several lines of undeveloped or partially
developed resources which need to be de-
veloped. The proper function of the sur

the extent to which and the cost at
which they may be developed, the facili-
ties for development and related data,
and then to properly bring these facts to
public notice-in bulletins for distribu-
ton and in exhibits properly placed"

the country a good currency law,
or both, we would not have had

would not have had all this
wasteful prosecution of corpora
tons, nor all of this hostile leg

the country would to-day be go
ing along "swimmingly". He
also stated, "this question O f
regulation will be worked out all
right for every one concerned,
What the newspapers ought to
do now is to stop talking about
the regulation of railroads and
insist upon it that the people be-
gin regulating the Government.
If the wasteful extravaganza Of
governmental methods should be
applied to any other business it
would speedily bankrupt It,"
He was asked if he thought the
present administration would
make a change. in the direction
he indicated and his answer was,
Il do not, but this administra-
ton and all administrations to

There can hardly be a doubt
that the President is in earnest
In his efforts to have the tariff
reduced and there can not be
one concerning the attitude of
his party if the members of Con-
gross reflect Republican senti-
ment. Presumably the Payne
bill is a reduction, but really it
is equivalent, in its protective
features, to che DINGHY law which
it displaces when passed. To
make long story short and to
speak plainly it is protection in
the rankest terms disguised IN
the garb of reduction. Til e
Payne bill is to full of pains to
bring relief to the great bulk of
people who have demanded and
who have been expecting the
Republican party to carry out,
In good faith, its platform pledge
in regard to the tariff. The
principle that should guide in
such legislation is as old as
human knowledge Of justice. No
measure based on a protective
theory can equally distribute
burden and blessing. Tariff for
revenue only, and that placed on
the luxuries, should be the means
to liberate the great mass from
unjust contributions to the cof-
fers of wealth: It is the key
that will, eventually, throw the
grip of corporate greed and over
turn the plans of the favored
few who have been piling up
millions Of dollars annually, un-
justly though class legislation,
but it is not in evidence in the
Payne bill, not even the handle
of the key can be seen.
