TAFT IS SATISFIED
WITH TARIFF BILL
President Pleased Nth Results of
Dinner Conference and Says "a
Has Been Misunderstood on
Raw Materials.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-In discuss
ing today the results OF last nights
tariff dinner at the White House, Prest-
dent Taft expressed himself as entirely
satisfied.
He called attention today to the fact
that he has been misunderstood as de-
manding free raw materials all along
the line. ~
The presidents position as matter
of fact as outlined in his statement Of
Friday last, was that he favored an
inquiry to find out what degree Of pro-
lection, If any, was necessary In the
matter Of ore, hides, coal, etc.
The president has not committed
himself trretrievably to free hides, free
coaL free oil and free iron ore, and the
fact that he called attention TO this
fact today leads to the impression at
the White House that some sort OF
working basis is about to be reached.
The president declared with refer
ence to the placing of raw materials on
the free list, especially hides, that his
chief interest now lay in finding out
what could be done with reference to
manufactured products. Western sena-
tors who are lighting the proposition
TO put hides on the free list are using
their best endeavors to have a change
made in the manufactured goods sched-
ule to offset any concession they may
have to make win regard to the duty
on hides.
TAFT NOT OPTIMISTIC.
President Taft was not optimistic In
his talks today as to the time that will
be required to whip the measure into
shope, but he is hopeful that a confer
ence report will be possible by Satur-
day or Monday.
An effort was made at last nights din
per to have President Taft agree to a
tw-years' limitation of the corporation
tax. He declined to do so. This mat
ter was gone into at the time, the tax
was suggested and 1t was then decided
that no time should be placed upon the
measure.
Certain adherents of the income tar
who voted for the corporation tax as q
substitute would not have lent their sup
port to the measure with the time limit
ed to two years. The president proposes
rs shalt be protected.
The conferees reported to President Taft
that they would reach an agreement OH
all save six or seven of the subjects
about which they expected to find consid-
cradle difficulty in reaching a definite I'M

coal iron ore, lumber. leather goods and

ufactured products list.
AS to compromise on hides, the west
ern senator's who are pposed to placing
hides on the free list have told the pres
ident that anything less than the Is per
cent futy proposed in the senate would
he NJ no use to them.

the old idea that possession, whether OF
state ONCE or vacant lot, is nine points
of the law. 81
Mr.. McLendon's presence in the ONCE of
the railroad commission is purely formal.
During the investigation, he invariably
returned there and spent an hour or so
before leaving for home. Since the In
vestigation he has gone there every morn
ing, remaining short time before return
ing home.
EMBARRASsEs OTHERS.
This procedure causes the other COM
missioners some little embarrassment, and
while Mr.. McLendon Is In his office. they
adjourn to another to transact business.
When he leaves, the board meets back In
the usual place. Mr.. McLendon frequents
the Office on the counsel of his advisers.
His action, moreover. has reused crit
icism of him on the score of the irnpro-
priety Of 1t, and considerable protest has
been made.
Mr.. McLendon will have to make out
much stronger case. 1t is contendecl, IN
the courts than he did before the investi-
eating committee in the event the lsgisla-
ture sustains former Governor Smith.
The law gives the state the benefit OF the
doubt in all litigation affecting 1t.
COMMITTEES MEET
The joint senate and house investigating
committees met at the capitol at 200
o'clock Thursday afternoon. This meet
ing, however, was purely a formal one.
Its purpose was to prepare brief state
ment of the facts that 1t had secured and
had printed all the evidence IN the Nc
Tendon case, and was presenting It here
with to the house. No other comment viii
be made -
1t is not likely that the evidence will be
