That the government's taxing pow-'

DIPLOMATS' MADE
SanrnmPTito. Calif.., ADril 26. That
the visit of Secretary of State Bry
an, who arrives here Monday,, is . mam
ly a diplomatic move to assure Japan
that her interests will be looked after
carefully, is the general beliei nere
tnnis-ht. Although it is concluded
that the nremier ct th federal cabi
net will undoubtedly effect changes
in the character of the pending anti

the primary effect of his trip will

l,,j.fcj.n.w- - v ----- .
secretary's vitit at length.
Assemblyman' Stanley Beredicti,
progressive leader of the Los Angeles
delegation said:
"Of course Bryan's , coming i3 not
only to show Tokio that her interests
are being carefully watched by the
Federal government, but that Presi
dent Wilson, has in this connection,
broken all precedents : in sending .the
secretary of state to confer with a
state legislature."
"Bryan's visit will result in con
fusion, predicted assemblyman George
B. Finngari. "I anticipate that ad
lournnient will he -rushed and that
there is a growing plan ''in certain
quarters to blame Bryan's visit for
muddling legislative acticn generally,
and.. to ascribe to this turn of affairs
failure of certain big bills to pass. I
am convinced that the Panama-Pacific
Exposition -directors are respon
sible for nine tenths of the agitation
to curb aiiti-alien legislation; I know
the fair people have been flooding
Washington with telegrams of protest.".-
Assemblymen L. B. Leary (demo
crats is confident that Bryan's com
ing is "not an effort of the president
to muzzle California." He said:
"It will have the effect, I believe,
of toning down the more -rabid senti-
vr-Tt onri rmrtina' dlSCUSSion Oil a
calm level of reason. I have detected
no disposition to 'crawfish on tins

"If vhe president intended , en

declared .aeeemblyman Hugh Bradford
of Sacramento, "he would have used
'Big Stick ' methods, instead of send
ing Bryan" here. -
Representative Berinett, perhaps
the Tmost influential administration
leader . in the lower house, scoffed
at the idea that Bryan's visit will
materially change anti-alien plans.

"Removal of. the tax on raw wool
in this bill," he said, "will enable finer;
foreign wool to come in, give a selec-!
tion. to the manufacturer for the, in-,
creased output- of clothing, with
cheaper clothes . for the country, ' and
give more employment to labor. . -
"We're not here to destroy the
sheep industry. And we're not here
to build it . up. What peculiar right
has the sheep 'baron' to a tax upon,
the people? Compared with produc-,
tion of other great agricultural pro-j
ducts wool growing is one of the least!
important in the country." ' ;
"No tariff baron dictated what
should go in thfe bill," Representative
Heflin, democrat, of Alabama, de-'
clared. .
"The, small remnants of . progres
sives have denounced the democratic
secret tariff caucus. They held theirs,
open. Why not? They have nothing
left to caucus about. The republicans
have nothing to discuss except to!
plead guilty to deceiving the people.
"The people will judge what we
do and not what we say when we'
set out to do it."
Heflin said the progressives and re
publicans moved alike "when they
heard the pop of the whip of the tar
iff baron."
"Here they sit in this house," ne
said, ' hand in hand together, obey
ing the will of the tariff lurons, one
recommending tariff revision by a
'bord' and the other by a 'commis
sion.' That's a wide gulf between
them. No tariff board will ever have
the right in this country to levy tax
es on the people, usurping the func
tions - of congress."

General McReynolds today told the su
preme court that an extension of time
to July 1st for dissolving the Union
Pacific-Southern Pacific merger ea:ht
be greatly to the public intere If, but

stated in a brief in reply to the request
of the Union Pacific attorneys for
modification of the mandate, so as to
authorize the lower court to extend
the time for submission of a plan of
dissolution."
"This case has been, before courts-
for more than five years and the public
is entitled to early relief in harmony
with the provision of the statute which
declares that such cases shall be given
precedent oyer others and in every.
way expedited," the brief states.
