New Tariff Commission Is
Merely Aid to President

1t is hardly conceivable that men
charged with this task win ind time
to give much attention to any other
phase Of the tarif question.
The general misunderstanding as to
the real character and purpose OF the
so-called commission Is in fact due
largely to President Taft The presi-
dent favors tariff commission and
the enactment of tariff law based
upon absolute knowledge Of the diff
ferences in the cost Of production
here and abroad and all other mat
tiers which should enter into q proper
adjustment of the tariff schedules SO
as to afford justice to all classes of
producers and consumers alike.
A man striving to work at night
with but one electric light left would.
If that light went out. be placed very
much in the position in which the
president found himself. But the
president could not admit that Aldrich
had switched off the electric current
which gave life to the commission pro-
vision. Instead he was compelled to
make the best OF what had been left
to him. end he declared in his state
ment approving the tariff bill that he
had no doubt he could utilize the men
TO be selected as his assistants in get
ting just the information which COM
mission would be created to obtain.
The appropriation from which their
work will be paid for is $4,000. With
this sum they are expected to hire all
the clerks and experts necessary. pay
all travelling expenses and defray all
other expenses to which they may be
subjected.
With Aldrich and Cannon in control
Of the two houses of congress it is
an open secret that. were the men,
bers of the commission to attempt to
Go anything outside the duties pre-
scribed for them b. the law itself. the
appropriation would be cut down at
the next session SO AS to restrict them
as Aldrich and Cannon would have
them restricted.

Washington. Sept. 1S.-President
Taft's appointment of the members
Of the so-callad tariff commission has
been received with greater misappre-
hension ttan any official act for some
time.
High protectionists because OF the
character of the men appointed. see
in the presidents action an attack
upon the protective system. Advocates
of scientifically made tariff to pro
mote the best interests of the country
and of the abandonment of the AID
rich-Cannon system of tariff graft.
which has prevailed SO long. have
seen in the appointments a step to-
ward the realization of their hopes.
Both are wrong. The tariff board
has to deal merely with the admins
tration Of maximum and minimum
features of the new tariff law.
This law provides that II any coun-
try or political division Of a country
latons discriminates against the I'm
tied States in any manner. then the
maximum provisions Of the tariff law
shall be enforced against that coun.
try or division. but If after investiga.
ton 1t is found that a country does
not discriminate against the United
States then the minimum rates Of the
law shall be left in force.
To enable the president to ascer'
tain which countries do discriminate
if any, and which do not, the law au
thorized the president to name a mum
Der of assistants whose task it shall
be to obtain all Information respect
ing the operation of the tariff laws OF
every country and to watch all tariff
legislation in every country in order
that they may keep the president ad
vised as to which rates. the maximum
or the minimum. of the tariff law oil
the United States shall be enforced
against the various nations of the
phase Of the tariff question.

HAMILTON CITIZENS DENOUNCE
SENATE BILL NO. 1S.
OBJECT TO WATER DISTRICT
City Hall Crowded Last Night With
Indignant Property Owners Who
Want the Bill Killed.

"Vicious," ''ingenious," lad
vised" and other stronger adjectives
were applied to senate bill No. IS at a
mass meeting of indignant Hamilton
citizens in the city hall last night.
There was large crowd present and
numerous speeches were made. Rep
resentative c, M. Crutchfield presided.
The bill, which has passed the SEN
house committee on irrigation and
public works, provides for the crea-
tion of a water district under the juris-
diction of three commissioners with
exclusive powers. The bill was intro
duced at the instance of the Bitter
Root Valley Irrigation company. I'm
der its provisions, it is claimed ,
small irrigation systems in the
valley would be, in effect, absorbed,
as they would be included in the dis
trict, and the larger company, owning
the most land in the district, would
have arbitrary control of the water
supply. It was also contended by the
opponents of the bill that it was pos
sible, under it's provisions, for the COM
pany to bond the entire district, thus
making the holdings of the small land
owners stand as security for a mort
gage contracted by the controlling
, interests.
The bill is voluminous, containing in
its printed form SO pages.
Heated discussion was provoked.

SHOULD SUPPORT
HOME NURSERIES
Splendid Paper Read at Meet
ing of Horticultural Society
Last Week.
(By 7. E. Mills.)

Are our home nurseries properly
and Loyalty supported by our own
people? Yes, Loyalty enough by the
few, but l will go so far as to say
that the majority of residents who
buy nursery and such stock do not
get it from within the borders of the
state.
This might seem sweeping state
ment, especially coming as it does at
the beginning of my paper. But the
figures below, courteously supplied by
Mr.. Wallisch, the secretary of the
state board of horticulture, will help
my contention considerably. These
show that no less than coo, $50 fruit.
shade trees, ETC., were shipped into
Montana in 1907, and last year the
number went up to no less than l.
O39 800, an increase of over $50, 900 or
fifty percent over and above the fig
ure of 1907. Aud while this shows
that we are lovers of the garden, it
tells a melancholy tale of how Mon
tanans support outside nurseries.
The person who patronizes his own
nurseries is bound to get stock suited
to Montana, is enabling the nursery
man of his state to build up his in
stitutiou to the credit and benefit of
the state; and he is keeping his
money at home. Now, if the home
nurseryman cannot supply what is
wanted land he cannot reasonably be
expected 10 have evervthing), why not
give him chance to obtain what is
required, from another Montana nur-
sery, or if needs be, to send outside
the state for it. The nurseryman
will very proa baby be in position
to get what the customer wants much
better than the latter could himself,
and as it is most natural that the
nurseryman wishes to build up his
