Postoflice Box 94 Ontario, Oregon NEWS FROM OUR NATIONAL CAPITAL Caucus Finishes Tariff Bill and Conditions Seem to Favor an Early Passage Washington. The democratic tariff revision bill with Ita aweeplng reduc tions, a long free Hat and Its income tax. is now ready for debate in the house of representatlvea. Chairman Underwood predicted that the bill would be passed In the house by May 16. Two months, the admin Istratton leadera believe, la a gener ous time to allot to the senate for Its consideration and passage, and unless It la decided to bring In a currency bill thereafter, congress ahould be ready to adjourn about July 16. The bill, M approved by President Wilson, cnme through the caucus un scathed. Democratic opponenta to free sugar In three years and to free raw wool made the moat vigorous fights on the president's suggestions adopted by the ways and means committee, but they were hopelessly outvoted. Free List Increased The caucus agreed to an amendment to transfer buckwheat and rye to the free Hat and to add savings banks "not conducted for profit" to the list of exemptions from the operation of the Income tax. There waa no change In the Item of wheat, on which the mill era have been making a great fight, because of the putting of flour on the free Hat. The principal changea were: Shoe machinery, buckwheat, rye, rabbit fur and phosphoric acid, trans ferred from dutiable to the free list; onyx reduced from 66 cents to 60 cents a cubic foot to put It on the aame ba els as marble; dlnmnnds, uncut, are unchanged, but cut dlamonda are In oreaaed from 16 to 20 per cam; caator oil la reduced from 16 to 12 per cent, cod, aeal and herring oil. reduced from i to S per cent; aperm oil reduced from 6 to 3 per cent; vanlla beana re duced from 60 to 30 carta a pound; suits and other compounds and mix tures of which bismuth, gold, platln urn, rhodium, allver, tin and uranium ocnatllute the chief value, cut from K to 10 per c lit. California Urged to Act Cautiously Following the prcedent of previous administrations Secretary Hryan In a telegram to Oovernor Johnaon ex pressed the view of President Wilson that the California assembly measure might be construed aa a violation of treaty obligations with Japan, while the aeuate's measure aa drawn would not bo objectionable, If alien land leg lalatlon Is to be enacted at all. In this the federal government rec ognlxea the sovereign right of Califor nia to legislate according to Ita own Judgment, bin the message counaelled caution. Assembly Bill Objectionable The telegram and other Information from offlelul circlet Indicated cleurly that the provisions In th assembly hill by which aliens "Ineligible to clt Uenshlp" would be prohibited from owning land were regarded aa a die Unci discrimination against (he Japan eae, who at present have not the right of ' .'i. in. I". -111111 The language of the senate bill restricting "ownership of lands to cltlieus of the United States or allena who have declared their Intention of becoming cltlaeua" la a. rosed by I he president, aa he haa discovered that this Is the phrase ology of the atatutes already In force In New York, DuUwure, Kansas. Min nesota, Kentucky, Washington, Mis souri and the District of Columbia. Incidentally, all these laws make It Impossible for Japanese to own lands until they are able to declare their In tention of becoming cltiiens, a prlvl lag which the lower conrta thua far have not given them on the ground that they are not of "white or African descent " Dollar Diplomacy to Be Given Quietus I'n nldent Wilson Hint Secretary of Uryan are planning to reorganize th- South and Central iuericau ill ploniatlc aervlce, eliminating the last vesitge of "dollur diplomat) It Is reported that Brun believes that his subordinates have been giving out matters which he thinks rhould come from the department chief, and u akgjj e up In the state department it predicted.
