TARIFF BILL IN FOUR WEEK q.

President Taft is credited with the
opinion that the Senate and House
will he able to reach an agreement on
a tariff act within four weeks. With
ont reference to any facts bearing on
the proha of the casa, 1t re-
Quircs little argument to show why
people should hope the President is
well advised with reference to his
statement.
When the present year began the
business men of the United states as
with one voice cried out for the OPP
portunitv to do business. The panic
OF 1907 had been followed by the nat
ional election of 1908. either one OF
which would naturally seriously in
terrupt business Then followed the
beginning of the effort to frame tar
iN measure. which inevitably unset
uncertainty in all lines liable to ne
affected by tariff changes. AS re-
suit the business men of the l'nite1
States have not had what might he
called a fair chance for several years.
This being the situation one Of the
chief demands heard throughout the
country ia that the tariff question be
disposed of with the least possible de-
lay consistent with the contamination
of the work OF the tariff trainers in a
satisfactory manner. IF the country
could be assured that the tariff bill
would be submitted to President TAFT
in four weeks. the people would hcaye
4 deep sigh OF relief.

THE TANNING OF AUTOMcByLcs.

The law passed by the IegisIature

grounds of opposition was that the

We recently showed that the law.

imposed a tax on automobiles accord

pircs that a similar situation exists in
Pennsylvania. According to the law

to take out license costing the same
money. A visiting motorist can enter
the State for n period of ten days
without payment of any registration

CANaLS-NEW YORK AND GER

Gov. Hughcs's act in signing the bill
to submit to the people next fall the
Cayuca- Senc, a Canal bill is assailed by
short-sighted railroad men. The people
of tho state in general should commend
it now and later support It,
New York State alone has one-uua rter
the area, one-seventh of the population
and onc-half the wealth of the German
Empire, Trough its soil runs the canal
outlet of an area more populous than
itself. nearly as wealthy and many
times more extensive an area whose cx-
ports and whose sales to the Atlantic
seal board are of vast value and perhaps
Of greater weight and bulk than Ger
manys entire commercial movement.
To facilitate cheap transportation be-
tween its river valleys. and to save part
of its own commerce from seeking the
sea by the shortest routes through
France and Belgium, Germany is spend
ing and preparing to spend Il far greater
sum upon canals and canalized rivers
than New York contemplates expendng.
In Germany the government railroad
arrangement welcomes the assistance of
the canals in carving the slow freight.
New York Is rebuilding the main stem
Of the Erie Canal to retain it's through
traffic, to furnish an economic outlet for
the Great Lakes freight and to keep 1t
from seeking the sea through Canada.
In time the State should add to the main
stem not only the Cayuga Seneca but
other branches to handle its own local
freight and to bring cheaper coal from
Pennsylvania.
