Downward Revision.

President Taft is anxious for down.
ward revision of the tariff. He stands
pledged to it, according to the popular
view, altho the Senate leaders, headed
by Senator Aldrich. announce that
there is no pledge to revise downward.
Mr.. Taft instituted a vigorous cam
paign for revision in the interests CT
the consumer before he was inaugural
ed. He met with Ways and Means Re-
publicans in the early Winter during a
brief trip to Washington. But he ulti-
mately made peace with Speaker Cam
non. and the House bill was not alto
gether satisfactory to revision adro-
Gates Beyond question the President
could have forced measure of revi-
sion downward, over what the House
and Senate have accomplished, If he
had kept laundering at their leaders.
He has made 1t plain that when lI1e
bill is thru Senate and House he in
tends to have few plain words with
the conferees and to insist upon the
retention of the reduced rates voted by
the House and also by the Senate. He
feels that. there being but a few men
on the conference, he can work more
effectualiy with them. The President
probably will be able to accomplish
much in that direction. The fact re-
mains, however. that very many items
will be out of the jurisdiction of the
conferees altogether, because Senate
and House will have adopted the idep-
tical figures. Then it will be difficult
to control conferees, once the bill has
passed the Senate, where the great or
deal of high or low rates was inevitably
to come.
One of the best known of Chicago
cartoonists was in town the other day
Il have hardly put Taft's picture in
cartoon since the inauguration" said
he. "The President is not doing the
things which Roosevelt did that lend
themselves to cartoons"
There had preceded him to WASH
ington only a few days the editor and
owner of oEe of the most influential
and powerful of newspapers In the
Southwest He had not been printing
editorials about Taft for several weeks.
The Administration had not been doing
things which he cared to comment
much about, he explained, and his pa
per was one of the most aggressive and
consistent of Mr.. Taft's advocates dur
ing the pre-convention period and also
during the campaign.

After being practically laid aside 10

test vote on lead products gave the
Finance Committee majority of five
votes, indicating that it is in control of
the tariff situation.

The National tribune., 1909-05-13

There can be no question whatever
about the difference between the Taft
and Roosevelt policies with Congress.
They are not the same, and in all prob
ability will lead to different ends. The
President will not swing big stick over
the Senate or the House. He insists
on making his wishes known to those
two legislative bodies. Then Senate and
House must go ahead with their duties,
legislate in their wisdom. and the Presi-
dent will thereupon exercise his judg-
ment about approving or vetofng their
work. Time and again during the eighn
tempestuous weeks of the extra session
the President has been appealed to to
help out in some insurgent movement.
He has steadily declined. In such cases
President Roosevelt often helped out
the insurgents, and aided in kindling
a fire under the House and Senate lead
ers. That was what caused SO many
and fierce quarrels between the Presi-
dent and Congress during the Roosevelt
Administrations. Mr.. Roosevelt was
able to win out over Congress. because
he was constantly waging campaigns
before the people for their approval of
what he was doing
The National tribune., 1909-05-13

President Taft expects to go West on
a long tour this Summer, and during
that tour the West will have oppor-
tunity to judge him better than it can
now. By the time his special train be-
gins whizzing towards the setting sun
his course with the tariff will have been
determined. If he wins anything from
Congress by his new policy of nor-in-
terference-which was the established
policy, by the way, up to the time Of
the Roosevelt Administrations-the
President will gain something in pres
tige, and will be stronger when he
undertakes his program of corporation
legislation next Winter. If he loses on
tariff, as there is danger he will do, II
win be all the more difficult for him to
get by" with amendments 20 the Sher-
man antitrust law and the Hepburn
act next Winter. For Congress will be
more disposed to follow the advice of
the old leaders.

When men talk tariff the Halls of
the House and Senate usually look like
a junk shop. Senator McCumber, of
North Dakota, who knows more about
lumber than anybody IN preparing to
make his great speeeh on lumber the
other day, had pieces of different kinds
of lumber that he was going to talk
about piled up around hts desk till he
was behind miniature barricade. Once

All About Immigration.

James v. Baker, broker Of New
York, was in the city last week, and
discussed the immigration question,
which he declares is one of the greatest
problems now agitating the world. He
thinks that the United States viii have
| no little trouble with the subject Of i'm
| migration in the near future, when
1000 900 foreigners are coming here
each year to make their hornes.
We created last year SIS, 500. .000, 600
of wealth in this country said Mr..
Baker. Our greatest wealth came last
year thru 100000 men and women
who came from across the water and
who are worth to us $4,000. .000.0
DO you know that only the best of
them are coming, and that Europe is
sending to us yearly it's biggest and
strongest and brightest boys and girls !?
Do you know what made the Irish prob
lem? Emigra ton. Do you know what
| makes Ireland so poor? The citizens OF
Boston and New York. The big Irish
boy came over here to run the politics
OF our great cities, and the big Irish
girl came to marry him sooner or later.
And they left the little Irish boy and
the little Irish girl, who did not have
the courage to cross the water, at home.
Don't say that we don't want these
immigrants. What We want is 10000
898 of immigrants for the desert States
of the Middle West And you ought to
stand for them, and you ought to know
why you stand for them. You need
20, 000, 600 of them for the State of
Texas. Then you'd have enough people
out there to buy the products of your
factories.

Olive Logan died last week in a mad
house just outside of London. She had
been deserted by her young husband,
which might have been expected. She
was deaf blind, insane penniless, the
subject of loathing and an object of
charity at the end. This despite the fact
that she had relatives in this country,
nephews and nieces, who got her few
trinkets and old lace. The selfishness of
the human race shows out at such times
in q most unlovely way. Olive Logan
had heart as big as an OK in her
primy days, and she lavfshed vast sums
on her friends. Only one of them, Lady
Cook, who was formerly one of the
Clafiin girls, finding her in poverty in
New York a year or two ago. took her
to London, and said that Olive should
never want again. Lady Cook went to
India, and in some way Olive Logan
failed OF getting the charity of her
friend; at any rate, her landlady had
her taken to the almshouse, and from
there she was carried to the madhouse,
where she died in poverty and alone.
