According to entirely reliable sourc-
es of information President Taft has
determined to take no part in the
framing of the tariff bill, to give no
advice regarding individual schedules
or specific duties and to become in
yolved in no controversies with spec.
ial interests. The president calmly
asserts that he has troubles of his
own and that he sees no reason why
he should shoulder the burdens OF
congress as we'll. He has, however, as
sured the leaders of his party that he
expects them to enact a measure
which will embody genuine tariff re.
vision and at the same time produce
sufficient revenue to carry on the bus
ness of the country, and that any 9th
er he will veto. Moreover he has
made it plain that if when the Payne
bill is nearly completed it does not
promise to conform to these condi'
tions congress is likely to hear from
him with strong recommendation ol
some form of income tax. most prob
ably tax OF 2 per cent ON the divi
dends of corporations, There is some
thing refreshing about president
who assumes this calm, judicial at
titude, who leaves congress to worl
out its own salvation as best it may
and quietly awaits the result, only
uttering gentle warning that failure
to do it's duty will occasion the con
demnation OF the country and the We
to OF the president.
