strictly to the declared measure. In
order to avoid criticism of this kind,
in the future, and for the purpose OF
more nearly conforming to the party
promise, congress at it's last session
made provision, at my request, for
the continuance of board created
under the authority Of the maximum
and minimum clause of the tariff bill
and authorized the board to expend
the money appropriated under my di-
rection for the ascertainment of the
cost of production at home and
abroad of the various, articles in
cluded in the schedules of the tariff.
The tariff board thus appointed and
authorized has been diligent In pre-
pairing itself for the necessary in
vestigation. The hope of those who
have advocated the use>of this board
for tariff purposes is that the rate of
duty imposed shall become more of
business question and less of po-
litical question, to be ascertained by
experts of long training and accurate
knowledge. The halt in business
and in the shock to business, due to
the announcement that new tariff
bill is to be prepared and put in OPP
Grafton will be avoided by treating
the schedules one by one, as occa-
sion shall arise, for change in the
rates of each, and only after re-
port upon the schedule by the tariff
board competent to make the report
1t is not likely that the board will be
able to make a report during the
present session of congress upon any
of the schedules, because a proper
examination involves an enormous
amount Of detail and great deal of
care; but | hope to be able, at the
opening Of the new congress, or at
least during the session OF that con-
gress, to bring to its attention the
the present tariff that may prove to
need amendment. The carrying out
Of this plan, of course, involves the
full cooperation of congress in limit
ing the consideration in tariff mat
tiers to one schedule at time, be-
cause if the proposed amendment to
a tariff bill is to involve a complete
consideration of all the schedules
and another revision, then we shall
only repeat the evil from which the
business of this country has, in time
past, suffered most grievously by
stagnation and uncertainty, pending
a resettlement of a law affecting all
business directly, and the effect of
which no wise business man would
ignore in new projects and invest
ments. / can not too much empha-
size the Importance and benefit Of
the plan above proposed for the
treatment of the tariff. 1t facilitates
the removal Of noteworthy defects
in an important law without distur-
bance of business prosperity, which
is even more important to the hap
piness and the comfort of the people
than the elimination Of instances OF
injustice in the tariff.
The inquiries which members of
the tariff board made during the last
summer into the methods pursued by
other governments with reference to
the fixing of tariffs and the determi-
nation of their effect upon trade,
show that each government main
tains an Office or bureau, the officers
and employees of which have made
their life work the study of tariff

TAFT SUBMITS
MESSAGE To CONGRESS

from the convenient and economical
spot. In the actual construction of
the buildings closer scrutiny of the
methods employed by the govern
ment architects or by architects en-
ployed by the government, have re-
suited in decided economies. 1t is
hoped that more time will give OPP
portunity for more thorough or
ganization. The last public build
ing bill carried authorization for the
ultimate expenditure of $33,011,5O0
and 1 approved because of the many
good features it contained, just as
approved the river and harbor bill,
but it was drawn upon a principle
that ought to be abandoned. 1t seems
to me that the wiser methods of pre-
pairing a public building bill would
be the preparation of report by a
commission of government experts
whose duty it should be to repor. to
congress the government neds in the
way of the construction of public
buildings in every part of the country
just as the army engineers make re-
port with reference to the utility o!
proposed improvements in rivers and
harbors, with the added functions
which / have recommended for the
recommendations the relative I'M
portance of the various projects
found to be worthy of approval and
execution.
The Payne Tariff Act
The schedules of the rates of duty
in the Payne tariff act have been
subjected to a great deal of criticism
some of it just, more of it unjust
and too much Misrepresentation
The act was adopted in pursuance OF
declaration of the party which is
responsible for it, that a customs
bill should be tariff for the pro-
lection of home industries, the mea-
sure of the protection to be the diff
ference between the cost of produc-
ing the imported article from abroad
and the cost of producing it at home.
together with such addition to that
difference as might give a reason
able profit to the home producer. The
basis for the criticism of this tariff
is that in respect to number OF
the schedules the declared measure
was not followed, but a higher diff
ference retained or inserted by way
of undue discrimination in favor of
certain industries and manufactur-
ers. Little, If any, OF the criticism
of the tariff has been directed against
the protective principle above stated;
but the main body of the criticism
has been based on the charge that
the attempt to conform to the mea-
sure of protection was not honestly
and sincerely adhered to.
Tariff Board
The time in which the tariff was
prepared undoubtedly was so short
as to make it impossible for the con-
gress and its experts to acquire the
information necessary to conform

BOYS FIRED FOR JOKE
BUT RESULTS WERE FATAL

Anadarko, OKLA, Dec. 81. b.
Cooper and Willie Magard, who live
five miles northwest of oakley, were
lodged in the county Jail yesterday on
the charge of having shot and killed a
man named Miller, 20 years of age,
Sunday night. Miller was camping
with family of rovers named Gros-
sick.
Cooper and Maggard are said to have
been out on a spree and armed with
revolvers Miller was prevailed upon
to take them to their homes, which
were in the immediate neighborhood,
On getting to where the young men
were willing to part company with
Miller he started back to the camp
and the young men fired several shots
at him, just to scare him. as Cooper
testified at the preliminary hearing.
They will not know until the next day
tnat Miller was killed He had lain
through the night where he was killed
by 45-oaliber ball.
