TARIFF REVISION.
Representative Lester Expects No Leg
islation Next Winter.

Tariff revisionists and advocates OF reel
procity will be surprised at the attitude
taken by Representative Lester of Georgia
in relation to any change In the present
tariff schedules. Mr.. Lester expressed the
opinion in interview that the democrats
of the south will be Ver..' conservative In
adopting any position in favor of revision
or reciprocity tha; will tend to lower the
tariff duties.
Whenever the subject of the tariff has
been under discussion revisionists and those
who favor reciprocity treaties have counted
upon the votes Of the southern democrats
matter cf course Tney have regarded
the southern democrats as not only low
tariff men, but at heart free traders, ex
cept in those restricted localities where in
dustries have sprung up in recent years to
receive direct benefit from the tariff, the
continuance of which really depends upon
the continuance of the tariff in some de-
gree.
Because of this view of the situation 1t
has never been regarded of any i'm
portance to discuss the. probable attitude
of the southern democrats. But Mr. Les
ter declares with. confidence that the south
ern democrats will te slow in adopting any
policy favoring the lowering of the tariff.
He Expresses the opinion that there will
be no tariff legislation during the coming
winter. He says he knows there will be
a great deal of talk about revising the ;ar
it, but when the tina comes to do it he
does not expect anything to be done

much to interest him and has collected
material which he believes viii be OF VAL

PRESIDENTS RETURN
CHIEF EXECUTIVE NOW WORK.
ING ON ANNUAL MESSAGE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


OYSTER BAY, N. Y, September 90
President Roosevelt will spend from now
until next Saturday. when he leaves oys-
ter Bay for Washington, hard at work upon
his annual message to Congress. While
much of 1t he cannot we'll put into final
shape before discussing the various points
and recommendations he is to make with
the members of his cabinet he is busily
collecting his material and writing out
full synopsis of all the subjects to which
he intends to allude =
That the President will advocate the fed
eral control of life insurance companies ap-
pears certain beyond a doubt. At various
times this summer he has taken council
upon this question with Paul Morton. presi-
dent Of the Equitable Life Insurance Com
pany; Senator John F. Dreyden, president
of the Prudential, who, at the last session
of Congress. introduced a bill into the Sen
ate providing for governmental control of
life insurance; James NJ. Beck. formerly
assistant attorney general, and now one of
the counsels for the Mutual Life. all emf
nent authorities upon insurance matters,
and only last week the President threshed
out the whole problem afresh with Elihu
Root, Secretary of State; Joseph Choate
and Senator Lodge.
The one big stumbling block In the way
of the enactment of such legislation Is the
possibility of the Supreme Courts failing
to uphold it's constitutionality.
Other questions upon which the President
Will touch in his message are the foreign
relations of Venezuela and the fiscal affairs
of Santo Domingo. 1t is also expected that
he will advocate the negotiations on the
part of the United States of several new
commercial treaties. If present plans are
held to President Roosevelt and his fam
lily will leave here for Washington by
special train at II am on next Saturday
morning.
