SENATE PROGRESSES
THE ON THE TARIFF BILL
T(
U FOR II LOBBY
President Either Played in Bij
Luck or Was Very Astute in
Divining Conditions, Is
Washington's Opinion
BY BAX.F& SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. Aug. 25.—That
Pesident Wilson had luck, or was
unusually astute in divining conditions,
is the general opinion here with respect
to the institution of the lobby investi
gation at both ends of the capitol and
the developments which have ensued
since the senate and house committees
got down to work.
Congress took notice when Martin M.
Mulhall’s statement of his activities in
lobby work in behalf of the National
Association of Manufacturers was pub
lished by the New York World, which
so seriously regarded his sworn aver
ments that they paid him $10,000 for
that much and added to it a liberal
weekly allowance to run as long as he
was a witness before either the senate
or house committee. Mulhall’s state
ment involved one way and another,
a few seriously and the rest merely in
cidental and innocehtly, the names of
nearly two hundred senators and repre
sentatives, members of the present and
of past congresses.
The senate committee consisting of
Messrs. Overman, of North Carolina,
chairman; Reed, of Missouri, Walsh, of
Montana, Nelson, of Minnesota, and
Cummins, of Iowa, a subcommittee, of
the senate judiciary committee, took up
the investigation first and got posses
sion of many of the witnesses that were
material to the investigation of the
-house.
The house committee was conse
quently somewhat delayed by the sen-*
arte committee holding on to witnesses
wanted by the house, and it was not
until the senate had completed six
weeks' examination of Mulhall that the
hoiisfc was enabled t- begin its own in
vestigation.
The house committe was primarily
interested in Mulhall’s use of the names
of house members in his alleged lobby
campaigns, and determined at the out
set of its own work to make investiga
tion of all statements affecting members
of the present house and employes of
the present house.
The house lobby committee started
with Mulhall, after a preliminary state
ment by James A. Emery, counsel for
the National Association of Manufac
turers which employed Mulhall, osten
sibly, in lobby and political campaign
to rk, and was making progress with
him, when he complained of exhaustion
and through a physiican’s certificate ob
tained some days rest.
The committee then resumed action
by examination at length of Isaac H.
McMichael, former chief of pages of
the house, in connection with his em
ployment by Mulhall for the National
Association of Manufacturers and espe
cially with reference to McMichael’s
relations with the lobby propaganda
through his business connection with
Congressman James T.. McDermott, of
Illinois, commonly known here as the
representative of the Chicago slock
yards district.
McMichael’s statements on the stand
were immediately sensational. Appar
ently he intended to make a clean
breast of all his activities, and his tes
timony during several days of close
examination,- while admitting his own
culpability, involved McDermott and
several house amployes. Mulhall’s in
disposition to testify was used in tl^e
meantime for the committee to pursue
it’- investigations along other lines.
Among the subjects was the lobby
industry of certain pawn brokers and
money lenders of the District of Co
lumbia during the pendency before con
gress of what became known as the
“loan shark bill,” a measure reducing
the late of interest charged.
McMichael testified that McDermott
undertook, for liberal consideration
supplied by the Washington pawnbro
kers ahd money lenders, to influence
legislation their way. 'This particular
bianch of the investigation developed
not a few remarkably interesting fea
tures and was pursued so sharply and
industriously by the house committee
as riot only to impress the public gen
erally with the importance of the in
vestigation, but satisfied the house
membership that it was happily pro
vided for in the emergency in the char
acter of the committee chosen to do the
investigating in behalf of the house.
Praise of the house committee’s work
in the investigation, critics contrasting
its methods and achievements with
those of the senate’s committee, is
heard in all directions.* On the house
committee are four Democrats—Finis
J. Garrett, of Tennessee, /chairman; Cy-j
rus Cline, of Indiana; Joseph J. Rus-i
sell, of Missouri, and Scott Ferris, of,
Oklahoma; William H. Stafford, ofj
Wisconsin, and Frank B. Willis, of
•no, Republicans, and John 1. Nolan,
of California, Progressive.
The house committee, it is very gen
erally observed, has worked not only
with notable vigor and sagacity, but
with absolute harmony, throughout its
open sessions, and manifestly in its
private deliberations.
The senate committee’s work was
marred by no little wrangling and sub
jected some of its members to criti
cism for partisan tactics. The house
committee has so far been entirely free
from such animadversions.
The members have gone at their tasks
energetically and with an obvious de
termination to confine their efforts
strictly within the lines of the instruc
tions by the house, which though ex
ceedingly broad and far-reaching, admit
of no partisan prosecution of any per
son or interest involved.
Chairman Garrett has been particu
larly careful and successful in his con
duct of the examinations of witnesses
along these lines and has won for him-
Wool Schedule Disposed of
and Liberal Action Taken
on the Free List
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. Aug. 25.—Rapid pro
gress on the tariff bill was made today
in the senate. The wool schedule was
disposed of, so far as it will be con
sidered by the senate in committee of
the whole, and a deep inroad was made
into the free list.
Though no vote was taken on free
raw wool, the decisive showing on that
having been deferred until the bill
comes from the committee of the whole,
the finance committee rates on wool
manufactures were agreed to without
amendment and there was every indica
tion that raw wool would remain free.
The Penrose. LaFollette, Smoot and
Catron substitutes for the schedule will
come up when the bill apepars in the
senate proper.
With only a part of the free list,
a portion of the paper schedule and the
sundries schedule remaining to be con
sidered in committee. Democratic lead
ers expresed confidence that the in
come tax would be disposed of before
the end of the coming week. It was
their hope to have the bill ready for
the final vote in the senate within twd
weeks.
Among the articles on the free list
ratified today were agricultural imple
ments and sugar cane machinery, alco
hol, horses and mules and animals for
breeding. apatite, asbestos, bauxite,
bibles, brass, biscuits and many oth
ers.

(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
LAGRANGE, Ga., Aug. 25.—Number

self and his committee not only wide
spread commendation but emphatic ex
pressions of admiration. In short, the
house committee’s work so far promises
to divulge more lobby history than even
President Wilson ever dreamed of.
The consensus of opinion is that
the result of the investigations, which
will consume practically the remainder
of the sixty-third congress, will be the
enactment of what will become known
as a lobby regulating law. In just
what form lobbyists wil be treated is
yet to be disclosed, but it is evident
that they will not be permitted to ap
pear in behalf of any interest before,
any committee or to represent any!
respectable interest unless avowedly and
openly, considerable sentiment having
already been heard favoring registra
tion, the payment of a license fee and
a duly certified statement of inter
est or interests represented, along with
proper credentials.
Whatever the investigation may dis
close respecting the lobby Industries of
the National Association of Manufac
turers, it has at least even thus far
revealed the fact that no organiza
tion of business men in this country for
any purpose was ever so big and power
ful. It embraced the leading business
associations of all the large cities and
of all the states of the union.
These subsidiary organizations crea
ted through the initiative of officers
of the National Association of Manu
facturers. another active association
which became known as the National
Council for Industrial Defense for which
from manufacturers belonging to the
parent organization, about three hun
dred in number, a large sum of money
was annually collected.
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
GREENSBORO, Ga., Aug. 25.—Judge
John C. Hart, the governor’s appointee
to the recently ^created office of state
tax commissioner, spoke to a large
gathering of Green county citizens here
today, assembled to bid him farewell as
he leaves for the capital to assume his
new duties. Judge Hart spoke on the
new tax equalization law, explaining it
fully and completely to his auditors.
Judge Hart stated that the chief
trouble with the state finances lay in in
visible property, stocks, bonds and like
property, not being taxed. He also de
clared the state debt ought to be paid,
and would be paid. He commenced his
speech by telling the Greene countians
how deeply he appreciated their showing
him such signal honor.
His speech in part follows:
‘Taxation is a politcal and economic
question. Taxation is a science, and
lies at the very foundation of organ
ized society. It is the life blood of
the state. Government deprived of this
function would perish.
“Conditions exist today in this state
which are painful to contemplate. If I
consulted alone my own feelings as a
son of this dear state I would add to
further publicity to her embarrassment
by reciting these conditions. But it
is your right to know, for in its last
analysis the people constitute the state,
and I conceive it my plain duty to dis
cuss qpenly and frankly the conditions
which confront the state. I wish you
to understand and appreciate the spirit
that moves me to talk plainly in this
conference.
“The total revenue of the state for
1913 is estimated by the comptroller
general. Hon. William A. Wright, one
cJf the most conservative and capable
men that ever held an office in Geor
gia, at $5,673,000. The appropriation
to pensions is $1,180,000. The appro
priation to the common schools of the
state is $2,500,000, exclusive of the ap
propriations made to those institutions
of higher learning fostered by the
state. An analysis of the figures will
demonstrate that the two items named,
the payment of pensions and the appro
priations to education, take 75 per cent
of the state’s total revenue. The balance
of the state’s revenue is applied to the
payment of the interest on the public
debt and the creation of a sinking fund
amounting to $383,000, and the main
tenance of the civil establishment, in
cluding the administration of justice
and the support of the public institu
tions.
“The state has been trying to meet
these appropriations, but her revenue
has proved insufficient. Yearly the de
ficit has grown until it now amounts
to approximately one million dollars.
“DEBT WILL BE PAID.”
When your legislature met recently
the very last thing your retiring gover
nor said was, “The state should pay her
debts;” and they very first thing the in
coming governor did was to send a
message otthe legislature that the
state’s debts must be paid; and I hear
now the message—God bless the people
oi Georgia—proclaimed by thousands of
voices, from the mountains to the sea
shore, in harmonious acclaim sweet to
me as the music of the heavenly choir,
the debt shall be paid. I feel embolden
ed here and now to say # to Georgia’s sis
ter states that no commonwealth in this
union may boast of a more patriotic
citizenship, and that Georgia will on or
before the 25th day of December, 1914,
be redeemed, and will claim her right
ful place in the sisterhood of the states.
The people of Georgia when advised
of the situation will pay the debt. It
only remains to point the way how this
may be done. It is not a hard thing to
do. It is an easy hng to do, and in do
ing it benefit yourselves. The debt
cannot and should not be paid by any
particular class of persons, but should
be paid by both classes, natural and
artificial, individuals and corporations.
The end hoped for is that exery tax
payer shall do his share, which^is to be
determined by the yalue of his prop
erty. This is' the essence of justice. No
fair-tl&nking man will object to this
rule, and if the rule is observed by all
taxpayers of Georgia, the debt can be
paid and taxes would cease to be a
u.iden. But when taxpayers with
hold their property from taxation, or
make incorrect returns; and feel that
such things can be done consistently
with common honesty, the result is in
equality, and one man is made to bear
the burden of another.
There is enough property in Georgia
today in the form of invisible property,
consisting of bonds, of money, of notes,
mortgages and like securities, which
has never paid a cent of tax, to raise,
if put upon th" digest where such prop
erty rightfully belongs, sufficient rev
enue to pay off the state’s debt and in
another year result in reducing the
present tax rate of five mills from
two to three mills. It is to the interest
of every citizen in Georgia to see that
every species of property pays its just
proportion o* taxes. It is to our finan
cial interest to be honest. We ought
to be honest even when it costs us
something to be honest, but no man
can claim that his mind or his heart
is right when he argues that it is pref
erable to be dishonest at a financial
sacrifice.
The last legislature, realizing the
state’s financial condition, has made a
start towards relieving it. The bill
which has passed may not be perfect.
Legislation rarely is. Where there are
conflicting views of the legislators all
legislation is more or less a compro
mise. We will, as we proceed under
the new act, note its defects, remedying
them where possible, and administering
the law in a spirit of absolute fair
ness. The local assessors to be appofnt-
ed In the several counties of the state
should be men of the highest type. Men
worthy to have and holding the respect
and confidence of all the people of the
county. The office of county assessor
should be looked upon as carrying with
it the gravest responsibility. It will be
necessarily a hard office to fill. These
officers are required to equalize taxes
among the citizens of this county so
that each man takes his part of the bur
den, no more, no less. They have the
authority and it is their duty to see that
the invisible property of the county is
likewise placed on the tax digest. They
have authority and it is their duty,
where property has not been returned
for taxatioij, to examine and inquire of
the taxpayer why the omission. Don’t
get mad with the local assessors. Re
member they are your servants and
working for your good. Hold up their
hands. And the local assessors in the
discharge of their duty should remember
and appreciate the delicacy of the situa
tion and do so with the highest Regard
and consideration for the feelings of
others. With the county board of as
sessors the success of this new law lies.
Let them administer it in the spirit of
Georgia's motto, with wisdom, justice
and moderation. These are patent words,
all three, but the greatest of all. moder
ation. Moderation combines wisdom and
justice.

Exact Figures Not Obtainable
but Are Close to Actual
Amount-Whole State Will
Receive Around $1,800,000
(By RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON Aug. 25.—One million
eight hundred thousand dollars is to be
dumped into the state of Georgia by
the United States treasury department
to facilitatte the movement of the cot
ton crop. The money will be distributed
among the cities of Savannah, Atlanta,
Macon and Augusta on a basis of na
tional banking capital.
It is believed that upwards of $750,-
000 will be deposited in the banks of
Atlanta, but the exact figures are not
known definitely.
•A formal statement will be issued
probably Monday by Assistant Secre
tary Williams in which the allotment to
the several banks will be made-known.
It was learned today that the treas
ury department has already begun to
ditribute the fund, and the money will
be moved from- Washington just as
rapidly as the security of the several
depositors is approved.
The facts in the above dispatch are
approximately correct. Atlanta banks
will receive approximately $750,000.
maybe a little more, but not much. This
much is authoritative.
The local banks will receive the
money in a week or ten days, for it will
require that much time to arrange all
the necessary details. Half the amount
will be sent this time, and the balance
next month. The government will call
for its return in quarterly payments, be
ginning December 1, and ending March
1.
It is not possible to learn how the
total amount will be prorated among At
lanta banks.
As to the distribution to other cities
of the state, it is probable that Macon
will receive $500,000, and Savannah and
Augusta will probably get $250,000 each
That Macon gets as much as Savan
nah and Augusta combined can be ex»
plained by the fact that Macon has
twice as many national banks. The
figures on these Georgia cities, however,
are not authoritative but are fairly ac
curate estimates; \
The local ^clearing house has receiv
ed a circular from the treasury depart
ment outlining the various conditions
of the currency advance, most of which
are already familiar.

NpW YORK, Aug. 25.—A skyscraper
whose topmost tower wil rise 901 feet
above the curb is planned by the Pan-
American States association. Unless
plans miscarry, it will be built in this
city, constructed wholly of materials
from the Latin-American republics, will
wrest from the Woolworth building the
distinction of being the world’s tallest
habitable structure and will be ready
for occupancy with the opening of the
Panama-Pacific exposition in Califor

Such at least are the tentative plans
of the promoters. Plans and specifi
cations for the structure have been
drafted and will be given to a building
committee of the association next Tues
day for review and acceptance. Francis
H. Kimball, designer of notable down
town skyscrapers, made the plans. The
estimated cost of the structure is $9,-
000,000. The site has not yet been se
