PRESIDENT ON
The TARIFF
Mr.. Taft Tells Newspaper
Men Some of His Views
on the Schedules.
WASHINGTON BUSY SCENE


Washington, July 12:-President Taft
today met all the newspaper correspon-
dents giving certain Of MS tariff views.
He said he did not favor side-tfaekipg
the corporation tax to- make way -.
the Inheritance tax. he is indifferent,
however, whether the tax is Two per
cent. or lower, as long as it meets the
fnancials needs of the government.
He is emphatically against taxing
holding companies, believing that such
double taxation is unjust and probably
would be held unconstitutional by tha
supreme court. He favors the maxi
mum and minimum tariff paragraphs as
drawn by the Senate in preference to
those drawn in the House, believing
the former is less drastic.
Realizing that the tariff bill is in ths
last stages of construction, representa<
tives of the manufacturers and pros
dueers in the every line of business afs
feeted in the schedules are here today
seizing every opportunity to secure
notifications, or are working hard to
retain an advantage already written in
the proposed measure. Hotels and
boarding houses are jammed with inter-
ested parties.
All through yesterday sunday, the
members of the conference committee
had busy time protecting themselveG
from suppiicants
The republican members of the con-
ference committee met at 10 oicloek
this morning exposing to sit continu-
ously until late this evening.
The metal schedule was continued
where it was left off Saturday. 1t is
believed that this schedule will be eom-
pleted before night. Lumber, sugar,
tobacco, agricultural implements and
wines and liquors are next in order. A.
compromise between the senate and fhs

CROPS BEING RUINED

Trenton, July 12:-According to
reports received by the State Board

Just returned from a trip to nearly
every county, New Jersey is fast dry
ing up in one of the worst droughts
that has been known for years. I'm
less there is rain within few days
there will be great loss and suffer
ing. There has been no general rain
for six weeks, and the few local
showers that have fallen have
brought little relief.
Mr.. Lee cites as result. of the
drought the burning this week of
three hundred acres of cranberry
bogs, valued at $4,000, belonging
to Joseph White, of Hanover, Bur-
lington county. In an ordinary sea-
son these bogs would be so wet that
there would be no possibility of fire
In them.
Swamp huckleberries will hardly
show half crop. All farm crops
are suffering. Blackberries, rasp-
berries and potatoes are drying up,
field corn is stunted and all vegeta-
bles are so backward that merchants
are raising pTiCts
In many places hay is selling at
the winter price of from SIS to $40
per, ton. Peaches, apples and other
fruits are suffering, and tomatoes
for canning will be scarce. Wells
are giving out.
The Delaware river is the lowest
it has been in years. Between Tren-
ton and Railway nine wheat fields
have been burned by sparks from
railroad locomotives. The fire war
den service is all that is preventing
disastrous fires in the pine lands of
the lower counties.
Utica, N. Y, July 12.-Reports from
half a dozen counties In central New
York are to the effect that the pro-
longed drought has practically ruined
over half of the hay, wheat oat, corn
and potato crops. No rain has fallen
in most of the towns in the counties
of Oneida, Herkimer, Madison, Jeffer-
son and Otsego for almost three weeks.
Oats are heading out about a foot
high, and in many places rust has set
in. The hay crop, which Is now being

Bucl1wheat is far behind. Many
fields have failed to sprout and will

Streams are drying up. and many
