Revising the Tariff

President Taft has devoted much OF
the time since congress adjourned tc
ascertaining the exact will of the peo.
pie as to tariff revision. lie finds a
general demand for further revision
but in such a way as not TO disturb
business conditions or precipitate a
general tariff controversy.
The president determined long be
fore congress adjourned and has since
reiterated his determination, to secure
a satisfactory adjustment of the tariff.
If such a thing be possible. All of
this was contemplated in his appoint
ment OF the tariff board, which was to
spend months securing reliable evil
dence as to the difference between the
cost of production at home and the
cost OF production abroad" and report
to the president. There never was
any basis for the criticisms of the ad-
ministration for going no further with
tariff revision than it did at the last
session.
This tariff board will report. it is
understood. September 81, and man
out a tariff-revising plan to put I'D to
the president. This is a nonpartisan.
nonpolitical board and II marks the
first step in the history of this country
toward taking tariff-making out of the
hands of politicians, a demand that
has been persisted in for years. but
never undertaken before President
Taft urged ii upon congress. 1t is one
OF the best evidences of the presidents
sincere determination to reach a salts
factory solution of this most vexing of
all economic questions with which the
government has to deal.
Following out the presidents sug-
gestion. the method Of revising the
tariff so as to guard against a general
lpheaval that would be sure to end in
nothing tangible. will be by single
schedules and as showing his in
'istence upon this plan and its DUR
poses, he urged in his open letter, NJ
August 20, this:

nentary rule. az hope it will, that a bin

But If any actual revision is accom-
'lished ii will be possible only
through the concerted action of a ma
ority in congress, and If that majority ,

orehand that there will be no re-
ision, satisfactory or otherwise. So :
epublicans who are sincere in their :
emands will sink fractional differences ,

The Defeat of Jim GRAY.

James Gray's nomination by the
Minnesota democrats as their candi-
date for governor recalls the circum-
stances attending his defeat for re-
election as mayor of Minneapolis some
ten years ago, which furnish an inter-
esting chapter of political history in
that state.
Gray had gone from an editorial
desk on the Minneapolis Times to the
mayors chair, and had made a popular
official when the time came for another
nomination. In the meantime the
legislature had given Hennepin county
a primary law, one of those reversible.
flexible affairs like the democrats have
foisted on the people of Nebraska. One
party could go in and thwart the will
of another and that is what the demo-
Gratis of Minneapolis did to the repub-
licans. They forced the nomination
of the redoubtable Doc" Ames, whose
reputation at that time was very un-
savory and became more so later on.
which is another subject of political
history in the grand old North Star
state.
1t was a jubilant democracy. but a
downcast republican party, the day
after the primaries. The Gray people
saw walk-over, with Ames as the
popular newspaper mans opponent. !
But it was terrible mistake. A Mr.. |
Dean, a very able and honorable bust
ness man, had also been nominated on
an Independent reform ticket Mani |
testify his nomination hurt Gray, for
he would cut into Gray's better ele-
ment' vote, while not disturbing the
Ames following. But, with all that.
Gray and his friends could not be
alarmed. Ames threatened to give
Minneapolis the most "wide-open" adj
in its history and the
Gray people believed this would over !
~helm him at the polls.
Ames was elected and did Just what
lie had threatened. His brother, chief I
If police, went to the penitentiary for q
year, and the mayor himself came
lear going, escaping only on a tech
licality on the appeal of his case. The
democrats had themselves to thank for i
heir own defeat, for they perverted
he will of the republicans by forcing ,
mes nomination. All of which was
