Interior secretary prospects and tariff debates in Congress
Washington reports indicate Senators and representatives from multiple states returning from Trenton discuss the interior secretary appointment with Wilson hinting the choice will avoid a western land state, while Wyoming’s candidate Osborne sees little attention. House Ways and Means plans push free sugar and meats with a 20 percent wool levy, as beet contracts hinge on tariff outcomes and factory interest. Congress is expected to advance public land town coal mine bills, granting 220 acres free to towns at cost of mining to residents, amid broader debates on economy and appropriations.
