Threo engagements In an ovcnlng with two speeches to dllvor la no uncommon thing for him.

These are examples. I was against tteni then I am against them now: 'Compromise on purely economic de tail Is otton wlso; but compromise with, sheer injustice Is always wrong. "The making ot a tariff, so long as moderation and Justice aro follow ed. Is an economic question, but the moment excess and injustice are prac ticed the making ot a tariff becomes also a moral question. How no Voted. "Tho fight last year was a nation al fight, and who won the battle? I want the people ot Indiana to know Out nil the real fighting that was rfoso for Justice In tariff schedules -was done by, tho republicans and not y tho democrats.

They make the trip in comfort, with speed nnd in a style befitting the dignity of their office. But tiiero arc no nutos for us. I suppose that one reason i they think we do not need nutomo biles through our subway is that we iare younger men, ns a rule, than the senators, nnd being spryer, can walk. Oh, walking does us good, of course, but every timo I make the trip either way, I feel like getting up in the house and demanding an nuto from the appropriations committee. "We would have had. the autos long ngo if wo were not all cowards. But there isn't one man in a hundred in the house that would dare to vote for a bill providing automobiles for this subway. Every member would bo dead sure that tho vote would bob up to plague him at the next cam paign. It would bo a fine slogan for the opposing candidate to cry, 'Ah ha! Congressman Smith is too lazy to wnlk from Tiis office to the cap itol, a distance of two blocks.
