CHQMICAL SCHEDULE CLOSED.
X. - - I r-r - .
Bill Will Suffer Little Change From
; One. Passed Last Year. .
f Washington, Jan. .7. The chemical
schedule of the revised , tariff 'legisla
tion .to be enacted by the coming ex
tra session of. Congress was closed to
day so far. as public hearings are con
cerned, The indications are that the
Democratic majority ; of the House
Committee on Ways and Mtfans will
sustain, almost in the same terms its
chemical schedule as embodied in the
separate bill that passed both houses,
though vetoed at the last session of
Congress. . .. '
;It is possible that there may be no
more modification of the rates on spic
es, which . several members of the
committee favor, but, this is uncertain.
Pemocratlc and Republican members
alike are expecting the schedule .to
emerge from committee in almost the
identical form I, in which it was put up
to the last .session of .' Congress and
the President. ,, f ,
j 'The only. . indication of - nossihl
change in the schedule durinr th
long testimony today was while" W. J.
s"GJb
Gjbson,-a New.Yor Mawyer.; was argu
ing for a 50 per. cent, duty ont spices
and all other luxuries.
J 'Wouldn't it tend to .cut off im porta
uons u. we put. a, higher duty on spic
es?'L asked. Chairman Underwood. .
, "No," replied . the witness, who add
ea that "spices, running from 5 to 18
cents ,a pound were not expensive."
'Mr. Gibson wanted. to put cod liver
oil... on the free list because of its me-
uicinai vaiue to cWldren. He -classed

Montana Power Co., Will Be Givenl a
Washington, January 7 .What Sec
retary Fisher, believes to be the be
ginning of the electrification .of all
trans-continental railroads will be
marked today. by a grant to the Great
Falls, Mont., Power Company to trans
mit over the public J domain under
strict government regulation nower for
the electrification for . 450; miles ; of
tracks on the main line of. the Chicago,
Milwaukee , & Puget Sound Railroad
between , Harlowtciwn, Mont., and Av
ery. Idaho. . ',. ;.; ... . ; r.
The fact that the Great Falls Com
pany was "willing to accept the full
est provisions for the Drotection of
public interests, even where all ask
ing for the . transmission line . is of
even greater : importance than of the
public point, of view," asserted Secre
tary Fisher than the further '.great elecT
tnncation or railroads, : which must
follow. , r -
"It demonstrates," he r continued
not only that the provisions for the
protection of the public - interest upon
wnica tne Department of the Interior
nsists do not prohibit waterpower. de
i velopment as has been claimed by its
j opponents, hat that the greatest de-
J veiopment w has yet taken place
in the practical application of electric-
Ity can be and is being taken under
I these very prdvisions. The nower com
I Pany and the department -found that
they, could co-operate cordially and
effectively in fixing the, terms of;the
Erant so a3 to recognize: effectively
noth public and private interests and
riShts "
: Tne Sanfc.- which is for 50 years,
was worked out under the act of
March. 1911, relating to electrical
I transmission and telephone and tele-
Stkph lines. MThe. grant is subject to
readjustment every 10 years, provides
for regulation of rates and sfirvlm thp
power to the United States, .the
f tat.e and ' cities at f- lw a rate as
tne transfer of the permit without the
approval of the Secretary of the .In
terior.

General' Wood ' today.;, endorsed the
bill introduced 'by JieprsentatiYe Tiltj

servists should . receive $2.00 a month
whil in reserve," said General iWood.
"and when called upon in war. should
receive an amount Equivalent ; to $2

in :the reserve. Thi would give, the
reservist : sometiaing t j leave with his

I ;-"The r necessity for providing a re
servel of officers qualified to serve?as
company - officers ' of reserves .: of -vol
unteers is also one' of great importance
and should receive serious-; attention;,
T am of the opinion - that : it- would
be practicable to selact from the grad
uating classes of these militia schools
where; we have army officers as mili
tary instructors, 500- men f each year
who should be commissioned as .'see--ond
lieutenants in the regular army
for one year, and .to be discharged at
the end of that period with a certifi
cate of proficiency, if thsy merit -it. ji
"By way of .contrast with - the Unit

eral Wood enumerated the reserves in
the following countries:-Great Britain;
