That Mr.. Macveaghs counsel on, the
tariff law has been highly valued by
the President is an open secret. He
has been one of the staunchest cham
pions of a tariff board which would
take up the whole subject of protec-
ton from statistical and scientific
standpoint. PR 80 s,s.,t,.a
Rumors have appeared from time to
time during the last few months that
Sec. MacVeagh was one Of the men
who was slated togo out of the cab
met in the near future. The men who
have known the relations between the
President and his secretary Of the
treasury, take Mr.. Taft's declaration
on the subject of the tariff revision as
another indication, that MT. Macveagh
is still regarded by the President as a
useful member Of his cabinet.
