Praise Tor DinBIey Law,

The present Dingley law has done too
much for the progress and prosperity OF
labor and capital in this country to bring
ondemnation in the head of its distin-
gulshed author. And, when the people now
demand, as they do, that the schedules or
this law be changed to meet changed eondi.

by them under its provisions during the
last twelve years. On every hand, from
the farms and the factories, we have heard
the glad voice of American labor at work.
employed by American capital.
The task now before congress is to
readJust, not to repeal. the Dingley law;
Its policy and purpose must be preserved
and. not abandoned. The judgment of the
American people is for Its arrangement
in the matter Of details and for its rededi-
cation in the matter of principle. 1t Is
because the retails are so intimately ana
inseparably associated with the principles
and purpose of any industrial legislation
that every true friend or wise ana saIe
congressional enactment should be Wiling
to have the facts on which the details rest
ascertained and reported to congress.
As one who will soon be charged with
the responsibility of helping TO revise the
tariff schedules now in force l CONFESS
my need of information, not as to the pol
Icy and purpose, but as to the underlying
and basic facts upon which every duty
must rest II the best results are TO be OBJ
tanned. In my Judgment, and i say II with
out intending to reflect upon my colleagues
or any Of them, / am not the only member
OF congress In need of along
this line.
enactment OF congress providing for a tar
iff commission OF experts to investigate
and report all OF the faicts obtainable re-
lating to trade and Industrial conditions
10 be used as a basis for tariff legislation.
IabelieVe there will be enough men In the
next congress, under the leadership OF that
brave and brilliant young statesman from
this state, Senator Beveridge, to send such
a Measure tn the Whit Ou8P.

47S at the present time. So ,'
While all these new members were being
secured. the secretary reports also that the
number OF grievances sent in by dealers
exceeds the number at any time in the
history OF the organization, and Wednes-
day afternoon an executive session will be
held at which all these things will be
turned over and a solution doubtless Of
fered by someone. U g..
Mr.. Barr told Of the work. of the flying
squadron" and its work in the membership
campaign of last year. which added 300 new
members since the last meeting at Lincoln,
how the state was divided into districts and
members appointed,to visit every hardware
firm in their district. Besides securing the
memberships the workers secured thirty
four new insurance RISKS, aggregating S9,-
900. The insurance report is to be given
Thursday by President Hall.
Some Of the meetings OF the association
are to be executive and their transactions
secret. After the convention adjouTns a
year book will be published giving not only
a complete report of the Omaha meeting,
but writeups about many of the enterpris-
ing towns and cities Of the state. Omaha
figures in this book c~onspicuously.
According to the custom of the associa-
ton the next meeting will be held in Lin
coin, It having been agreed when the or
ganization was new that the annual meet
ings should alternate between Omaha and
Lincoln, the cities best fitted to furnish a
suitable building for the exposition, which
is becoming more of a feature each year.

FOR TARIFF COMMISSION
Men of Opposing Views Meet in Con-
vention in Indianapolis.
PRESENT SCHEDULES DENOUNCED
Speakers say They Are U~nscientifi
and Ask that Problem he Taken
Out of PoIitics--Address
by Senator Brown.

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 1s.-Men Of oppos-
ing political parties and Of widely different
views regarding the tariff sat side by side
as delegates and applauded today as the
speakers in the first national tariff commits
sion convention vigorously denounced the
present tariff and the method OF its con-
struction.
That the present tariff system has been
outgrown and that the United States lin
gers decades behind the scientific meth
DDS of European countries was repeated
almost as often as a new speaker addressed
the delegates. HAT the prompt establish
ment of a nonpertisan tariff commission
was the only remedy for present conditions
was emphatically declared.
On the nature of the commission, whether
Il should be a permanent bureau and an ad-
tunct to the Department Of Commerce and
Labor, an appointive commission, one COM
posed of experts only. or a body of bust
ness men empowered to engage experts,
the speakers differed as apparently did
the delegates, but of the urgent need for 1t
there seemed no dispute.
j. w. VanC1eve of st. Louis, president
of the National Association of Manufac-
turers, who was made the permanent chair
mar of the gathering. aroused the first
enthusiasm by asserting tina the tariff
must be taken out OF partisan politics. Con-
gresham Fowler of New Jersey, who is
sponsor for the Beveridge commission bill
now before congress, caused a demonstra-
ton when he asserted that the tariff must
cease to be the foot ball Of political parties.
Much Enthusiasm Displayed.
The attendance was not so large as had
been hoped for by the officials, but much
enthusiasm is displayed. Many more dele
gates are expected tomorrow and local in
terest will be aroused by the presence of
Senator Beveridge as the principal speaker.
Former Governor Guild of Massachusetts,.
Senator Brown of Nebraska and Congress-
man Ransdel of Louisiana gave the varying
viewpoints of their sections. That there
was little conflict save on minor points was
indicated by their speeches.
Mr.. Guild spoke feelingly concerning the
alleged combination of Chicago packers on
the duty on hides and the alleged victim
lzing of the American farmer.
Senator Brown did not except himself
when speaking of the justification of the
average congressman on the subject of the
tariff and Henry r. Towne questioned Wig
orously the ability of the members of the
ways and means committee to deal intelli-
gently with the same subject. II. E. Miles,
a manufacturer, conceded with Mr.. Towne.
Senator Owen of Oklahoma, was de-
layed In reaching the convention by a snow
bound train and will deliver his address
tomorrow.
