ACCOUNTING

Of Adams county, who is looking after

that the plan endorsed by the county

editing it out of the way of the bill
which is now being considered, and
which is drawn very similar to the
Ohio law, which is said to have proven
an unqualified success.

Discussion will centre largely on
the two tariff commission bills pend
ing in congress, one introduced in the
senate by Mr.. Beveridge of Indiana
and the other offered in the house by
Mr.. Fowler of New Jersey
A majority of the delegates to to-
days convention apparently favor the
measure of the Indiana scion, and ii
is also declared that Mr.. Taft will
give his influence to that bill in pref
erence to the one formulated by the
New Jersey congressman.
In the Beveridge bill to Great tar
if commission there is no power
given to the body to fix rates. Sena-
tor Beveridge, in speaking of the leg
islation which he favors, said
'The commission is kept strictly to
the task of gathering facts and MAX
ing clear classifications; the first is
expert investigating work, the second
expert clerical work Neither is prop
erly legislative work. In short, by
this bill the commission is an assist
ant of congress, a servant and clerk
of congress. 1t is to congress, as a
whole, what his secretary is to each
member of congress; it is necessary
to congress for the same reason that
the secretary is necessary to each
member"
Representative Fowler, who is
chairman of the house committee on
banking and currency, has introduced
his tariff commission measure, which
gives to the members of the commits
sion right to fix rates, a power
which Mr.. Taft declares to be uncOn-
stitutional, and as the president elect
may be supposed to be an authority
on questions of the constitutiOnalty
of legislation, it is probable that his
views will have great weight with
congress. In short, the Beveridge bill
seems to have the better start in the
matter of legislative and administra-
tive favor.
It is entirely probable that Mr.. Fow-
Ter understood thoroughly that the
question of the constitutionality Of the
rate fixing provision in his bill would
be raised. He provides that congress
shall establish maximum and mini
mum tariff schedules, but that the
commission shall fix the rate of duty
"to be paid upon all imports; but in
no case shall the rates so fixed by the
commission be less than the maximum
rates or more than the maximum
rates established by congress.
AS it appears, the Fowler bill, While
recognizing the sole right of con-
gress to fix rates absolutely, yet gives
the commission. the power to fix the
rates, provided it does not go above
or below the figures named by the leg
islators, as the high and low duties.
Practically, it would seem, therefore
that the commission can do pretty
much as it chooses with the schedules
under the Fowler measure, and there
by exercise a legislative function.

TALKING TARIFF
AT INDIANAPOLIS

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Feb 10
What is declared bv President James
w Van Cleve. of the National Manu-
facturers' association. to be the first
national gathering ever held for the
express purpCse of promoting the
movement for comprehensive, scien-
tific tariff revision was opened in
Indianapolis today The delegates in
clude officials of national. state and
city commercial organizations all over
the country. Scores of such bodies
have formally indorsed the tariff
commission ideas and the present con-
vention, which will continue through
tomorrow and Thursday, will likely
have an important bearing on the
work of the special session of con-
gress which will convene next month
to revise the tariff Chairman Henry
Rosenberg has received a letter from
President-e elect Taft endorsing the
convention and it's objects.
The convention has not been called
to endorse any particular tariff COM
mission bill, or to attempt in any way
to influence the fixing of duties by
congress at the extraordinary session
to be held in the spring and early
summer. 1t is convention for the
purpose of stimulating interest in the
tariff as business proposition rather

Where can find the big St-a-a-w-s
in dis town? Amt dey sposed TO be on
dis. Street?'
The busy, busy business man stopped
abruptly in front of the biggest mer-
camille es ablishment in Walla Walla
yesterday afternoon, as the above
query, from demure little chorus lady
Of the Ben Hur'' troupe reached his
ears He looked down at the fair one,
raised one toe, leading the heel resting
on the concrete walk: stroked his chin
thoughtfully, and glanced about to see
if his wife were watching him.
1t was a real scene in real life, but
the situation seemed to present a lu-
dicrous aspect to the business man,
and he laughed-a big, hearty "Haw
Haw" that might have been heard
above the din of an approaching in err
urban car. The little lady, whose
walk proclaimed the fact that she had
been acquainted with Benjamin for
some length of time, looked hurt; in
fact, her facial expression was so
panied that the big man of the world
immedia ely relented, and a moment
later the foot-lght damsel wendell her
way through the crowd to a millinery
establishment to where 1887 hats were
marked down in the window at $3.50.

Should Care for
DeDendent Children

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-President
Roosevelt has submitted to congress
his special message on Care of De-
pendent Children" which was inspir-
ed by the recent conference on the
care of dependent children. In the
message President Roosevelt says:
at is not only discreditable to us
as n people that there is now no rec
pgnized and authoritative source of
information upon these subjects re-
Iating to child life, but in the absence
OF such information as should be sup
piled by the federal government many
abuses have gone unchecked; for pub
lie sentiment, with it's great correc-
tive power can only be aroused by
full knowledge Of the facts. In addi-
ton to such information as the census
bureau and other existing agencies of
the federal government already pro-
vide there remains much to be ascer-
tanned through lines Of research not
now authorized by law; and there
should be correlation and dissemina-
tion of the knowledge obtained with
out any duplication of effort or in
reference with what is already being
done
"There are few things more vital
60 tho welfare OF the nation than ac-
curate and dependable knowledge of
the best methods of dealing with chill
dren especially with those who are in
one way or another handicapped by
misfortune; and in the absence of
such knowledge each community is
&eft to work out its own problem with
out being able to learn Of and profit
by the success or failurN of other COM
munities along the same lines of
dcavOT. The bills for the establish
ment of the chldren's bureau are ad-
vOcated not only by this conference,
but 10y a large number of national or
CARNATIONS that are diSinterestedly
working for the welfare of children
and also by philanthropic, educational
and religious bodies in all parts of
the country.
81 further urge that such legislation
be enacted as may be necessary in Or
der to bring the laws and practices in
regard to the care of dependent chill
dren in all federal territory into har-
mony with the other conclusions reach
ed by the conference"

Common Interest
OF Three Nations

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-Keen in
the program of subjects of the North
American conservation conference be-
tween represen atives of Canada, Mex
leo, and the United States, in this city,
February is. In his letter to President
DiaZ of Mexico, and Lord Gray, of
Canada, President Roosevelt outlined
as the purpose of the conference the
consideration Of mutual interests in
vOlved in the conservation of natural
resources and the preparation OF "a
general plan adapted to promote the
welfare of the nations concerned"
There is a pretty well defined feel
ing, however, that definite topics will
have 20 be discussed. That the Cana
dams take this view is indicated by
the fact that they have sent to the ma
tional conservation commission COM
plications OF specific regulations gov
erning the disposal of their natural re-
sources.
Last summers forest fires on both
sides Of the line between the United
States are so recent in the minds of
both countries that undoubtedly the
possibility of some cooperative scheme
of fire protection is likely to be
touched on. There are other important
international questions concerning
natural resources which can hardly
fail of consideration.
The Canadian and Mexican delegates
to the conference are coming prepared
to contribute suggeS ions as we'll as to
receive them. Their representatives at
the international NEE ing will be prom
inent specialists on the various phases
of the subject to be discussed. COnser-
walton has not been limited to the
United States. Early last year, for in
stance, every acre Of the public timber
lands in British Columbia, except
what has been leased, was placed in
forest reserves. This action was taken
to check waste by bringing the care
and cutting of timber resources more
effectually under government control.
The action affected 150,000000 acres
as much land as was put into all ma
tiOnal forests of this country up to
1907. In the Yukon all water power
rights are gran ed for only 90 years
and at the expiration of that time their
control reverts to the public Presi-
iden Diaz of Mexico, has a compre-

THE EVENING STATESMAN. WALLA WALLA WASHINGTON

When he left home on the morning
of January s, he started n the best OF
hunor, and there no known reason
for his strange conduct. The last seen
of Mr.. Sprague in this city was at
KitchelIs blacksmith shop on the
morning of January 8. He left there
about 10 o'clock and, so far, has never
been located One or two parties have
reported that a man answering his de-
scription was seen in Tacoma the next
day, but there again the trail ends.
Sheriff Urquhart and others have in
vestigated various theories regarding
the mans disappearance, all to no
avail. He may be working somewhere
and, if so, would probably be engaged
at his trade blacksmi hing. Mr..
Sprague is 50 years old, is stocky
built and of medium height. He shaves
smooth.

Gems Of Thought.

Even in evil that dark cloud which
hangs over creation, we discern rays
Of light and hope, and gradually come
to see in suffering and temptation,
proofs and instruments of the sublime
purpose of wisdom and love.-Chan-
ming.
All the greae agents of nature-at-
traction, heat and the principles of life
are refined, spiritual, invisible, acting
gently. silently, imperceptibly; and yet
brute matter feels their power and is
transformed by them into surprising
beauty-W. E Claiming.
Companionship is the one thing in
the world which is absolutely essential
to happiness. The human heart needs
fellowship more than anything else,
fellowship which is elevated and en-
during stronger and purer than itself,
and centered in that which death can
not change. All it's springs are in God.
WithCu: Him life is failure. and all
beyond is a blanE.-Henry Van Dyke.

MAN MISSING
FROM CHEHALIS

CHEHALIS, Feb. 16.-Considerable
mystery attaches to the disappearance
from Chehalis on January 8 Of Oscar
Sprague. a well known young black
smith of this city. There has been no
particular publicity given The subject
heretofore, the hope being strong that
the missing man would show up some
where and advise his wife and children
Of his whereabouts. There is a certain
air of mystery about his disappearance,
however, and Mrs. Sprague is now of
the conclusion that possibly her hus-
band became demented and went away
during spell of melancholy.
