ALL AGAINST DELAY
VOTERS ARE FOR IMMEDIATE
TARIFF REVISION.
Pledge Given the Country by the Re-
publican Party Must Be Redeemed
President Taft Does Well
to Be insstent.

The tariff bill ought to be out of
ought to be the limit 1t can be given
the necessary consideration and be
disposed of by that date. And the
people can help materially to that de-
sirable end. They should not let
their representatives forget that they
are watching the work, or TO labor un-
der the impression that they are not
interested. President Taft has taken
the commendablepositi that prompt
action is of the utmost Importance.
He may well continue TO impress that
fact on the members of congress and
he should have the active assistance
Of all the people in that task.
Responsibility for result will rest
upon the Republican party. It has
been charged by the people with tar
if revision and the people expect that
the majority of congress will redeem
that pledge without unnecessary de-
lay. The pledge was for immediate
revision, not for revision any old
time. President Taft has shown his
obedience to the mandate by calling
the congress in extra session. The
majority party in congress must do
the rest. 1t has an ample working
majority and it must drop personal
differences, get together and pass the
bill 1t should give the country the
best bill it is capable of in the inter
est of the whole people, but it should
do the thing at an early date
Some changes in the bin of the
committee on ways and means seem
to be necessary and proper. The rule
should provide for these. They ought
to be made with as little delay as
may be. Then there is nothing for
the majority in the house to do but
stand together and pass the bill. The
senate should be very careful in tear
ing down the work of the committee
and of the house The majority in
that body is also responsible. 1t
ought to be reminded of its respon-
sibility by its constituents in all parts
of the country and held to it's duty,
which is plain enough. 1t may be
conceded proper that the senate
should make some changes, but the
fathers obviously did not intend that
the senate should alter the character
of revenue bills or they would not
have provided that such measures
should originate in the lower branch.
1t is time now for everybody to push.
Business waits.

Free Iron, Wood and Hides.

. The time has come TO provide for a
larger supply of iron ores by tariff
which will admit new deposits. like
these in Cuba, by reciprocity or by
ore free altogether The demand for
this has undoubtedly been strength
ened by the policy of the steel trust.
publicly announced by President
Gary, to maintain steel quotations.
The maintenance of ore prices over
the, depression has made natural and
inevitable new ore supplies.
Forestry agitation and high lumber
held by few hands, has educated the
public to recognition that our lumber
conditions have changed Our great
wood industries need access to new
supplies. The boot and shoe manufac-
turers, now yearly reporting their
product, have the SAME view on hides,
and the relations of the meat trust to
the domestic supply of hides and leath-
er, whose price has been supported
through depression, influence public
opinion.-Phiadelp Press.

The Double Plan.

The charge is made that the Payne
INSTRUMENTATION plan must involve
us in worldwide trade war and com
pei us to impose maximum duties on
a large proportion of our imports. But
why should it have those effects?
With countries which have only a
single schedule tariff, and which ap-
ply that single schedule without dis
eliminating against the United States,
our trade relations will adjust them
selves automatically under the Payne
scheme. Such countries will get at
once the benefit of our minimum
rates. In that class are Great Britain
Canada, Australia, the other British
possessions, Mexico, Cuba, Japan,
China and most of the countries of
Central and South America. Probably
from three-fifths to two-thirds Of our
present export trade is with coun-
tries with which we are already on a
most favored nation footing. There
does not seem to us to be any valid
reason for doubling that countries
like Germany and France, which have
Observation-Disclosures rates, will be glad
to continue to- trade with us on a ba-
sis of equality. Why should they want
to handicap themselves in the eompe-
tition for American business? Ger
many is Great Britain's most active
European rival in manufactures, com
merce and transportation, She can
not afford to allow Great Britain an
easier entry than she herself enjoys
into the American market Economic
pressure will force Germany end
France to seek the benefit of our mini
mum schedules at the small price of
admitting American products at the
same rates that are laid on similar
products from other nations.

TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN
To Raise Necessary Revenue, Articles
of Universal Consumption
Must Be Taxed.

Opposition to the Payne tariff bin
has been made on the familiar plat
form of tariff for revenue only. That
is the British system-taX imports
that will be imported tax internal
products that will be produced. But
every attempt of the Payne bill to
raise revenue by duties on articles OF
universal import and consumption has
been met with protest that such taxes
therefore, to be avoided Says the
Portland Oregonian:
will anybody tell how to get large
tariff revenues without duties on ar
ticles of universal consumption? Du-
ties on luXuries and costly goods, how
ever high, will supply only small sums
small for a government that must
have $l,000,O00,000 year. No tariff
will be framed that will bring in large
revenues and yet please the mass of
consumers
The trouble with the demand for a
tariff for revenue that shall levy n
appreciable taxes, and therefore no
revenue, is that it is not sincere. That
is why it ends in a fizzle. revenue
tariff means the taxation. not of silks,
diamonds, kid gloves and velvets, for
these are of too limited use to Yield
much revenue, but of articles of uni
versal consumption like those on which
the British government raises it's Gus.
toms revenues = sugar, coffee, tea,
spirits, tobacco, cocoa, currants and
raisins.
No, there is no sincerity in it. The
sole purpose is to complain of the
tariff bill, whatever is done-if protec-
tive, then that it taxes the poor. Pro
lection, when it is complete, leads to
free trade. The protective tariff, when
it has brought forth, yields the reve-
nue. tariff; and when we get the reve-
nue. tariff we can accept it like hon
est men or cry out like babies that o
revenue tariff means taxes-that
