Washington, June 6.-The Industrial
Commission at its session to-day consid-
cred the tariff question with incidental
reference to trusts, the witnesses being
Congressman Robert w. Taylor of Ohio
and DR.. George Gunson, president of the
New York Institute of Social Economics
Mr. Taylor took the position that any
discussion in Congress of the tariff at this
time would have a damaging effect upon
was the most equitable tariff law the
United States ever had.
He took a decided position against the
trusts and said that they are not fostered
by the protective tariff. Mr.. Taylor also
said that he believed in the principle of
reciprocity, but that he did not indorse
any of the recently negotiated reciprocity
treaties.
DIR. Gunton devoted himself especially
to replying to an argument recently made
before the commission by Mr.. Edward At
kinson for freer trade. DIR. Gunton said
that the freedom contended for by the
opponents of the tariff is analogous to
the freedom of the savage, a freedom
which. If INDUCED in too freely, not only
brings injury to others, but ruin to him
self.
Why Taylor Opposes Trusts.
Mr.. Taylor announced himself as op-
posed to the principle involved in trusts
because, he said, he considered human
nature too weak to entrust in few PEG,
pie such power as is involved in trusts.
He thought abuses were certain and that
the result would be what ne called gov

trusts.
He said he had no remedy for trust
evils. He said he would oppose the Bah

The Two Dakotas Again Arrayed
Against Each Other over Collector
District Headquarters. q
Senator Kyle wants Headquarters At

North Dakota Deputyship.
Mccumber Said to Hare. Consented
but Hansbrough Makes
Fight for Fargo. $SSl 5:s1

Washington, March IA tug OF
war is pending between the North and
South Dakota delegation over the es-
tabl1shment of headquarters and the
appointment of collector in the new
district to embrace those states Sen
ator Hansbrough insists that either
the appointment or the Headquarters
shall go to North Dakota. Senator
Kyle is figuring ON the establishment
of headquarters at Aberdeen and the
appointment of C. B. Collins of Groton,
S. D., as collector. Collins is endorsed
by National Committeeman Greene,
Governor Herried and other promin-
ent South Dakotans. Senator Kyle
made an agreement with Senator Nc
Cumber that for the first four years
South Dakota should have the head
quarters and collector and North Da-
kota the chief deputy collector. North
Dakota is then to have the collector.
This was not approved by Senator
Hansbrough. According to the re-
adjustment of the internal revenue the
salary of the Dakota collector will be
$4,000. 1t is the expectation that the
revenues for the new district will be
increased during the next year about
$125,00O This would bring the sal
ary to $500. There is a conference
by the warning Dakotans with a view
to reaching an agreement. Senator
Hansbrough wants the headquarters
at Fargo.
