La Pollette urged a tariff which would take into consideration the| difference in the cost of production Between this and competing coun- tries. He said in part } “When it came to making the) 1909 tariff, competition between the protected industries—that corollary of protection which Hamilton Clay, Blaine and McKinley had sald | would save the people from monop- oly—that competition had been wiped out by consolidation, agree ment and combination. We faced anew problem. And the difference between the views of the progres: gives and standpatters on the tariff | question lies exactly bere. The progressives see a vast revolution ot economic conditions, they recog- nize the fact that radical changes are needed in tariff revision. But the standpatters refuse to recognize | changed conditions, and they be- Neve that it is more important to; keep up profits for the combined | manufacturers than to keep down prices. "That passage of the Payne bill was the most outrageous assault | upon the people by private interests ever recorded in tariff thstory.” Threatened, He Says That he was intimidated by threats of violence is the allegation made by William Gibbardt, former secretary of the Queen City Lumber company, against R. H. McMullen, whom he charges with having thus secured $54,000 worth of property from him. He says he was com- pelled to sign over 250 shares of stock in the company and $5,000 worth of property at Gilman Park. MeMuillen gave Gibbardt in return. so the complaint alleges, a release | from indebtedness to the company, Gilbardt, however, claiming that he @id not owe the company anything.

Haight of the charter revision con mittee and Councilman Blaine to make the Bogue plans partly or entirely advisory only, were voted down at the meeting of the coun cil in committee of the whole yesterday. Counciiman Griffiths op- posed such @ course, contending that the Bogue plans were meant for more than mere advisory purposes. Griffiths’ plan to make the president of the councll mayor by the mere election of the council members was rejected. Council man Kellogg's proposed charter amendment to remove the mayor's veto power was passed by a 5-to-4 vot Besides the Erickson single tax bill and Kellogs’s anti-veto prop osition, sever other amendments, approved by the city council, will Ko before the people. These are ‘The establishment of a board of public welfare, consisting of seven members, serving without pay, to have charge of all penal and public institutions in the city, including the eity jail The establishment of an official city newspaper. To require the finance committee of the council to examine an nually the books of comptroller and treasurer. To exempt from taxation manufacturing establishments for 10 years from the time they start in business. This amendment was submitted by the Chamber of Commerce, the argument being ad vanced that it will encourage big enterprises to locate here. While it is believed that the amendment is illegal, efforts will be made, should it carry, to have it validated by the next legislature.
