TAFT PRAISES PAYNE BILL.

l have signed the Payne tariff bill
because 1 believe it to be the result
of sincere effort on the part of the
Republican party TO make a down
ward revision and to comply with the
promises of the platform as they have
been generally understood and as 1
interpreted them in the campaign be-
fore election.
This is not a perfect tariff bill, or a
complete compliance with the prom
ises made strictly interpreted, but
fulfillment free from criticism in re-
spect to subject matter involving
many schedules and thousands of ar
ticles could not be expected 1t suf-
fees to say that, except with regard
to whisky, liquors and wines, and in
regard to silks and as to some high
classes of cottons-all of which may
jects of a revenue tariff-there have
been very few increases in rates.
There have been a great number
of real decreases in rates, and they
constitute a sufficient amount to JUS
tify the statement that this bill is a
substantial downward revision and a
reduction of excessive rates. This is
not free trade bill. 1t was not in
tended to be. The Republican party
did not promise to make free trade
bill
The Philippine tariff section / have
struggled to secure for ten years past,
and it gratifies me exceedingly by
my signature to give it the effect of
law. l am sure it will greatly in
crease the trade between the two coun-
tries, and 1t will do much to build
up the Philippines in a healthful pros
perity.
The corporation tax is a just and
equitable excise measure, which, it is
hoped, will produce a sufficient
amount to prevent deficit and which
incidentally will secure valuable sta
tistics and information concerning the
many corporations of the country, and
VIII constitute an important step to-
ward that degree of publicity and reg
ulation which the tendency in cor
porate enterprises in the last twenty
years has shown to be necessary.

LAKE TRAFFIC GROWS DECIDED

business Improvement shown BY
Government Figures for June.
Considerable improvement in the
business situation compared with con-
ditions a year ago is noted in re-
port by the National bureau of sta
tistics for June. 1t is shown that do
nestle shipments of leading classes of
commodities from lake ports reached
1O,179,633 net tons, compared with
7.427.616 net tons in June, 1908. Do
nestle shipments for the current sea-
son to the end of June are 19,5S9,552
tons-abOut 60 per cent in excess OF
the total domestic shipments for the
corresponding period of 1908. Iron-ore
shipments for the month, 5,250,657
gross tons, were more than double
those in June, 1908.
More than SO per cent of the June
shipments came from Duluth and SUI
perior.
Soft coal cargoes, amounting to
1,767,09S net tons, were about IL per
cent below the 1908 figures, although
the seasons shipments, 3,36S,262 net
tons, were nearly Is per cent higher
than last year. Shipments of hard
coal during June, principally from
Erie. Buffalo and Oswego, aggregatine
536, 4O1 net tons, also proceeded at a
lower rate than in 1908.
Lumber shipments were far in eX
cess of those in, June, 1908, and it is
pointed out that the largely increased
receipts at Chicago, North Tonawanda,
Detroit and Buffalo indicate improved
conditions in the building trade

CHURCHES MAY UNITE.
Three Pennsylvania Towns Consid-

D. E. Park, of Pittsburg, who makes
his home in Ebensburg, Pa, during

ant congregations of his town $4,000
on condition that they unite and be-
come one church. One meeting of the
deacons of the three churches has al

likely TO be consummated.

gregations-the Presbyterian, Congre
gational and Calvinistic Methodist

they united The congregational
Church owns a very valuable proper
ty, consisting of a large edifice and
parsonage, several lots of ground and
two cemeteries It's property is worth
more than all the other Protestant
properties in Ebensburg.
1t is urged that the three churches
unite, buy a property in the central
part of Ebensburg and construct
large church edifice. 1t is proposed
to engage a pastor at salary of about
$4,000 a year. an assistant at about
$1,000, paid organist, musical di
rector and choir. The membership Of
the church would be about 700.

Liberal Views Defeat 1722 Statute
Sunday Baseball Now Possible.
Both houses of the Connecticut Leg
islature Wednesday passed bill re-
pealing the so-called blue laws" re-
lating to Sunday observance, which
forbid almost every form of recreation
and secular activity. The laws, which
have been seldom enforced, are relics
of 1922. One law specifically repealed
provides for a fine of 81 on each per-
son who shall attend a concert or en-
tertainment on the Lords day. The
new Sunday bill is short. 1t defines
the Sunday and prohibits all sports
and secular activities except such as
are demanded by necessity and mercy,
and such as are for the general well
fare of the community" The penal
section provides both fines and impris-
onment for violation. Under the words
general welfare of the community"
Sunday baseball is probably permit
ted, and the advocates of the bill adj
NIT that the courts must interpret the
wording in several places.
