FUTURE OUTLOOK
VERY BRIGHT
1909 Will Probably be a Banner
Year for Grand Rapids.

Unless all present signs fail, the
summer of 1909 will be a memorable
one in the history of Grand Rapids
year of the city's awakening from
the lethargic condition in which it
apparently has SO long reposed.
The building outlook for the com
ing year is becoming more favorable
every day. Dozens of new homes are
already planned for, and several bust
ness blocks, and public buildings, in
Guiding a new $4,000 Wood County
National Bank.
A new Congregational Church, and
possibly city hall and public library
Last but not least, the building of
the Grand Rapids, Nekoosa and Port
Edwards electric railway, and the
laying of a new line by the Wilson's
sin Central r. R. is destined to
make this a year of unprecedented
business activity.
Most people do not take the matter
Of building into consideration until
later in the year. SO it is hardly pos
sible at this time to estimate the

A Pretty Comedy

Nine chances to one that the at

fail. when an attempt will be made by
both factions of the republican party
to crawl under the same old vermn in

has been vindicated

Insurance Rates Reduced

1t is a significant fact that fire insur-
ance rates have been reduced from %
to % per cent. on every class of prop
erty the Northwestern Mutual of Sc
attic is competing for, while on all
classes of property it is not actively
competing for, the rates have not been
reduced. 1t is also significant that the
Northwestern Mutual is still returning
its policy holders an average cash prof
fit of more than 40 per cent on these
Reduced rates.

promises it would be relegated to
the minority.
The president now asserts for the
first time his authority as the titular
head of his party. AS such he an
nOunCeS his conviction that party
platform meant a revision down
ward, and that no other interpre-
tation can be placed upon 1t.
This was the general opinion
of the tariff. as claimed by the de
tenders of the protective system
not in every case, but as general
rule that of course revision OF
the tariff could not be perfect
must have defects and inconsistent
Cies, but insofar as his influence
went when called upon to act Ill
connection with legislation, it
would be thrown in the direction
of performing the promises of the
party as he understood them; and
that if iron ore and oil and coal
and hides did not need protection
and the conditions were such as to
enable the home producers of hides
to complete successfully without
reduction of wages with the pro-
duCers from abroad then they did
not need a duty, and their articles
should go on the free list.
1t was a question of fact with
respect to which he hoped to make
up his mind on such evidence as
WAS available to him in order to
carry out what he understood to be
the promises of the party to the
whole people He said he ielt that
his position as the titular head of
the republican party and as presl =
dent gave him a somewhat broader
point Of view than that of any
member of congress in respect to
articles produced in his single dis
triCt
He felt strongly the call for a
downward revision within the lmi-
tations of the protective principle,
and he hoped to be able to respond
to that call as he heard it, as well
in the interests of the party as OF
the country.

PRESIOENT TAFT STANDS PAT

" ASHTNGToN, July 49, All
doubt as to where President Taft
stands with regard to the down
ward revision of the tariff was
swept away today when a state
ment was given out at the White
House setting forth in detail what
the president had to say to twenty
three republican members of con
SreNN who called to protest against
putting raw materials on the free
list.
The president in this statement
declared that the republican party
was committed to a downward re
VISION; that he never had any other
idea of the Chicago platform, and
mat he personally has promised a
downward revision.
This statement is interpreted in
some quarters here tonight as a
direct notification to the Confcrees
ON the tariff bill that if the measure
they finally agree upon does not
constitute material reduction in
specific duties the president will
exercise his power of veto.
Dictated in the third person, the
statement concludes with this final
word OF the presidents attitude as
outlined to his callers:
He felt strongly the call of the
country for a downward revision
within the limits of the protective
principles. and he hopec to be able
To respond to that call as he heard
* as we'll in the interests of the
party as of the country.'
The president 5 statement created
a sensation tonlRhtamonR senators
and representatives. Senator Aid
rich made 40 direct comment upon
il but said the conferees had de,
cidcd to let Mr.. Taft deal with
schedules upon which they could
not agree it being up to the presi-
dent TO secure the votes necessary
To- pass the measure in the form in
which it would be reported ont OF
conference, as result of his medi-
alton between the house and the
senate Couferees.
President Taft, up to this time,
has not permitted himself to be
quoted in connection with the tar
ift struggle This frame of mind
was indicated in his New Haven
speech ON June 50, however, III
which he warned the republican
party that if ii did not keep its
