APPEARS LIKE AN
ALL SUMMER JOB
Whipping Tariff Into Shape
a Difficult Task.
SOME COMPROMISE LIKELY

Raw Materials and Calls Attention
to His Recent Statement as Proof
of His Position-Refuses to Agree
to Two Years Limitation of the
Corporation Tax Feature.
Washington, July 23.-In discussing
with various Of his callers the results
Of the tariff dinner at the White
House President Taft expressed him
self as entirely satisfied. The presi-
dent declared, with reference to the
placing of raw materials on the free
list, especially hides, that his chief
interest now lay in finding out what
could be done with reference to man
ufactured products. Western senators
who are fighting the proposition to
put hides on the free list are using
their best endeavors to have a change
made in the manufactured goods
schedule to Offset any concession they
may have to make with regard to the
duty on hides.
President Taft called attention to
the fact that he has been inadvertent
ly misrepresented as demanding free
raw materials all along the line. The
presidents position, as outlined in
his statement of Friday last, was that
he favored an inquiry to find out what
degree of protection, If any, was nee
essary in the matter of ore, hides
coal, etc.
The president has not committed
himself irretrievably to free hides
free coal, free oil and free iron ore
and the fact that he called attention
to this fact leads to the impression
at the White House that some sort OF
working basis is about to be reached
Taft VIII Carry His Points.
The president, as result of the
stand he has taken in the conference
consideration of the bill, will wir
nearly all of the wishes he has ex
pressed and while he declined to dis
cuss compromise" with any of hi!
callers 1t is quite likely that the con
cessions which the conferees will
make will In the end prove satisfac
tory to the chief executive
President Taft was not optimistit
In his talks as to the time that will
be required to whip the measure into
shape. One of his callers asked wher
certain changes were to be made IL
the organization of the bureaus of tht
department of commerce and labol
| and then added that perhaps that was
late summer matter which the pres
ident was not ready to take up. The
president laughingly said that 1t hat
better be called fall matter. for the
tariff promised to be an "all summer
Job.
An effort was made at the dinner tt
have President Taft agree to a two
years limitation of the corporation
| tax He declined to do so This mat
ter was gone into at the time tht
tax was suggested and it was ther
decided that no time limit should bt
| placed upon the measure. Certain
| adherents of the income tax, who vot
ed for the corporation tax as sub
stitute, would not have lent their sup
port to the measure with the tim'
limited to two years.
