WAY TO C. 0. P. HARMONY
PROPER TARIFF LEGISLATION
SUGGESTED AS MEANS.
Board to Investigate and Point Out
Errors Will Allay Discord,
Says Cobb.

IF the present Congress. which passed
the Payne bill. will meet the issue fairly,
and enact legislation creating the neces-
sary machinery to investigate and point
out such inconsistencies and inequalities
as exist in the Payne bill, and if this is
done. as it readily can be, in a manner to
that they will be corrected when found.
the discord and dissension in the republic
can party will be allayed.
Thus declares President Cobb of the
National Tariff Commission Association
headquarters in New York
Mr.. Cobb goes on to predict:
Penalty for Failure.
''If this is not done the republican MEM
bers of Congress will be left the difficult
task OF convincing their constituents that
they have faithfully and consistently
carried out the platform on which they
were elected. And our efforts will have
to be directed to supporting President
raft IN his earnest effort to create an eff
fective tariff board under legislative pro-
visions entirely inadequate In their scope
and temporary in their nature
The republican party is in control of
Doth DIdHCHeS Oh congress ana is IN
position to make good by giving us
some progressive, constructive legislation.
The country believes that the republic
can platform means revision of the
tariff on the basis of reasonable and fair
protection to our Industries and labor
with reductions in all cases of excessive
protection and the elimination of all spe-
cial privileges.
Payne Bill Deficiencies.
This result, in the opinion Of a very
large proportion of the republican voters,
has not been fully accomplished by the
Payne bill, and the discussion as to
whether the bill is three-qua rters right
and one-quarter wrong, or one-auarter
right and three-quarters wrong, is not
going to be very satisfying, especially as
with no facts or figures in existence to
prove the claims the discussion can only
end in more discussion
1T is equally aside from the point to
discuss whether or not the Payne bill is
the best that can be expected under the
system of log-rolling and trading here
tofore Dracticed in tariff legislation. Ger
tainly no bill passed by either party for
a generation indicates that better can be
expected

clearly show that the country wants tar

manent board or commission, and the

Putty in Gun Cracks.

The conference report on the naval ap-
preparation bill called by Representative
Foss of Illinois, chairman of the House
committee on naval affairs. resulted in
some rather lively debate and the regis
tering by Representative Hughes of New
Jersey of some serious charges against
the Bethlehem Steel Company.
Mr.. Hughes asserted that there have
been deliberate attempts at the Bethle-
hem Steel Company's plant To deceive
the government in the manufacture OF
big guns for battleships, and that men
were employed TO putty up cracks and
hide other defects in the guns so that the
ordnance might pass inspection. He
wasn't able to say whether II had passed
inspection or not, but limited that there
would be an investigation to find out.
The Senate amendment prov iding that
one of the great 21,00o-ton battleships
appropriated for in the measure must be
built al the Brooklyn navy yard was
adopted.
The Senate amendment abolishing the
bureau of equipment was disagreed to.
The bill was returned to conference.
