CLAIMS TAFT'S TARIFF STAND
SHOWS BOTH COURAGE AND WISDOM

while justihably disappointed in some
of its provisions. had been misled as
to it's real merits. knowing that the
bill. lame though it was in some par
ticulars. was a fuIallment in part at
least of the party pledge he would
have been a coward indeed had he re-
manned silent as to it's virtues and suf-
fered his party and republican con-
gress. to bear undeserved obIoquy in
silence.
Mr.. Taft did not write the bin and
it was not wholly satisfactory to him.
but he has set splendid example to
other republicans by standing for what
of good there is in the measure. What
would you have said of his steward
ship if he had quarreTed with congress
during that extra session and as a re-
suit had failed to secure any legisla-
ton? What would you have said Of
his silence when you ultimately
learned. as you will learn. of the real
value of this new tariff bill?
He is not an apologist for the meas
ure. Since it has been put in operation
it has grown rather than diminished in
his favor. He has been its defender
and expounder, and L say to you the
man who has the courage to so before
a misinformed and complaining people
and insist that they shall have an op-
portunity to know the truth exhibits a
courage and a bravery that should at
least bespeak for him fair and inn
partial hearing. He has set new
standard of political courage and he
eompels the admiration and respect Oh
men who realize what this attitude
means He is talking straight to the
people, he has the courage of his con-
victions. and, moved by sublime faith
in the sense of justice of the American
people, he goes. before them and sub
mits cause which is his only by adop-
tion, but upon which may hinge the
welfare of his party.
To a man who has given soma
thought to politics it is perfectly ap-
parent that "the interests are quite
willing that the next house of repre-
sentatives shall be democratic.
II democratic house can be elected
the situation will be bottled up with a
vengeance. and 1 believe the response
bility for it will fall not upon the ad-
ministration, but upon those critics
who have persistently attempted to
widen the breach in the party and dis
sIpate a strength that should be solidi.
fed into unit for legislative progress.
even though that progress does not
keep pace with the desires of the i'm
patient JAS. p. BROWN.

Contracts have been let for the con-
struction and equipment of 125 large
steel passenger cars to operate over the
1,200 volt suburban lines of the South
ern Pacific, now being rapidly COM
pleted at Oakland The cars are note
worthy because of their large seating
capacity, 116 passengers, their all steel
construction with turtle back roofs and
their low weight per passenger seat,
1866 pounds The order includes 40
motor coaches. % combination coach
and baggage motor cars and so trail
ers. The designs for the new cars were
prepared by the engineers of the South
ern Pacific and Union Pacific associated
lines.
Each of the motor coaches has two
platforms with step openings, divided
by pipe stanchion extending from the
platform floor to the middle of the
lower step. Each step opening is pro-
tected by a steel grill gate, mechanic
ally operated. The interior of the mo-
tor coach is not subdivided, except that
a toilet room is partitioned off at one
end of the car Folding cabs for
inclosing the control equipment and

Ita mo oh nd , cal
are provided in the baggage end of the
combination coaches.
All of the interior finish of the car
body is steel and the sides below the
windows are only as thick as the steel
plate used to cover the framing. In
this way an extreme interior width is
obtained. Because of the extreme width
of these cars it is possible to increase
greatly the seating capacity, using
seats which accommodate three pas
sengers on one side of the aisle and
two passenger seats on the other. The
window end of each seat is carried on
a pressed steel bracket riveted to tho
car siding. Each trailer and motor car
has "a two passenger seats, 20 three
passenger seats ana two passenger
bulkhead seats On the side of the
aisle which has the three passenger
seats the seat nearest the door is of
the two passenger size, 80 that there
may be ample clearance for passenger
movement.
The combination cars have Is two
passenger seats, 16 three passenger
seats and ? two passenger bulkhead
seats. The three passenger seats have
cushions 53 inches long with armrests.
The two passenger seats have SO inch
cushions and are slightly over SO inches
long over all. Ventilation of the car
body will be effected by the use of 10

rically effective demonstration in his
behalf, he knew it would be fatal to
real legislative progress. He knew
that the cause of pure selhshness
would be served by following the
promptings of the hysterical.
If ever he felt like yielding to the
temptation the period of his hesitancy
was so brief that no one has aver
charged it up against him, and they
have charged him loosely with about
everything except dishonesty. He laid
aside the temptation and quietly pur-
sued the only course a thoroughly de-
termined and unselfsh man could pur-
sue. He refused to. dfscredit the re-
publican members of congress. He
might have trampled upon their repu-
tations. He might have held them up
to scorn and ridicule and blasphemy.
He might have sent them back to their
constituencies shamed with the stamp
of his disapproval, charged with party
perf1dy and treachery, and in so doing
he might have taken unto himself
great honor. He might have earned a
noisy popularity through the doing of
it. but he would have destroyed all
hopes of remedial legislation, and he
withheld from the cowardly act
He has stated and restated that the

it was and is a much better bill than
the people believe it TO be. The coun-
publican party is the party of protec-
ton. The country and the administra-
tion knows in a vague way that
reductions in the tariff in certain lines
would be advantageou but it is too
much to demand legislation on rumors
and bald statements. 1t would be
harmful and unwise to predicate reduc-
tions on naked assertions.
Taft took the only course a man
with a judicial and fair mind could be
expected to take. He demanded the
facts, not charges. and asked for an
appropriation that would enable him
to procure an investigation and a re-
port as to the actual facts. When
such reports are in the country may
feel assured he will not be slow to
make such recommendations as the
facts disclosed may justify.
