THE MOROTKG OREGONIATS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1903 TO VOTE ON BILL House Fixes Thursday in Cuban Matter. DEMOCRATS OPPOSE RULE Declare It Prevents Taking Up of Amendments. MINORITY REPORT SENT IN Payne Opens the Discussion, for the Measure-Williams and Other Prominent Democrats Criti cise the Tariff. WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. The House today made a fair start on the legis lation for which it -was convoked in special session, adopting a rule under which a vote "will be taken at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon on the bill to make the Cuban reciprocity treaty effective, and entering: on a debate of the Cuban bilL Tho rule was adopted by a party vote, with the exception that six Repub lican members from lichigan and Col orado Joined the minority in opposition to the rule. The Democrats opposed the rule on the ground that It was drastic and prevented a vote being taken on any amendment to the bill, while the six Re publican votes cast against it included opposition to the measure as antagonistic to beet-sugar interests. The short debate which preceded the adoption of the rule was followed by sev eral speeches on the merits of the meas ure. Payne opened the debate In a short epoch, whose keynote was that the meas ure would not affect. Injuriously, sugar, tobacco or any other interests, and was znado by National honor and good faith. Por tho minority representatives Will lams (Miss.), Swanson (Va.) and Robin Bon (Ind.) made speeches, criticising the Republicans for their tariff policy and the excessive taxation of the public. Tariff Vill Be Issue Again. Swanson predicted danger to our foreign commerce from higher foreign tariffs, un less we Initiate tariff reforms, and de clared the tariff question again would become a burning political issue. A minority report, setting forth the views of 'WIlliamB (Dem., Miss.), Swanson (Dem., Va.), McClellan (Dem., N. T.) and Clark (Dem., Mo.). Cooper (Dem., Tex.), also a member of the minority on the ways and means committee, presented a long report, condemning the Cuban treaty in toto. Whan the House convened, Dalzell (Pa.) reported a resolution prbvldlng that the bill reported from the ways and means committee should be considered to the ex clusion of all other business, until A o'clock Thursday, when a vote will be taken without intervening motion. Williams (Dem., Miss.), speaking for the minority in opposition to the rule, declared it was about the most drastic rule ever introduced in the House, saying It shut off all right to perfect the bill. He said the minority desired to offer an amendmont, which .proposed to strike out the "double-barreled pledge" contained in the bill. Applause from the Democratic clde greeted the statement that the bill tears down one-fifth of the schedules built up by the Republicans. The amendment It was desired to offer was the one decided on in the Democratic caucus Saturday night. Dalzell, replying to the charge that the rule was a most drastic measure, reverted to the time when the Wilson bill was pending and Crisp was speaker, saying he commended the minority to a study of their own parliamentary history. Williams demanded the yeas and nays on the adoption of tho rule, and they were ordered. The rule was adopted, 176 yeas to 155 nays. With the announcement of the vote, Williams asked unanimous consent to propose an amendment to the rule for a yea and nay vote on the amendmont pro posed by tho minority, with 20 minutes' discussion on each side, a vote then to be taken on the bill. Payne (N. Y.) objected. The House then went Into committee of tho whole, with Sherman (N. Y.) in the chair. The minority voted unanimously against the rule. The Republicans voting against its adoption were: Smith (Mich.), Fordney (Mich.), Loud (Mich.), McMor raa (Mich.), Brooks (Colo.) and Hogg Colo.). Payne Speaks for the Bill. Payne opened tho debate, urging the passage of the bill. He said no harm would be brought to the sugar industry by the legislation now proposed, and like wise the tobacco industry could not be harmed by the proposed new arrange ment. Ho argued that no Industry would be affected by the perfection of the treaty. He saM. In reply to an inquiry, that ho c id not expect new industries to be estab lished while this question was being agi tated. "Our National pride appeals to us to pass the bill," said Payne, in conclu sion. Williams (Dem., Miss.) denied that the minority desired to amend the bill, in or der to kill it, or to kill the treaty. Ho read the minority report, giving the rea sons why the minority desired to amend the bill. Mr. Williams held the Repub licans responsible for the fact that the treaty Is not In effect today. Referring to Payne, Williams said: "As to that part of his speech which advocates this 111 upon its merits, it is almost as sudden a conversion as that of St Paul on his way to Damascus: it is almost as sudden an occurrence as was this recent birth of the new Republic of Panama." Williams spoke only a few minutes, re serving the right to close the debate for the minority. Holds Foreign Trade In Peril. Swanson (Dem., Va.) discussed the perils which he said threaten our foreign commerce by the new tariffs passed in other countries in retaliation for the Dlngley act. He insisted that, unless con cessions are made from the present tariff "before long, all of Europe would be com bined In commercial warfare against the X'nlted States. He discussed Chamber lain's policy, saying that 55 per cent of our foreign trade was with the United Kingdom and her colonies, all of which, he said, was jeopardized by this policy. Swanson then discussed the evil of which he said resulted from the failure of this country to negotiate a treat? with Canada. The exclusive policy of the Dlngley act, he declared, would destroy our foreign commerce, and remarked that the Republican party would never modify It RoblnSbn (Dem., Ind.), taking as his text a treasury, statement, argued against the Republican policy, which he said was f that of excessive taxation. A letter from Mr. Ball, of Texas, an nouncing his resignation, was read. The House adjourned at 4:50 P. M. OREGON CONGRESSMEN IN(L1NE Williamson, However, Is Not Much in Sympathy With Rule or BUI. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Nov. 16. Both the Oregon and Washington Congressmen voted today to sustain the rule brought in for the con sideration of the Cuban bill, and will later vote for the bill itself. Representative Williamson, apparently, was not much in sympathy with either the rule or the bill. Ho said, however, that his action must necessarily be in accord with the Houso leaders, in view of the favor he will later ask on behalf of his Lewlsand Clark bill. He said ho had found a tremendous senti ment among Republican members against the Cuban legislation and believed If an honest vote, showing the true convictions of all Republicans, could be had, the legis lation would be overwhelmingly defeated. OBJECTIONS OF MINORITY. Cooper Holds Bill Violates Both Prin ciples of the Tariff. WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. A minority re port on the Cuban bill, setting forth the views of Williams (Dem., Miss.), Swan son (Dem., Va,), McClellan (Dem., N. Y.), and Clark (Dem., Mo.), on the Cuban bill, was filed in the House today. Cooper (Dem., Tex.), also a member of the minor ity on the ways and means committee, presented a long report condemning tho Cuban treaty in toto. Mr. Cooper does not bellevo- Cuban reci procity will benefit either Cuba or the United States. In his opinion, he also says there are grave doubts regarding the constitutionality of the bill. The proposed legislation, Mr. Cooper Eays, is both un-Democratic and un-Re-publJcan. Un-Democratic because tho beneficiaries are the sugar refining inter ests and some other special interests, and the benefits they will receive will have to be made good by an additional tax on the whole people upon some other article. It is un-Republican, in that it deliberately seeks to injure and Interfere with a home industry by lowering tariff rates which protect that industry, thus directly invit ing and stimulating a foreign Industry. The treaty, he says, -violates both the prin ciple of the tariff for revenue and tariff for protection. One of the "strongest objections to tho bill lies against the extraordinary supple mental provision prohibiting the House of Representatives from, making any further reductions in the duty on sugar during the life of the treaty. Legislation, such as is proposed in this bill, will assuredly anger and alienate other friendly powers. The roport states that the bill should be amended by striking out tho provision that no reduction In sugar duty should be made during tho life of tho treaty, declaring that one Congress has no right to bind succeeding Congresses, and by inserting an amendment striking out the differential on refined sugar," Be cause," the report says, "In our opinion we would thereby deprive the great sugar trust of this country of some of its power to extort from the consumer; curtail its power to bear down the price of the -raw material, thereby injuring the sugar planter, and lessen Its ability to dictate to wholesale and retail dealers In sugar the manner in which they shall do busi ness, and the price at which they shall sell refined sugar. "The House during the 57th Congress took this view and passed an amendment identically worded as now proposed by us. The House took that view after a full investigation and a comparatively full discussion of the question." The report says, if the amendment is adopted, the minority will gladly vote for the bill, but even If defeated, they rec ommend Its passage, "Because," the re port states, "we think the good to be done by Its passage will far overbalance tho evil which will result from a failure to take advantage of the opportunity to di minish the power of the sugar trust and the evil resulting from a bad precedent proposing. Ineffectually, It is true, to pre vent the country from still further reduc ing duties upon Cuban sugars and upon sugars from other countries whenever it shall appear wise and expedient to do so by reciprocal treaty agreement or by statute law. "As long as the present party is in power, we can perhaps hope for tariff re ductions and revision only from recipro city treaties. It is a piecemeal process, but it is better than no process at all. We hall it as a harbinger of future re ciprocity treaties with oTher countries, especially those upon the American con tinent, and notably our neighbor to the North, the Dominion of Canada.'-' CHINESE TREATY At HAND. SJate Department Will Send It to the Senate at Once. WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.
