NO TARIFF NEErED ON SHOES

The Senate Finance Committee
has reported out the Payne bill with
the House figures on shoes Us per
cent? and hides free unchanged.
The reduction of duty on shoes, of
course, affects adversely the Ameri-
can shoe manufacturer; but the re-
moyal of the duty on hides benefits
him IL is a give and take arrange
ment, but II is satisfactory to the in
dustry and to the American public.
sAs is well known, practically all
the domestic hides are tanned by the
great packing interests centering in
Chicago. They control the price OF
hides absolutely and would be the
sole benehciaries If by any chance a
duty should be put on hides In the
senate. The farmer would reap none
of the benefit, and the public would
suffer by reason OF the increased
cost OF the material of shoes.
A restoration OF tHe duty on hides
at this time would be simple trickery,
which no senator can afford to coun-
tcnance, The duty on shoes and
hides should remain at the level al
ready determined Repub-
lican.

Those Foolipg Phrases

One sentence of Governor Harmon's
speech at the Jefferson banquet in
New York pointedly described the
whole process of tariff revision "by
its friends now en- exhibition in
Washington. We quote it in full:
"Old devices are being employed
and new ones invented to maintain
the favor-taxes undiminished, with or
without a false show OF reduction;
lower rates to be applied with higher
modes of valuation; cunning phrases
whose effect Is now known only to
their authors or to few experts; du-
ties ostensibly to retaliate on other
countries but really meant to secure
monopolies of our home market. as
in the case of the innocent looking
clause in the proposed law which
has made the Standard Oil Trust i'm
pregnable to competitions"
Take one clause In particular
cunning phrases whose effect is now
known only to their authors or to a
few oXperts"-that would make an
excellent text for a. whole speech.
These cunning phrases have been
at the bottom of all kinds of mis-.

joker is foundfin tariff bill il
Is always cuddled up in some phrase

thing until the bill is passed and
something entirely different after

After the Dingley bill was passed
1t took the public five years to find
out what was meant by Counter
vailing duty, The friends of the
tariff knew all the time. Wher the
people finally caught on, the phrase
makers began to talk about "retalia-
tory rates; then 1t was "the draw
back, and so on until the present
special session with its new nest of
"jokers' and a new list of phrases
to conceal them.
In this way the friends of the
tariff' have always been rewarded
for their friendship, and the peo-
pie have always been buncoed. It

love stories which have appeared in

Roofs characters are admirably
drawn, even the minor ones being
clear cut and vivid. Griselda, the
singer, is wholly charming, and one
doesn't in the least blame Stephen

A SURFEIT OF EXPERIMENTS.
The State Journal thinks the legis-
lature should give the cities of Ohio
permission to adopt the commission

senate has recently enacted such a
measure In that state 25 per cent. OF
the voters of a municipality may call
an election and il a majority at the
polls favor the idea the old familiar
aldermanic form of government will
give way to the modern Texas plan.
A board would govern
There has been considerable exper-
imenting of one sort or another with
forms of city government in Ohio in
recent years. The history of the
various movements is too recent to
need repetition. Out of it all has
come the act of the last legislature
which has not yet taken effect, re-
storing the cities to something near
the old federal form OF government
Cleveland long ago tried this plan
and liked It. Politics demanded its
sacrifice and the public had to ac.
.quiesce, even II It did not approve.

commission plan aside, the Journal
would probably find much opposition
