Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-12-13

Tn a few weeks a determination will be reached as to the nature of the action to be taken by congress on the tariff question says Washington writer. It, of course, is not probable that congress will take up the subject of taxation seriously at the present session. The generally accepted idea is that, if it is to be considered at all before the next presidential campaign, it must passed upon at an extraordin- ary session of the new congress to be held next spring. Should it be post poned until next December, it scarce ly could be disposed of before the be- ginning of the national campaign. Whatever disposition might be made of it then would be certain to prove embarrassing to the party in power. A strong disposition is manifested among the stand-patters to postpone the whole subject until after the campaign of 1908. This, it is pointed out. would afford opportunity for the people, at the national convention, to pass upon the matter, thus determin- ing with definiteness whether or not they want any action. The subject of course, would be a live issue throughout the campaign and, in the end. would be passed upon at the polls.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-12-13
THURSDAY, DEC IS, 1906.

The report of the secretary of az riculture for 1906 contains 8 highly interesting exposition of the national forest policy now taking shape m the development and use of the reserves. The broad principle on which this policy rests ds to secure to all the peo- pie. equitably, through public owner ship of a great natural resource, the fullest and most lasting benefit from it. It is the same principle in accord ance with which the president, in bis message to congress, recommends tine withdrawal and use of the public coal lands. "The withdrawal of these coal lands," writes the presi- dent would constitute policy analogous to that which has been fol lowed in withdrawing the forest lands from ordinary settlement. The coal like the forests, should be treated as the property of the public, and its disposal should be under conditions which would inure to the benefit of the public as a whole." =
