Then resulted the Wilson bHl. provid-

will have this effect.
The fact that the amount Of the tax
to be assessed was lowered from 2 per
cent to 1 per cent ia considered by the
members of congress to evidence clear
~ that the bill has regulation for its
object and not merely revenue.

There Is no appeal from this court,
which will eft in Washington, and the
members of which will be appointed
by the president.
For the purposes Of the operation OF
this court the country has been divid-
ed into nine customs judicial districts.
While many items in the bill show
revision downward. It will as Il whole
provide for an increased revenue, con-
tinuing in general effect the Repub.
lican policy of protection.
Retaliation Measures.
| Governmental measures Of retalia-
ton against countries which do not
make tariff concessions to the United
States are amply provided for. Maxi.
mum and minimum provisions enable
a higher rate Of tax to be imposed on
the products of these countries than
would ordinarily have been the case.
The creation OF commission to look
into the question Of the tariff from a
nonpartisan viewpoint IS an innOva-
ton that has been suggested for many
years. 1t is generally locked on as a
move toward taking the tariff out of
politics"
A policy long ago established By tar
if makers in this country Is retained
in the new measure. 1t Is the impos-
ing of particularly heavy duties on
Injuries.
The drawback" provisions are IN
dicative of more kind hearted gov
ernmental attitude than had been con-
sidered probable In brief, a drawback
is a refund Of duty moneys paid on
material imported into this country
which is used In the manufacture of
articles which are themselves exported
from this country.
The guiding spirit In the formula
ton Of the provisions Of the new meas
ure has been one to fix duties that do
not necessarily encourage foreign i'm.
portaton. but that render 1t impossible
for a combination Of capital in any
given line to raise prices above those
that now exist and to prevent them IN
general from being further raised
President Taft MS taken particular
pains to point out this circumstance
Competition that existed when the
Dingley bill was enacted has beer
wiped out by the consolidation OF com
panies and the combination Of inter
, csts. President Taft renders the opin
, ion that the Payne tariff bill will ir
large measure restore the possibility
, CT successful competition in the bust
, ness fields so affected.
