THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, MAY 12, 1012.
DEMAND REAL
Makeshift Written Into Wilson-
Underwood Bill Arouses
Bitter Opposition.
WASHINGTON, May 12.—Genuine
reciprocity, and not the makeshift
written into the WllsontTnderwood
bill, Senators believe, will e de
manded and insisted upon by the
Senate. Majority members of the
Finance Committee are now* endeav
oring: to see Just how* far they may
g:o in rewriting: the sections of the
House bill to make it conform to
what they believe the underlying
principle of all reciprocal agreements
should be.
Chairman Simmons, of the Finance
Committee, and Senator Hoke Smith,
one of the most influential members
of the committee, have expressed
their adherence to the doctrine of
reciprocity.
Both have said they hoped the bill
when it became a law would provide
machinery that would enable the
President to negotiate reciprocity
agreements and that rates would be
so arranged that the President would
have an effective weapon at his com
mand to compel concessions. The
details of whatever plans they may
have in mind have not been worked
out.
Many Amendments Certain.
Every majority member of the com
mittee has stated amendments to
the bill and that in many items the
rates will be increased.
The methods of procedure of the
Senate Committee and the House
differ radically.
Senator Kern, majority leader,
moved last week that when the Sen
ate adjourn it be until next Tuesday
afternoon. This prevailed, and at
the very threshold of debate on the
tariff, by Democratic votes, a delay
of three days was ordered in the face
of the demand of President Wilson
that not a moment be lost in rushing
through the bill in the Senate.
In the Senate the Democrats are
taking into consideration the differ
ence on the cost of production here
and abroad in fixing their rates. A
number of articles that have been put
on the free list will be shifted back
to the dutiable, and a few’ articles
made dutiable in the House will be
made free. Dye stuffs and pigments
are notable instances of the differ
ences between the two houses.
The rates on high grade cotton are
to be raised and a new classification
arranged.
Window and plate glass as fixed by
the House are deemed to be too low
and will be raised.
All these changes afford opportuni
ty of subsequent, reductions under
reciprocal trade agreements in line
w ith the real Democratic tariff idea.
Senator Smith, of Michigan, bases
caustic criticisms «n the sugar sched
ule, the manufacture of beef sugar
being a great industry of his State.
“After the trust has run its com
petitors out of business, as they
will under this law,” says Mr. Smith,
“and competition no longer exist, the
price of sugar will be increased to
what It was before beet sugar was
discovered. If you intend to with
draw from circulation all the money
invested in sugar production and
turn it over to foreigners, it ought
to be done in the open. Give the
people a chance to be heard, and do
not do this in the dark and gloom
of a secret chamber.”
Can’t Lose “Wilson.”
Senator Smith says it is singular
that all the Democratic tariff bills
looking to free trade bore the name
of Wilson.
“I saw Bryan help carry William
L. Wilson on his shoulder from the
house on the day of his ‘great tri
umph.’ it was not very long before
these same shoulders carried a weight
so heavy that it has taken twenty
years to regain the confidence of the
people.
“I don’t believe that prosperity can
continue under this law. In your
hearts you don’t believe It or you
would not be -so worried as you are.
It was faith in your promised good
works that put you in power.
“If this question were to be sub
mitted to the people to-day you would
be repudiated and thrown from office.
The American people are not for
free trade, and that’s what you are
endeavoring to force upon them.”
The fight to order public hearings
will come up again Tuesday.

T3 INSURANCE
Damage Already Reaches Into
Millions—Golf Links Are Pro
tected Against Loss.
LONDON, May 12.—Inquiries insti
tuted at Lloyd’s have developed the
fact that the insurance companies are
reaping a golden harvest as a result
of suffiflagette depredations. Busi
ness has received a great impetus
both from the Insurance of golf links
as well as from fire risks.
Numerous golf clubs have insured
against revenue losses as the result of
militant interference, while others
have taken out policies insuring golf
greens against damage by suffra
gettes. The premiums charged are ?5
per green per annum, the limit of the
underwriters* liability being $250 on
each green.
These insurances, however, were
mostly for three months, because it
is believed that the trouble will be
settled in that time either by a tri
umph of the militants or by the sup
pression of their campaign.
Insurance against fire has been
equally brisk, but owing to the great
competition in this business rates
have not been affected.
Damage to Date $5,000,000.
Estimates of *he financial loss
caused by suffragette outrages, pre
pared for the Home Secretary, put the
amount as $5,000,000. This sum does
not include the expense of employing
large numbers of extra police, detec
tives and watchmen, to protect Minis
ters, public buildings and meetings.
Three detectives have been assigned
to protect each Cabinet Minister at all
times. All suspected persons^are shad
owed by plainclothes men and all pub
lic buildings are under special guard.
Since the defeat of the woman suf
frage bill large numbers of former
constitutional suffragists have joined
the militant movement. An attack on
the House of Lords is one of the new
plans, and this is to be accomplished
by means of a suffragette typist who
could get a position on the reporting
staff of the upper house.
Arrests Check Riots.
In spite of the sensational outrages
of the past week and although the
militants are keeping up a strong
bluff, their organization has been
shaken by recent arrests of leaders.
The militant acts now’ being commit
ted are the handiwork of suffragettes
working Independently, and the au
thorities believe that the removing* of
the central controlling influences will
soon break up the campaign of de
struction.
This optimistic view is not shared
by politicians generally, who believe
that as long as money is forthcoming
crimes will be committed.
