(United Press Telegraph-Cable Service.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. ? Senator
Aldrich is preparing a tariff bill,
which, according to insiile informa ,
tiou. will represent the last, stand of
the reactionaries.
The Rhode Island senator is pre
eminently and conspicuously the "an
gel" of the special Interests which
Roosevelt has been fighting so sue
ct-ssfully for the last eight years.
The interests now look to Aldrich to
save their faces in the tariff fight,
and. while the ways and means com
mittee is making a tariff bill that pr^
vldes for a real revision. In accord
ance wiih the Chicago platform and
the wishes of President-elect Taft,
Senator Aldrich is quietly framing
another bill, which will have the "O.
K." of the Interests.
To Fight In Senate.
The enormous aggregations of
wealth which are concerned in the
maintenance of certalu schedules or
In a "revision upward." if that were
possible, liave abandoned hope as
far as the House of Representatives
Is concerned, and have shifted the
base of their operations to the senate
It is settled that the ways and moans
committee is going to bring in a re
vision measure which will revise ? a
good-faith revision, such as President
elect Taft wants.
It also ts as good as settled tliat
the bill will go through the House
of Representatives under a rule which
will cut off amendments.
ALDRICH RULES COMMITTEE.
It then will be the privilege of the
special Interests to emasculate the
bill in the senate, if they cau, and
it is there they are centering their ef
forts. In the upper branch the.v

place tariff legislation must past
through Senator Aldrlch's commlttec
? the committee on finance. In pro
paring a tariff bill of his own, Sena
tor Aldrich is following one of his ole
schemes, which has worked with
great success in the past. Ho is for
tifying himself with something to
trade on. He does not expect his bill
to pass, but by making a stiff fight
for it, he ?xpects to obtain something
approximating what ho wants in the
way of compromise.
To Throw Out House Bill.
Just what his tactical moves will
be he is not revealing, but it is sus
pected that his committee will striki
out all of the tariff bill as it comes
from the house, except the enacting
