A bill to take special privilege-
off of the peoDle's back Dassedl
the senate last week. It is com-
Uiuuijr nuuwu as ILIO OllliUlUUa-
Underwood tariff bill. Old
special privilege has grown
mighty fatduringthe lastquarter
of a century and a big pack will
be lifted from the people when
the aforesaid bill becomes a law
a few weeks hence. Under the
Wilson administration the people
are coming into their own.
To take control of the money
of the country from Wall street
and the money trust and dedicate
it to the legitimate business of
the country, should be the title
of the Wilson-Owen-G lass
currency bill. That is just what
the measure proposes to do.
This is why some of the big bank
ers oppose it. The bill is so fair
and so clearly in the interest of
the public that many of the bank
ers and practically all of the busi
ness men of the country favor it.
It is certain that the house will
pass the bill within a few days.
Secretary Daniels of the navy
department believes in getting;
something for the money. He re
jected some bids recently and re
advertised. As a result $46,
000 were saved on one item.
Then again an English firm bid
nearly $50,000 less on turbine
than did Americans and got the
contract. Tbe price included the
duty the foreign builder is re
quired to pay. Sapulpa Demo
