EXTRAVAGANCE IS CHARGED
Dr-mocrat Say It Mad Duty on Kw

Kay Measure Coldblooded De
bate Will Be Long and Hot.
WASHINGTON. Jun . Th lon--rxpcted
wool tsrlff bill was Intro
duced In th Hon of Rprnttlva
today by Chairman Underwood, of th
ways and man commltt. Iebat on
th bill will ba-ln In arnet tomor
row. Th measur was accompanied by a
lengthy report from th Democrats of
th commltte. In Its favor, while th
Republican members, headed by Rep
rntatlT Payne, of New York, unan
imously reported against It.
Indication are that tha passage of
th bill will b stubbornly contested.
Sharply criticising President Taft. th
Republican and th tariff board, tha
majority report quotes President Taft's
address after ths passage of th Payna
Aldrlch MIL In which h declared that
"th woolen schedul Is Indefensible
and I propose to say so." and says that
had these declarations been mad whtl
th bill was under consideration they
mlsht hav been of some service.
The report deals at some lsnirtb with
th attitude of th Administration In
not communicating to Congress data on
ths stel trust" and other Industries
now blng Investigated, and th fallur
of th tariff board to communicate data
on tb woolea Industry.
Th commltte Insists, a th Demo
cratic caucus did. that the duty "Is not
to b construed as an abandonment of
any Democratlo policy." It says that
Republican extravagance makes It nec
essary to maintain tb revenue at ap
proximately the total of th fiscal year
110.
All th Democratic members of th
commltt. with th exception of Fran
cis Burton ILarrlson, of New Tor,
signed the report.
The minority report Is signed by
Representstlve Payne, Dalsell. Need
ham and Lxmgworth.
Tor purely political reasons." It
says, "this cold-blooded measure Is
brought forward. It It could become
a law It would slaughter sheep as In
114 and clos th. mills much more
universally.
"Without any bearing and new data,
with bo Information later than that of
two years ago. this bill Is forced on the
public with a mandate of a political
raurua There can b no expectation
that It will pass the other House or
even b considered ther befor De

man. While In another room today
Dreyfus shot himself through th. head,
