CUMMINS FEARS SORRY TIMES IF
RECIPROCITY PASSES
NOT FAIR FOR THE FARMER
Politically Inexpedient and Improp
erly Drawn as a Tariff Law
Disputes a Claim of
Inconsistency
Washington D C Senator Cum
tains continued his arguments against
Canadian reciprocity to the senate
but did not conclude He attacked
the measure from the standpoint not
only of its alleged injustice and polit
ical inexpediency but on the ground
that it was not properly drawn as a
tariff law If passed in its present
form Senator Cummins said the
agreement would give Canada the op
tion of recognizing one half of it with
out accepting it all
Senator Cummins said the passage
of the bill would be followed by a
storm of disapproval against which
the republican party could not stand
He declared it would be accepted by
the agricultural interests as notice
that congress had determined that
they were not entitled to the same
consideration that is given to the
other producers of the land
No self respecting nation can ac
cept without qualification the Cana
dian agreement in the text form pro
posed to us declared the senator
Senator Cummins declared he believed
in tariff revision but mark my
words he said the people of this
country In their own judgment will
know who ie responsible for putting
the farmer Into free and unlimited
competition in what he sells while
Btill protecting the things that he
buys t

the agreement and critical of the
president and his methods The sen
ate gave but partial attention to the
speeches although they were amonp
the most important that will be madfi
against the bill Several times a call
of the senate was demanded Senator
Nelson of Minnesota finally proposed
that as so little attention was given
to the subject the senate take a re
cess until November or December
Senator Cummins attacked not only
the construction of the reciprocits
agreement itself which he said put
the whole burden of free trade upon
the farmer without giving him any
benefits in the guise of reducton of
duty on manufactured products but
he also criticised the power exercised
by the president to negotiate it and
to bring it to the point of a definite
agreement between the two countries

PENROSE LACKS FOLLOWING
Members Caught Napping and Meas
ure Permitted to Drift to Stage
of Reporting But Permit
ted to Go Back
Washington D C The tension that
exists in the senate over the reci
procity measure was emphasized by
incidents that occurred in the con
fused proceedings of Tuesday The
session began with an unsuccessful
attempt by Chairman Penrose of the
finance committee to secure an agree
ment for a vote on reciprocity July
24 on the wool bill July 26 and free
list bill July 28 Friends of reciproc
ity will insist on coupling all three
measures in any agreement to vote
After refusing to permit such an
agreement the opponents of the reci
procity bill allowed that measure to
advance one important parliamentary
step before they realized what had
happened For a quarter of an hour
the senate was in executive session
At its conclusion no one being ready
to speak on the measure and follow
ing the parliamentary custom of that
body Vice President Sherman an
nounced that the bill would be re
ported from the committee of the
whole to the senate
The bill actually passed through all
the stages of being reported to the
senate before members realized what
was going on While under considera
tion in the committee of the whole the
measure could be amended but could
not be voted upon In the senate it
could be brought to a final vote at
any tinie Senators Nelson Bristow
Clapp and Bailey joined in the protest
that arose when it was found what
had happened to the bill

ROOT AMENDMENT DEFEATED
Vserdict So Pronounced That No
Roll Call Is Demanded Vitri
olic Attack Is Made on
Whole Measure
Washington The Canadian reci
procity bill emerged from its first or
deal in the senate unscathed The
Root Miendment proposing a modifi
cation of the wood pulp ana print
paper section of the management was
defeated after seven hours of debate
by an overwhelming vote The friends
of the amendment were so satisfied oi
its defeat that a roll call was not de
manded This leaves the reciprocity
measure open to the general fight that
is to follow for amendment of impor
tant revisions of the Payne tariff law
Senator La Follette announced that
he would give the senate a chance to
pass on general tariff amendments
for free paper for free lumber and
lumber products and reductions in
other schedules Senator Clapp also
announced his intention of offering a
free paper amendment later and other
senators gave evidence of their pur
pose to force consideration of tariff
revision of the widest plane
Attack on the Root amendment was
interspersed with attacks on the whole
reciprocity measure in the debate
which resulted in the defeat of Sena
tor Roots proposal to change the
house bill by requiring that all Can
adian provinces should remove their
export restrictions on pulp wood and
its products before the reciprocal fea
tures of the wood pulp and paper sec
tion of the agreement went into effect
