A Shrewd Move.

Political observers regard this
move as about the shrewdest that has
been made during the present admin
istration. 1t offers an excellent op-
portunity for the insurgents and reg
ulars to get together in the campaign
and President Taft has been exceed
ly anxious to find ground upon

With the creation of the tariff
board under the Payne-Aldrich act
and the enlargement of it's power by
provision of the last Congress, the
President believes a way has been
opened to put the tariff on scien-
tific basis for the first time in the his
tory of the country.
Mr.. Taft proposes to obviate open
ing the whole tariff act to recommend
to Congress that after any schedule
is taken up for further consideration
rule shall be passed by both the
House and by the Senate providing
that amendments to a certain sched-
ule of the tariff shall be in order and
that any amendments not germane to
that particular schedule shall be de-
clared out of order.
The President already has had two
conferences with Chairman Fl. C..
Emery for the tariff commission this
summer. The first of these was on
board the yacht Mayf1ower at Bar
Harbor late in July and the second
was at Burgess Point two weeks ago.
The President proposes to have the
entire tariff board meet him in Bev-
erly some time in September.

Only a Fair Profit.

Mr.. Taft does not propose that
business shall be upset by anothe er
wholesale revision but he will recon-
mend to Congress that individual
schedules in the tariff system be TAX
en- up separately and be disposed of
on a scientific basis. The new re-
vision is to be based upon the find
ings of the tariff commission as to
the cost of production at home and
abroad. Only a fair profit is to be
allowed the American producer. ''Ex-
tortionate and unreasonable" profits,
the President declares, are to be toll
Grated no longer.
The President has tated these
facts and has outlined his position
in detail in the letter he has sent
to Representative McKinlay, of Illi-
nois, for publication in the Republi-
can Congressional textbook. The let
ter was mailed from Beverly yester-
day. The time of making it public
has been left entirely to the judg-
ment of the committee.
