WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-President.
elect Taft-is boldly announcing that he
will fight all along the line for an
honest and thorough revision OF the
tariff. says Walter Wellman. in a dis

President-elect Taft believes that

New York. and under the absolute con.
troll of Speaker Cannon, is engaged IT,
farcical performance. He is con.
vinced that ii is not proceeding with
careful. painstaking. well matured
policy that will result in such a re-
vision as will satisfy the country. Mr..
Taft is not insistent that any particu-
lar rate or schedule OF rates shall be
lowered or raised. but he does insist
that the platform pledges Of his party
shall be honored. He stands for the
true principle of protection as written
into the Chicago platform; that OF

NO GENERAL
CHARTER REVISION
BUT SEVERAL CHANGES WILL BE
SUBMITTED WHEN MACHiN-
cry is PROVIDED.

There Will be no general revision
OF the charter OF the city OF Detroit
This seems 10 be the consensus or
opinion among those who have stud
led the question. few changes will
be submitted TO popular vote by the
council after the legislature has pro
vided the proper machinery
One OF these Will be a plan to re-
place the present. one-man police com
missioner, with four-men board OF
police commissioners This idea has
found favor with the Republican ma
jority who declare that control OF the
police department in partisan sense
Is two-edged sword with the back
swinging edge rather the sharper.
Charles n. Culver who ran as a
Democratic candidate for the mayoral
nomination. Is MENTIONED as one OF
the possible Democratic appointees in
case such board Is created.
IL suppose we shall have to have a
special election every time any change
In the charter In suggested now" says
AID Heineman. The way OF getting
things from the legislature will be re.
GREETED somewhat Ii was very easy
for the city to get what was needed
there. The trouble arose from meas
ures being passed quickly and quietly
sometimes before anyone knew what
was coming.
Every now and then someone gets
the idea that the whole charter ought
to be revised Most OF them do not
know what they want to revise in IT,
This clamor for revision will die
away; in fact, there is nothing To it
anyway, and we shall make such
changes as seem necessary from time
to time"
