This is old age as it should be. But age

PRESIDENT
Roosevelt FavOrS Tariff
Revision
By a Permanent Board or
Commission.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. l4.--Postmas-
ter General Henry C. Payne In an in
terview today said that the forthcom-
ing annual message of President Roose-
velt TO Congress would probably recon-
mend that a permanent tariff commits
sion be appointed.
THE Presidents views In regard to
revision of the tariff are substantially
the same as those given by Senator
Spoouer in his speech last night" said
Mr.. Payne.
.'He will probably favor q reduction
Of import duties upon products which
no longer need protection.
'-He is also Inclined to favor the crea-
tion OF a permanent tariff commission
which can n all times receive testi-
mony subject to expert consideration Of
the varying interests of production and
trade; submitting their reports and
recommendations TO Congress, as other
departments Of the national govern
ment.
This will insure the thorough and
careful compilation Of all Information
accessible, and will save to congress
sionsl committees a vast amount oI
labor.
This was the policy outlined by the
President in his speech at Logansport
Ind, which he had prepared for deliv
cry at Milwaukee, and which, It Is saf'
to predict. will be embodied in his an
nual message to Congress.
"He is strongly in earnest in thes'
views as well as IN relation to reciproc
ity as a feature of our commercial IN
tercourse with foreign nations.
"Since the adjournment OF Congress
, Overwhelming manifestations that tn
. people favor reciprocity with Cuba in
, dicate that the opposition to the meas
ure has faded away and that Congress
will at an early day redeem the pledg
made by President Mckinley for RI
ciprocal trade relations with the youn
republic"

CONGRESS

Attorney General Knox Declares
That Constitution Permits OF
the Necessary Laws.
CONGRESS

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct Ii.-Attorney
General Knox addressed the members
of the chamber Of commerce At the Ho-
tel Schenley here today. There were
500 guests present
The subject of his address was ''The
Commerce Clause Of the Constitution
and the Trusts"
Mr.. Knox was afterward entertained
by w. III. Keech, chairman Of the com
mittee In charge Of the meeting.
MIR: Knox said In part:
THAT there are evils and abuses In

Mr. Knox dwelt at length upon tn,

Speaking Of the control Of trusts ur
