DALzELL C0NFERS
WITH PRESIDENT
Pennsylvania Congressman
Believes Republicans Will
Agree on Tariff

Washington. Nov. 1S.-Representa
tive John Dalzell today called at the
white house and had talk with Presi-
dent Taft about the work of the tariff
board and tariff legislation that is like
~ to come before the next session of
congress Mr.. Dalzell found the presi-
dent in q very happy frame of mind.
evidently satisfied with the political
situation.
MY conference with the president
related to tariff Matters" said Mr..
Dalzell. II found that the report Of
the tariff board on the wool schedule
will be ready when congress convenes
and the president does not expect it
until about ten days after the opening
Of the session. He will Immediately
forward 1t to congress and the Re-
publicans will stand by the report in
advocating revision of that schedule.
1T is my opinion that the Repuhli-
can members of the house and senate
will agree to the revision Of the wool
and cotton schedules in accordance
with the facts presented in the tariff
boards reports and do nothing else.
No doubt the Democrats will bring out
their revision bills as they did at the
extra session. and the Republican
mittee will have to get together and
frame wool bill of their own to Of
fer as a substitute. They will do the
same thing with cotton, presenting a
substitute bill. We have taken the po-
sition that we would not agree to the
revision of any schedules, until they
have been Investigated and reported
on by the tariff board. and it seems to
me that we must adhere to this posi-
ton. In that case it is probable that
Republican revision bills will only be
framed to cover wool and cotton. the
subjects which the board has investi-
gated.
However, understand the tariff
board is now busy looking into the
metal schedule. but it seems unlikely
that they will be able to finish their
investigation of this industry in time
to make report during the present
session OF congress-. The iron and
steel trade is SO extensive it would ap-
pear to be impossible to gather the
facts concerning 1t inside of a year or
two. But If the board should make a
report on the metal schedule it is
probable the Republicans would frame
a bill on that subject also.
"It is evident the country favors a
tariff board to gather expert informa-
ton to be used as a basis for legisla-
ton, and the Republican party has de-
clared in favor of this plan. There
fore. it is only the part of consistency
that we should insist that no revision
should be undertaken unless we have
the expert information collected by
the tariff board respecting the sched-
ulc it is proposed to revise"

PANIC INSURANCE

Repetition of Crashes

New York. Nov. 1s.-"Money panics
don't hurt the rich" said Andrew Car
negie today. when asked why he
thought the United States had 'the
worst banking system in the world.
"Panics hurt the working people. The
rich can manage to get through a
panic like that of 1907 without suf-
fering: it is the people who depend
upon daily earnings for their daily
bread who feel the cruel burdens OF
panics. The rich do not suffer for
lack of food. or clothing. or shelter,
because hundreds of thousands Of
American workers are thrown out Of
employment. as they were in 1907,
and as they were In the eos and in
the 70's."
Mr.. Carnegie said that while no
great industrial country could insure
itself against occasional periods of
business depression following over
experience of Europe showed con-
clusively that money panics could be
prevented even In time of war.
isn't II humiliating thing" said
he. that this great rich country of
ours is the only civilized country in
which money panics occur? We don't
need to have panics any more than
fer from them because we have a
banking and currency system that
breeds panics.
BEFORE I came home from abroad

an Illuminating lesson Of how sound
banking system prevents panics. The
