THE TAB1FF DEBATE
?
"RULE, FIXING DATE OF VOTE ON
P ,THE MEASURE.
. . rt ..t "
THE TWE SET IS APRIL 10TH
Conditions Are That . the , Rule Pro
0' tacts-the Rill, it Js Said, from
Alt Amendments.
WASHINGTON; Following num
erous conferences held throughout
the day, Representative Dwight oi
New York, the republican "whip" in
the house, announced that the rules
committee would bring in a rule fix
ing the time for taking the final vote
on the tariff bill and restricting
amendments thereto, and that the
rale would be adopted. Mr. Dwight
made an unequivocal prediction of
victory.
The rule which will be brought in
Monday sets the day for a vote on
the tariff bill on April 10 and pro
tects the measure, it is said, from
all amendments except those recom
mended by the ways and means com
mittee, and those offered on the floor
of the house that will give an op
portunity for a vote on the question
of free lumber, protected barley and
protected hides.
It is reported that the majority of
the twenty-six or more republicans'
who met Saturday and drafted a pe
tition to the tariff framers asking
for protection on lumber, coal, iron
ore and hides, have been prevailed
upon not to oppose the Payne bill as
they threatened to do unless heed
was given to their demands. This
development today, it is said, makes
the adoption of the rule a practical
certainty and accounts for the con
fidence of Mr. Dwight in the success
of the rule. It is also said that the
dissatisfied republicans have re
ceived assurances that interests in
which they are particularly interest
ed will be given careful attention
when the bill reaches the senate.
Chairman Payne of the ways and
means committee, Representatives
Dalzell and Dwight and other house
leaders had a conference with Pres
ident Taft. during which the presi
dent is said to have expressed ap
proval of the tariff program as out
lined by the ways and means com
mittee. The rule will have the effect of
shutting off general debate automat
ically and from the time of its adop
tion until the bill is submitted to a
vote discussion of the tariff will pro
ceed under the five-minute rule.
The senate will have nothing before
it except the census bill until the
tariff bill comes over from the
house and is reported by the com
mittee on finance.

in What
.3 He Will Do.

ing the governor to stand firm with

nents of the measure talked earnest
ly in support of their views. Many

tor Thomas Majors of Peru as one of
the members of the board. Senator
Ransom does not often agree to the
appointment of a republican to any
office, but then he took the side of
the senator from Nemaha and argued
that the fact that Colonel Majors was
honored with a seat in the senate was
no reason" why he should not be a
member of the board. For nearly an
hour the senators sat behind closed
dcors while they discussed the merits
of the appointees of the governor and
argued on the constitutionality of the
choice of the senator from Peru.
A number of the scntaors declined
to vote when the question of the con
firming of the appointments were
arked, but enough voted to approve
the appointees named by the governor.
The members of the board as chosen
and the years in which their terms
will end follows: W. H. Green,
Creighton. 1910; N. M. Graham, South
Omaha. 1911; E. L. Adams. Minden.
1912; Frederic Nye. 1913, and Thomas
Majors, Peru. 1914.
Net Weight Bill Was Approved.
Despite the opposition that met the
interpretation of tbe pure food act
t'i;ring tbe Sheldon administration the
democratic legislature practically sus
L'tined this in accepting the report of
th conference committee on the net
weight clause which was added to
the Smith peroxide bill by the senate.
As the senate amended the bill most
of the staple articles of food must be
branded with the net- weight when put
up in package form. The conference
com mi t tee decided to cut out meat
iroducts, excepting lard and cottolene
or other products used for similar pur-
puses, canned corn and fruit was re
moved because of the importance of
ti;e canning industry in the state and
the fear that a drastic branging meas
ure might materially hamper these
fartcries. The committee was not
united on the proposition of removing
the branding clause in regard to meat,
but a majority of the committee fav
ored the idea and it was so reported.
Gerdes, chairman of the house con
ference committee, in offering the re
port said that it was the best that
could be done. Taking him at his
uord the house accepted the report
without a dissenting voice.
Early Closing Bill Passes.
The closing hours of the Thirty-first
session of the Nebraska legislature
were dramatic enough. Tbe Wilson
bill for a daylight saloon measure for
ail the state played the entire game
of Friday afternoon overshadowing
everything else in the house and of
interest supreme in the senile. Appro
priation bills and conference reports
dwindled into insignificance compared
to the scarce that had been thrown
into the liquor element in the house
by the lining up of several members
who have stood with them all through
the session and these recalcitrant
members going over to the restriction
element in sufficient numbers to pass
a bill requiring for the entire state
a law making the open hours for sa
loons 7 a. m. to S p. m. The bill passed
the house after that body was tied
up for more than an hour by a vote
of 51 to :JS. It passed the senate by
a vote of 19 to 1 and goes to the
governor. The bill is S. F. No. 28.1,
bearing. the name of Senator Wiltse
of Cedar.
Partial Victory for Stock Yards.
The physical valuation hill lias
passed the house, having acceded to a
compromise which met with the ap
proval of the senate. As the bill now
s'ands railroads carrying passengers
or freight, telephone, telegraph and
express companies and "railroad
transportation of stock yards," come
within the provisions of the measure.
This represents a partial victory for
both the Taylor and the Ransom
lo'ces. The valuation will extend only
ti the stock yards railroads.
State Fair Building Cut to Half of the
! Original Amount.
The important work of the senate
during Friday afternoon was an agree
ment itpou the general appropriations
bill. The joint conference committee
; report was concurred in by the senate
and albo by the house.
The 100,000 for a live .stock col
iseum on the state fair grounds was
cut to ."0,000. The tair board will
accept this and will put in some mon
ey of its own and start the building.
If this does not make enough to com
plete a good building the next legis
lature will be asked to give more.
Double Shift Bill Is Dead.
In the sweeping resolution of the
senate to postpone all bills that had
not been taken from the general file
by the sifting committee, the hi!! for
'he double shift law for all firemen in
L.ncom was Kinett. An attempt to
revive the bill on snecial order Fri-:
day was in vain, and the firemen will
have to work 24 hours a day for at
kast two years.
A limit of 12 hours service was
r laced on the requirements that the
r:iy might make of its Bremen, except
in case of special disasters.

Laundry woric at home would b6
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces
sary to use so much starch, that tbe
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
bidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance,abut also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou
ble can be entirely overcome byusing
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
