REMEDIAL lEsISlAIInN.

Reports have been sent out from Hot
Springs that President-eleet Taft has
marked out program of remedial leg
islation to be enacted. during his admin
istration. The main features are:
Tariff revision at an extra session of
Congress to be called about March 18th.
1909.
Amendment of the Sherman anti
trust law, so that railroads NAV make
rate agreements under strict supervi-
sion of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
A law putting limitation on the is
suance of interstate bonds and stocks.
A law defining particular cases in
which temporary restraining orders
may issue without notice and prescrib-
ing proceedings limiting their operation
to the very shortest day.
Such amendments to the law organ
izing the Bureau of Corporations as
shall require certain large corporations
doing an interstate commerce business
to submit to the scrutiny and examina-
ton of agents of the Federal govern
ment.
A law reorganizing the Department
OF Justice, the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Department of
Commerce and Labor in respect to the
jurisdiction exercised by them over in
terstate corporations, both railroads and
others. 1t is Mr.. Taft's idea that the
three departments should work harmo-
niously, so that no one shall be going
over ground covered by another and Sc
that there shall not be conflict of au.
thorlty. While he has not mapped out
such a law definitely, it can be said tina,
the general idea is that the Bureau OF
Corporations shall exercise an examin.
ing Jurisprudence, the Department OF
Justice shall act as prosecutor onlv anc
the Interstate Commerce Commission
shall act as a sort of Grand Jury, will
quasi judicial powers.
Reform in the monetary and banking
systems of the country.
Conservation of the natural resource.
OF the country, including the Appalach
ian forest reserve bill.
improvements of rivers and harbors
This is splendid program, and will
be responsive to the Republican plat
form and policies announced during tn,
recent campaign. Under the guidanc,
of Mr. Taft these laws when made will
stand the test of both the courts anc
enlightened public sentiment.

The IaEsnese Notes.
Philadelphia Press.

rnllaoelpnla Press.
The notes exchanged between our
Government and Japan prove on publi-
cation TO fall far short of "a treaty. of
offensive and defensive alliance as
they have been characterized by a
japanese newspaper. Our Government
is not the least likely to enter upon such
an agreement and could not do so If il
would, without the consent of the Sem
ate. The avoidance of "entangling for
eign alliances" as earnestly recon-
mended by George Washington, have
been the consistent policy Of our Gov
eminent from the beginning.
The five notes are merely an expreS-
sion by both the American and Jaoar-
csc Governments of good will towards
each other and an announcement of the
policies which they have in common TO
maintain the independence of China.
and equal opportunity for commerce
and industry in that kingdom, and TO
respect each others territories. Should
ANYTHING happen to disturb the status
quo the governments of the two coun-
tries are to communicate with each
other.
No doubt this will all be laid before
the Senate and that body, though it
may fad in it much to discuss, will have
before it no treaty to confirm. Our
Secretary of State is indeed limited iu
power and discretion if he cannot, with
out consulting the Senate, inform a
foreign government that the United
States intends to maintain its policies
previously announced to all the world:
that 1t intends to keep the peace and
that 1T has nothing but good will to-
wards the country whose government
he is addressing.
The Japanese are in some respects a
peculiar people and our Cover nment
finds that they call for special treat
ment. This is not because of their hos
tillty to the United States, but because
they are morbidly sensitive and suspi-
cious, and the United States is the one
nelghbor with whom they see the posi-
billties of conflict and Of trouble. They
are disposed to ascribe to US an ambi
ton and design which are nonresident.
Mr.. Taft did much to disabuse their
minds of these fears when on his visit
there. Secretary Roots exchange of
notes will do more.
Some Senators may think that thew
ought to have been consulted before
the Secretary expressed himself IN such
reassuring manner to the japanese. If
there is anything in this view it can be
threshed out in secret executive session
without disturbing the calm and peace
of the Pacific.

SOAP BUBBLE LOGIC.

An import duty which is protective
is also practically prohibitive of impor-
tations. So the apparent tax does not
add cent to the revenues of the Gov
eminent but is collected by the manu-
facturer in the shape of increased
prices to the home consumer. Nor ia
the aggregate wealth of the country at
all increased. The only effect-is to d.
vert the stream Of gold from many
natural into a few artificial channels.
There is no solid basis to prosperity
which is not diffused through all the
strata of society. The community
which is governed in the interest of a
class is cheated of its rights. Norfolk
Virginian-P
This is the kind of soap bubble logic
which the antiquated free trader uses
when assailing a protective tariff. 1t
is about as up-to-date as the free trader
ever gets. The argument that the n.y.

The Richmond Dispatch and
other Southern newspapers are severely
crlticisiDg the business men and repre-
sentatives in Congress from the South
who are advocating a protective tariff
for the agricultural and manufactured
products of this section. They declare
that such position is undemocratic
and they question the Democracy of
those who hold it.

We strongly suspect the integrity of
Mr.. Csrnegie's proposal that iron and
steel products be put upon the free list.
1t may be that the steel trust has so ar
ranged its connections with the steel
manufacturers of Europe that it will be
able to crush out independent competi-
tors both at home and aboad. The safe
line of policy, in our judgment, in re-
vising the tariff will be to place a
proper protective tariff on everything
produced or manufactured in the United
States.

We haven't noticed that any member
OF the late Constitutional Convention is
advocating a repeal of the poll tax
qualification for voting. No doubt
these gentlemen are unwilling to admit
that they were the authors of such dis
graceful and unpopular legislation.

count by the people for the partisan

Public Sentiment Demands RepsaI.

=
Richmond Journal.
The Norfolk Ledger-D Dispatch thinks
the public has about reached the con.
clusion that the poll tax voting require
ment must go. 1t says:
Nearly two years ago this paper
urged the repeal of the poll tax. and
the provisions of its payment six
months in advance. 1t warned the
Democratic party that this poll tax
would work damage, and we predicted
1.-TWO years ago. that this tax would be
repealed in five years.
ut will take longer probably than
the three years to amend the Constitu-
ton in this regard, but all the indi-
cations are that public sentiment is
centering in opposition to the Doll tax
provisions, and the constantly declining
votes in the State along with the delav
In the Supreme Court as to personal
payment of the tax, has about put the
public in mind to repeal the whole
thing"
The strongest element arrayed against
the present law is the average citizen of
conviction and means, who objects to
being deprived of his vote through the
operation of trick provision that re-
quires not only payment of the poll tax
for three years, but payment 1870 DAVIS
ahead of an election. Some of the most
substantial men in every community In
Virginia su fer Acknowledgement
through the operation of this increas-
ingly unpopular constitutional pro-
vision.
The law is bound to be changed in
response to the best and most disinter-
ested sentiment in the State. The
Democrats are held responsible, and
the demand for its repeal is to Demo
Gratis. In the interval, the Republi-
cans are ION the outside looking in"-
and waiting.

A Novel Proposition.
Knoxville Journal and Tribune.

hnOAVIl'e journal and Tribune.
A prominent Georgian comes to the
front with novel political proposition,
regarding the future course of the
South. He assumes that the Southern
States have been hewers of wood and
drawers of water quite long enough for
the Democratic party and suggests a
new departure.
His suggestion is that the South de-
cline to have anything to do with the
next national Democratic convention.
that it send no delegates. and that the
legislatures of the states elect, az they
may under the Constitution, their rem
resentatives in the Electoral College.
These electors are to be chosen without
reference to any particular candidate,
and when the time comes to act it is
suggested that they use their combined
power to elect the man to the presidency
who they have reason to believe will do
the most for the interest of this section.
In answer to the criticism that such a
plan would make the South altogether
sectional, he assumes that it is sectional
already; but that in acting quadren-
nially as a tail to the Democratic kite
it accomplishes nothing except as tail.
This is not his own language, but it ex-
presses what he seems to mean. His
thought is to have the South free from
the dictations of what is called the ns-
tional Democratic party towards which
party the South sustains the relation of
4 Door relative.

Some of the Democratic newspapers
Of Virginia are advocating the holding
OF State convention of the party at a
very early date for the purpose of out
lining a program and policy for the
campaign of 1909. They now see
that the outrages perpetrated by the
Constitutional Convention, and Demo
cratic Legislatures held under the new
Constitution, are making bad impress
sion upon the masses of the people.
