TNDIANA'S DEMAND FOR .
TARIFF COMMISSION.

In their platform lately adopted at
Indianapolis, the Republicans OF that
State spoke out for a tariff commits
sion with real authority, and spoke N
no uncertain terms. They said:
We demand the immediate crea-
tiOn of q genuine, permanent,
partisan tariff commission,
with ample powers and definite
duties fixed IN the law itself
This demand Is not only right but
there Is much evidence that public sen
timent is growing more and more pro
nOUnced IN favor OF such a commits
sion The demand Is nos met by the
existing tariff board, whose powers are
inadequate at best and are interpreted
in one way by the White House and
in another way BY the Senate leaders.
That is not to say the tariff board
Is lacking in value, for, with the Presi-
dent interpreting the law as giving the
board large powers, II may accomplish
a great deal IN finding out the work
ings Of schedules and the difference in
the cost Of production here ana abroad
At best, however, it Is lacking in
needed inquisitOrial powers, and It Is
liable any year to be thrown into the
junk heap if the men who are opposed
to having any tariff investigation com
mand the votes to cut down the appro-
preparation for It, or wipe out that ap-
preparation entirely
President Taft has asked Congress
for S250.0GO for the tariff board. Over
this viii wage a fight The friends Of
a real tariff commission viii endeavor
TO get the law amplified and strength
ened. The friends OF high protection
VIII resist knowing full well that the
fabric OF duties which has been built
up by the influence of special interests
cannot stand the sesrchIight which
strong and disinterested commission
would turn upon It
Indiana Republicans have done well
10 emphasize the need for a real tariff
commission. It Is a live issue Other
States It Is to be hoped. VIII follow
suit Il has become clear that there
Il lust one way TO get the tariff intelli-
gently and properly revised downward
That Is through the means OF facts,
gathered By unbiased officials, which

dices can dispute OF ignore and no
