WASHINGTON LETTER.

The Payne tariff bill, after twenty
weeks of almost continuous debate, is
finally on the statute books and the
Dingley law has passed into history.
Final action on the bill was taken by
the, Senate on Thursday afternoon, Aug
S, and within three hours after the pass.
age of the measure by the upper house,
the President affixed his signature and
the first session of the Sixty. first Con-
gress adjourned sine die. The bill went
into effect that night at midnight. After
signing the bill the President made a
statement of his views, saying 81 have
signed the Payne tariff bill because be-
lieve it to be the result of sincere effort
on the part of the Republican party to
make downward revision and to COM
ply with the promises of the platform as
they have been generally understood and
as interpreted them III the campaign
before election" President Taft frankly
admits that he is not wholly satisfied with
the measure, saying 1.-THE bill is not a
perfect tariff bill or complete compli-
ance with the promises made, strictly in
terpreted, but fulillment free from
criticism in respect to subject matter in.
volving many schedules and thousands of
articles could not be expected" :.
There have been great number of real
decreases in rates, and they constitute a
sufficient amount to justify the statement
that this bill is a substantial downward
revision and reduction of excessive
rates."

Recommend State Auditing De
partment.

Governor Crothers declares that a State
auditing department is needed even more
than a public utilities commission in
Maryland, and has asked Attorney Gen
eral Straus to go to work in the prepare
ton of bill providing for such de-
partment.
"Adjutant General War6eld," said the
Governor at the Cabinet meeting, "has
recommended such department. His
attention was called to the diversity Of
methods in an investigation he made Of
several State departments. Every State
Office, whether in Baltimore city or in the
counties of Maryland, should have a
uniform system of keeping its books.
Money paid out by the State should
pass through one central agency, the
number OF State depositors should be de-
creased and the payments made from the
Treasury Department on appropriations
ought to be regulated so that the demands
will not all be made at the same time,
leaving it to the Treasurer to pay out the
money as he receives 1t. "
Every corporation adopts uniform
business Methods" said General War
field, "and there is no reason why biz
State like Maryland. paying out million:
OF dollars every year, should not be con
Quoted ia the same way."

After twenty weary weeks of wrang-
ling Congress has finally passed that
tariff bill and adjourned, and mos'
people are heartily glad the agony is
over, as the whole tariff business has de,
generated into one of the biggest pieces
of political jobbery ever foisted upon the
people of country. Originally intended
for the protection of infant industries OF
this country, the tariff Of the present day
is nothing more than the levying OF
duties for political and personal reasons,
the economical part of the question being
lost sight of entirely in the scramble for
distribution of favors to what have
grown to be powerful special interests, in
order that Senators and congressman
may be assured of the support of these
protected interests" for reelection. The
consumers, the people at large, are given
no thought in this tariff bunco game, ex-
cept that they are expected to, and do,
''pay the freight" while the so called
ssinfant industries" reap all the benefits.

To Prevent Bright's Disease.

Brights Disease Consumption of the
Kidneys, is just as fatal as consumption
of the lungs, and as it is liable to attack
any one when their Kidneys are in dis
ordered condition, every one should
watch their Kidneys and keep them
healthy One way TO do this is to keep
the stomach and liver healthy. If either
of these organs are unhealthy the Kid.
neys soon become affected. Keep your
stomach healthy by using Rydale's
Liver Tablets and thus prevent Bright's
Disease. Eli T. Reynolds.

One of the Maryland correspondents OF
the Philadelphia Record states that re-
ports are currant throughout the State,
and have been for some time, that deal
has been made between the liquor
interests in Baltimore City and the Re
publican machine whereby the liquor
interests will line up against the disfran-
chising amendment and the Republican
machine will see to it that there is no
Statewide anti-saloon bill passed at the
next session of the Legislature. 1t is said
on good authority that this compact has
been made not only in Baltimore. but in
every section of the State where the
liquor interests have foothold. The ex
cuse given by the liquor people fol
lining up against the amendment is, that
in the Southern States where the negroes
have been DISTINGUISHED the States have
all gone dry and that it is necessary te
save this negro vote to the Republican
party to save the saloon in Maryland.

nection with that work much valuable
data will be secured and Immediately that
phase of the work is completed the COM
mission will turn its attention to the de-
termination of costs of production at
home. There is one way in which the
reactionaries in Congress, men like Sem
ator Cannon, can defeat the purpose of
the President and that is by refusing to
appropriate the funds necessary to pay
the salaries and expenses of the COM
mission; but if the people will do their
part and insist that this course shall not
be pursued, the President will have full
power to make these all important in
vestigations.

The session of Congress just concluded
demonstrated in remarkable degree the
impossibility of enacting tariff law in
accordance with the Republican national
platform, that is, making the duties
equal the difference between the cost OF
production at home and abroad plus a
reasonable profit for American industries,
without data bearing on the various in
dustries other than that furnished by
protected manufacturers whose personal
profits are dependent on the tariff and
whose views cannot be in any sense un-
biased. Such manufacturers appear be.
fore the committee of Congress and assert
that any reduction of the duties below the
existing law will ruin their business and
throw thousands out of work. The. few
who attempt to controvert these state
ments are, naturally, less familiar with
the details of given industry than those
engaged in it and they are generally
made to appear ridiculous because ofthat
lack of familiarity. The Senator or
Representative dependent on the maEu.
facturers in his district in large measure
for reelection is hardly in position to
treat their statements with incredulity.
1t is, therefore, imperative that Congress
should have some official data on which
to act and that, above all. the President
who, as Mr.. Taft has we'll said, has the
entire country for his constituency, should
possess that data also. Only a tariff
commission of the type designed by Presi-
dent Taft can furnish such data.
-
Some of the leaders in Congress sought
to emasculate the tariff provision COM
mission, as is clearly demonstrated by the
statement of Senator Hale in debate that
under the provision the President would
have no power to investigate costs OF
production at home or abroad. The as
surance of so able lawyer as President
Taft that the provision as enacted affords
him wide latitude to secure just such in
formation is, therefore, most reassuring
to majority of the people. even though
it may greatly contribute to the discom-
J future of Mr.. Hale.
xx*
The President purposes to appoint his
commission es soon as he can find just
the right men. For time the com.
mission will doubtless be fully occupied
securing the information necessary to the
intelligent enforcement of the maximum
and minimum provision, but even in con.

To the many who put their faith in a
tariff commission the Presidents words
on that subject will prove an occasion of
qualification for he says that the pro-
vision contained in the maximum and
minimum section gives him "a wide lati-
tude for the acquisition, under circum-
stances favorable to its truth, of informa-
Ption in respect to the price and cost of
production of goods at home and abroad,
which will throw much light on the
operation of the present tariff and be Of
primary Importance as officially collected
data upon which future Executive action
and Executive recommendations may be
based.

nothing to do In respect to the tariff

sion OF IL. Then will begin a long wait
by the House until the Senate amend
ments can be known and cOnfcrces ap.
pointed TO bring about an agreement
upon them.
This procedure will result In each
house having to remain In session
with nothing to do in relation to the
tariff covering period OF couple Of
months. Three days is the extent of
recess that may be taken by either
body.
Senators therefore are considering
the advisability Of entering upon other
Legislation. The nd locates OF postal

sibility OF such n policy being adopted
ever since they became aware OF their
inability to secure legislation In the
late Congress.
There are many earnest advocates
OF Il change OF date In the Inaugural
ton from March ith. Action on this
question may be taken.
Advocates OF statehood for New
Mexico and Arizona were greatly dis
appointed that no progress could be
made toward the enactment of an en-
abling act during the late session and
they are restless over any proposition
to delay action until the regular ses.
sion of Congress because they fear the
mass of legislation which will then
come up will crowd out their claims.
The Presidents veto of the census

provide for the enumeration of the
thirteenth census. legislation might be
delayed until early next winter. some
believe that the extra session would
give an admirable opportunity to dis
pose of it.
