CONVINCED TAFT
HOUSE LEADERS ALSO PROMISE
HONEST REvlsloN-rs NOW
AFTER THE SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Willilanl
II. Taft the presidenretecr, said tut.
it was his belief that the House Of
Representatives would make an "hon.
est and thorough revision of the tar.
if" at the extra session which he is
10 call for that purpose upon his in.
auguration as president.
This belief he bases on a conference
he had with Speaker Joseph G. Can.
non and with a session with the Re.
publican members Of the Ways and
Means Committee OF the House Of
Representatives.
Mr.. Taft said he had not as yet con.
suited with members OF the Senate on
the subject, indicating at the same
time the tremendous pressure upon Ills
time since he mad benin Washington
as the reason. When the suggestion
was made that the Senate would lin.
doubtelly have something TO do with
the tariff bill after the House had pass.
ed 1t, he replied with no uncertainty
in his demeancr that there was also
someone else who would have some.
thing to do with the bill, which, inter.
preted through the medium Of preyl-
GUS utterances, indictes clearly that
Mr., Taft is determined even to the cx.
ercise of the veto power to prosecute
the pledges Of the party.
canncn's Sincerity
Judge Taft dictated statement
which covered his Interview late to-day
with the Republican members of the
committee with the exception Of Rep.
resentatives Mccall (Mass.) and Crum.
packer (Ind9. With the latter mem,
Der Mr.. Taft had a recent satisfactory
interview at Hot Springs. After he
has finished his statement, ne was ask.
ed the substance Of the interview he
had yesterday with the Speaker. His
reply was that Mr.. Cannon had said
that he was in favor OF an honest and
thorough revision Of the tariff in ac.
cord with the party promises. The
question OF the sneakersfip of the next
Congress, Mr.. Taft said. was not dis
cussed, but many other matters Of
legislation were, of which he prefer,
red not to give details at this time. He
added that'he had been somewhat mis-
led regarding his Interpretation Of the
attitude Of the Speaker by the press
reports of Mr.. Cannon speech in No
Nember before the Cleveland Chamber
of comerce. The official report OF thai
speech, he said, had gwen htm an en-
tirely different Impression,
