PLEASED WITH PRESIDENT
The coloncls speech was as follows:
II was particularly pleased with
what the president said in his letter
on the subject Of the tariff commits
sion" said Col Roosevelt. "a num-
Der OF senators and congressman have
for some years advocated this AS the
proper method OF dealing with tho
tariff, and | am glad that the country
seems now TO have definitely awak-
ened TO the idea that a tariff commits
sion offers the only solution Of the
problem which is both rational and en-
sures the absence OF iobbery. The
president from the beginning advocated
this commission.
II call your attention TO the fact
that the amendment propos ing to pro-
vide for such Il commission in the orig
inal bill when the tariff bill WAS I'M
der consideration In the senate was
introduced by your own senator, here
present-Scuator Dolliver. II was a
characteristic act OF service 60 the
people on the senator's part, and
wish TO take this opportunity of say
ing that throughout my term az presi-
dent on every important question II
was my privilege 10 stand shoulder to
shoulder with Senator Dolliver.
Let me add, my friends, that what
I have aaid Of Senator Doltiver. I can
also say of your congressman. MIR.

Congressman Martin, although he Is
not from Iowa, but from South Dakota.
He also was man who absolutely
stood by me on every point throughout
my term and with whom | was able to
work In hearty sympathy for every
progressive policy. All three Of these
men found after trying them out stood
without hitching-perhaps that smile
suits South Dakota better than Iowa,

1T was only by a bitter fight that
the friends of the commission idea in
the senate and in the house got through
the provision. IL Is not set I'm salts
factory shape The commission itself
should be enlarged. and its powers
greatly enlarged and defined, and any
necessary changes made that viii make
its work more effective from the stand
point both OF the executive and Con-
eress. But the establishment OF it
makes an excellent beginning In the
right direction. Moreover, the value
OF the commission as provided has been
real by the action of the administra-
ton in constituting in broad fashion the
law that provided for II.
ADMINISTRATIONS GOOD WORK.
There is another feature OF the tariff
law which is admirable and points our
course in the right direction, the max
imum and minimum provision. And
here again 1 win 10 point OUT tnat
the value OF the provision has de-
pended largely upon the excellent work
done by the administration In the nego-
tlations with foreign powers for It's APP

with the Dominion OF Canada. which
were the most difficult OF all, and yet
