Roosevelt VS.. Taft.

Roosevelt will rot indorse' Taft or
the Payne-Aldrich law, in the opinion
of the writer. There never has been
any doubt on this point in my mind,
and have expressed the view repeat
edly in dispatches since March 4,
1909. But Roosevelt will indorse
Lodge, tool of Aldrich and special
senate representative of the tariff
trusts, railroads and other New Eng
land corporate interests. Nor do
expect to hear of Roosevelt campaign
ing for such genuine progressives as
LaFollette. Roosevelt is playing for
the presidency, and is jealous of La
Follette's popularity. At this stage
Taft appears to stand a better chance
of hauling down the next Republican
presidential nomination than does T.
R. This is because Taft stands right
with the great corporate interests of
the United States, and they control
absolutely the Republican machine.
Roosevelt was turned down in New
York because the ma chine politicians
know that Roosevelt is to be an in
sursent. They feared that if they
permitted him to be even a temper.

age of the opportunity to weaken
machine rule. The fight may be ex
pected to be intensely interesting

Washington, August 22,-The Amer.
lean people will recall that Senator
Henry Cabot Lodges price-investigat-
ing committee found that no part of
the $50 increase in the cost of liv-
ing in this country in the last 10
years was due to the tariff. Politi-
cal economists all over the land were
sorely puzzled at the report.
The phenomenon can now be eX-
planned. The report of the minority of
the committee, recently published,
shows that the Republicans made no
serious attempt to ascertain whether
the tariff was responsible or not.
Listen to this extract from the min
ority report:

on the territory of the highly protect
ed commodities.
Lodge, who helped frame the
Payne-Aldrich bill and takes the po-
sition that the ultimate consumer is
myth, saw to it that the invesitga-
tions were confined almost exclusive
| ly to foodstuffs and cotton, and to
the production, distribution and cost
to the consumer of wheat, corn, beef
mutton and hog products, of which
commodities the United States pro
duces a large per cent of the world s
production, and which we export in
enormous quantities. AS to these ar
ticles it may be supposed that. wher
freed from the influence of trusts
and monopolies, the tariff should no
cut a large figure except that 1t in
creases the cost Of their production
Il Do you see the point, Mr.. Consum
err? Lodge had been assigned by Sen
ator Aldrich to make a report, obvi
ously for campaign purposes which
would absolve the tariff from al
blame in connection with the awfu
increase in the cost of living unde

Lodge evidently concluded that tn
safest way to accomplish this enc
would be to avoid asking any Ques

vances in the prices of highly pro
tected articles, such as the product

the harvester trust and the lumbe
trust, all of which contribute heavii.

The information may be accepted
publican campaign managers played
the same trick on the public in the
last presidential election. The rumor
was quietly started that Candidate
Taft did not approve of Speaker Can

Taft wound not stand for Cannon as
speaker. This false rumor unmistak-
ably helped Taft in the insurgent dis
tricts.
