COOLING THE CONSUMER.

During the tariff discussions. Senator
Aldrich and others of his following
have repeatedly called attention to the
fact that consumers Of the taxed arti-
cIes under consideration had asked for
no reduction. He made this assertion
again on Friday in the debate on the
wool schedules as reason for suppos-
ing all the wool duties are perfectly sat
isfactory to the people of the country.
The senator is deluding himself if he
thinks the absence OF organized protest
signifies satisfaction with the duty in
any schedule. The manufacturers and
others benefited by a tax are always
represented. because il pays them to
be on hand; and in the senate finance
committee hearings il has been next
to impossible for any but the bene-
ficiaries Of the tariff 10 be heard at all.
The truth is. the great mass of con-
sumers. which is the large majority of
the people. suffers from the delusion
that the senators and congressman of
their respective states will appear in
their behalf and so make no effort 20
organize for their own benefit even
when they are in position 10 do so. And
that is SHY Senator AldTich is able TO
say without contradiction that there
has been no organized demand for such
tariff revision as the Republican plat
form promised.
However. the consumer IS not so in
different or so ignorant of what is be-
ing done tO-him in the tariff proceed
ings. as Mr.. Aldrieh seems TO believe.
II takes a long while to stir the wrath
of the American people. but indications
are plentiful that the day Of judgment
lis going TO come very promptly for the
Republican party If the final conference
on the tariff schedules sustains Mr.. Al
drich's opinion that there is no general
call for relief from the oppression of
high prices due TO monOpolies estab-
ushed under the shelter of a prohibitive
tariff.

TAFT AND THE BIG STICK.

There is considerable gossip just now
concerning the course President Taft
will take when the tariff bill is pre-
scented to him for signature. The other
day a dispatch was sent out from
Washington to the effect that Senator
Aldrich, Speaker Cannon and Chairman
Payne had been in conference with the
executive at the White house, and that
Mr. Taft was satisfied with the tariff
tinkering in congress so far as 1t had
proceeded. This statement was evil
IDENTIFY given out to counteract the
possible effect of the speech made in
Chicago by Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh, in which Mr.. Taft was
highly eulogized. but in the course OF
which the secretary took occasion to
say in regard to the tariff
1t seems to me that the chances are
largely in favor of a revision that the
people will accept.
What the people expect is what the
prOtectiOnist Republican party promised
in its last years platform. And while il
is talking against the wind TO argue that
the revision expected is not d revision
down. it would be equally futile to say
that the revision down was promised "a
be a revision down and out
In conclusion, one word about the
president. He too, seems to be of good
cheer as TO this tariff question. He seems
to place great reliance upon the wisdom
Of the congress and upon its public spirit
OF course, IL is easier to be complacent
when you know you have the last word
and that the last word is a combination
of language and big stick
This is the first mention of the big
stick" in connection with the present
administration. It has been generally
understood that the club of Roosevelt
went into the discard at the time Of th'
new deal If it is still in the White
house. and kept within reaching dis
lance of President Taft, prayers vii
ascend all over the land that he vii

THE WHEAT SHORTAGE.

An Indiana newspaper of last Tues
day records the sale To an Evansville
mill of "a carload of wheat at $1.61 per
bushel, and the report adds that it
was the last carload Of wheat IN the
state"
The price itself is extraordinary. but
the fact that the last carload of Indiana
wheat has gone to the mill is a phe-
nomenon worth recording. Probably no
such complete exhaustion Of the sup
ply has ever occurred in the state since
it was settled. Commenting on the sale,
the miller interested said he had been
unable 70 secure grain enough to run
more than one day i'm the week, and
after this carload is some he win have
20 shut down until the new crop comes
in two or three weeks from now.
In view Of such a situation in one OF
the best fan wheat states in the coun-
try. it is about time for the department
OF agriculture to revise its figures of
stocks on hand and confess that Mr..
Patten knew a good deal more about
the subject than did the department
with its thousands OF correspondents.
Also. 81 seems about time for a complete
reorganization OF the system Of esti-
mates used by the department. The
whole milling trade has depended upon
these estimates and been misled. with a
consequent loss Of millions of dollars.
Something is wrong somewhere when
government department with large
funds at its disposal misses its calcu-
latioHs by anywhere from 10000. 900 TO
100000 bushels-and insists that the
figures are correct
Any one of half a dozen board Of
trade firms gets more accurate stats
tics OF the grain trade than does the
agricultural department, and gets il
with considerably less expenditure Of
money That being the case. it is time
60 use the AK literally in Washington
and make a fresh start on the crop es-
innate business.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1909-06-13

the United States has made no claim as
to ownership as in the case of the
others.
Probably President Taft is the best
posted man in the United States on this
particular subject, and congress will
likely be inclined to carry out his
wishes to a greater or less extent, but
the idea Of a secretary Of state for the
colonies. OF even a bureau, viii go
against the grain Of many American
citizens who do not wish to embark
upon a career of conquest or hold any
alien peoples in a state Of subsection.
Much Of this feeling would be removed
if the government would give a definite
explanation Of its intentions as to the
Philippines, whether the islands are to
become independent and. if so. in how
many years
Colonies have always proved expen-
sive propositions. costing much blood
and treasure. and the United states it,
self is living example of the difficulty
experienced in governing a people by
sending over a satrap from across the
ocean. It is TO be hoped that President
Taft in his message TO congress next
winter on the subject will make his in
tentions in the premises perfectly
clear.

TIE cITY,s HEALTH.

An outsider reading two of the morn
ing newspapers Of Salt Lake might
think honestly that this is a pesthole
where disease stalks rampant, without
any effort being made to check it; and
that the health Of the entire population
is in danger hourly from any one of
half dozen diseases. Locally, the pub
lie understands that this exchange of
editorial amenities and incidental re-
Election on Salt Lakes desiTability as a
place OF residence, is only part Of pc
itical game: but the innocent outsider
has no such illumination to guide him,
and may well be alarmed il he believes
what he reads
As a matter OF fact the city health
department has been negligent, it has
not enforced the quarantine laws as
strictly as It should, its employees have
rot been diligent nor has the head of

of purity and copiousness, its climate

as one could ind anywhere, and the
very large proportion Of its citizens OBJ

tency.
If any salt Lake newspaper must
abuse its neighbor, it seems TO us il
could find "a better subject than one thai
involves a libel on the whole commune
~ and is certain to infiict material
damage. No one believes that a news
paper would deliberately spread small
pox 20 discredit a city official nor does
the most foolish suppose seriously thai
any disastrous epidemic is threatened
by official carelessness.
