Tariff Reform the Issue

A little over year ago, President
Roosevelt stated in his message to
congress that he would later have
something to say to that body on the
tariff. Peradventure he has forgotten
that public promise, or perchance the
political conditions have made it in
advisable to redeem it. Maybe the
strenuous standpat speaker has
shown the president that a Republi-
can congress can never be brought to
pass any real tariff reform bill and it
would breed a schism in the Repub-
lican party to attempt it. So there
will be no extraordinary session of
congress after March to consider
tariff reform, and those Republican
members of congress who promised
their constituents at the last election
that the Republican party and Presi-
dent Roosevelt could be relied upon
to revise the tariff will have to face
the trust-plundered voters and. beg
them to wait again. AS it Is settled
that the present standpat Republican
ring will control the next congress
and not allow their friends, the, trusts
and corporations, to be disturbed,
there can be, no escape from contin-
ued. trust high prices until the con-
gress which will be, elected at the ma
tional election in 1908 meets for busi-
ness.
If the Republicans elect the next
there will be no: extra ses-
sion after March 4, 19Oss but if the
Democrats are successful there will
undoubtedly be an extraordinary ses-
sion. called to consider tariff at the
earliest date possible.
s So the issue of tariff reform is from
low on squarely before the voters
and it is up to them to read, mark,
earn and inwardly digest the tariff |
md trust questions and vote accord
ng to the decision they arrive at.

FOR STATES RIGHTS
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN CON-
DENNIS GENERALIZATION
Enlargement of the Powers Of the
Federal Government a Danger to
the Nation-Great Corpora
tions Behind Ii.

William Jennings Bryan and Sena.
tor Beveridge appear in printed de.
bate on the subject of states rights, in
the Reader Magazine. Mr.. Bryan goes
into careful statement of the differ
ing theories held by statesmen Of the
constitutional period and follows this
with a discussion of issues of the day,
in which these paragraphs are promi-
| nent:
IF the time has come for obliterating
state lines and consolidating all au-
thority, legislative, judicial and execu-
tive, at Washington, it can be done by
constitutional amendment whenever
three-fOurths Of the states are willing
to ratify such an amendment. But is
there any demand for a surrender by
the states of the powers reserved to
them? On the contrary, every rea-
son which existed 118 years ago ex-
lists now, and those reasons are even
stronger than they formerly were,
because Of the increase in the area
and population of the nation.
The demand for the enlargement of
the powers of the federal government
comes from two sources, viz, from
those who believe with Hamilton in
the theory of Capitalization, and from
those who want legislation which the
states rights doctrine Obstructs. Of
these two classes the last is most in
fuential, because the members of this
class impart to their method the
strength supplied by the object aimed
at. An abstract theory seldom pro-
vokes discussion. but wars have been
fought over a theory embodied in a
concrete issue.
First there is the effort to secure
the national incorporation of railway
and industrial enterprises. Those who
desire this hope for an act of con-
gress and a favorable court decision
sustaining it. They could hardly hope
for the adoption of an amendment to |
the constitution. The national incor- !
poration of business enterprises is |
sought in order to avoid state courts |
and state regulation, but in view of |
the growing sentiment against mo-
nopolies the subject will hardly reach |
the courts, for it is not likely that a |
majority of congress can be brought !
to favor any enlargement of the power |
OF commercial corporations.
"A systematic absorption of power
by the federal government would not |
only cause discomfort and weaken the |
Of the people for the gov
ernment, but a withdrawal of power
from the state would breed indiffer-
ence to public affairs-the forerunner
of despotism. .s ~.

F Representative w. Charles Adam.

scheme thai he has undertaken it is
not unlikely that the boarding house
mistresses Of Washington will appeal
to the president to invoke the aid of
the bureau of corporations in break
ing a gigantic combination composed
of senators and representatives. Mr.
AdamsOn is trying to organize among
senators an association the members
Of which will pledge themselves to
pay just so much and no mre for
board, for house rent, for midday
lunches and after theater dinners. In
a word his association will fix a
maximum price for every necessary
of life for a representative during his
stay at the national capital.
Representative Adamson says he is
meeting with encouragement from
members he has approached and he
hopes to launch his association next
session. He says 200 members will
be necessary for the success of his
undertaking and he adds that when
orce the association gets in working
