aro proud of him because in all of the

winds that blow
I
With a declaration that his candi
date knew naught of expenses Air
Rodcuberg said his fidelity to princi
ple was his religion and loyalty to
honest conviction was the cardinal
tunor of his creed His courage was
described as that born of conscience
originating in the lofllcai conception
of public duty I
Continuously for more than a third I
of a century he has been in the cal
cium light of publicity continued Mr
Rodenborg and as that light has
grown stronger with such succeeding
years It has served only to reveal
more and more clearly his transcen
dent qualities of head and heart until
today the fairminded people of tho
I
United States with one accord regaia
Joseph Cannon as one of the greatest
and most forceful of American states
men
His very name Is a synonym a gu
arantee of consistency and his mast
erful militant record as a member
of congress for 31 years Is an Inslpra
tion to tho struggling ambitious youtn
of the land
Three times he has been honored
by his Republican colleagues with
their unanimous vote forthe ell aUer
ship of this house position second
only in prestige and Importance to
the presidency itself With consum
mate skill and unfaltering Hrmncss
he has kept the legislative ship in the
middle ot Iho channel of progress
weathering all storms of unjust criti
cism avoiding the rocks ot radical
ism on the one hand and the shoals
of ultra conservatism on the other
Today he stands forth In all the splen
dor of matured Intellectuality vigor
ous In mind and boilv better equipped
than over to discharge the duties or
the high ofilce which has so signally
honored for six years challenging the
admiration of every American who be
lieves in doing honor to a brave ana
a manly man
Mr Chairman catching the spirit
that breathes upon us from the glen
oils memories of an earlier day the
spirit that gave birth to the Republi
can party of which he was one or tno
founders In response to the admiring
sentiment of the Republican member
ship of this house I nominate for
speaker of the slxlyllrst congress the
Iron Dulw of American politics Jo
seph G Cannon
In response to tho demand lor 1
Hpecch Speaker Cannon addressed the
caucus He said
MMr Chairman and Follow Republi
cans I thank you for the mark or
your confidence and esteem und In the

Wo have before us a most dltllcult
session Tariff legislation Is In a cln fI
b itself and from the standpoint ot
practical loglnlation presents more hit
Hoult problems than any other kind of
legislation A tariff bill Is general In
that It affects the wholo great subject
of revenue but at the same time it
is private and special in Its nature as
it enters every district and affects tne
products of every farm and factory
The approaching legislation there
fore will bring with It peculiar dir
ncuUlcs and unusual temptations
While wo must regard with solid
tiouB care the interests of tho people
wo represent individually we must
on the other hand keep constantly on
the mind that our first duty Is to tho
Unit < d States aa a wholo that Us reve
nues may be sufficient for Its needs
and that its Industrial life may con
tlnut to flourish In the future under
our care as it has flourished In tho
pant indcr the distinguished men who
have preceded us as trustees under
the constitution
Tho work before UB will call lor
much industry for unusual soil re
BtrninL and forobcarancu and for a
patriotic and determined purpose that
tho responsible political party in the
house of representatives shall In due
time return to the people with Its
trust fulfilled to the satisfaction of all
reasonable men
It Is not only necessary that we
do our work well it Is essential that
wo do it as quickly as la consistent
with thoroughness the industries
of over sixty million people await our
tnollonn The newspapers toll us aH
mic of the symptoms of Industrial
prostration that noOOOOfrclght cars
Ho Idle on tho sidings
i Tho power of the people or the
United States through their reprc
tontatlvca to fix their own revenues
and control their own expenditures Is
ono of the subllm st attributes or our
llberty consecrated by the suffering
J
and the liven of generations ot patri
ots Vo must exercise that power
with Industry and diligence that the
expectations of the people may be
realized without un duo doluy
The wisdom of those who have pre
ceded ua In this houso has left us a
system of rules the moat sufficient
that ever guided a legislative body aM
large as the house of representatives
Every step In making these rules ef
ficient was resisted bitterly and the
men who stood up for tho rules were
misrepresented by every Interest at
fcctcd by their action and criticised
by a large army of innocent victims
of misrepresentation nut misropre
Kentatlon diet with the day Now
those men BOG much criticised then
are commended on every hand while a
new brood of misrepresentations are
now criticisms against those who to
day continue the work of the past
These things will also pass away ana
when present understandings have
died away wo shall also have tno
commendation of tho future If only
we remain true to ourselves and to
our trust

Ways and Means Committee
to Consider Special
Taxation Monday
Washington March 13AI the tar
iff bill stands tonight codec remains
on the free list Whoa the Republi
can members of the ways and means
committee ceased their labors tonight
until Monday morning the provisions
elating to special taxation had not
been decided upon The Payne bill
will not he ready for Introduction on
Monday according to a member ot
the committee
While the Inheritance tax provision
undoubtedly will bo Included in the
bill the members of tho subcommlt
tee have been unable to agree re
garding this or the proposition to im
I pose a stamp tax on checks bonds
and Blocks The entire matter la
still open
Tho treasury officials view with
disfavor the proposition to levy an im
I port on coffee It Is pointed out that
several million bass of high grade
Brazilian coffeo Is now hold In this
country and In some of the European
countries and security for loans maao
to one of tho Brazilian states and
that should a duty bo imposed the
coffee utored In Europe could bo ship
ped Into the United States before the
now tariff bill would become opera
tive This vast quantity or coffee
estimated to exceed ten million bags
is said to equal the entire exporta
tion of Brazilian coffee into the Unit
ed States for a wholo yqar Thus it
is stated Instead of tho tax being n
I revenue producer the Income tor the
Arat year IB likely to be insignificant
I In the brief which they submitted
to the ways and means committee
tho National Coffee and Tea association
i
lion declares that the proposed tux
I on coffee or tea would fall to produce
I any material revenue to the govern
ment for nearly two years and would
Increase the cost of those beverages
to 25 per year
They stated that the supply of cof
fee In the world amounts to about
I
sixteen million bags of which lour
I million bags are stored hero or arc
I afloat In this country
According to the figures which
submitted a duty or four cents a
pound on coffee would thoy claim
i mean an immediate profit of at least
520 per bag upon every bag In the
I United States or a profit of nearly
21000000 to owners and holders of
I this coffee
I As an average of one billion pounds
I 6f coffee are imported annually the
I tariff Trainers figured that a duly or
four cents per pound would bring n
revenue to the government of nearlY
38000000 annually The Importa
tions that would be free ot duty from
Porto Rico and Hawaii which now
amount to forty million pounds prob
ably would Increase with th prouc
thou afforded by this duty Tile Philip
Y
pines which now practically export no
I coffee It Is contended would send con
siderable coffee lo this country If the
I suggested tax were not placed on their
