1t was certainly a liberal education
for the youth of the English landed
gentry of that time to sit under his
tutelage and hear the incidental re.
marks of the great man while deliver
ing his lectures. His character and
penetrating mind drove home many of
the things which have become COM
monplace characteristics of the Eng
fish and American gentleman. In
fact, it would not be surprising if the
whole fabric of English and American
law does not owe more to him than to
any other individual. Certainly the
new English ideal of the last hundred
years-the useful peer may be safely
put down to him.

1t is manifest that a great obstacle to

is the complicated and antiquated sys-

GARFIELD SPEAKS

In a current number of LaFollette's
magazine. Garfield, who took care Of
the interests of the people as Secreta-
ry of the Interior under Theodore
Roosevelt, speaks of the present stu
alton. Coming as it does, on the heels
OF the disclosures of Golfers Weekly,
regarding Richard Achilles Ballinger,
and the conduct of his department, it
Is interesting. And it is doubly so
from the fact that the recent report Of
the Secretary of the Interior which has
valuable document for the defense Of
Ballinger contains much of the work
accomplished by Garfield himself
1t has been said before that as far
as the attitude as regards conserva-
ton of the public lands for the bene-
fit of the public rather than the big
syndicates is concerned, the CLAWS
episode. involving Pinchot and Balm
ger, is the crisis of the whole Taft ad-
ministration. The words of Garfield,
whether international or not, would
seem to tell the administration the
dangers Of it's present policy. No one
knows better than Mr.. Garfield what
these things are and the manner in
which the department which he form
erly managed. is besleged by the enc.
mics of the people.
And so he says:
THE next step in the policy of
conservation is legislative action
to supplement what the Executive
(Roosevelt) has done and to pro-
vide means for further safeguard
ing the public interests wherever
necessary. The danger to the
conservation movement now is in
action.
THE public welfare demands
action. Private interests can
only be kept within proper bounds
by ceaseless vigilance and activi-
ty on the part Of the peoples rep
resentatives, both executive and
legislative.
The people have approved what
has been done and insist that what
has been gained shall not be lost
nor progress checked by inactiv-
ity or a backward step. The fight
for conservation now is in the halls
of congress. There is no danger
that the rights and demands of the
corporations will be neglected.
The danger is that the public in
terests may be forgotten"
The people may be a trifle interested
when the special message which has
been promised on the conservation pol
icy appears. They hope in the mean
time that there will not be another
Hhitcwashing-and not inaction.

TAFT DEMANDS

Corporation Tax Amendment Must

ADJOURNMENT SOON UNLIKELY
tBy Associated Press. ]

Washington. July l2.-Presiden:
and the lawyers of the cabinet have
undertaken to save the tariff confer
ees from haggling over the corpora
tion tax amendment. 1t is conceded
that the measure as passed by the
senate must be re-drafted in order
to meet the views of the administra-
ton.
There is strong sentiment in. con-
gress that the tax should not be more
than / per cent, and it may be cut
accordingly. There is also opposi-
tion to leaving out the Inheritance
tax feature.
The senate amendment providing
for the establishment of customs
court will likely be accepted by the
house. An effort will be made to
fix the salaries OF the judges at $10,-
600
If the senate has its way in rela-
ton to the Inheritance and corpora
tion taxes, there is feeling that Il
will be at the sacrifice of many of its
amendments to the dutiable list.
