TARIFF REVISION - WHEN?
A Question to Be Answered AT
ter Careful Consideration OF
Facts and Conditions

The Roosevelt policy as to the
Tariff is to defer revision until after
the presidential election. Revision,
of course, will come some time, but
it is the judgemen of the admins
tration that if undertaken before the
election of 1908 it may jeOpardize
Republican success. 1t most GER
tainly would if that involved busl-
ness and industrial depression, as
it usually has in the past, and, ac-
cording to the general belief in busl-
ness circles, would again under sim
liar conditions.
Tn. more Jealous feyisionists,
who, for personal and poltlcal rea.
sons, OF pride of opinion, or a mere
academic inspiration, are eager fol
revision, wantit undertaken immed
iat-iy, Some of them seem to care
little for the political consequences;
others believe it actually would be
Republican party advantage, 1t
is safe to say the great major q
ity of tie armers, and the
industrial and business interests,
are afraid of Tariff changes. They
have not studied American econ
oaic history in vain. While every
thing is prosperous they prefer to
delay legislative tiukering with the
Tariff. Tney argue hat business

take Labor and give 1t the bequest
Of sweetness and dignity.
We believe IN an America that
will eventually spread her wings
over all the helpless and give them
succor, that will scourge the rascal
and lash the knaye and build States
that would protect the innocent,
stimulate the ambitious, and pun
ish the ignorant and the indolent.
We believe in today and Its promise.
We believe that every field that was
ever inviting is still inviting, that
every profession that was ever
worth entering is still alluring, that
every opportunity that ever, still is,
and that every young man who ever
could have amounted to tinker's

carved, systems of communication
yet to be evolved, wonderful inven-

eral charter. The charater would
provide in part that the corporations
could not issue stocks, bonds or
securities without the consent of
the government; that in no case
could these stocks and bonds exceed
the value of the property. This
last provision alone in federal law
would have prevented practically all
OF the combinations and consolida-
tons that have ever been consum-
mated by competitive corporations
engaged in interstate commerce. 1t
would also provide that any railway
official, or agent, who attempted,
either directly or indirectly, to use
the property of the cooperation for
political purposes would be guilty of
crime and punished by imprison-
ment. 1t would also provide that
no railroad could charge a greater

present schedules, and that changes
in rates, whether up or down, or
both, would alarm and to greater
or less degree disturb and harm
business and industrial conditions,
restricting production, decreasing
the employment of labor and dis
couraging capital from investment.
They ask that changes of the Tariff
shall not be undertaken until there
IS concrete evidence of real and
practical necessity for it--Some-
thing tangible than a conclusion
evolved from theory or academic
discussion.
Theories and academic debate,
however, have thor normal place
in the evolution of Tariff. If the
participants would indulge more in
facts and less in visions, the discus
sion would be of greater practical
value. There are two years IN
which to whip-saw the entire policy
of Protection preparatory to form
ulating Tariff plank for the next
natlonalplatform. 1t would be wis
dom and prudehce to utilize thatper
lod both in shaping and ascertaining
the consensus Of the Republican
party upon that subject; then what
ever would be done would be done
with dehberauon and intelligence
after the freest discussion, and with
Two years added experience with
the Dingley Tariff. By that time
those who do not now see the neces'
slty for revision might then be con-
yimed of it, or those who are now
clammoring forlt mightundergo some
modification Of their views. 1t GER
ta;nly would be a wiser policy than
to commit the party, in advance OF
the national convention, to be re-
vised Tariff by legislation whose eff
feet upon the business of the
country is predetermined and which
would be regarded with alarm by
large numbers Of the citizens. If
revision proved disastrous, the Re
publican party would have to meet
the responsibility at the polls il
1908, and perhaps inyoluntariIy be
helping hand in the restoration of
the Democratic party to power.
Furthermore, tie new Congress
just elected was not chosen upon
proposition to revise the Tariff. On
The contrary, with rare exceptions,
the members were elected upon the
administration policy of letting the
Tariff alone until after the presi-
dental election. To try to force
the new Congress into an unwar
ranied attitude On he subject and
thus anticipate and forestall the
Republican National Convention
with its delegates fresh from the
people, would be impoltic. 1t
would be courting unnecessary peril

THE STUBS PLATFORM

Below we give the platform on
which w. r. S,ubbs proposes to run
for the United States Senator
There seems to be nothing wrong
with that Platform from the stana
point of the man who believes IN
cuIbing the rapacity Of the trusts
and a square deal TO all men. MI.
Stubbs has show himself to be a
man of power full of resources and
with the strength of character nee
essa1y to carry out his convictions
to the full extent of his ability.
His sympathies seem to be with the
people as against the corporations
He seems sincere and honest.
He is the head and front of the
anti machine and anti corporation
rule in Kansas. He is their logical
candidate for the senate. Others
may try and are trying to but in
and steal Stubbs thundd, but to him
more than to any other man belongs
the crown Of victory if his idea OF
anti machine aud anti corporation
control prevails.

ferFing 10 .he text OF the statement,
The Democrat with the highest num-,
ber of votes and the Republican hav'
ing the most votes at the primary
election will be entitled 20 have their
names on the iheir party ballots 90 be
voted at the general election Ia June.
This Is a matter OF concern 20 most
candidates for tho legislature. Some
believe they viii obtain more votes by
signing the statement without quail
hcations, while others think the pElvi,
sion should be- added that they will vote
for the mau OF their party who has
the highest vote And 50 the state
will have legislative candidates With
both beliefs.
This is a matter for every candidate
10 decide for himself, AMI after be-
decides IL, be will learn al the pri-
maries what the general run Of voters
desire regarding the statement. Unlil
that time there is no way Of learning
how they stand, and as a matter Of fact
many are as yet undecided,
Personally, the Register is Of the
opinion that the man who signs the
statement will lose some Of the votes
from strict and answering party men,
and on the other hand We judge it is "a
logical conclusion that those who do
not sign IT,, and those who qualify
when signing, will lose votes as Well
SO il appears the candidate is mp
against il whichever way be jumps
IL may be interesting 20 candidates

sign, and that this number is expected
