NEW TARIFF BILL.

r. DIV Congress will emerge from the mud
- - die over the tariff bill depends upon what
action will be taken by the conference commit
tee of the two houses During the conference
the hand of Taft may be felt. 1t is hardly likely
that the President will veto the bill and follow
the example of the veto of the Wilson bill by
President Cleveland. After that veto came the
defeat of the party in power. Taft will probably
pursue different course He will try to get out
of the conference bill more in accordance with
his own notions of what a tariff measure should
be. Taft gave warning to the leaders of Con
gress during his Yale speech that the country ex-
pected them to keep their promises
The situation had been confused by the cor
poration tax bill and the income tax measure.
Very few seem to want the corporation tax
amendment that the Senate has adopted. Prob
ably it was prompted by Mr.. Taft because he
believed that under such a law the government
could ascertain the doings of some large corpo-
rations that are supposed to have been violat
ing the law and manipulating their dividends
and securities in an improper if not illegal man
ner. But for the few corporations that may
have been engaged in reprehensible practices
there are thousands that go along year after
year in a perfectly proper and legitimate man
ner They violate no law but do business as
corporations simply because their stockholders
have found the corporation plan the best plan
TO suit modern conditions. Under the proposed
law they would be subjected to scrutiny and
there is anything that the American people do
not like it is meddling with their private bust
ness affairs
While the corporation tax would affect a small
proportion of the wealth of the country. the in
come tax as proposed in Congress would like
wise hit very small proportion. Under the in
come tax incomes under $1,000 would be ex-
empt but it has seemed TO us that such exemp-
ton is entirely to high. If we are to have an
income tax it should be graduated and include
incomes as small possibly as $500 year. IN
der a graduated tax the tax would be less in
proportion on the lower incomes.
But in the present emergencies there is no
necessity for either an income tax or corpo-
ration tax. A stamp tax would easily, and with
out great complaint, raise the money needed to
make up the presumed deficiency that will fol-
low the enactment of the tariff bill The stamp
tax has been favored by many persons through
out the country as the proper means of secur-
ing additional revenue, but the sentiment in its
favor has fallen on dead ears at Washington

Editorial
Opinion
Playing Fair With the Public.

Playing Fair With the Public.
New York Tribune.
President Taft's suggestion at the
Yale alumni dinner, that "if the Re-
publican party does not live up 10
what the people expect Of it. II may be
relegated to her majesty's opposl-
tion,' ought to enlighten those Re
publicans in Washington who have
labored TO obscure and nullify what
the public understood to be the party's
pledges Of downward tariff revision.
Mr.. Taft takes a serious view of party
obligations and has no sympathy with
the sophistical argument advanced in
the Senate that the Republican ma
tional platform Of 1908, as interpreted
without challenge OF any sort by the
Republican Presidential candidate left
the party's representatives in Congress
free TO re-enact practically unchanged
a law declared out OF date because
of the enormous changes in CONNER
cial and industrial conditions which
had occurred since 1t was put on the
statute book. There can be no doubt
that the voters believed it to be the
intention of the Republican party to
make an adequate revision of the
Dingley rates, with material reduc-
tions in many schedules. Good faith
and sound party policy require the full
filment now of undisputed prediction
promises.
The President is shrewder than the
party leaders in the Senate in foresee-
ing the political dangers involved in
disappointing just popular expecta-
tions. No party can successfully live
down a record of broken pledges. II
may happen, as at present. that tho
opposition party is in great measure
debarred from taking advantage of the
majority party's apparent trihing with
public sentiment. Yet that disability
does not excuse the blunder of failing

of casting aside an exceptional op-
portunity to strengthen and popularizs
Republican leadership. A competent
handling of the tariff question in this
Congress-the general acceptance. for
instance. of the programme of revi-
sion which the House of Representa-
itves and the President support-wouid
make the Republican party invincible
I'm the nation, removing the only issue
on which IN recent years it has been
successfully attacked. The Senate has
done nothing to secure such notable
party advantage. on the contrary, II
has done a good deal TO show that
on the tariff issue Republican leader
ship in one branch OF Congress is not
alert and progressive. The Presidents
remark at New Haven suggests that
the great weight of his personal and
/ political authority will be used TO re-
pair the Senate's blunder. The country
will gladly infer that he win do his
best to enforce fair dealing with the
public and a satisfactory fulhllment oi
party duty and party promises.

HOW TO MAKE
GOOD ROADS
American Road Congress
Meets in Annual Session
At Seattle

SEATTLE, Wash, July 6.--At the
first American Road Congress which
met here yesterday for four-d day ses-
sion. a paper by Clifford Richardson,
of New York, was read, summing up
the latest experience in good road
building Mr.. Richardson, who ranks
as one Of the highest authorities on
street and road engineering, said in
part:
"The evident conclusion which may
be drawn from past and present ex-
perience is that success can be ar
rived at in the construction of any
form of bituminous road surface only
by the use Of asphalt as a cementing
material. The thing to be considered
however, is: how can asphalt be used
in building the cheaper forms of coun-
try highways which are now in de-
mand. TO resist motor and concen-
trated traffic?
For many years, tar macadam has
been laid in Eng gland. France, and. to
a smaller extent, in this country in
Rhode Island, New Jersey and else
where. This form of roadway is ar
rived at by coating the surface stone
of the macadam with coal tar in one
way or another, either before or after
rolling It, and afterwards filling the
voids in the surface with more tar and
grit. screenings or sand. Such a sur
face is desirable when first finished,
but it soon begins to deteriorate, and

terial.
From past experience. IL is not diff
ficult to arrive at the conclusion that If
an asphalt cement were substituted for
the coal tar result would be attained
which would correspond to the inn
provement which was evident on the
substitution of asphalt for tar in street
pavements The difficulty lies in the
fact that an asphalt cement is much
more viscous than tar. 1t must be used
I'm a much better condition and does
not mix with or adhere so readily to

however, that this can be accomplished

ments.
To-day. we find ourselves, after
some experiment. in the position oi

used in macadam surfaces. with an
asphalt cement which serves satisfac-

seventy days in 1892; a full term of
enlistment in the Mexican war of 1S45;
a term of three years in the Crimean

expected that Mr. Banning the new president

administration of public Office. His address be-
fore Council at the opening session is therefore
entertaining and is deserving Of some comment

Mr.. Banning remarked that 1t was distaste-

But Be Careful

Condensed milk is half sugar. You can't use
it for cooking Don't think that Van Camps is
like that
And don't think that all evaporated milks are
alike.
Van Camps Milk shows about 8 per cent
of butter fat. That's because we use Holsten
milk, and take out two-thirds the water.
But milk less rich, and with more water left
in may still be called "evaporated"
If you'll compare Van Camps with other
brands, you will see what difference there is.
Yet others cost as much as Van Camps.
