Taft's Tariff Speech.

President Taft's candid and out
spoken discussion of the tariff will
carry conviction and win approval
through the country. No President
or party leader has before so frankly
addressed all his fellow-citizens. and
a president always speaks to all-on q
vital issue.
President Taft admits the right oi
a man to separate from his party on
a tariff issue. He accepts such an
act as a matter of conscience.
But he condemns as a matter of
judgment readiness to keep high
duties in operation when lower were
offered. The choice was not be-
tween duties in the new tariff and
higher duties in the old tariff. AS
President Taft frankly says, the
alliance between far Western States
growing wool and Eastern States
using it made impossible re
vision of the wool schedule, which
called both for reduction and classifi-
cation. Democratic votes barred
other changes.
Seeing this it was part of justice
and expediency, principle and patri-
Otism, to vote for the best tariff that
could be secured and to lower duties
as far as they could be lowered and
and maintain the protection princi-
pie, preserving the higher level of
wages here.
This was done. If all was not
done much was accomplished. No
revision is near. None should be.
But before the next revision the tar
iff Commission will gain facts, an
alyzed rates and make intelligent
action possible. The country has
had its last tariff on hasty investi-
cation. President Taft proposes to
use all the powers of the new Tariff
Commission to make luminous fu-
ture action by Congress when an
other revision is needed.

Big Day at the State Capital.


Until within the recent past the
Sunday school was looked upon as a
place for the instruction of children
but the advent of the organized Ad-
ult Bible Glass has changed this old
fashioned notion and men and wo-
men are now found in the Sunday
school in large numbers.
The organization of Bible classes
for men and women has taken the
form of mighty movement i'm Penn
sylvania and the State is feeling the
influence of it from one end to the
other.
Thursday October 14th. representa-
tives of these classes will assemble
in Harrisburg in connection with the
annual convention of the Pennsyl-
vania State Sabbath School Associ-
alton, which meets October 1915
and hold big demonstration in the
interest of the Organized Adult Class
Movement. Governor Stewart will
be present and address the evening
meeting to be held in the Chestnut
Street Auditorium. The building
has seating capacity of 1000 and
will be reserved strictly for members
of mems classes. The representa-
tive of WOmen's classes will meet in
one of the large churches. The after
noon of the day will be devoted to a
conference session of the delegates.
Three auditoriums will be used to ac-
commodate the audiences.
The mass meeting Will be preced-
ed by street arade in which more
than 5000 men will participate.
The railroads will run special
trains for the occasion and many
counties are now at work forming
their delegations. Some of them
have already announced the number
they will take as follows: Lebanon,
800; Fayette, 1876; Westmorland, 100;
Lycoming, 100; Blair, 100, Cambria,
100. Every county will be represent
ed. The delegations will go with
bands and banners. II will be big
day at the State Cvpitol.
Among the speakers advertised
are Hon. John WaAamaker, Phila-
delphia; Rev. David James Burrell,
d. ID. New York; Bishop Darlington,
Harrisburg: w. G. Peaice, Chicago;
DR.. Joseph Clark, Ohio, and Others.
The State Association will offer
four flag awards for classes showing
the largest percentage of member
snip present and the largest ag-
gregate mileage travelled by the dele
gates. The parade will be reviewed
by Governor Stewart, the State
Board of Directors and invited
guests.
The local committee is planning
to have elaborate electric illumi-
nations for the occasion.
Mr.. o. p. Beckley. of Harrisburg,
with an efficient committee is CO.
operating with the State Association
in working out the details. The
out of the present plans
will surpass anything of the kind
ever attempted.

Taft on Railroads..


Railroad managers will read with
mingled feelings the amendments
to the interstate commerce law pro-
posed yesterday by President Taft.
The only recommendation with
which every railroad man will agree
Congress has never been willing to
accept. For four years President
Roosevelt urged repeatedly that rail.
roads should be permitted to make
agreements on rates, etc, subject to
approval and regulation of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. Con-
gress fatty refused. No better pros
pect exists that the House and
Senate will accept this proposal next
Winter than in the past
Shippers as whole are against 1t.
so are the plain people. The opinion
of experts and railroad men hava no
effect. What President Roosevelt
could not secure President Taft NAV
accomplish, but the chances are
against him.
Railroad managers will oppose
any increased powers for the Inter
state Commerce Commission, such as
President Taft urges, but they
should be enacted The commits
sion should have power to supervise
railroad rules or regulations, rate
classification and the issue of new
shares and bonds. Shippers suffer
today because the commission can
not reach either rate tariff classifi-
cations or railroad rules. Yet the
field of freight classification is so
great and railroad regulations enter
so intimately into railroad operation
that railroad management will have
small discretion left between labor
organizations on one side and the
commission on the other, when this
additional power is granted by Con-
gress, as it probably will be.
Control by the commission over
the ownership by railroads of the
shares of competing lines, and super
vision over the issue of new shares
and bonds are needed. Mr.. Harri-
mans railroad Empire and fortune
could never have been created if this
power had been vested in the COM
mission and the Improvements he
made in the Union Pacific Railroad
system would not have been prevent
ed by this control. States have pass
ed laws controlling consolidation and
new capitalization. Congress should.
A new Court to pass on railroad
issues is almost necessity. The com
mission is swamped with cases.
The Federal Courts, to which ap-
peals now go, have for twenty years
been unfriendly to commission pos
sessing powers that trench on Judi
cial territory. Congress always favors
new offices, new courts and new
Three years experience have
shown the need of the changes in the
Hepburn act which Presiden Taft
but their passage will de-
pend on the extent to which public
opinion demands them.
