NEWS FROM OUR NATIONAL CAPITAL Wo Schedule Is Passed by the House All Repubman Amendments Killed. E BRIEF NEWS OF OREGON Washington. Th wool schedule whs pnssrd without amendment by the bouse tn its consideration of the Un derwood tariff bill. It went through with little excitement, its passage causing scarcely a ripple on the mooth waterB of the democratic tariff program. The republicans concentrated their attacks on the schedule by presenting a blanket amendment as a substitute for It. This substitute, prepared by Representative Payne, provided a rate of 18 cents a pound on raw wool, "placed on the free list in the Under wood bill, and comparative rates based on a duty of 18 cents a pound on the wool contents of the various stages of manufactured woolens. The republicans proclaimed their substitute to be In conformity with the report which the tnrlff board made on the woolen Industry, made two years ago. Tli- democrats as emphat ically declared that It was not. An expected defection from party lines by democratic members repre senting woolgrowlng states failed to materialise in the vote on raw wool. The republican substitute was defeat ed and the Underwood schedule passed 74 to 13. The progressives who voted with the democrats were: Murdock of Kansas, Kelley of Tennessee, Chandler of New York, and Bryan and Falconer of Washington. Good Rosds Committee Proposed Washington. Good roads legislation Is considered of such Importance that leading democrats propose to create a new standing committee in the house to be known as the committee on good roads. Provision for such a committee of 21 was made in a resolution Intro duced by Representative Henry, of Texas. Should the committee be cre ated It would take from the present committee on postofflces and post roadH a part of lis work. Mr. Henry declared thet mor- than GO good roads measures already introduced which or dinarily would go to numerous send ing committees should go to one and bis suggestion had the approval of many leading democrats. Britain Objects to Preferential Clause The British government has Joined the nutlons in Protest against that por tion of the tariff bill which extends a preferential difference of 5 per cent on goods imported In American bot toms. One of the first acts of Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the new British ambassa dor, was to call the attention of the State department to this provision as In vlolatlou of the existing treaty of trade and commerce between America and Qreat Britain. It Is understood the democratic tar iff managers in the house, who were t first disposed to permit the senate to deal with this question. It being one Involving treaty relations, which belong to the upper houBe, have recog nised the force of the objections that have accumulated from all quarters and will themselves remove the ob jectionable provision by an amend ment when the administrative section of the bill containing it is reached. Japan Will Enter Formal Protest News that the Japanese government had instructed Ambassador Chinda to make formal protest against the Cal ifornia alien land bill, now awating Governor .lohnsous signature, was re ceived in Washington official circles with Intereet, although It was not un expected. It is tukeii for granted In official clrcleB here that legal proceedings will follow the enactment of the bill Into "japan believes Its treaty rights should be taken to The Hague for ad justment, but It is probable the de partment of Justice and the state de partment will hold that the proper pro cedure will be for Japanese affected by the legislation to appeal to the fed eral courts. Currency Act in Doubt If President Wilson proposes to ask congress for currency legislation at the extra session he has not yet made any definite suggasUOsI relatlug to it, but the house leaden win Icon MUM muy days his plans in that regard As to currency legislation at this session it l "owu ,Uat ,ne tt,,",er of the house is against it.
