Washington. ID. c.
November 30, 1908.

November 30, 1908.
The Hon. Joseph G. Cannon,
commonly called Uncle joe" Speaker
OF the House of Representatives, came
to Washington Tuesday. and aroused
the legislative end of the city near
the Capitol. fiis first act was 10
send to the papers a statement that
he intends TO be honest and thorough
in revising the tariff to suit the peo-
pie.
MIR. Cannon is not only the Speaker
OF the House. but is its boss as
well. He has used his power to
prevent the passing of laws which
President Roosevelt wanted. He ap-
points all the committees and no
bills come before Congress which are
not reported" by committees So
he controls the House absolutely.
Now Mr.. Taft is very anxious for
honest tariff legislation. so he may
try TO have some other man elected
Speaker in order that Congress may
cooperate to some extent with him.
Uncle Joe" declares that he will
not hinder a real change In tariff tax
es. His opponents point out that
when he Is once elected he can de-
eide for himself what fairness and
thorougnness CT revision are and can
snap his fingers at the President
Things look just now as il Cannon
were not going to make even a pre-
tense of purifying the tariff The men
he has put in control, of the Ways
and Means Committee,-Sereno Payne
of New York, Dalzell of Pfttsburg,
etc, all believe in a tariff at least
as high as the present one.
During the past week the steel
and leather men came to Washington
to appear before the Committee. The
steel men admitted that they can
make steel Just as cheaply as foreign
ers, and so foreign-made steel ought
not to have to pay tariff. While
our steel-makers were learning how
to make steel cheaply we made
foreigners gay so that they would have
to charge as much as our steel-makers
and the latter could stay in business.
We paid more for our steel than II
we had let the foreign stet. in free.
But now American steel makers do
not need the protection OF the tariff
and II this tax is taken off we win
not have to pay SO much for plcws.
