VIII Probe the Tariff.

Washington. Sept. 1.-THE APP
pointment OF a tarlff commission by
President Taft is interesting politi-
clans.
The makeup of the commission is
such as TO leave no doubt that Presi-
dent Taft has concluded the tariff
question is not settled for an Indeh-
rite period, as the leaders OF the SEN
ate and house wish the country to
accept Il. and that he has determined
10 set about shedding some real light
on the inner workings Of tariff sched-
ules.
In short. Mr. Taft will pry open
the tariff lid on which the finance
and ways and means committees have
long been sitting.
This means in all reasonable prob
ability that the agitation for revision
OF the tariff cannot long be deferred.
In the opinion of many shrewd OBJ
servers Il will be on in full blast long
before the end OF this administration.
Agitation Not Over.
II hitaiof 0Acbt AnaN Will Ut
war between President Taft and the
senate and house leaders. The presi-
dent has named a tariff commission
that will undoubtedly bend its ener-
gles toward going 10 the bottom OF
the vital question OF the differences
between the cost OF production at
home and abroad. This is the very
question that the ultra high tariff
men, typlhed by such leaders as SEN
ator Aldrich, Senator Hale, Speaker
Cannon. Representative Dalzell and
others wish TO have let severely
alone.
The president Is bent on not let
ting Il alone, and there is every indl-
cation he has made up the commits
sion for the purpose of having II
probe into the cost or production and
the numerous problems that hedge
round the tariff, and about which the
country has been kept in Ignorance
just as far as the high tariff leaders
could accomplish Il.
MacNeagh's Selections.
Not the least interesting feature OF
the selection Of the new commission
Is that Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh named Il. MacVeagh has
never been accused of high tariff
leanings. His choice of men was ap-
proved by the president.
1t has been no secret for some
time that the president intended 10
make use of the authority which he
believes is given to him by the tariff
commission legislation so as to get
all possible out of it and shed some
needed illumination on the tariff dark
places. The president made this
pretty clear when the commission

Peary came up with Bartlett, who
had pitched his camp at the side of a
lead of water which IL was impossi-
Bile to cross. The combined parties
had to wait until March IL, seven
days, before further progress was

first time March 5, and an observa-

Question was being discussed in con-

Senator Beveridge and others who
were advocating a tariff commission
with claws we're much chagrined
when the commission provisions were
shaped up in the finance committee.
But they were assured that the presi-
dent felt such authority as was left
him would be ample.
For a time the commission pro-
visions in the bill we're such as to
authorize the commission to furnish
information on the tariff to congress.
Then the president began talking
downward revision. The house and
senate high tariff men took alarm
and the word went around that Presi-
dent Taft had studied political

accused by some OF being a free
