in ' the : rules governing the ' reserva
tion of sleeping car berths will bp con
sidered today by the executive com
mittee of the Western Passenger As

of the privilege of making advance
reservations for berths, officials of

of shortening the time- within which
reservations may be made.. Patrons
may now claim reservations within ten
minutes of train time. " .
Scores of reservations are made daily
and not claimed. Some passenger of
ficials favor the cancellation of reser
vations an hour before a train de
parts. Others -advocate the Canadian
plan which requires travelers to pur
chase sleeping car tickets refunding
the orice if the berth is not used.

are being maltreated and Imprisoned.
"We need amunition but are unable
to procure it because of the vigilance
of the American authorities. Recent

at- El Paso. I speak not; alone for
Sonora, but for Chihuahua, Smoaloa

Sees Jhe End Of
Stand Pat G. 0. P
Progressive Congressman
Tells Why He Voted for
Underwood Bill ,
Commends Attitude of Rep
resentative Donovan - and
Decries Futile Efforts of
Beactionary Element.
(By Our Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, July 24 Arthur R. Rub-
ley, Progressive representative at large
from Pennsylvania, who is a resident
of Carlisle, Pa., and wlio was sent to
Congress with 606,709 votes to 343,163
received by his nearest competitor, be.
lleves that he can see the end of the
old Republican party in the attitude
of the old line Republicans toward the
Underwood tariff- bill before the pres
ent session of Congress. Mr. Rupley
states that if there were ever a class
typically tory-reactionary in .their at
titude toward the American people ot
is the representatives in the present
Congress who are advancing the same
old arguments for a high protective
tariff that, they i have advanced for
the nast two decades, after going' be
fore the people ' upon a- proposition to
revise .the tariff downward. Mr. Rup
ley can see little hope of redemption
of the old G.- O. P., but can forsee the
upbuilding of a big new party upon
the foundation laid by the Progress
ives in the last election.
Mt RudW was one of the Pro
gressives who voted for the passage
of the Underwood bilL When asked
yesterday why he supported the Dem
ocratic measure he said:
The old Republican party, the Pro
gressives and the5 Democrats all went
before . the' neople last fall with plat
forms promising to revise the tarin
downward." The great majority of the
neople wanted tariff revision down
ward and as the .Democrats -were the
recipients of, the ; largest number oi
votes, thev .were -rt&turaHy the. ones
who had the 'construction "of the, bill
that was to? be considered. The ground
that TJ took was that I ' was not in
Congress to throw ' stones w ' to place
obstacles in the .way of remedial ' leg
islation,',' particularly "after it was so-
evident' that - the people' had decreed
at the polls that they were sick of the
old order ef-things. -
1 figured that it was my duty to
aid the eontrollinir party in getting
out a tariff bill that vc ouid be the best
possible for thee couary,' - -
There were many- things, about the
bill, that " I did nOtvlike, - but as a whol
It was A bill' for revision downward.
If the country waited for a. tariff bill.
to which every member . of Congress
could- cheerfully , . subscribe to . every
section .we would never get a. tariff
bill enacted. - My ' Republican colleagues
seemed -to forget that .they ever had
av platform. - and started at once In
the- debates to take the attitude - of
he rankest re'actionarism possible, and
when they did they held the mirror up
to what the party has been for many
years, the hand maiden or Toryism.
If my Republican friends wanted to
criticize any part of the tariff bill as
it affected their section of the coun
try it'was their duty to take a stand
foi" their section, and .present their
case and its merits, but to decry the
entire bill, as they did and contest
It schedule , to schedule, was far from
being hi keeping with the platform
they had . themselves stood, upon In th
laSst election. .. , . v -'-."
Take the case of Representative
Donovan, a Democrat, of Connecticut
He comes from a district that is not
ed for its intensity and diversity or
manufactures. Mr. Donovan fought
for. the schedules that affected his dis.
trict. and presented the case of his
constituents as each schedule was dis
cussed. First he spoke in the Demo
cratic caucus and secured a few
changes there. Next' he , was heard
in the House and even though he was
nor able there to secure such changes
as lie desired he voted for the entire
bill. Any man who . believes in , the
rule of the "majority would vote for
the, bill under the conditions. And Mr.
Donovan did . not stop in seeking
changes to the bill after it had left
the House. - TAke the lawyer carrying
his case from, lower court to higher
court, he went to the Senate, and pre
sented his case. The fact that he had
demurred in the . House gave ' him
standiner before the Senate committee.
and by being persistent he was able
to get the Senate to make some of the
changes- he sought, principally In: the
matter of fur felj; hats.
"Mr. 'Donovan had to give away a
little liket the others, ftiut he Was
consistent, and it was possible for ev
ery member of Congress to make just
such a contest for his district If -1
had refused to ,vote for the bill be
cause I did not like certain parts of
it, and all of the other members who
would have liked a change here and
there - had balked the country never
would have secured a tariff measure.
"I believe that the ' country by the
expression it had given i at- the polls
wanted" action, and I believe they have
secured it in the present tariff legisla
tion. After seeing the left-over Re
publican .members perform so incon
sistently with ' their platform pledges
I can readily understand why the
country has had to wait so long for
remedial legislation. - With them a
platform was something to use at elec
tion times, - and to put away in cold
storage when Congress convened so
that they could- serve the special priv
ilege class of the nation.- The coun
try is for once on to the curves of
the" Republican party as conducted
by the standpatters. All of the par
ties of this country-in the. future will
have to be progressive for there will
never be a party . that ' will travel as
far as the old G. -O. P. did upon tra
ditions that died when the Tory ele
ment captured the reins of control and
recognized corporate wealth as its only
mac.ter.".' . -
