Senator Warren. of Wyoming, who has
Just returned 20 the city from trip
to his State. took occasion 10 make some
inquiries as TO the feeling among Re-
publicans in the West concerning the
administration and the tariff bill.
"out in my section" he said 10 Her
aid reporter yesterday, the people are
thoroughly satisfied with President Taft.
They regard him as a safe and conscien-
tious President, who has the interests of
the people uppermost in his mind, and
he is constantly adding TO the number
OF his friends 1 know that some factions
are trying to minimize his popularity
and the Democrats are doing everything
in their power to exaggerate the opposi-
ton to him
Enjoying Great Prosperity.
'As matter of fact, found the people
in Wyoming and the West are enjoying
great prosperity and that they are salts
fed with what the President is doing
for the country
How about the tariff bill?''
"The new tariff bill is generally salts
factory. We must remember that no
tariff bin was ever enacted which pleased
everybody II individual opinions were
TO be consulted. tariff bill would have
million different schedules. Consequently,
after the passage of new tariff Law we
are bound to encounter fault-hnding.
The fact IS, however, that this new
tariff bill is producing a greatly increased
revenue and Is cutting down the Federal
deficit In addition 10 this. the percent
age OF goods coming in under the free
list is larger to-day than ever before,
except under the wison-Gorman law.
The new law, therefore. is accomplishing
two things.
Reached without Detriment.
1T is giving the people smaller per-
centage Of taxable articles and is in
creasing the revenue. and these great re-
suits are being reached without detriment
to the capital which has been invested in
American manufactures. People In the
West are beginning to realize the new
tariff law was framed with wisdom, and
as this feeling becomes more and more
universal. as will he the case. we viii find
the people everywhere indorsing the new
law"
rs the corporation tax hurting or help
ing the administration?

the corporation tax law Is generally ap-
proved, If the corporate style Of doing
business possesses advantages, IL is worth
while TO pay the slight tax which Is i'm
posed II not, then co-partnerships can
be formed,
Legislators Showed Wisdom.
TT seems 10 me. too. that our legis-
lators have shown great wisdom In de-
vising plan whereby the revenue Of the
government can be promptly decreased
or increased. II occasion for such change
presents itself. by the passage OF a reso-
luton amending the corporation tax with
out having 10 enter upon a long and
weary work Of revising an entire tariff
bin"
Altogether. Senator Warren says. the
Republicans have no occasion for feeling
any dissatisfaction with the political
situation. when election time comes.
he says, President Taft will be more
firmly established than ever in the con-
hdence Of the people. and the admirable
results Of the new tariff law will be
generally admitted"
