PAYNE TARIFF ACT

The schedules of the rates of duty in
tho Payne tariff act have been subjected
10 a great deal OF criticism. some of II
just. more of 1t unfounded, and to much
misrepresentation, The act was adopted
in pursuance OF declaration by the
party which Is responsible for it that a
customs bill should be tariff for tho
protection of home Industries, the meas
ure OF The protection to he the difference
between the cost OF producing the i'm
ducinG ii al home, together with such
addition to that difference as might give
q reasonable profit 10 the home pro-
duccr
Tho basis for the criticism OF this tariff
is that in respect to u number OF the
schedules the declared measure was not
followed but a higher difference re-
talncd or Inserted by way OF undue dis
elimination in favor of certain industries
and manufactures.
Little. il any, Of the criticism Of the
tariff bill has boen directed against The
protective principle above stated but
the main body OF the criticism has been
based on the charge that the attempt
TO conform 10 the measure of protection
was not honestly and sincerely ad-
hered to.
TARIFF eoARo.-The time in which
the tariff was prepared undoubtedly was
so short as TO make II impossible for the
congress and its experts 10 acquire the
Information necessary strictly To conform
10 the declared measure. In order TO

PORTO RICO.

The year has been one of prosperity
and progress I'm Porto Rico. Certain po-
litcal changes are embodied in the bill
TO provide a civil government for Forto
Rico and for other purposes which
passed the house OF representatives, on
June Is. 1910. at the last session or con
Gress. and Is now awaiting the action OF
the senate.
The Importance OF those features Of
this bill relating To public health and
sanitation cannot be overeStjmated,
The removal from politics OF the Judi
ciary by providing Tor the appointment
of the municipal Judges is excellent. and
recommend that step further be taken
by providing therein for the appointment
or secretaries and marshals of these
courts.
I believe that the provision in the biz
for q partially elective senate, the num-
her OF elective members being progress
sively increased. Is unwiSe, and that the
composition OF the senate as provided in
the bin as introduced iE the house far
better meets conditions existing In
Porto Rico. This is an important mea-
sure and | recommend its carly consid
Grafton and passage.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS

In our public buildings We still suffer
from the method OF appropriation which
has bccn so much criticised in conneC-
ton with our rivers and harbors. Some
method should be devised for controlling
the supply of public buildings. so that
they Will harmonzc with the actual
needs OF the government. Not only are
buildings appropriated for by congress
which are not needed. and buildings left
unapPropriated for by congress which are
needed, but when " comes to the actual
construction there has been in the past
too little study OF the building plans and
sites with a view to the actual needs OF
the government.
Postofficc buildings which are i'm cf-
feet warehouses for the economical han
ding OF transportation OF thousands of
tons OF mail have been made monumental
structures, and often located far from the
convenient and economical spot. In the
actual construction OF the buildings a
closer scrutiny OF the methods employed
by the government architects or by ar
chltccts employed by the government
have resulted IN decided economies II
is hoped that more time will give oppor-
tunity for O more thorough rcorgauiZa-
tjon.

thorization for III" ultimate expenditure

F0RTIFICATIONS

1 have directed that the estimates for
appropriation for the Improvement Of
coast defenses In the United States
SHOULD be reduced to a minimum, while
those for the completion OF the needed
Qualifications at Corregtdor in the Philip
pine Islands and at Pearl harbor In the
Hawaiian islands should be expedited as
much as possible
The proposition to make Olongapo and
Subig bay the naval base for the Pacific
was given up and II IS to be treated
merely as a supply station. while the
fortifcatlons In the Philippines are TO
be largely confined to Corregtdor island
and the adjacent islands which command
entrance TO Manila bay and which are
being rendered impregnable from land
and attack.
The Pacific naval base has been trans
ferred to Pearl harbor In the Hawaiian
islands.
This necesstates the heavy fortifca-
ton Of the harbor and the establishment
OF an important military station near
Honolulu.
I urge that all the estimates made by
the war department for these purposes
be approved by congressional appropria-
tiOn.
