TITE MOITXIXO OREGOXIAX, TIITTIISOAY, JULY 6,. 1911. 6, 1911. DEMOCRATS 11 TAKE ALL GRED1T Blame to Be Put on Republi cans Where Reciprocity Proves Unpopular. INSURGENTS TAILING ON l;ffort Now Centered on Enlarging Wool Bill to Include General Tariff Itesl.tlon Hope President Will Sign. BT HARRT J. SROWN. OREGON'IAX NEWS BUREAU. "Wash Incrton. Jalr 6. The Democrat of tba Hnate. with two or three exceptions, are well plrased with the legislative situation In Conarress and they are the only ones who are pleased. They Cfrure that thvy have things about where they want them. The Canadian reciprocity tIU Is sure of pn.., sooner or later, end probably without amendment. If they pet nothing more, they will feel that they have trained a Rreat deal, for they are prepared to claim all the credit for the enactment of President Taft's pet measure, and the credit romlna- from the ratification of this agreement they -count will help them nitsrhtlly in the next campaign. - As to the rest of the tariff pro gramme, the Senate Pemocrats are In a position larsely to dictate the terms ft whatever bills may be passed, or If no bills are passed, they are in a position to show their own readiness to vote for them, and place the responsi bility for defeat on the shoulders of the Republican majority. Then asraln. If a combination of Democrats and Insurg ents Is able to pass the wool bill, free list bill, or a sreneral tariff revision bill, and the President exercises his right of veto, then again the Iemocrat can point to their votes, and shew that It was a Republican President who pre vented revision of the unpopular Schedules of the Payne-Aldrlch law. Tears Are Well Founded. T.'hen the Insurgents joined with the IVmocrats to order a report on the wool bill a short time ago. It was the belief and the hope of the Insurgents that the wool bill could be used as the basis for a general revision of the tariff, and that a general tariff bill could be attached to the Canadian reci procity bill as a rider. It soon de veloped, however, that the Democrats would not become a party to siu-h a acbeme. for they feared the President would make good bis threat and veto the Canadian bill. If amended. They voted to report the wool bill, because they wanted a chance to make a record on It. and because they feared the finance committee, except by order of the Senate, would not report the wool bill at the present session. This fear was well founded, as subsequent de velopments showed, for had not the Senate by an overwhelming vote directed that committee to report on or before July 10. the wool bill would have been pigeon-holed by chairman Penrose, with the sanction of a Repub lican majority of his committee, and the Senate would have been powerless to act on the wool schedule. And what Is said of the wool bill applies with equal force to the free-list bilL The Insurgent Senators who Joined with the Democrats to force the wool I bill and frce-ll.-t bill Into the Senate re now aware that they are the tail of the Democratic kite. But having en tered into a bad bargain, they will seek to make the most of it. and their present plan Is to undertake, with Democratic aid. to enlarge and expand the wool bill into a general tariff re vision blll.'and if'they can agree upon terms, pass it. and send It back to the House. Speaker Clark has virtually given assurance that such a bill. If it meets with general Democratic ap proval, even though It may fall short of what the Democrats would like, will be approved by the Honse. In that event. It would be sent to the President. While they have no assurance what ever that Is authentic, the Insurgents profess to believe that the President would have to sign such a bill. If it should be sent to him. or else Invite strong opposition and condemnation in the coming campaign. The Presi dent has admitted at different times that the Payne - Aldrlch bill. In some of Its provisions. .! Indefensible. He has particularly condemned the woolen schedule and the cotton schedule. Therefore, say the Insurgents, the President must approve a bill making reasonable reductions In the Payne-Aldrlch law. Put this belief Is not shared generally by other Re publicans or by Democrats. Rather, tlie opinion prevails that the President will veto any tarlfT legislation sent to him. ether than the Canadian bill, and give as his reason the lack of sci entific data (the report of the tariff board) on which to base this revision. Wool Revision Certain. On the other hand, if Congress ad journs after passing the Canadian bill, or after it finds it is Impossible to pass the wool bill and the free-list bill, the wool, bill ran be taken up by the Sen ate at the next regular session, after the report of the tariff board Is heard before Congress, and then If the Senate amends that bill to conform to the findings of the tariff board and the House concurs in the Senate ' amend ments, the President can sign that bill with a perfectly clear conscience, and thus ward off much of the criticism that might otherwise be directed at him. That the wool schedule will be revised at the next session. If not at this. Is certain, and that revision prob ably will precede the National conven tions of the two big parties. Then. If the wool bill receives the votes of the olid Republican majority (which It will not. or If enough Republicans "vote for it to pass it without the aid of the Democratic Senators, the Re publicans will have a tariff record on which to fare the country that will greatly handicap the Democrats In their present plans. But at the present moment the Dem ocrats of the Senate are alone pleased with the outlook. They feel that they have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Most of the Republicans are sore at the favorable prospect concern ing the Canadian reciprocity bill those who Intend to vote for It. as well as those who will oppose It and from the Republican point of view, the tariff situation is. t. put it mildly, most em barrassing. They fear that the Demo crats will gather the glory and the Republicans the blame. And that Is the Democratic view as welL ENFORCE LAWS MAYOR Otherwise Police Will Be Changed Each Week.

CISED IX IIOCSE. Henry Extends Mock Congratula tions That Diplomat Escaped Injury at Coronation. WASHINGTON. July 5. Lavish dis play by diplomats In foreign courts was described as debasing to the dignity of this Republic, "dollar diplomacy" was denounced aa a dangeroua thing, and American heiresses who have made In ternational alliances were assailed in speech In the House today by Repre sentative Henry of Texas. The speech was on a motion to take from committee a resolution calling on the Secretary of State for Information relative to the purchase of Kmbassy sites abroad. "We may congratulate ourselves, said Henry, "that when very recently two proud and over-opulent Ambassa dors entered into the ancient capital of England amid a veritable riot of vulgar display and extravagance of wealth, rushing headlong to the feet of royalty, no serious casualties actu ally occurred. "The most serious and corrupting as pect of the times Is the tendency of our great millionaires, still professing ad miration for our republican Institu tions, to shine in splendor as great noblemen in foreign courts. The world has been profoundly amused at the ex pense of this Nation by the so-called system of International marriages of the times secured by purchsse In re turn for high-sounding titles, acci dentally held by thin-blooded noble men."

Oldman. so he says, has al lowed them to throw trash of every de scription into the alley which sep arates his home from the T. M. C. A. building, and he has made no stren uous objection, but last night he lost his patience when they began bounding empty b'ee. bottles off the alley pave ment. "Suppose) they bounced one of those bottles off my head, where would I get off at, rather, what morgue slab would I get on?" exclaimed Oldman In ex plaining his position to the police to day.

WASHINGTON. July S. At a con ference of Senators participated In by Penrose and 6 moot. (Rap.) and Mar tina and Stone (Dm), it was de cided not to press dally for the fixing of a date to vote on the reciprocity so long as there are Senators pre pared to apeak. It was determined, however, to en deavor to fix the hour of convening. dally at 11 A. M. Instead of noon. Stone of Missouri. (Dem.). urged Chairman Penrose again to ask for a definite date for the vote. The con ference followed and Senator Penrose annoupced the change of plan. WASHINGTON, July 6. Senator Bur ton, of Ohio, with a prefatory explan ation that he "was not assuming to defend the Administration. becauso "the Administration needed no de fense," made a noteworthy speech In the Senate today In behalf of the Canadian reciprocity bill. Ho declared reeiproc? Ity was "the ultimate destiny of Can ada and the United States; that all natural conditions were opposed to the maintenance of border warfare In com mercial matters, and that the farmers of the United States would not suffer Injury from the enactment of the Can adian agreement." Senator Burton declared he came from a state widely Interested In agri culture, and that the reciprocity agree ment would not injure the farmers' Interests there. "In the early discussion there was an outcry In some quarters that the adoption of the agreement would re duce the profits of the farmers." said Senator Burton. Loss Is Counterbalanced. "While this claim Is still made in behalf of specific localities and cer tain products, the general ground of opposition has shifted, and It Is now maintained, not that the agreement will confer a present Injury upon the farmers, but that In the future It will lower the prices which they will re ceive. "What is this but a demand for in creased production of food products? How can an advocate of lower duties support such a proposition? This Na tion cannot maintain its position with out an abundant supply of the primary necessities of life, especially of the essential articles of food. "The Intention of this proposal for reciprocity Is not to reduce the price of articles sold by the farmer.- The slight loss to producers of particular articles and in specific localities Is overbalanced by the benefits which will be conferred upon the whole peo ple. Tariff on Necessities Protested. "I enter ury protest," said Senator Burton, ''against any policy which looks to the maintenance of duties on the most essential foods the bread and meat of the people when the present supply shall prove Insuffici ent. "The essential fact to be remembered In a discussion relating to this agree ment Is the similarity of conditions be tween the United States and Canada. The cost of labor is nearly the same in both countries. x "I am far from saying that tariffs should not be Imposed where there are essential differences In the scale of wages and cost of living, but these differences afford no barrier to this agreement. It would be unwise to hold out the prospect that any material change In the cost of living will be accomplished by this agreement." Senator Burton spoke strongly against amending the pending bill. He said It was based upon International agreement "which stands by Itself as a distinct proposition." Farm Prices Will Rise. In answer to the contention that the farmers of the country will suffer, Sen ator Burton said: "The demand for farm products Is Increasing so much more rapidly than the sapply that farmers' prices are sure to rise. The substantial advantage to the farmers of the United States from the tariff has not been derived from duties Imposed indirectly upon their products, but rather from the growth of enormous industrial population and the multitude of professional and other classes dependent - upon that popula tion." i CANADIANS ASK OPEN RIVER Navigation on Columbia to Revel- stoke, B.

POLICE GUARD CITY HALL Nationalist Councillors Telegraph to Ruler, Urging Him Not to Re ceive Lord Mayor Quorum for Vote Refused. DUBLIN, July 5. The controversy in the city corporation on the question of presenting an address to King George upon his approaching arrival In the Irish capital became more acute today at a special meeting called to consider the subject and to come to some final decision.
