BEVERIDGE FOR
TARIFF REVISION
Makes Vi9CrO S Speech in
the Indiana State
Convention

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 2.-senator
Beveridge in a vigorous speech at the
first days session Of the Republican
state Convention of Indiana yesterday
afternoon made a vigorous speech de-
Tending the Republican National Ad
ministration, and demanding revision
of the tariff. Senator Beveridge said
in part;
"a do-nothing policy is not Republican
not American. Laurels fade when not re-
freshed by new and noble deeds.
I'VE must revise the Sherman Law. II
is nearly twenty years old in fact and a
century old in spirit 1t penalties dishon-
est combination, and that is right; but also
IL manacles honest business. and that is
wrong. Business is the name for the trade
activities Of the people. Free its hands,
unshackle its feet Only upon the dis
honest let the ball and chain be locked.
Strike only that business which pliers
from the peoples but help all business
that serves the people. Our watchword
is Justice. For the pirates Of business the
yardarm or the plank; but for honest
business the open seas and welcoming
ports
The tariff must be revised Immediately
after the Presidential election. To revise
it now would lock up business for months
Of disaster and doubt. He who would re-
fuse to revise the tariff Immediately after
the Presidential election is too ancient
to be trusted: he who would revise the
tarif on the eve Of the Presidential cleo
ton is too hypocritical to be tolerated.
1.-TWO years ago some OF us began this
fight. We were met with arrogance from
those who think that the world does not
move; from interests whom the tarih
properly protected when it was made but
whom changed conditions now enable to
act like highwaymen to other honest in
terests: from purchased press owned-by
gluttonous CORPORATIONS and by men whose
wealth flowed from obsolete schedules.
But success is now in sight, and. as In
diana led the first charge I'm this battle,
SO let Indiana lead the last charge that
crowns It with victory.
"And let that revision be honest and
businessiike Let experts at once begin
the work of finding out the facts and
making classihcations The man who does
not want experts to find out the facts
does not want the facts found out. Our
classihcations are generation old. They
are so out Of date that three hundred
thousand contests have been decided to
