THE TARTFF a Tax

That the Washington Post believes
the tariff to be a tax is evidenced by
the following editorial comment upon
the action of the senate committee on
the Cuban reciprocity treaty Immed-
lately following the report of the com
mittee the Post said:
THE Cuban reciprocity treaty was
reported favorably yesterday by the
senate committee on foreign relations.
1t was not, however, reported in its
original form, but with an amendment
requiring the concurrence of the house
of representatives. The senate in a
word, has recognized the constitutional
prerogahve of the house to pronounce
upon an measures affecting the pub
lie revenue.
THE Post has advocated this prin-
ciple FOR many years. We have always
insisted that the language of the con-
stitution is unmistakable, and that no
law relating, either directly or Indirect
ly, to- taxation can be valid without
formal ratification by the popular body.
The Post. therefore, is both gratihed
and elated by this definite recognition
Of the principle it has so long and so
consistently advocated. Tt establishes
a precedent which future congresses
win hardly venture to repudiate, and
fit restores the processes of national
legislation to safe channels. There has
been all too much of this attempt 20
enact tariff laws under the disguise of
reciprocity treaties. and to surrender
TO the executive and the senate a func-
ton which the organic law expressly
confers upon the house of representa-
uves. We are not at all surprised by
the action taken yesterday"

River and Miss J. Anna Carpenter. of
Westward-Ho. All of these players won
their games today by fairly comfortable
margins, except Miss Carpenter who had
hard struggle in defeating Miss Bishop.
Miss Osgood's play was the steadiest to-
day, her medal score of 4S on the out
ward journey, being three strokes better
than that of Miss Anthony, who meets
her tomorrow. Miss Carpenter and Miss
Harley each made so going out.
Miss Osgood is a favorite over Miss
Anthony, both on account of her steady
playing and from the fact that she had
comparatively easy matches so far, while
Miss Anthony's have been rather trying

Altogether the team is well equipped to

will make determined effort to retain
