HOWELL DISCONTINUED.

1T appears that Elder Howell, Rep
resentative In Congress, from the Utah
dominance, is a little disgusted at
everything going Taft way, and vet
he comedies that Taft deserves it. He
comedies that Taft is stronger than any
other man in the party, but appears
critical of Taft's attitude on reci.
procity and the tariff and distrustful
OF him with respect to his signing the
proposed wool tariff amendments.
Still, Elder Howell is hopeful that
President Taft will adhere to what has
been hitherto announced as his deter
mination not to sign any Dill meddling
with the tariff until after report is had
from his Tariff Board. But that Tar.
if Board seems so very long in getting
at some few elementary ideas and op-
erations, that the feeling has grown in
Washington that perhaps, after all
President Taft might sign that bill
Therefore. hurry call is sent out to
all Of the faithful standpatters to get
to Washington at the earliest day pos
sible, so as to head off any attempt
to pass the wool tariff bill over the
Presidents veto; and Elder Howell is
hurrying TO Washington in obedience
to that call
Another matter Of bitter discomfort
with Mr.. Howell. is the control of the
House of Representatives by the Dem.
ocrats. He insists that arbitrary and
road-roler methods are being employed
by the Democrats in such a manner as
to shame the most arbitrary acts OF
Speaker Cannon, and of the Republi-
can majority in the last Congress- In
this, however, Elder Howell 3 judgmeu
is undoubtedly warped by the personal
equation. In the former Congress he
was member of the party which EN-
ployed the methods to crush the mi
nority. In this Congress he is mem

makes very important difference to a
man on which side of the chamber he
is when this crushing process take,
place Tho crusher, or ad.roller. as
Elder Howell expressed it, operates on
different side Of the chamber now
from the side that it operated upon last
winter; that is the only difference.
To the candid onlooker, who took no
part in the former crushing, and views
the present crushing in dispassionate
spirit, there would seem to be even less
cause for complaint among the crushed
in this Congress than there was in the
last Congress. especially prior to the
time that the arbitrary power of Speak.
er Cannon was curtailed. We think that
anyone who will impartially investigate
the proceedings Of the House will cas-
lily discover that, under the present
management, there is less arbitrariness
on the psrt of the majority, and greater

THE COTTON TARIFF BILL.

| The House of Representatives. on
Thursday passed the bill proposing
amendments to the cotton tariff as
fixed in the bunko law passed two
years ago We consider this bill the
best and the most important Of any yet
proposed by the Democrats. 1t is bet
ter than the proposed scaling down OF
superior to the illogical and unprece'
dented farmers free list bill.
The purpose is, to reduce the cotton
tariff twenty one points out of forty
eight, and leave the average duty on
cotton fabrics at rate that will ay.
erage twenty-seven per cent ad valo-
rem, in place for forty-eight per cent
as now. But some of the outrageous
items in the cotton schedule are elm.
mated or reduced so as to bring then,
within practical common sense. Some
of the cotton schedule items provide for
tariff running almost up TO two hun
dred per cent ad valorem.
This cotton schedule was framed with
an especial view to the advantage of
the cotton manufacturers or New
England, and especially of Rhode
Island, without regard to the general
public Of the United States, or to any
other interest whatever than Just that
On the passage Of the law, a general
cotton combine among the New England
factories was put into effect; the price
Of cotton goods was raised all along
the line; and production curtailed SO
that the market would not be over
stocked. That is to say, the cotton
tariff bill of 1909 actually fostered and
helped in the formation of the most
vicious trust and combine, affecting
industry, and controlling the cotton
markets of this country in more arbi-
trary degree than ever before posi-
BILE The initiation of the capital of
the cotton plants under this combine is
so enormous that the prices of cotton
goods had to be raised. In order to
provide dividends and interest on
bonds, to an extent that has practi-
cally killed our foreign cotton goods
trade, and has allowed of the importa-
tion into the United States of double
the amount of foreign-made cotton
goods that we export to foreign parts.
The cotton schedule of the tariff of
1909 was the most stupendous indus
trial and economic blunder that was
ever carried in any tariff bill in this
country. 1t has been q surprise that
the Democrats did not put the PROPOSE
tion to amend the cotton schedule the
first Of all, and push it as the key.
note of their campaign. But now that
they have got to it, we trust that there
will be no failure on the part of the
Senate to agree, and we hope also that
President Taft may sign the amended
bill; to the end that relief may be
given to the American people from the
extortions of the cotton combine

THE PEACE PACT SIGNED.

The treaty providing for the arbi.

nations involved has been signed by
the United States, by Great Britain
and by France Henceforward there
can come up no possible point of diff

that will not be subject to arbitration

ganda; for, while it is not in the least
likely that any offensive and defensive
alliance is carried in this treaty, the
effect of it must necessarily be A closer
an almost imperative dictum for peace,
and against war among any of the
civilized peoples.
The terms OF the treaty are not
given out; they probably will not be
given out until they are officially rat
flied by our Senate, and this ratifica-
tion, it is stated. is not likely to oc-
cru during the extra session, although
there would appear to be no reason
why the ratification should not be i'm
mediate.
1t was President Taft who spoke the
suggestive word which led so quickly to
this vastly important compact. He
stated that no saw no reason why a
nation should reserve any questions
whatever from arbitration, even the in
teerity of its boundaries, or it's honor
as a nation. Sir Edward Grey, For
eign Secretary in the British Ministry,
cordially responded to the sentiment,
and invited President Taft to formulate
lines on which such an arbitration
treaty might be drawn. Thereupon
President Taft set Secretary Knox to
work to draft such treaty, and that
work is now finished, ambassadors

of France, collaborating in the drawing
up Of the treaty and formulating its
terms. 1t is, undoubtedly, the most
magnificent achievement in the inter

warfare, the entering wedge which will

fact that the men had taken the bene-

they made good wages would not pay

by creditors TO try to make the men

annoyance to officials. Men who have
