no matter what the theory OF Com
gross had been as to the tariff meas
uro.
it Is supposed, too. that President
Taft takes the same Wow as Secre-
tary NlacVeagh. that in cases OF doubt
it IS better 60 settle ia favor Of lower
duties. and thus givo the public the
benefit of tho doubt. Tho Presidents
inciinations toward lower duties were
made manifest when tho tariff measure
was In conference.
Little has been heard OF tho ques-
tion Of Interpretation Of tho tariff
measure. 1t was well known, back
in tho days Of the Dmgley law, especi-
ally I'm the administration Of Secretary
Shaw, who was a strong high tariff
man, that the draft of Interpretation
was toward higher duties in cases
whore it was not O certainty what the
law meant,
Illustrating the present tendency to
impose the lower duty rather than the
higher one. tho other day the question
OF what duty 60 impose on certain
decorated china dolls came before the
customs officers at Now York. II
classified as dolls heads, they were
dutiablo at 85 per cent, but IL classl-
fed as decorated china they were
dutiablo at 60 per cent.
Tho Treasury decided the 85 per
cont. duty should be assessed. In this
instance, IL would have been easy by
tho mere shifting of classification to
impose 20 per cent more duty
An outcry rs being raised just now
by the manufacturers of cheap
watches under the classification Of
icwclry. This results in lower duties
than 81 the imports were classified
undcr the head of watches.
1t IS probable that a good deal Will
bo heard of this question Of interpre-
tation OF the customs law later on,
81 the high tarln forces Of the country
conclude that importations arc being
increased as tho result of the course
of tho Treasury Department.

since the tariff law went into effect,
the customs officials are Interpreting
classification questions IN favor OF
lower tariffs rather than the higher

rhls IS a distinct departure from
the policy thot long rivaled In the
Treasury Department. IT Was we'll
o known for years that the tendency of
the Treasury was to resolve doubts in
the administration of the tariff law
in favor Of higher duties.
Row tho tendency is in tho other
direction. Persons at all familiar
with tariff affairs know that il means
great deal whether tho doubts that
arise i'm administration are resolved IN
favor OF the lower duties or The higher
ones.
Secretary MacNoagh is credited with
taking tho view that the present law

questions. IL is reasonable TO suppose
that Congress meant the lower duty
rather than the higher one to apply.
