governments mingled with the crowds

only to avert any attack on the lives
of the royal personages, but also TO

such an occasion
AS a result Of the police plan the
early risers got the best public seats
for viewing the procession today
Forty-five gates barred and studded
and each eight feet high, barred the
entrances to the streets on which the
procession passed, and the moment the
police judged that the streets we're
comfortably full these gates were
closed.

an address on ''state forestry" before
the department of political economy

necessary to aid in retaining the wood

has been simply appalling, amount
ing to $9.000,000 in 1908 and to over
$5.O00,000 in 1910 and our fire warden
system has proved absolutely inade-
quate, as it is based upon the wrong
principle of fighting fires after they
occur and not preventing them."
MIR. Griffith said If Wisconsin had
been as wise as Minnesota and retain
ed its timbered lands instead of sell
ing them the forester would have a
going concern and the timber would

it became mature. and thus be able

He advocated the establishing by
different counties of forest reserves

ACCORDING TO PLATFORM
The Test of Tariff Rate, He Says
Should Be the Difference Between
the Cost of Production at Home
and Abroad.

Washington, Dec. '20.-President
Taft sent to congress today the long
awaited report of the tariff board on
schedule K. OF the Payne-Aldrich
tariff act. and with 1t u message rec
omnlending that the rates on wool
and woolens he materially reduced.
The report shows that the existing
duties on many classes of wool and
woolen manufactures are prohibitory,
in the cost Of production here and
abroad. The duties are SO arranged
as to keep out Of. the United States
entirely the woods of finer. qualities
which. If imported. might be. used to
djsplace the cheap substitutes now
imported. The president calls atten-
tion to these points and urges that
the revision of the schedule be pro-
ceeded with at once.
He characterfzes the report of the
tariff board as the most complete and
exhaustive statement Of the difficult
and complicated subject ever present
ed to legislative body and declares
It is a monument to the thoroughness.
industry. impartiality and accuracy of
the men engaged in it's making.
He also dwells with emphasis upon
the fact that the report is an unani-
nous one and asserts the belief 1t will
convince all Of the wisdom Of making
the tariff board permanent
Neither the president nor the board
propose to danounce the rates of
duty, President Taft holding that the
function of the hoard merely is to
present the findings Of fact on which
the rates Of duty may he fairly deter
mined in the light of adequate knowl-
edge and in accord with the eco
nomic policy to be followed. The
president recommends that the pro-
posed revision adheres to the policy
of protection based upon the differ
