UXOW AD SLEET HEI.Pg ASPHALT All it are I nrfer Foe Mlahty Good for Pavements, says Flyaa. While the mixture ot sleet, lea and snow fit the streets of the city of Omaha may not be very pleasant for pedestrians, still, In the opinion j ff Street Commissioner Flynn, It Is a "mighty good thing for the pavements." The asphalt la saved much wear and tear, says the commissioner, and If the weather of today would last forever there would! be no used" ot repair work done on them. "If you would pasta-brown paper on the sole of your shoes' they would last much longer, wouldn't they?" says Mr. Flynn. "On the same principle, then, the 'pasting' of this coating of sleet on the pavements will make them wear longer." On account of the sleet being froicn to the pavement it would be impossible for the street force to remove It, and tjie commissioner Is fur tilKhed an excuse fur saving his appropria tion until summer and dust comes.

Look 25o NO TARIFF COMMISSION NOW Eerinon Delegation Call Upon Cannon and Chairman Payne. ACTION PROBABLE NEXT YEAR Cnaarreaslonal Leaders Sag Plan Impracticable and That Matter la villi Be Taken Vp Seat Year. WASHINGTON, Feb. &.-Thf present congress will not appoint a tariff commis sion. A revision of the tariff will be un dertaken next winter In the short term. These announcements, In substance, were made today by Chairman Payne of the house committee on Ways and means, In the presence and with the tacit ap proval of Speaker Cannon, the occasion being a call upon thosa leaders by a tariff revision delegation from various parts of the country, comprising repre sentatives of many of the biggest manu facturing and industrial concerns In the United States and headed by James W. Van Cleave of St. Louis, president of the National Association et Manufacturers. Former Governor J. N. Batchelder of New Hampshire and H. E. Miles of Ra cine, Wis., chairman of the tariff com mitted of the National Association of Manufacturers. The delegation spent more than an hour presenting Its case and listening to replies by the two foremost republican leaders In the house, who, while they were cordially couched, were practically a refusal of all that the delegation had Journeyed to Washington to plead for. Ara-nment of Van Cleave. In Introducing the subject of the ap pointment of a tariff commission. In line with the Beveridg bill recently offered In the senate, Mr. Van Cleave said the delegation was unanimous In tho belief that the matter of the tariff can best, be handled by the passage of a hard headed "business bill-' which would so aniend the tariff schedules as lo encourage the development of foreign commerce by the producers of the t'ntted Slates without at the same time exposing their goods to the reactionary effect of free trade. He said it was the firm belief of the vast Interests represented by the members of the delegation that a wholesome revision of the tariff could be best gotten at by a commission appointed to ascertain the costs of domestic production, the relative profits derivable from 1iome and foreign sales and alt the multitudinous facts ap pertaining to so complex and Important a subject. x , "We want," he said, "and we believe we can truthfully state to you that the whole country wants, a sound and- rational business consideration of the subject, and we believe after long and earnest study of the situation that the suggestion of the appointment of a tariff commission to stand between us and you, to receive and weigh and formulate the mass of technical Information we have to offer and to then present It to congress in compact and In telllgel shape, embodies the best means of arriving at that result." Several other speakers talked along these lines. Speaker Cannon, Interrupting one of them, asked: "Do I understand that you favor on the part of the United States an even tariff with every other country in the world, ex cept thnt we shall enforce our maximum tariff against such countries as discriminate against our exports that you favor a min imum and maximum tariff with that ap plication?" The answer was strongly affirmative. "Theh," snld tho speaker, "I am glad to hear your 'medicine, for that Is precisely the kind of tariff I believe In myself." Speech of Mr. Cannon. In his general answer to the statements of the delegation, Mr. Cannon spoke In part as'follows: You say the tariff ought to be revised. You have virtually said that It ought lo have been revised the day It was enacted that It was wrong In the beginning. Well, It was not perfect and It is not perfect now. Protection, gentlemen Is with God, not with humanity and as our SO.OOO.miu of i people constitute sovereignty In this country and can only exercise that sov ereignty et the ballot box they divide us Into a majority and minority, so that when you come lo enact legislation some party has always been and always will be at least for a generation and some times for longer responsible for that legislation and the other party will occupy the standpoint of criticism. That Is ae It should bu. And now that the underbrush is cleared away, as It were, let's getMo thetpoint. Let me suggest that should the house pass such a tarlf commission bill as you ask for, there is no certainty of what the senate would do. In the senate there Is no "previous question." There three senators can by virtue of their right toan unlimited oc cupancy of tho floor hold up any measure for as long as two years without possi bility of prevention. We once, I remember, had a tariff com mission. And I am told that lt report was so voluminous that It was never even read. It Is one thing to make sugges tions; It is another thing to enact those suggestions into law and take the conse quences if you make a mistake. "The national conventions," continued. Speaker Cannon, "may determine that tho ncx congress shall revise the tariff for it goes' without saying that the policies to be enunciated by those conventions will be the policies governing the two parties, and if the democrats should be entrusted with the power we know the tariff will be' revised and If with the republicans remains the majority Iwa know the power to revise will be In the next congress vested. But let me ask you frankly: In this present time of financial depression and liquidation, hw faor in the hands of a partisan 'commission would a tariff Investigation progress toward accomplish ment?" Mr. Payne Is Emphatic. Mr. Cannon then in giving way to Repre sentative Payne, commended the chair man of the ways and means committee as one who "knows aa much about tariff schedules and all the facts underlying them as any man in the United States" Mr. Payne made his position clear at once by appealing to the delegation to see the unwisdom of the appointment of a necessarily "partisan tariff commission as proposed In the Beverldge bill" at the heels of a financial panic and on the eve of u pretitdentlul campaign. You would not ask a committee of congress to un dertake a tariff revision at such a time," he said, "yet how much more disturbing it will be to a commission holding public hearings on the tariff at this time." He continued. My position la that when It shall be best for the interests of the A in r Iran people to undertake a revision of the tariff, that Is the time when 1 shall favor a revision and 1 should urge a minimum and maximum tariff coupled with trm ex isting law, empowering the United States' lo make trade agreements with oilier countries;' and I would follow France, Germany and Russia in the provlakgi that the minimum tariff should afford a fair protection to home products. I think the signs of the times are thai next winter the congress will undertake a revision of the' tarilf. Shall we get our working Information at first hand from the producers themselves, or shall we content ourselves with getting It second hand from a body ot men appointed as a tariff investigation commission T 'rom what I have seen of the formation of tariff bills, and I have been eighteen years a member of the ways and means committee and for the lam nine years Its chairman.. 1 should by sll means seek it at first hand. You cannot ronvlnce me, gentlemen, of the ted. mi of appointing such a commission at thla session, t'ouslna to Hetlre. CEDAR RAPIDS. Ia., Feb. t.J-In a letter made public her tonight Hon. Robert G.
