Democratic Majority Has Given Indi?
cations of Itfl Ability to Tush It*
Programme Trough.
Washington, April 14,?The Canad?
ian reciprocity bill was formally laid
before thfl house jnst before adjouru
mont today an.l aft. r general debate,
which probably will continue for
three days, it will he passed. That this
ac tion will be taken Is no longer a
matter of speculation. The Democratic
house in Its conduct of the resolution
providing for the direct election of
senators, which passed yesterday and
the bill providing for the publication
of campaign funds, which passed to?
day has Indicated beyond all doubts
Pa ability to put through its legisla?
tiv.? programme.
O. W. Unerwood, chairman of the
ways and means committee, called up
the Canadian bill at 5 o'clock.
While no time was fixed for general
debate, a motion was adopted divid?
ing whatever time Is consumed be?
tween M. Underwood, who reported
the bill, and Representative Dalzell o*
Pennsylvania, the Republican member
of the ways and means committee,
who will lead the opposition to the
measure. Mr. Underwood declared
informally that he believed the discus?
sion of the measure should be con?
cluded within three days. Mr. Dalzell,
for the opposition, said he had no
desire unduly to protract the debate.
In the report of the ways and
means committee recommending the
passage of the bill. Mr. Underwood
said:
"There has hflOfl no delay or sug?
gestion of delay on the part of the
president In connection with this leg?
islation pending the collection of sta?
tistical data by the tariff board. On
the contrary, the president has urged
Immediate and favorable action by
the congress, naming reasons fully in
accord with long established Demo?
cratic principles. This reciprocal
agreement is in the interest of the
Kreat majority of the people of the
Country and Is In accord with the
ITOU established Democratic principle
of guarding the welfare of the masses.
The committee recommends the pas?
sage of the bill."
APPLIES ONLY TO CANADA.
Other Countrlrs not to Ileneflt by
Reciprocity Agreement.
Washington, April 14.?A European
Government, the first to press the
point, has been advised by the State
department that the tariff conces?
sions offered to Canada under the
pending reciprocity agreement will
not be extended by the United
States to other nations under the
"most favored nations" clause of their
treaties with this country. The State
department declined today to disclose
the name of the country which raised
the question. The discussion occurred
several weks ago and was purely
academic, as the reciprocity agree?
ment had not become a reality.
The department's reply pointed out
that a reciprocity arrangement was
In the nature of a bargain, the Uni?
ted States lowering the tariff bars in
return for similar concessions. The
privileges granted Canada could be
Obtained by other countries through
lal arrangements.
State department officials today
suggested that there are numerous
reciprocity treaties existing between
neighboring foreign nations, but the
United States had nc. :r claimed fa
rOTOfll nation treatment In connec?
tion with them.

Do It Yourself.
"Young Man." says Col. Bright, "You had better put your
money in th. hank, because it will get there anyhow whether you
put it there or not." Do you realize how much truth there is
to this statement? Do you know that the wealthy men Of the
United States handle their money almost entirely through the
bank. I think you will admit also that the wealthy men of
the country are also the smart men. The smart, wideawake m.>n
are the ones who get your money. Most of your money is s:>ent
with business men. These business men invariably take your
money when they get it and put it in the bank. Why not put it
in the bank yourself? The men who put your money in the
bank for you get lots of benefit out of it. Why not get this benefl
yourself. You are not too young o commence?neither are you
too old. Try it.
