JUSTICE THE NEED OF THE HOUR

SUNDAY, AUGUST II. 1907



Senator Lodge has been smoked out at
last In an address to Republican club
at Nantaslset Point, the Senator tackled
the questions Of tariff revision and the re-
duction of the surplus neither Of which
seemed 10 him at all important. Tariff
revision. in the Senator's opinion. would
DE q good thing to postpone until the Re
publican party can md time to deal With
il at its leisure. while as TO the surplus.
why. that is rather q fine thing, and if il
gets too big, We might pay of some OF
the government debt with it, Should any
one object that bond redemption would
knock the underpinning from the national
banking system the Senator has glib
reply. 1t would be better If the bank
circulation were based on the gold re-
serve Nothing could be easier.
Nevertheless, the Senator admits that
the national revenue and expenditure
should be more evenly balanced. a great
surplus is not desirable" Depositing the
public money IN the national banks is not
for the greatest good" But the situa-
ton is not alarming; It IS even pleasur-
able to contemplate an overlooking public
Treasury. SO the Senator is not impressed
with the necessity of doing anything soon
TO reduce tariff taxation. or of taking any
steps to lessen the drain upon the none
tary resources Of the country involved in
locking up $50 10000 of solid cash. In
fact, the Senator thinks this money Is as
good as in the hands of the people, mas
much as much of il is placed in banks
But he cannot deny that it is not in the
pockets Of the people from whom tt was
taken, not to pay the expenses Of the
government. for it is not required tor that
purpose, but simply because Mr.. Lodge
and those who stand pat with him are
afraid TO touch the tariff.
There is a grain Of consolation in Sena-
tor Lodges position with respect to the
tariff, and that is his willingness 20 revise
it at some future time, with a saving
clause that the revision should be under
taken with entire fidelity to the great
principle OF protection" 1t would be wise
TO revise the tariff after March 4. 1853. the
Senator thinks and we can wait until
that time to deal with the surplus. WHY
q
revision on the eve Of a Presidential
campaign, and because revision would
not tend to restore the business conf
dence which is just now somewhat i'm
paired. These are the old and familiar
excuses. They will be just as valid and
Just as useful in 1863 as now, if Senator
Lodge and his friends are unwilling by
that time 10 undertake the job OF revision.
President Roosevelt thought it was time
TO revise the tariff Immediately after his
election in 1904, but was restrained by the
standpatters of his party. It will take a
pretty stif guarantee to convince the
American people that similar hold-up is
not likely to occur after the next Presi-
Dental election. If revision is a good
thing for 1909. why not now. when it is
badly needed2

MAKING A NEW TARIFF.
Sectional Interests Strengthen the
Hand of PrOtectiOnlsts.

Hand of PrOtectiOnIsts.
From the Boston Transcript
All who have seen a tariff made. and
all who have acquainted themselves with
the various sections Of the country. know
that the question is not merely one Of
parties but one of Industries as we'll.
Thus. while the South may give adherence
10 the general proposition that duties as
whole are too high, it may be counted
on to file objections that would be ef-
fective against any reduction of the
schedules relating to cotton manufactur-
ing or It's iron industry
The trend Of Southern business thought
is changing rapidly, and could the South
divorce itself from politics long enough 20
consider our fiscal policy from practical
standpoint II would develop. probably. a
protective sentiment that would surprise
those who have formed their conception
of our tariff needs from the political
South as seen on political occasions. For
instance. Southern Senator was ap-
preached not long ago by representatives
Of the marble business IN his State, who
appealed TO him to do something to bring
about an increase Of duty. for their en-
coura cement and protection. On his re-
minding them that the Vermont idea pre-
dominated in our present marble sched-
ules, he was told that the Vermont idea
might answer very well for that State in
which the business had long been estab-
lished but in the South ii was a new in
dustry and entitled TO higher protection
than is at present granted to it.
The West also has a strong sentiment
for tariff revision, but It would look as
kance at any proposition affecting Western
industries, while convinced that the pro-
lection enjoyed by those Of the East is
altogether too high. Thus. the West
clings &c the hide duty. notwithstanding
that it yields neither protection nor reve-
nue.. because it regards it as a card in
its hand in the tariff game that it sees

Solving Trafic Problems.

The traffic problem. which Is becoming
increasingly difficult in London. is being
solved TO some extent by the use Of motor
buses. Last year 500 of these, operated
by twenty-five companies. carried 1S4000.-
900 passengers about 10000 a day, for an
average fare of about a cent mile. Dur
ing the same period the street railways of
London carried 100000 fewer passengers.
This new device for caring for the traffic
has earned for its projectors from to 10
per cent on an investment of $500, 600.
No American city has such a system as
yet. but ia thought that the example
OF London aid Paris could be followed
with eXcellen, results in New York and
Chicago. The advantages of the system
are obvious; no franchise for the use OF
the streets is required. In case Of a
blocked street the motor buses may go
around the block not being absolutely
tied down to regular routes.
