rARIFF ANn RnSINESS.

On the eve of his departure for a
long vacation in Europe Charles M.
Schwab. one of the steel magnates, de-
clared he would prefer a radical re-
vision of the tariff schedules rather
than the depression and hating of
from a long debate on the tariff ques-
ton at the special session, with the
prospect OF a more or less bitter fight
over the law finally enacted.
Mr.. Schwab is but stating the facts
of a situation apparently inevitable
whenever congress turns it's attention
to the question of tariff changes, and
this is one of the chief reasons why a
tariff, when once fixed, is allowed to
remain long after the change in indus
trial and commercial affairs would in
dictate the d~esirability of revision. I'm
certainty concerning tariff duties on
raw material and finished products
serves to paralyze important indus
tries. Manufacturers hesitate to ex-
pand their operations, fearing that
foreign competition may involve them
in loss, while jobbers M importers
adopt a hand-to-mouth policy in their
purchases in order not to be caught
with large stocks on hand when the
change comes.
The party leaders at Washington
fully appreciate the effect of tariff
changing on business and their appre-
citation is responsible for the action of
the ways and means committee in do
ing everything possible toward franz
ing a bill in advance of the special ses-
sion to be charged with tariff revision.
This has had some effect in allaying
uneasiness among the industrial and
commercial interests, but the wariness
in new deals may be expected to re-
main until the new congress has taken
final action.
Much has been made public of the
ways and means committees plans.
These include a reduction on coarse
yarns, with higher duties on finer
goods, which will be of advantage to
the eastern manufacturers; a reduc-
ton on wool tariffs which will be far
less than that provided for in the DEM
ocratic Wilson bill; the placing of
lumber, coal and iron ore on the free
list and the admission of machinery
free of duty, with a reciprocity pro-
vision. The schedules on hides, steel
and sugar are still under considera-
ton. Altogether, there is nothing in
the announced plans of the tariff re-
visionists that should furnish excuse
for prolonging the incubus that now
appears to rest on trade and industry.

rHE cALL EoR ne GoAr

The forestry bureau of the govern
ment has undertaken a scheme to
clear the underbrush out of some of
the big western forest reserves that
promises to be of exceeding interest,
If labor organizations do not interfere
by protesting against the employment
of imported labor for the task. The
plan is to turn some 5000 Angora
goats loose to work for Uncle San in
the job of clearing brush to make fire
lines" in the Lassen national forest In
California. AS outlined in a forestry
service bulletin:
Tit scheme is to run fire lines parallel
with the contour OF the slopes by cutting
trails about eighty rods apart. These trails
are to serve as guides for the Angoras.
They will Craze in each direction from the
trails, killing, it is estimated, a strip of
brush about 800 yards wide. The wide lanes
cut out and grazed by the goats will serve
as Ideal fire lines in protecting the forest
covered lands lying beyond and around the
ehaparral areas, and also make a place
FOR reproduction OF m~erchantable trees.
II the scheme works the chaparral
problem in California and other west
ern states may be considered solved.
This ~chaparral growth chokes out
seedlings of valuable commercial trees
and, when dry, burns like finder. The
forest rangers are unable to cope with
this constant menace and the depart
ment has decided to issue a CO. Q. D."
call for the goats.
While the Angora goal is a fine
wooded animal and highly valuable for
commercial purposes. its taste is just
as common as that of the plain barn
yard William Goat that takes any
thing from the weeks washing to a
keg of nails with equal relish. Ex-
periments have shown hat the An
CORA will eat anything vegetable or
mineral that may be offered, with un-
derbrush, priekly pears, cactus and
scrub trees as its special preference.
IL thrives and grows fat on just the
sort Of material the government is
trying to get rid of in the forest re-
serves. The goats appetite is mighty
and the supply of chaparral is appar-
entity unlimited, so the goat is in for
the time OF its life.
The chief drawback to the scheme
is that appetite often grows by what
1t feeds on, and after a long diet of
chaparral Pnd underbrush the Angora
may acquire a taste for pine. cedar
and the giant redwoods and thus rival
the lumber barons In the work of de-
vastating the big forests. But the ex-
pertinent is worth trying aud the coun-
try will hope that the goat, however

OUR COSTLY U

The figures recently printed in The
Bee out of the county c~omptroller's
report. showing the cost to the taxpay-
ers. of Douglas county for court and
jury services for last year % be up
ward of 500, 600, must be an eye
opener to most people. When this
large outlay is c~ontrasted with the
small amount paid by the parties to
the litigation in the form of court
costs and fees, which for the same
year was but a trile over $12 900, the
need of some change in the system
that will make the administration of
justice more effective and less costly
must be apparent.
Either the expenditures for judicial
officers, jurors, etc, are excessive, or
the sums collected from the litigants
directly interested are inadequate, or
both. The most wasteful part of the
expense is unquestionably involved in
the jury cost, the number of talesmen
kept on the a roll being for the most
part wholly disproportionate to the
number actually engaged at any one
time in the hearing of cases. The
more economical handling of the juries
depends almost entirely upon the
judges, and the extent to which they
hold the trial lawyers to strict condi-
tions of challenge and to definite
limits of time.
Another item which makes our
courts so costly is to be found in the
time devoted to vacations and holi-
days. This point is well made by a
writer in the New York World, who
asserts that the actual number of
working days of courts there-and the
same is not much different here's
not over half of what the ordinary
man puts in at his regular occupation.
When the judges shut down their
courts for holidays, or take from two
to three months vacation each yea
the fixed charges of the courts go right
on, although the judicial machinery is
idle.
The writer referred to. who is a
leading New York lawyer. suggests
that the judges could add two months
to the working season OF the courts by
doing a brisker business and sticking
to 1t, increasing the efficiency by at
least one-ffth without any material
increase in the cost. OF course, il the
courts kept going the lawyers would
have to stay on their jobs as we'll, so
that this reform might be unpopular
with members of the bar, but it would
make up for this unpopularity by
striking a responsive chord with liti-
giants who chafe at the laws delay
and with the taxpayers who foot the
bills.

MIR. TAFT ON LINCOLN.
An Inspiration for Heroism ana Use

President-Elect Taft in Cosmopolitan.
IL seems to me as l study the life of
Lincoln that in his development and the
position TO which he attained, there is
more inspiration for heroism and usefulness
10 The country than In the life of any
other one man in history. He had his
weaknesses, like others. His education was
Iaulty. But by a certain sort of intellectual
discipline, by self-education, he clarified
MS methods of thought and expression so
that ne was able to meet every problem
presented by a solution as simple as IT
was effective. Tit responsibility which he
had TO assume when he came to the presi-
oency was awful to contemplate. and the
proverbial sadness of his features IL IL
easy 10 understand. The criticism and abuse
10 which he was subject in the crises Of the
clNh war one is ashamed to review as a
matter of history. And yet II is of the ut
most value In the encouragement of others
that they may not be borne down by the
weight OF hostile and persistent criticism.
Mr.. Llncoln's biographer and partner
Judge Herndon, raises ID question as to
whether love made up a part of Lincoln's
nature. He suggests that his consideration
and charity resulted rather from his sense
OF justice. l don't know that such a dis
cussion is profitable. Certain II is that we
nave never had in public life a man whose
sense Of duty was stronger, whose bearing
toward those with whom he came In
contact, whether his friends or political
opponents was characterized by a greater
sense OF fairness. And we have never had
In public life a man who took upon him
self uncomplainingly the woes OF the nation
and suffered in his soul from the weight
OF them as he did, nor in all our history
a man who had such a mixture OF common
sense, OF high sense of duty, of power, of
ineXorable logic, and OF confidence in the
goodness of God in working out a righteous
result, as had this great product of the
soil of our country.
One cannot read Of Abraham Lincoln
without loving him. One cannot think of
his struggles, of his life and its tragic
end, without weeping. One cannot study his
efforts, his conscience, his hsroism, his
patriotism and the burdens OF bitter attack
and calumny under which he suffered and

the history of this country without a
