would scarcely be noticed in tin, indi-

MUST PASS A GOOD BILL
HILL WARNS REPUBLICANS TO
KEEP TARIFF PLEDGES.
Failure, He Declares, Will Result in
More Violent Revision Two
Years Hence.

James J., HILL, chairman of the board
of directors of the Great Northern rail-
way. talked to several friends at the Cap
itol today regarding the tariff legislation.
''The people throughout the country feel
that something has been promised to
them in the way of tariff revision" said
Mr.. Hill, land they want to get 1t. Both
parties placed pledges in their national
platforms to revise the tariff. The task
has been intrusted to one party, but if
il fails. in my opinion, the duty of tariff
revision will then be given to those who
are unfriendly to the protective policy.
Party lines have never been so nearly
obliterated as at present. With this con-
dition a party cannot afford to disregard
the demands upon 1t. Those intrusted
with the revision of the tariff now had
better consider first the duty that they
owe to all the people.
II have no special interest in this tariff
bill, but l have an interest in the PROS
perity Of the country. We are tired Of
conditions that have existed for the last
two years. We want to get the business
of the country on a sound basis. To do
that we need to get the tariff question
out of the way. But If it is not reasona-
bly, revised on the lines laid down in the
platforms, the electorate will send to
Congress in two years representatives
who will make more violent revision"
With Mr.. Hill were ]. H. Carroll. gen.
eral counselor for the Burlington, and
Howard Elliott, president of the North
ern Pacific. They are in Washington, ac-
companied by representatives Of CONNER
cial organizations of Seattle. Tacoma and
Spokane, Wash, and Portland Ore, to
arrange for a tour of the country of
thirty Japanese business men. The par
ty expects to talk with President Taft
Secretary Nagel of the Department of
Commerce and Labor and others in re-
gard to the visit Of the foreigners.
