SMALLER CONCERNS
SCARED, SAYS GARY
Steel Magnate Explains Decision
to Reduce Prices.

New York, Feb. 20.-An open
market in the iron and steel trade,
that manufacturers hope will lead to
stimulation of the industry, was Gre
ated when Former Judge Ebert H.
Gary, chairman of the directorate of
the United States Steel corporation,
made an official announcement that
"the leading manufacturers of iron
and steel have determined to protect
their customers and for the present
sell at such modified prices as may
be necessary with respect of different
commodities, in order to retain their
fair share of the business" n
The prices which may be deter.
mined upon will be given by the man
ufacturers to their customers direct.
Judge Gary, in the official state
nent, says that the smaller steel
manufacturing concerns, for kone
cause or another, particularly the tar
iff agitation, have become more or
less excited and demoralized, and
have been selling their products be-
low those prices generally maintain
ed, and this led to unreasonable price
cutting by certain manufacturers
who, though opposed to change, felt
the necessity of protecting their Gus
toners.

mess conditions connected with it.
We have built up in this country,
not system Of taxation, but sys-
TEN of carrying on business which is
a part of the Government itself. Any
public man at all fit for his position
would be able to draft law that
would raise all the money we needed
to carry on the Government. But that
is not enough. We must also have a
law which shall afford SO much pro-
lection to this industry and so much
to the other, law which shall main
tain the "home' market" and at the
same time encourage foreign trade,
etc. These questions have nothing to
do with the problem of taxation.
But we have mixed the two things
up to such a degree that we are
forced to admit that Congress is not
competent to deal with the question.
We have created system which we
can not control, can not even change
by the ordinary processes of legisla-
ton. The result is that most of our
people look on a tax law as of nee
essity very complicated thing. II
is complicated only because we have
put in it things that do not belong in
it. SO we have to appeal to experts
to tell us, not how to levy taxes, but
how to care for industries that think
they are dependent on taxes. We
hope that much good may come of
the tariff commission congress. Any
movement should be encouraged that
tends to give relief from the present
IintOlerable conditions.

A TARIFF COMMISSION.

The tariff commission convention
adopted resolutions Tuesday in which
it demands" of Congress the ap-
of a permanent tariff COM
mission which shall collect and study
facts connected with the tariff, work
for the preservation of the home
market and the development of for
eign trade, arrange for reciprocity
agreements based On maximum and
minimum schedules, and cooperate
IN adjusting tariff schedules equit-
ably. and In fixing rates~Of duty with
In the maximum and minimum rates
all, of course, to be done by Con-
gress In the light of the facts brought
TO its notice by the commission. That
much good can be accomplished In
this way we do not doubt. Nor do
we think that the arguments ad-
yanced in support of this program
are without weight. On the contrary,
they are sound reasons.
What Congress will think of the
scheme is another question. Our
friends realize that it will require a
good deal of pressure to bring about
Its adoption. So they propose to or
ganize for the campaign. A com
mittee, consisting of one hundred men
of which not less than two shall be
appointed from each State in the
Union, is to be appointed for the pur-
pose of carrying on the work. This
committee is to be organized in the
most effective way. 1t will of course,
do what it can to impress its views
ON Congress. In the meantime Con
gress is urged to enact at the special
session shortly to meet "a revised
tariff as completely and accurately
adjusted to present conditions and
therefore as stable as is possible at
this time"
The most encouraging thing about
fhe tariff commission congress is its
nndoubted earnestness. We believe
that it represents public opinion, that
at speaks for a great majority of the
people. There is a demand for a
greatly lower tariff. 1t may be that
Congress will recognize this, and
that it will listen with some respect
20 the arguments of the committee
of one hundred. One thing is certain
and the point was made by one of
the speakers-that unless we soon
get partial relief, the people will
sooner or later demand entire relief
That is, protection must be abated
somewhat or it will disappear alto
gether. That is a result which we
should view with much equanimity.
But the argument is one that ought to
TO appeal even to those of the stand
patters who are able to see any dis
fance into the future. One other sug-
gestion must be made. The need for
q commission does not grow out of
amy complexity of the tariff as such,
but gather out of the complex bus
