TARIFF BILL INVITES TRADE

to be levied This will shut France out
Of our markets.
Frances Attitude Example.
Why does France give other coun-
tries lower rates than it does the
United States? Because those coun
tIies thus favored give France better
rates than this country. They MAKE
cheir tariff rates so low that French
manufacturers can compete in then
markets, while the United States Ell
forces such high tariff rates against
France that French merchants are to
Il greater or lesser degree barred from
cur markets.
"Give us low tariff rates so We car
snip to the United States" says France
"and We will give you low rates sc
you can sell your products in our mar
kets. After we sell our products i
your markets we will buy in your mar
Eets. But il you raise your tarif
rates you will shut us out of your ma.
kets completely, and then we will no
buy of you, but will patronize Englan,
Iand Germany Also. if you raise yol
rates against our products, why 'shoui'
we not raise our rates against you
products?''

! The question is: Is France justifie'
J, in giving lowest rates to those cour
tries that give lowest rates to Frenc
ILroducts?
In view of our decision to add the .

France is now considering, the advi

Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
Washington. July S-"To the ma
tions of the earth-reduce your tariff
rates against. products of the United
States, no matter if We are advancing
our rates against your products, or we
will shut you out of American markets
completely by adding 25 per cent ad
vaiorem duty to the regular tariff
rates against all articles you may wish
to ship in.
This is substantially the threat con-
tanned in section 2 of the Payne-Ald-
rich bill, against which Senators Shiv-
civ of Indiana and Hughes of Colorado
fought SO hard. and ON which Senators
Aldrich and Smoot ct al. "stood pat,
thus securing its adoption.
- Fear Trade War.
Now a few senators of even marked
conservative temperaments fear that
this provision will engage this coun
| try in a trade war with a number oi
nations with which we now enjoy the

Section provides that the 25 pei
cent duty shall remain added to tn;
rates on all products of those coun
tries that in any way discriminate
against the United States. This woult
seem fair proposition on its face. bu
when the facts are considered the sit

Speaker Declares He Was
Moved by Friendship
for West.
FREELY CRITICISED.
Conferees Lose No Time in Get
ting Down to Work on
Tariff Bill.

Washington, July 10.-An explana-
ton was made today on behalf of
Speaker Cannon, that the controlling
motive with him in selecting the
house conferees ON the tariff bin had
been the question of location. His
chief desire was that all sections of the
country especially interested in the
tariff should have representation on
the committee.
Middle West Favored.
Finding the middle west had half
the population, half the wealth and
half the volume of production, and es-
pecially that half of the republican
representation in the house hailed
from that section, he decided it should
have the larger representation on the
conference than it possibly could have
if the conference committee had been
composed according to the rule of
precedence among the members of the
house ways and means committee.
East Would Have Had Four.
according to that system the Missis-
sippi valley country would have been
represented by Boutell alone, while
the eastern states would have had four
representatives, including two from
New England. This the speaker con
sidered would be an unequitable dis
tribution. He therefore passed over
Hill of Connecticut and piaeed Caifef-
head of Kansas and Fordney of Aich-
igan on the committee Needham OF
California was left off, according to
this explanation because the Pacific
coast has very few interests involved
in the pending bill.
President Center of Interest.
Now thatthe tariff bill has reached
conference between the senate and
the house and the president is expect
ed to exert what influence he consid-
ers. proper in getting the measure into
acceptable shape, the White house
again has become the center of inter
est to organizations and interests af
fected by the changes in schedules. A
number of New England shoe and
leather men were introduced to the
president by Senator Lodge today and
talked to Taft of the necessity of ad
mitting hides free.

CONFERENCE APPOINTMENTS

agree it may be possible to reach an
agreement within 10 days.
The two leaders, however, are not
so sanguine of their ability of getting
the conferees' report adopted speedily
after ii has been presented to both
houses.
Criticism for Cannon.
The manner in which the house con
conferees were selected by Speaker
Cannon is occasioning much criticism
in the house, and an effort is being
made to have Taft take part in the
threatened controversy.
According to the current report,
Payne sought to have the republican
conferees named in order of their SEN
iority, as was done in the senate.
Speaker Cannon chose the conferees
himself, ignoring Hill of Connecticut,
and Needham of California, Calder
head of Kansas, and Fordney of Mich
igan, who were named in spite of the
fact that they are outranked by Hill
and Needham, are declared to be
"standpatters" of most pronounced
type.

the statement he did not consent to
Cannons selection, until after he had
entered a vigorous protest. 1t is cur

Payne was powerless to prevent the
speaker from selecting such conferees
as he chose. After his conference with
the speaker he is said to have said he
believed the conferees had been cho-
sen with a view to putting the tariff
bill through as speedily as possible
along senate lines. By this was meant
that the house conferees were expect
ed to acquiesce in the principal in
creases in the rates that had been
made by the senate.
