TARIFF PROGRAMME.
Outlined in a Bill Which Congress
man Fowler VIII Introduce.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Representa-
tive Charles w. Fowler o. New Jersey
has given out statement outlining
the tariff commission bill which he
will introduce in the house of repre-
sentatives. The bill as described by
Mr.. Fowler, provides that congress
shall fix the maximum and minimum
tariff schedule or rates, and that the
members shall, with the approval of
the president, fix the actual rates to
be paid at some point between the
maximum and minimum rates so es-
tablished by congress.
But no rate SO fixed and approved
shall become effective or operative
for eighteen months after having been
promulgated by the president in or
der that every industry affected by
the tariff changes may have ample
time to adjust itself to the new con-
ditions.
eff anyone should suggest" says
Mr.. Fowler. that such a commission
could not constitutionally fix the tariff
rates at any point between the
maximum and minimum rates es-
would be an exercise of legislative
power, let him ask himself whether
the power to fix rates is such stretch
of legislative poweg as that given to
the Interstate Commerce commission,
and approved by the supreme court,
Returning to his attack upon the
present control of congress, Mr..
Fowler declares it to be perfectly
clear that unless the Republican
party gets rid of Aldrichism and
Cannonism, the people will get rid of
the Republican party"
No More Pocket Picking.
He asserts that the peoples hopes
have been turned to disgust and their
faith to resentment, and he says he
does not believe that they will permit
Mr.. Aldrich ito pick their pockets
through the legerdemain of Words
righteous indignation and punitive
wrath as about to 1'strike. shatter
and paralyze the Republican party
unless it utterly repudiates A1drichism
and its subservient complement. Can
nonism."
Impending defeat an the loss of
the next house of representatives Mr..
Fowler says. can be avoided only aby
emblazonfng on our party banners
these pledges:
First, we are against Aldrichism
and Cannonism.
Second, we demand tariff revision
hereafter by evolution AMI not revolu-
ton.
Third, we demand tariff revision
based upon ascertained facts, and not
upon selfish trades and corrupt agree
ments.
Fourth. we demand a permanent,
broad and responsible tariff COM
mission. which shall ascertain
these facts. obviate trade wars and
assist in securing and retaining the
good will and friendship of all ma
tions by wise. just and advantageous
trade treaties.''

AVIATOR KILLED.
Ills Motor ExpIodes When at a Height
of 1850 Feet.

Nice, France, Dec. en-. Fernan-

was crushed to splinters.
Fernandez, though popularity ranked
as French aviator, was of Spanish
birth. He learned the trade of tailor
and was engaged in this work when he
became interested in the possibilities of
flying.
Today's sensational ascent took the
flying world by surprise. While the
height attained by him can only be
estimated it is believed to have been
not less than 500 meters and so to have
equalled and possibly exceeded the Of
fetal worlds record.
NJ. Fernandez participated in the
aviation contests at Rheims last Au-
guest. but his performances there at
tracted no special attention. At that
time he was operating a biplane.
Fernandez is the third man to be kill
ed in motor power aeroplane. The
first fatality was the death of Lieuten-
ant Selfridge, while flying as a pas
:onger with Orville Wright at Fort
ldyer in September, 1908. z. Lefe-

NOT IN FOR CONGRESS
Said Less Than a Day Before
He Was.
Accuses "Machine'' Men OF Try
ing to Force Him In.

In regard to the State Journal an
nouncement last Saturday of his can
didacy for congress in the Fourth dis
trict. Attorney General Jackson gave
out the following statement TO the
Sunday morning papers:
'I have not decided to be a candi-
date. I am not now a candidate. l
am not prepared to say when any an
nouncement will be made even If
there should be an announcement.
There. is no more grounds for the
| statement that I have decided to be
| a candidate, now than there has
been at any time. 1 don't know what
will do, but if the machine
politicians and newspapers continue
their present policy they may force
me into the race"
lures in connection with this state
ment Of the attorney general. He
says he has not yet decided to be a
candidate. Yet he said last Friday
that he had made up his mind and
would enter the race. Saturday, when
printed that day. the attorney general
went up in the air. and denied it.
Then later in the day he told the
writer of the article in question to
the issue and made history in the
case. l was not ready yet for this an
nouncement and would have pre-
ferred to have given it out myself. |
will not make any statement or denial
at this time
Last Friday half dozen persons
knew for a certainty that Mr.. Jackson
had positively decided to enter the
congressional race against Miller and
that his announcement would be out
in a few days. They still know that
this is the case. His announcement
will be made inside of a few weeks
at the outside. Then why this denial
which is not a denial? Why is he
beating about the bush?
He says again in the remarka BILE
statement above: 'I don't know what
will do, but if the machine politi-
clans and newspapers continue their
present policy they may force me into
the race What in the world does
Mr.. Jackson mean by such an utter
ance? The politicians who are trying
to force him into the congressional
race are Gov. Stubbs Senator Bris-
tow, William Allen White and a half
dozen other square deal chieftains.
The politicians who are trying to
keep him out of the congressional
race in order to use him to make
medicine against Stubbs and square
deal harmony are machine politicians.
. And two of these latter were with Mr..
Jackson Saturday working like Tro-
jams to get him to deny the State
Journal article.
The State Journal has never tried
to get Mr.. Jackson into the congress
per devoted two columns of space the
other day to showing the pity of it,

Down TO BED ROCK
Estimates Of Appropriations for
Next Fiscal Year
Are Based on the Actual Needs
of the Government.
NO PADDING THIS TIME
A General Cut Has Been Made
Wherever Possible.
Total Is $1O3,37O,3O3 Less Than
for Current Year.

Washington, Dec. 6.-That there
has been careful scrutiny of the es-
Inmates of appropriations for the fis-
cal year ending June 80. 1911, is
shown by the figures submitted to the
house of representatives today by Sec
retary of the Treasury Macveagh.
The grand total of estimates for
1911, is s732,223.075, which is s103.
37O,303 less than the appropriations
for the current fiscal year and $123,-
1854 under the estimates submit
ted year ago for 1910. A general
cut has been made wherever possible
and new work authorized only where
regarded as absolutely necessary.
Heretofore it has been the practice
of departmental officers to pad the
estimates with the expectation that
they would be materially reduced be-
fore being finally passed by congress.
AS soon as President Taft came
into office he directed that this prac-
tice be discontinued and gave notice
to the members of his cabinet that in
the future all estimates must be sub
mitted on the basis of the actual
needs and requirements of the SER
vice.
The result is, the officials say that
the figures submitted today are down
to bed rock and will bear the closest
examination by the appropriation
committee of both houses of congress
Large reductions in the estimates, as
compared with the appropriations for
the current year. are:
The Big Reductions.
I'm the treasury department. a de-
crease of $12. 100000 for public works;
in the war department about $6,0O0,-
600 in the military esta blishment
made up of decreases in the estimates
for regular supplies, construction
works for the army, mounted equip
ment, transportation, ordnance and
manufacture of arms, and $2,50O, 600
for public works, exclusive of the
Panama canal
In the navy department decrease of
$26,000,000 due partly to the fact that
secretary Myer has not asked for any
money for new ships and that only
81, 1000, 00e is requested for armor and
armament as against an appropriation
OF $12,452, 600 for this year. :
In the postoffice department a re-
duction of $5,000,O00 in the estimated
deficiency in the postal revenues; and
IN the department of commerce and
labor a decrease from $10,00O,O0O to
$2,000,000 is on account of the thir-
teenth census.
On the other hand there is an in
crease of nearly $15,000,OOO for 18TH
