TRUSTS ARE THEIR IDOLS. When Combines Cannot Be Accommodated Republican Leaders Are Unhsppy. The Tawney tobacco hill has ripped rpen the republican party lines In the ways and means committee, to the great disgust of Chairman Payne Hetold ta" republican members that he thought it was foolish for the committee to attempt to do any business at this session and useless to have any committee hearings So because the republican members of the greate-st committee of the house of representatives cannot all agree on on" bill, the whole machinery Is to stor What a travesty on popular government The representative of the people in congress assembled are supposed to be engaged in legislsting for th" wants of their constituents, but because some of his associates do not agree with Mr. Payne he threatens to shut up shop, s'and pat and go home. The pluck of the republican members has certainly greatly deteriorated or they would relist the do-nothing policy when there Is so much legislation that is demanded Mr. Tawney's bill, tbe matter that raised this rumpus, was to prevent tobacco manufacturers from putting prize coupons Into packages of cigarettes.
