GERMANY UNDER THE
MINIMUM PROVISION
Il Is Given Benefit of Favor.
able Tariff Rates by Presi-
dent Taft.

Washington, Feb. 9.--The president
today issued a proclamation under the
provisions of which the tariff act Of
August s, 1903. in which he declares
that from and after March 81, 1910, all
imported into the United
States or any of it's possessions except
the Philippine ISLANDS and the islands
of Guam n Tutulla from Germany
are entitled to be admitted at the min
imum rates of duty prescribed by Sec
ton /, of the present tariff act.
The proclamation does not include
the German colonial possessions for the
reason that the department of state
has not yet had sufficient tirN, in
which to investigate the question as to
whether such colonies unduly discrim-
mate against importations of the Unit
ed States.
Inasmuch as the maximum rates of
the United States do not go into eff
feet until March 81, next, ample time
will be afforded to determine that
Question.

Another evidence that the DEM
.ioeratic party through its leaders and
81 West Virginia is under the
5solute cdntrol OF the special In
terests Is the stand taken by the
1heeling Register against the crea-
tfon of railroad commission IN
west Virginia, a commission de-
anded by nearly every shipper and
travelling man who knows the adj
1ntages OF such commission.
The Register does not have the
courage to show its hand exactly IN
the following but 1t is quite plain
to see that its intent is TO take the
side of the special interests rather
an that OF the people.
Guch proposed legislation AFFECT
ing corporations may be praise
worthy but much OF It is also uE-
necessary and unjust Nothing is to
ne gained by treating public service
CORPORATIONS unfairly, or by enacting
laws which merely harrass and en-
larrass them, without benedting the
people. There has already been
complaint OF too much law making
this character, which has made
capital tImid, retarded the develop
nqent Of the state, and resulted in
glo real good. Too many whimsical
laws are proposed, and too many
freak acts are written into the stat
ptes. The uncertainty as to what
the legislature will do has a ten
dsncy to disturb business conditions.
Legislators should resolve every
Doubt they entertain as to the value
OF a proposed law, into argument
against the enactment of the law.
The principal argument for pub
1ic service commission appears to
rest upon the necessity for regu-
lating railway traffic in this state.
3egislators should consider the fact
that the national government has
that matter wei in hand. They
should remember that IL it is pro-
posed to place any additional bur
5dens upon the corporations the peo-
pie viii suffer, as the corporations
win Inevitably increase their
charges. They should consider also
the fact that it will be impossible to
secure the service OF such men as
the State Board of Trade suggests
as members OF the commission, with
out paying them salaries of from
$4,000 to $4,000 year, which
with their travelling and other ex-
penses would materially add to the
COR OF state government. Do We
wat more state offices? Are they
necessary; Are we not getting along
very wei with our public service
corporations under existing laws?
VIII the interests of taxpayers be in
any way benefited by the creation of
an expensive public service commits
