' H ETHER tho Senate passes a
wool bill ' or not, . whether
President Taft will have, the
chance to peas on genuine revision
downward at this session or not, how
depends upon whether the republican
Insurgents ot the senate really went
to legislate or prefer to "play poli
tics." The parliamentary situation in the
senate is something like this:
It Is agreed to vote on the house
wool bill itself. Senator Smoot has
Introduced a bill containing very
slight reductions of schedule K, for
which the regular republicans are ex
pected to vote. ' Senator LaFollette
has offered another, representing what
the insurgents 411 a reasonable revis
ion proceeding upon the republican
substitute can command the votes re
nuired for Its adoption, nor appar
ently, can a majority be counted for
the house bUl oh a final vote.
Therefore the democratic leaders of
the senate propose to abandon the
house bill. If the LaFollette insurgents
V will UlC'Wlse abandon their . bllLTh
fisnnirsti wninn - mnn nnir 1'urrviiisi
duties midway between those assessed
In the two other measures. Such a
comnromlse has been prepared and Is
being passed around the senate under
the name of the "Williams bill." nut
the Insurgents appear loath to make
the concession. Bhould they definitely
refuse to come to a middle ground,
then the democrats are inclined to
break off negotiations altogether and
charge them with insincerity in their
downward revision talk.
The house leaders will not sacrifice
tlielr own measure for any other not
democratic in principle, i ni . u
declare they will never agree to the
LaFollette measure because protection
is Its Intention.

Kitchin not having veto power

in making recommendations . to the
