Vital Washington News
By Tavenner

President Taft is advising Re
publican candidates for Congress
to promise the people further
tariff revision, schedule by SEIZED
ule, the basis of the revision to
be equalization of the labor cost
of production at home and
abroad plus a reasonable profit
for American manufacturers.
The platform on which Mr..
Taft was elected, it is recalled,
also promised to equalize "the
difference in the cost of pro
duction at home and abroad, =
plus the reasonable profit.
Before considering new prom
ises, many voters will ask Was
the first promise keptG Let
us see:
Taking woolens to begin with,
President Taft himself admits
failure.
What about cottOns? Was
the cotton schedule revised on
the basis of equalization of ''the
difference in the cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad?"
PLATFORM PROMISE IGNOR-
ED.
The labor cost in the pro-
duction of cotton manufactures in
the United States is % per
cent. From report of Carroll
D. Wright, u. S. Commissioner
Of Labor, Vol. 10.)
Granting that foreign goods
have no labor cost whatever, 26
per cent would, therefore, have
been the maximum average rate
required to equalize the labor
cost of production at home and
abroad. If the labor cost abroad
is one-half the labor cost at home,
the rate of tariff required to
prevent the foreign manufacturer
from having the advantage of
cheaper labor would be 26 per
cent, the American cost, less -
per cent, the European cost, or
l3 per cent. Instead of an
equalizing duty Of any sort, the
Aldrich crowd protected cotton
manufactures with a duty of
from 80 per cent on handker-
chiefs to "A per cent on cotton
cloths.

DIvERTING ATTENTION

The Taft-R Sherman
sideshow in New York has taken
on a resemblance to a three-shell
game. just at the moment the
public thinks it understands the
situation. and begins to feel
sure that Roosevelt will mdorse
Taft or that he will refuse to in
dOrse him, the men managing the
show bring forth a new inter-
view which as much as says to
the public: "You see you were
wrong again the pea WASH t
under that shell at all. Guess
again I"
The question has been raised
in some quarters as to whether
the Republican campaign man
ayers are not endeavoring to di-
vert attention from the more i'm
pOrtant issues of the campaign.
The real issue, it is being point
ed out, is not whether Roosevelt
is or not with Taft. Far more
important are the answers to the
following:
l.. Why did President Taft co
operate With Aldrich, SmOot
Lodge, Guggenheim and other
senator's representing the special
interests, and refuse the counsel
of men like LaFollette and
Clappi
2. Why did Mr.. Taft continue

QUERIES FOR PROTECTION.

In 1900 the American consumer
of sugar paid more than , cents
a pound in excess of the price
paid by the London consumer. If
the tariff was not to blame for
the different in price, will some
Republican speaker or newspaper
explain what was the cause
Query No. 2, If the American
consumer does not pay the tariff
on sugar when he buys it at the
grocery, who does pay it and
where is it paid? Query No. 8.
If the tariff on sugar is paid
by the consumer, is it not reason
able to presume that the amount
of the tariff on blankets, woolens,
hardware, farm machinery and
Other protected articles, IS also
paid by the consumer?
INSUFFICIENT REVENUE.
The Payne-Aldrich law is fail
ing to produce sufficient reven-
lie to meet the expenses of the
government. During the first
twenty-three days of August the
expenditures exceeded the re-
ceipts by $5,277,17O.OS. This
is according to the statement is
sued by the United States treas
ucer at the close of busin IS on
the evening Of Aug. %. In other
w+rds, the declaration of tLr
Republican leaders that the new
tariff law is producing sufficient
revenue to run the government is
entirely unfounded.

COST OF TREATING
TUBERCULOSIS
National Association For Prevention
And Treatment of tuberculosis
Issues Bulletin.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., Aug. AIN a
preliminary bulletin on the cost of
maintaining tuberculosis sanitarium,
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis an
nounces that the average cost per
patient per day in thirty semi-chari-
table sanitoria scattered in all parts
of the United States is $1.669. These
institutions represent an annual ex-
pend,ture of over $1.s0O0OO and over
$4,000 days of treatment given each
year. The bulletin, which is part of
an extensive study the National AS
sociation is making for its bureau Of
information, points out how the coun-
try could save annually at least $780,
100000, if the INDECENT consumptives
were properly segregated.
1t was found that the food cost in
most institutions represented one
third Of the annual expenditures. The
average daily food cost per patient
was $o.EA4 Il The expenditures ror

sanatoria and hospitals, the National
Association estimates that the annual
cost to the country for the treatment
of these persons would be $50,000,000
at the rate of $1.669 per day per pa
tient. At the lowest possible esti-
mate, the country loses $200,000,O
year from the incapacity of these
INDECENT victims of tuberculosis. This
would mean a net saving of $150,0O0
year to the United States if all cases
of consumption who are too poor to
afford proper treatment in expensive
sanatoria were cared for at the ex-
pense of the municipality, county or
state. And this annual gain does not
include the enormous saving that
would accrue fIom the lessened in
lection due to the segregation of the
dangerous consumptives in institu-
tions.

gers. Ten passengers bound for Ev-
erett were aboard the Albion, but as
far as is known none of them were
injured.
The hull of the wooden vessel was
pierced by the bow of the heavier
steamer and the two were wedged
tightly together. The passengers on
the Albion, which will likely be to-
tai loss, were transferred to the Chip
pewa.
Meager reports indicate that the
damage to the Chippewa is not seri-
Gus. The Chippewa is steel steamer
of 996 tons. She was built at Toledo,
Ohio, in 1900, and is owned by the
Puget Sound Navigation Company
The Albion is one of the Oldest
steamers engaged in local trade on the
sound. She is wooden vessel OF
about $50 tons and is owned by the
Port Angels Towboat Company.

salaries and wages represented nearly
another third, being $0.4S1 per day
per patient out of total of $1.669.
The fuel, oil and light cost was $0.206
per capita per diem or about one
eighth of the total cost.
The daily cost in the several insti-
tutions ranged all the way from $O.s46
per patient to $2.555. In the far
West and Southwest, as in Colorado
and New Mexico and California the
cost was higher than in the East in
New York and New England, being
$2,025 per patient as against $1.74S.
The total expenditure of the thirty
institutions were s1,363,93S.2S, while
the total receipts from all sources
were s1,54S,525.74. More than 70 per
cent of the receipts were received
from public funds and private bene-
factions, only 2S.S per cent being from
patients. Stated in another way, only
35 per cent of the total expen 1itures
were received from patients the re-
mainder being made up from other
sources.

United States at least 100000 INDECENT

SUNNI Err NIGHT.

a solemn falling of the checkered
shade,
A steady cleaning of the silent stars,
A sudden lulling of the noice of trade
A rest-balm for the warrier's battle
scars,
An emptying of the busy, crowded
street,
A spectural moonbeam on the doing
flowers,
A hurried march of homeward-tend-
ing feet,
A painting for sweet and quiet hour,
coming footstep in the matted hall,
A beating heart anticipating bliss,
A cherub's voice in answer to a call.
A smile-that halo of rising kiss,
A kiss at last! clasping-an en-
brace,
dropping of the iron yoke of care,
A burst of laughter, supper serious
face,
A smoking, reading and an evening
prayer,
A small voice piercing all the starry
deep,
A whispering through the corridors of
light,
An answer to "lay me down to sleep"
guardian angel stationed for the
night!
