TARTFF REVISION
BILL HAS PASSED
BURST OF APPLAUSE SWEEPS
: DOWN FROM GALLERIES.
LaFollette and Poindexter
Vote With Democrats for
the Tariff Measure.
Tba demooratio tariff revision bill
passed the senate at 5:43 Tuesday af
ternoon amid a bnrst of applause that
swept down from crowded galleries
and fonnd its eobo on tbe crowded
floor of tbe senate. Its passage was
attended with surprises in tbe final
moments of tbe voting wiien Senator
LaFollette, republican, oast bis vote
witb tbe democrats and was joined a
few moments later by Senator Poio
dexter,: progressive.
Xbe democrats had counted through
out the loDg tariff fight upon losing
the votes of Senators Bausdell and
Thornton, . of Louisiana', demoorats,
who voted against the bill beoanse it
would put sugar on the free list. .:
Until, tbe names of Senators La
Follette and Poindexter actually were
called, however, no one knew definite
ly tbe stand they would take and their
rotes were greeted with enthusiastic
applause.
In tbe closing hours of tbe debate
Senator LaFollette bad been tbe cen
ter 1 of interest. He proposed - final
amendments in the cotton, and agri
culture sohedoles and discussed some
features of tbe bill, which he deemed
fa voi able.
It was nearly 5:30 when the viae
president pat the bill upon its passage.
Senator Ashurst, first on tbe roll,
shouted londly "aye," and tbe roll
oall prooeeded deliberately nntil tbe
olerk called LaFollette."' The Wis
consin senator,-seated in the front
row, hesitated a moment. Bis tead
was bowed and resting on bis band.
Be leaned forward a trifle and vigor
ously answered "aye."
Instantly tbe applanse broke from
tbe galleries and senators on tbe
demooratio side joined in enthusiastic
band-dapping, netrly every democrat
on the floor participating in the brief
but vigorous demonstration. When
tbe name of Seoator Poindexter, tbe
only progressive senator, was reaobed
and be contributed bis vote for Ibe
bill tbe applause was renewed.
After the vote Senator LaFollette
said: .
. "I realize what I did was a political
saoiiOae, but that within me com
pelled me to vote for tbe till. Tbe
tariff act of 1909 was but little ehoit
of a crime; tbe bill passed today is
not a demooratio measure but is a
protective measure. Every change
made by the finanoe oommittee was
made ty way of adjustment to a pro
tective basis, except such as free wool
and free sugar which were determined
from the outside."
Senator Poindexter said of his vote:
"I voted for tbe senate tariff bill
because it is as a whole a better bill
than tbe Payne-Aldrioh law, now in
force. Furthermore it contains an
income tax wbioh we have been try
ing to get for twenty years.
'Some of its rates are too low but
its general average on manufacturers
is high enough. Its classification is
far from soientiflo but not more so
than tbe existing law,"
As it passed the senate, tba tariff
bill represents an average reduotion of
more than fonr per cent from tbe
rates of the original bill that passed
the bouse and nearly 28 pec oent from
tbe rates of existing laws.

AXLROAD traffic of the present day Is a far cry from tue lnconvenrences
and the danger of a decade ago. Today every big railroad system
adopts sooner or later not only all that makes for the comfort of the
travelers, but the newest and best ways of minimizing accidents. These
Interesting pictures show what tbe Pennsylvania railroad has done in two par
ticulars for the greater safety of the public. A fire test of a steel passenger
coach showed that the flames merely scorched tbe pnlnt and burned the cusb
Ions. It is claimed that In case of a wreck there Is little danger of Ore. The
evolution of the steel car from the old wooden tinderbox Is not more wonder
ful, however, than Is the strides made in signal safety devices. For Instance,
one of thesa pictures shotra the signals In front of the drawbridge over a river
near New York If the draw should be open and the engineer not stop these
eutunintlc signals would derail the train a afe distance from the river.
WASHINGTON BOARD STARTS
ON HONOR SYSTEM.
Convicts Leave Prision Yes
terday Eager for Work on
Public Highways.
The first honor canin men left the
Walla Walla state prison Monday and
on their arrival at Hood's, canal tbe
first honor camp in tbe state was es
tablished. Herman W. Ross of tbe board of
oontiol will join tbe men and spend
tbe first two days witb them assisting
in establishing the camp, as be is
keenly interested in the idea ofj tbe
bouor ivstem.
Be ia anxious to leave no aot undone
that might serve to increase tbe prob
ability of tbe suooess of tbe undertak
ing, as be sees great possibilities in
tbe idea if it is proven practicable as
he is oooQdent that it will.
"If this trial, the first in the history
of the state, proves a success, it will
mark the beginning of a new era in
tbe handling of tbe state's ohargea,"
said t Mr. Boss when disoussiug tbe
matter. "If it is soooessfal as we
hope it will prove, there is the ulti
mate possibility that some time the
state will have 200 honor men doiug
the bulk of tbe work on state roads,
benefitting themselves and the state.
While the economic feature is of con
siderable importanoe, it is inoompara
tie to the other feature, of giving tbe
men a ohanoe to make good."
Most of the men obosen to leave tbe
penitentiary and take up honor oamp
life end piok and shovel work on the
Olympio highway on tbe Bood canal,
accepted tbe ohanoe eagerly.

LANES AMENDMENT CARRIES IN
SENATE AT LAST. .
.Will Allow Waste Material
on Farms of Northwest to
Be Utilized Now.
The senate today agreed to inolude
Senator Lane's provision for allowing
farmers to manufacture treir own
denatured aloohol.
Senator Lane was muoh gratified
ever this aotion as be believes if will
meet witb favor and be greatly bene
floial to the farmers, not only of his
own state, tut of those otatea where
there is muob waste products such as
fruits and vegetables.
Tbe Lane amendment makes it pos
sible for a farmer to ereot a still and
manufacture bis own aloobol without
going through a mass of red tape. It
is thought tbat tbe manufacture ot
this obeap fuel will revolutionize the
auto industry as well as many others
in wblob tbe cost of fnel has muob to
do witb tbe ultimate oost to tbe consumer.
