U. S.. TO PURSUE
new POLICY IN
ORIENT
(By United Press Leased Wirc.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, July 22.-That
aggressiveness will mark the pol
icy of the United States in the
Orient is apparent today from
statements attributed to Charles
r. Crane of Chicago, who has
been appointed recently minister
to China by President Taft. In
an interview with local banker
Crane is reported to have said:
This nation does not propose
to allow any other power to be-
come commercial dictator in the
Far East. This nation will insist
on the strict enforcement of the
open door policy and I am certain
that President Taft desires that
America shall become a powerful
factor in the Orient"
The interviewer then went on to
say:
America has at last awakened
to the vast possibilities for invest
ment in the Orient and the selec-
ton of Mr.. Crane is the best that
could be made for the opening of
the campaign we intend to make.
Mr.. Crane shows great interest in
his new work and is alive to the
situation. He realizes that the
coming year will mark an epoch
in China and in. the relations of
America with that country"

have counted. But those sheets
have been torn from the calendar.
That water has gone under the
bridge. In the vulgar parlance OF
the street, there Is nothing doing
at the present time"
In the cold, gray light of rea-
son and the hard, terse language
OF figures, the tariff has already
been revised upward 5 65-100 per
cent.
All that Taft and the confer
ence committee may do between
now and Christmas cannot posi-
bly, result in revision downward.
The governments bureau of
statistics has told the story. The
bill, submitted to the bureau by
La Toilette at the same time 1t
went to the conference commit
tee. has been analysed and tabu-
lated as those experts in figures
and percentages only know how
to analyze and tabulate. And this
Is what they found:
1.-THE bill as passed by the SEN
ate upon the basis of the importa--
lions of 1907 leaves unchanged
the duties upon imports of the
value of 40,106,037, or 64.65i
per cent; duties are increased
upon imports Of the value of
$149,716,619, or 21.51 per cent;
while the decreases affect i'm
ports of the value of $96,369,619,
or 1884 per cent. The average
increase of the entire bill Is 5.65
per cent.
Looking at it from another an
gle, the exports figure that ''the
average increase of duty amounts
TO 81 per cent, while the average
decrease amounts to % per cent. -
1t will be noted that the Aldrich
tariff bill leaves the rates as they
are fixed by the present law on
about 65 per cent of the imports
which come to our shores. To
this per cent may be added an
other 10, as representing duties

TAFT TOO LATE

fbetween the, senate and the house
Should all the duties
involved in the remaining 25 per
cent be reduced to the figures of
| the house schedules, 1t Is an easy
mathematical calculation to see
that the total would not be a re-
duction of the duties from the
present Dingley law.
But 1t must be borne in mind
that there are two additional
provisions of the law which will
result In higher duties, no matter
what the rates APPEAR TO BE
in these Payne-Aldrich schedules.
These are the customs court and
the adoption of specific in place
of ad valoreum duties. The pur-
pose of these changes were free
ly admitted by Aldrich to be the
stiffening of the tariff rates. High
er prices will be the consequence.
Operating in similar way will
be the maximum and minimum
features of the tariff law.
And now that 1t is all over, it
may be proper again to consider
whether or not there has been a
conscientious and full perform
ance of what was promised when
President Taft, then candidate for
the presidency, said, in speaking
to an audience at Des Moines,
Sept. rs, 1905:
THE party is pledged to A GEN
UINE revision, and as the tenn
porary head of that party, and as
president of the United States,
If 1t be successful in November, |
expect to use ALL THE INFLU-.
ENCE THAT l HAVE to secure a
GENUINE and HONEST revision
of the tariff"
And when at Milwaukee he
said:
ION the whole, the TARIFF
OUGHT TO BE LOWERED; it is
my judgment that a revision of
the tariff in accordance with the
pledge of the republican party
will be ON THE WHOLE A SUB
STANTIAL REVISION DOWN

About once so often the city
council has to tackle the question
of where to allow express wagons
to stand. They change them near
ly every year, and no sooner are
they changed than the property
owners In front of whom they are
stationed begin to howl. When
the complaints get too strong, the
council gets busy.
1t was the time for another
change last might. A new ordi-
nance was up which proposed to
put the wagons in the middle of
the street ON Tenth and Twelfth
and A streets. But the ordinance
was killed and the expressmen
will stay where they are for the
present.
