trial onditions-situation Again
Brings to Front Proposal for Per-
manent Tariff Commission.
Especial Correspondence.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The pressing
situation are having the manifest effect
of staggering hope for scientific, sys-
tematic, logical revision of the tariff.
If the immense surplus of two years
ago had continued piling up. there is
small doubt revision at this time would
have been the real thing. The country
was in the frame of mind for 1T. and
the tariff was looked upon, not as the
obvious instrument for raising reve-
nues. but as the natural channel thru
which TO sluice off the upper layer of
surplus A more complete reversal or
form could not be conjured. AT the
height of Astounding prosperity the
whole country had come to the impress
sion OF business security and conf
dence which made the tariff look fnsig-
nifcant as means to maintaining that
prosperity Today there is not nearly
so much assurance of the destined
commercial supremacy OF the United
States as there used to be- There Is
cialnor for foreign markets IN order
that outlet may be had for American
goods: but there is vastly more con-
Germ about preserving the home mar
ket than there was when factories were
running overtime and unable to keep
UP with orders, and when freight con-
gestion was the complaint in every
terminal city in the land.
Revision Is Apparent.
Thus there has been q measure OF
revulsion against too much tariff
pruning. But the real determining in
fiuence with congress is the state of
the revenues. The more conservative
attitude of the public mind is largely
Offset by the fact that so many leaders
of big industry have come forward and
sided with the revisionists When An
drew Carnegie, king of steel. de-
clares for free steel; when John w.
Gates, whose brain projected the United
States Steel corporation, declares for
free steel, coal and lumber; when Isaac
Stephenson. one of Athe wealthiest ana
most experienced OF the lumber multi
lnillionaires declares fatty for free
lumber pulp and pulp wood; when
the New England shoe manufacturers
are willing to give up their protection
on shoes if only they may have tree
hides: and when the great livestock IN
terests of the west show less concern
about that hides tariff then ever be-
fore-when all these evidences of the
more liberal attitude of protected in
dustry are brought out in the tariff
hearings, it is small wonder that the
ultra protectionsts are moved to mis-
giving their strength.
Will Be Emergency Act.
So it may be said that developments
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1909-01-09

justify the expectation that the Payne
tariff measure will be good deal OF
an emergency act. It will come far
from rejecting the present day, nor
NAL, average judgment Of the country
about tariff. 1t will be an attempt at
combination Of protection and revenue
ideas, and the belief grows strong that
1t will be one of the shortest lived tar
ifs of recent times. 1t will live longer
than the Mckinley act, but not nearly
so long as the Dinisley.
All this uncertainty about the tar
if future brings emphasis to the de-
mand for removal of tariff from the do
main of politics The tariff commission
idea is stronger In congress, by far.
than it was last spring. Discussions of
the proposal by members OF both
houses impress this conclusion. When
the Beveridge tariff commission pro-
posal was laid before the senate 1t
seemed to have a small chance of be-
coming a serious possibility in cons
structiVe legislation for many years.
The protectionists would not hear of 1T.
They were not sufficiently concerned
about 1t to take it seriously.
Commission Grows in Favor.
Today 1t is different. The idea Of
a commission, with general powers oil
adjusting the schedules to the condi-
tions which everybody knows will rap
idly and sharply change as business
conditions improve, is taken most
cheerfully by a fast increasing num-
Der of people. They foresee that a tar
if measure passed now must be more
or less tirne-servny 1t will be anti
quated after a year of good times. Is
congress then to go back to the tariff.
and concentrate Its energies for an
other special session, or for long ses-
sion, on making new set of schedules
to meet changed conditions? There IS
protest against the idea, among bus1-
ness men and public men alike; and es-
pecially among the members OF con-
gress who consider themselves pro-
gressives. and want more time of con-
gress to legisIate on other questions in
which they are Interested.
See Fight Ahead.
Out of all this mixture Of interests
and attitudes. it is becoming clear that
there will develop. at some time dur
ing the tariff contest In the houses. a
fight, and probably a fight in each
house. over a proposition to hitch to
the tariff bill provision for tariff
commission The matter is not formu-
lated into n definite proposal yet, but
caucuses. conferences, discussions and
efforts at agreement on some specific
plan are certain to be the order OF the
day before the tariff measure Is finally
passed.

Heavy Steers, Which Were Slow
Bellers, Weak Spot in
Weeks Market
Prizes About Five Lower, Market Being
Weak Thru Lack of Interest and
Absence Of Demand Not Much
Activity in Sheep Market, Which
Held Steady, However.

Chicago, Jan. 9. - Cattle - The u.s.
ual Saturday conditions prevailed, and
the market closed nominally steady.
In spite of heavy receipts during the
week, there have been satisfactory
market prices, tending upward in most
classes and grades, the weak spot be-
ing heavy steers, which weree slow
sellers.
Taking the week as a whole, demand
was very satisfactory for shippers had
long orders till late in the week when
they suddenly put the lid on and
bought sparingly. Local buyers We're
also inclined to pull out of the mar
ket and since Wednesday business has
been unusually dull.
At no previous time this season has
the discrimination against the heavy
steers been so emphatic. Cattle above
1900 pounds We're unpopular all week,
and even at the best time did not show
any material improvement and showed
the most decline when the trade was
most depressed. Buyers claim that
the call is for light cuts OF meat and
they have surplus Of heavy cuts
which are hard to get rid of. The de-
mand was for cheap cattle and these
grades are about as high as a week
ago. while all the heavy steers, and
especially those which sold above S6.25,
are 10000 lower than week ago.
Buyers are expecting liberal supply

on that account that they cut OIL their

classed with the luxuries. They are
higher than a cats back at dog fight.
All the killers are wanting little fat
heifers and competition has elevated
prices to dizzy limit Good heifers
sold this week at $5D6 and few
scattering heifers of superior quality
sold up to $3.50 with car loads 1T
1925. These are the highest prices in
twenty years for fat heifers at this
time of the year. The figures show that
the stuff is scarce and what scares
buyers most is that it is going to be
still scarcer before they get enough.
Beef eaters want light cuts and con-
sequently anything in the yearlins
class is selling high. Discrimination IS
against weight and much favor IS
shown for the tiny little heifers which
yield the kind of meat the butchers
want.
Hogs.
Hogs were weak, thru lack OF In
terest and absence of demand. Prices
We're about sc lower than yesterday.
Five-day receipts at these markets
are practically 100000 less than year
ago. local supply showing a decrease
of $4,000. Shipping demand on the
other hand, is much better than at
that time In five days this week ship
pers have taken around $1,000 hogs
against $4,000 last week, less than So
600 a year ago. If this shipping de-
mand continues unabated the 7-cent
