TAFT PRAISES PAYNE BILL.

1 nave signed the Payne tariff bill
because l believe it to be the result
of sincere effort on the part of the
Republican party to make a down
ward revision and to comply with the
promises of the platform as they have
been generally understood and as l
interpreted Them in the campaign be-
fore election.
This is not perfect tariff bill, or a
complete compliance with the prom
ises made strictly interpreted, but
fulfillment free from criticism in re-
spect to SUBJ &C matter involving
many schedules and thousands of ar
ticles could not be expected 1t suf-
fees to say that, except with regard
to whisky, liquors and wines, and in
regard to silks and as to some high
classes of cottons-all of which may
be treated as luxuries and proper sub
jects of revenue tariff--there have
been very few increases in rates.
There have been great number
of real decreases in rates, and they
constitute a sufficient amount to JUS
tify the statement that this bill is a
substantial downward revision and
reduction of excessive rates. This is
not free trade bill 1t was not in
tended to be. The Republican party
did not promise to make a free trade
bill
The Philippine tariff section l haze
struggled to secure for ten years past,
and it gratifies me exceedingly by
my signature to give it the effect of
law. am sure it will greatly in
crease the trade between the two coun-
tries, and it will do much to build
up the Philippines in healthful pros
perity.
The corporation tax is a just and
equitable excise measure, which, it is
hoped, will produce a sufficient
amount to prevent deficit and which
incidentally will secure valuable sta
tistics and information concerning the
many corporations of the country, and
will constitute an important step to-
ward that degree of publicity and reg
ulation which the tendency in cor
porate enterprises in the last twenty
years has shown to be necessary.

FAMOUS BLUE LAWS" KILLED.
Liberal Views Defeat 1922 Statute
Sunday Baseball Now Possible.

Both houses of the Connecticut Leg
islature Wednesday passed bill re-
pealing the so-called blue laws re-
lating to Sunday observance, which
forbid almost every form OF recreation
and secular activity The laws, which
have been seldom enforced are relics
of 1922. One law specifically repealed
provides for a fine of 81 on each per-
son who shall attend a concert or en-
tertainment on the Lords day The
new Sunday bill is short. 1t defines
the Sunday and prohibits all sports
and secular activities except such as
are demanded by necessity and mercy
and such as are for the general wei
fare of the community" The penal
section provides both fines and impris
onment for violation Under the words
general welfare of the community
Sunday baseball is probably permit
ted, and the advocates of the bill ad
NIT that the courts must interpret the
wording in several places.
