Having completed the consideration of Items of the tariff bill that had been passed over under objection by Senators during Its second reading, the Senate by its ad journment today until Monday, marked an important period in the progress of the measure. When the bill is again taken up. it will be upon its third read ing for the final disposition of items upon which the most pronounced objec tions have been made. In completing the second reading of the bill, a number of items in the free list were disposed of. Works of art over 20 years old. and collections il lustrating the progress of art over 100 years old. were retained in the free Hat by a vote of 53 to 15. This amendment will permit the great art collection made by J. Plerpont Mor gan at an expenditure of manv millions of dollars and now stored in London to be brought here. The starch industry received protec tion by n reversal of the recommenda tions made hy the committee and tapio ca and sago will be subject to a duty of one cent a pound, when not Imported for food. Crude potash, potash carbonate, cau stic potasti, yams, and radium were placed upon the free list. Overman clia ra cterized the bill as one of the most iniquitous tarlfr bills ever passed by Congress if it is passed. Overman favored Bailey's Income tax amendment. and declared he would offer an amendment for a head tax on immigrants and an amendment empowering the President to abrogate the collection of duties on articles similar to those maintained t-y corporations which control 50 per GRADUATES I0) Howard ConiMtot-fc t'harlton. cent of the American output and which offer their jcoods for sale in foreign countries at lower prices than in the Vnited States. POWER FIGHT IMMINENT Krtlllneer Puts Vtor Klplu Problem Vp to t'tniRross. OREGONLVX NEWS BIREAU. Wash ington. June 12. Unless all signs fal. there will be a lively contest In Congress next Winter over legislation which will be proposed to authorize some system of Government control of water-power sites on public lands. The defunct Conserva tion Commission, which came into exist ence late In the Roosevelt Adminlstra ion. recommended that all such power sites be withdrawn from entry and be held permanently by the Government, to be leased for a given period to private in terests desiring to develop power. In accordance with the recommendation of that commission. Secretary Garfield -vlth-drew from entry several million acies of public land lying along the streams of the Western States, on the assumption that regulations would be Issued author izing him or seme other Government of ficial to lease these sites at rates to be arbitrarily fixed. When there was a change of admin istration, Mr. Garfield's successor scanned the statute books and failed to And any authority for leasing power sites, and the COMMIT HID AAA-A-v r'A xiT" I I - vA ! X 1 " ! Viw f IlfA ----JfeA ' i J" ix I 'vTJT if ' RA I ; AA- " if4- 'xfi& I fiA 1 1 jcl - f 'i A -1 1 1 &Jt dream of the conservationists "was blocked so far as the unreserved public domain was concerned. There was "nothina: doing" in the way of regulations fixing a rate to be charged for the use of power sites. Moreover, when Secretary Ballinger probed into the matter, he found that more than a million acres of the withdrawn land had been set aside without the slightest evidence that they contained available power sites. When ever such withdrawals were encountered, the order of withdrawal was vacated and the land restored to entry. Mr. Ballinger then proceeded to take up this power question in accordance with the law, and ordered the Geological Survey to make examinations and de termine just where water-power sites are located. In instances where there are no filings, but where it may seem advis able, he may later order temporary with drawals and put up to Congress the ques tion of whether or not it is the purpose to lease such sites. If Congress decides in favor of the leasing system and enacts a law to that effect, it will be expected to order the permanent withdrawal of all public land on which is located valuable water-power sites. If. on the other hand. Congress turhs down the leasing proposition, the temporary withdrawals will be revoked and the land restored to entry. There Is now authority for making temporary withdrawals in the public interest, but there is no law authorizing the perma nent withdrawal from entry of lands chiefly valuable for their water-power. It has developed that many men in Congress do not think much of the con servation policy, or at least of some of its phases. These men will probably oppose any legislation looking to the leas ing of water-power sites. Such men be lieve that the remaining power sites should be disposed of as have others in the past. On the other hand, a very large element In Congress believes that there should be legislation substantiating the recommendations of the Conservation Commission. The fight over this ques tion will be long and probably bitter, and may assume such proportions that no legislation can be secured in a single session of Congress.
