Taft in Favor of Tariff Bureau to Furnish Him Data President Would Have Present Ses- sion Create Board to Aid in Applying Payne Bill. WASHINGTON, March 31 — President Taft today declared himeelf In favor of & tariff bureau to be created at this session of congress. He belleves that such = bureau would be of great assistance to him in the application of the max{mum and minimum principle of the Payne bill in the negotiation of foreign trade agresments, as well as in furnishing detaled informa- tion to congress and to the White House on various tariff questions as they arise. The' president's announcement was made to the executive committes of the commit- tee of 100 cremted by the national tariff convention recently held in Indianapolis. Thiz committee, consisted of H. B. Miles, chairman; Henry R. Towne of New York and D. A. Tompkins of Charlotte, N.'C., called at the White House today to lay before the president the views of the tariff convention and to recommend a per- manent tariftf committee. The members of the executive committee agree with the president that it is neces- sary for congress to provide a commission or bureau for the ald of the executive and legislative departments of the government and they will use thelr influence as far as possible to secure legislation on the subject at this session of congress Mirs. -Boyle Bound Over to Grand Jury Woman in Kidnaping Case Enters Plea of Not Guilty to Charge.

NO PARTY MEN FOR JUDGES| Senate Agrees to the Homse Bill for the Purchase of the Wayne Normal Scheol for Use of the State. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, March 81.—(Special)--1t 18 evident that Robert Beecher Howell ac- tually believes that some day the Water board of Omaha will take over the water plant there for the city or he has an idea in his head that Omaha will some day own its own water works plant. This is based on the fact that the former senator is anxious for the passage of 8. F. 38, by Donohoe of Holt, which has passed the senate and which is now :n the hands of the sifting committee. The bill provides that every city or vil- lage which owns its own water plant may levy a tax agalnst every lot in front of which water mains have been laid. This tax Is to be known as the frontage water tax, and it cannot be more than 2% cents per front foot. Before the tax is levied the city council or other board having charge of the matter shall make the fact public and give the property owner an opportunity to pro- test. The tax shall be a lien_on the prop- erty. The Il was sent to Senator Donohoe by Harvey Newbranch of the World-Herald, and given him, as was sald at the time, because he had not any hope the senators from Douglas county could get it through for him. Open Primary Bill Pases. It is now up to Governor Shallenberger to say whether he is willing for the polit- feal parties of Nebraska to be disrupted or at the mercy of persons who refuse to make known their political affiliations The Ollis primary bill which provides that any voters may participate in a primary and be permiited to vote for the ticket he desires regardiess of his own party affilia- tions passed the house this morning. It: had already passed the senate. Had the bill now up to the governor been in effect last year It might have been Mayor Dahlman instead of Governor Shal- lénberger ‘in the executive chair, for, the mayor might have been able to secure a big republican vote in Omaha which would have offset the populist and democratic votes Shallenberger received out In the state. As Governor Sheldon had no oppo- sition it was not necessary for many re- publicans to vote for him to make the nom- ination. Nettleton of (May, who two years ago ad- vocated the open primary, announced on the floor of the house that he realized he had made a mistake two years ago on that proposition and he warned the democrats they would regret it if the bill became a law. It was pointed out that where there was only one candidate for an office, it would be an easy matter for members of a different political party to go in and nominate for the opponents a weak man. | But this had no effect. Net Welght on Packames. The senate disagreed wiih the house over net welghts and amended the bill by Smith of Cass which the house sent over so worded as 1o conform to the branding sec- | tion of the national pure food law. Sen- ator King made a hard fight to secure the amendment_and on the final roll call, on a motion by Tanner to leave the bill as the | house fixed it up, the proposition to com- pel net weight branding carried, 2L to 11 | The amended bill provides goods are mis- branded if sold for use in Nebraska in package form, if every such package as provided and named below does not bear & correct statement clearly printed on the outside of the main label of the contents and also of the net welght or measure of the contents, exclusive of the container, viz: all dairy products, meat and m--al[ products, wheat products, oat products and corn products. and mixtures, prepared or | unprepared, sugar, syrup and molasses, tea, coffee, canned, drled and preserved fruit. Provided, however, that the provision shall not apply to packages put up by the re- tatler nor to packages on hand by a retailsr at the time of taking effect of this act.” The amendment was opposed by Sen tors Tibbetts, Ransom and Howell, who showed that the proposed requirements went further than even Joe Johnson had gone In his edicts as to fopd commissioner. The section of the bill permitting bieached flour was unchanged.

The resolution is Interded to counteract in public opinion the bills which from time to time wre introduced for the purpose of limiting the congressional representation from the south because of the curtaliment there of the franchise privileges of the negroes. It is claimed congress has the right to make such curtallment under the provision in question and Mr. Money’s pro- pasition is intended to show that the amendment itself came into existence by to Money Attacks Vaiidity of the Fourte@nt’h Amendment unconstitutional methods. In his preamble he asserts that the journals of the senate and house of the Thirty-nintk and Fortieth congresses show that there was neither a two-thirds vote of the two houses for adoption, nor & three-fourths vote of the states in ratifiea- tion of the congressional action, as re- Quired by the constitution. This defeet, if such It proves to be, was of course due to the fact that the southern states were not, on mcccunt of the rebellion, at that time Acting as a part of the union, and if the question should g0 to the court its adjudi- cation would involve the determination of the point whether the absence of the rep- resentatives of some of the states from congress on Account of the sscession of the States had the effect of abroguting the re- Quirement of the constitution and the same point would arise in determining the ques- Uon of ratification. i MORNING, 7% ///////////// VENCE FOR KEEPWNG g&\(_fl.h\ QUT OF T8 MNSTARD 5 e, praviaisl APRIL 1, 1909—TWELVE PAGES.
