The tariff bill may let in hides
free but that will not make shoes
any cheaper. A little Joker pro-
vides that shoes of. certain
grade are to bear a heavy duty.
AS this grade is the only one
coming in competition with
American goods the manufac-
turer will get all the benefit of
free hides. The only way an
American can buy a cheap Amer

This editor is a very poor man
as men are rated. We have no
ready money and can i'll afford a
large expenditure but we will
give $40 for the actual photo

wrote that resolution. We will
give the amount the income TAX

every son of canine who voted
for it. We want to place before
the thinking world the name of
every man connected with the
dirty suggestion SO that all men

trying to educate them; they are
so saturated with pusilanimity

Now write to your senator or

Tell him that you do not mind if

your support to tax men on their
incomes when the income reaches
$4,000 per year and increase the

Methought stood inside the gate

And watched st. Peter handling those
Who sought a final, sweet repose-
Among the Others still outside
Was one of manner dignifed,
Who, when his turn had come, approached
As though he had been fully coached.
"And who are you?' the saint inquired.
The applicant looked bored and tired.
my name is Aldrch: have been, -
"Oh, yes, know" the saint broke in;
'.You are the gent who seems to think
A tariff can't be on the blink"
The statesman stifiiy bowed his head.
ST. Peter softly smiled and said:
We have a tariff up here too
On all that we admit, as you
Believe in having, and We fix
A rate as in your politics,
With special interest well in sight
So we may get our friends in right
Now you, for instance-well now, say,
You're special in different way;
And when we come to you we give
rate that 1t prohibitive,
And as you can't land here, old man,
You've got to get in where you can"
Forthwith the saint the portal slammed.
And Aldrich murmured, "well, I'm damned;

THE conference report on the
tariff bill is said to be full of
jokers, the effect of which is to
make an apparent reduction OF
rates while actually raising them
1t remains to be seen whether Mr.
Taft will stand for the bunco

pure robbery. Higher rates de-
serve a stronger name. 1t may
be possible to fool Mr.. Taft, but

sence of pusilanimity:
NEW YORK, July 1S.-The board OF
directors Of the National Association
OF Manufacturers today issued the
following official statement address,
ed ITO the congress OF the United
States:
"The National Associat ton OF Man.
ufacturers indorses any reasonable
measure to secure by tax the requi-
site money, which, together with
the tariff duties, shall be sufficient to
support this government.
1--WE deplore the effort OF dema-
gogues to segregate> American citi-
zens, and make government support
ers OF one class and charity recipients
OF another; well knowing the char
acter of our best grade workmen,
we understand that they do not
relish attempts to make them recipi-
ents Of any other mans contribution
to the proportionates support OF the
government which protects them,
and OF which they are an integral
part Upright working Americans
resent such imputations.
"It is an injustice that our work
ing classes be subjected to indignities
by patronizing politicians.
1--WE, therefore, recommend, II nec-
essary for income purposes, the en-
actment OF measures providing a
just and equitable tax upon all citi-
zens. exactly in proportion to their
ability to assist in the support and
receive the benefits of what we es-
TEEN to be the best government on
earth.
"As an illustration, we suggest
one-eight OF per cent on all incomes.
This would require 70 cents from the
man who receives 5000 a year and
81 go from the man who receives
81 ZOO. 900 a year.
"We urge all citizens to write their
senator's and representatives in con-
gress expressing their views on this
subject, and we will willingly abide
the decision Of the people at large,
provided they be allowed a fair ex-
preston OF opinion before the meas
ure devised by the politicians be en-
acted into law"
You were very careful to in
clude in your first paragraph a
testimonial for tariff duties. You
realized that if they were retained
you would still be a wonderful
beneficiary of system that cries
to heaven for vengeance.
You deplore the effort of states
men to relieve common labor
from the income tax. Of course
you do. Some of the men who
drafted that resolution had $50
per month janitor and the idea of
letting him escape with all that
money nearly killed the intel
lectual runt who runs the plant.

month and / get only matter of
