A "SOUARE DEAL" WANTED.

Recently The News took occasion to point out that the only re-
vision of the tariff that can be made at this time without menacing
the business and industrial prosperity of the country is a revision
that will remove the unfair burdens now placed upon the commerce
of our new insular possessions, particularly the Philippines. Secre-
tary Taft in his regent address before the Commercial club of Kansas
City, took a similar view, although he was not discussing the ques-
ton of a general revision of the tariff. He declared the legislation
by congress concerning the Philippines to be harsh and unjust and in
support o. his claim cited the coastwise navigation act, under which
all freight between the archipelago and the United States must be
transported in American ships after July I, 1906.
He also fatty condemned the imposition of scventy-hve per cent.
of the Dingley rates upon Philippine products imported into the
United States as oppressive, unfair and unustihable. The COAST
wise act, as he declared. was designed with the purpose of promoting
the interest of the American merchant marine, but as a matter of fact
it would accomplish no such end. The imposition of a tax on Philip
pine products coming into this country is intended to prevent Philip
pine competition in certain products-sugar and tobacco-which are
common to both the Philippines and the United States.
Secretary Taft expressed his strong conviction that if the coast
wise act is permitted to become operative and the duties on Philip
pine products are not removed, congress will assume the utterly in
defensbe position that for the purposes of the sale of Philippine
products by the Fiipinos the Philippines are to be treated as foreign
marine they are to be regarded as domestic territory and, therefore,
to be compelled to pay the highest freight rates which the coastwise
act necessarily entails.
This is plain and sound talk. Moreover, it is significant, int
asmuch as it can be fairly assumed to express the sentiment of the
administration. 1t is a promising indication that President Roose-
Welt is determined to do his utmost TO secure a square deal for the
Philippines and in that endeavor he will have as united support as he
will receive in safeguarding the principles of protection from the
assaults of free traders who march under the false colors of tariff
revision.

TO KEEP noNEY OUT OF ELECTIONS.

That there has been awakened a strong sentiment for better
political conditions in New York is evidenced by the efforts being
made to improve the election laws. The city Of New York has for
many years spent large sums of money to secure a free vote and
an honest count. That the money did not always bring the results
desired there is convincing evidence, but without the barriers put i'll
the way of those disposed 10 be dishonest it is impossible to esi-
mate what the results would have been.
Contests for mayor in recent years have been close, sometimes
bitter, but the probabilities are the will Of the people was arrived al.
Owing to abnormal conditions in the recent election there was a
particularly close fight and one Of the apparently defeated candi-
dates made much noise, though it must be admitted he succeeded
in interesting in his charges a number of men who are not generally
counted alarnists. An investigation made by the New York World,
an anti-Tammany paper, which appears to have been impartial,
shows there was an honest count, but that many repeaters voted and
they were not all used TO support any one candidate, either.
Another thing disclosed was that money was used, and it was
intimated, though not directly charged on election day. that much
OF this money came from corporations. Hearst, of course, used his
own money and even his biuerest opponents admit he made the
fullest return Of election expenses ever presented by a candidate.
Men Of prominence, irrespective OF political differences, are holding
conferences for the purpose Of devising some means by which use
Of money at elections will be made more difficult L. Cady Hernck,
who was a candidate against Governor Higgins last year, is one Of
the leaders in this reform movement. Herrick has been a practical
politician and he is now using his knowledge gained in party service
for the good OF the state.
lie tried last winter to do some effective work along this line,
but the chairman OF the New York state Republican committee
checked him. Ex-Aiayor Seth Low presided at a conference of

One OF the CHEF features OF a new law proposed Is the absolute

prohibition OF the taking of contributions for political purposes from
corporations. In view of the insurance investigation Developments
little opposition to this provision is expected.
Another important provision is that conipaign committees must
file statements rs to how the money received by them from candt-
dates is used. There has been an unjust uspicon that a good deal
Of this money reached the pockets OF the members OF committees
and it is believed party committeeman will be only too glad to see
such a provision in the corrupt practice act, as it will enable them
to prove their personal honesty without impairing their modesty'
Corporations have far greater powers, as a rule, than individuals,
and whatever party may be in power it should be in a position TO
deal Justly but also fearlcssy with them. II contributions are received
from such source the party in power must blink at many a thing
that does not square with the principle Of equal treatment OF all.
The example set in New York must ultimately be followed by
other states. When our own assembly meets the usual unstrenuous
DAYS of the first weeks of the session might advantageously be de
voted to the consideration of a bill against corrupt practices at cleo
tions modelled on the line of the measure the Hon. Seth Low of
New York is engaged in framing.
