PRESIDENT NOT CONSISTENT
Veto of Tariff Bills Hard to Account
For, However Plausible the
Argument.

President Taft has done a whole
sale business in vetoing tariff bills.
His principal alleged arguments
against the measures were that they
were not proposed or backed by the
tariff commission, and that they were
not scientific" According to his no
ton, congress and the country must
wait till the commission shall have
made a report.
Well. that proposed reciprocity ar
rangement with Canada is inc of the
most important tariff measures ever
considered by the nations lawmakers.
The tariff board had nothing to do
with it's preparation. And yet Mr,
Taft favored it. He did everything
in his power to secure favorable &C
ton on 1t.
Why such discrimination?
That monstrosity in the way Of leg
islation, the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill,
was not prepared by a tariff commits
sion. But Mr.. Taft signed it!
The president condemned the WOO!
schedule of that act as "indefensible."
Yet he vetoed a bill intended to rem
edy the defects of that schedule.
When he signed the Aldrich-Payne
bill, he gave the tariff robbers the
benefit of the doubt" They have
continued to profit under that benefit
Ever since the provisions of the bill
went into effect, the country has beer

If the schedules prepared by lobby
lists in the interest Of the trusts wer'

presidents approval, that same pres
dent places himself in a most ridicr
lous position by vetoing the measure
adopted by the special session!

eary's Way and a Better One.

Judge E. H. Gary (Andrew Carnes
gie's "pawley chief") thinks the gen.
eral government should take under its
exclusive control all the industrial cor
porations and Trusts. Is that inspired
by the thought of putting the general
government under control Of the cor
p~orations?
A nuch better way of dealing with
most of the trusts, including the steel
trust, is to take the tariff props from
under them. Thus there will be no
need of government Intervention in
behalf of the trusts through the me-
dunn of a powerful bureaucracy In the
national capital. There is already too
much bureaucratic government with
out extending its power.

sarily follow, because all things
change, that they must need change

Three years ago the demand for

the Republican national convention
was forced to declare for it in the plat
form adopted at Chicago. The party
redeemed its pledge by the enactment
of the Payne-Aldrich law. When the
people were called on to indorse ito
work they refused to do so, and elected

When the Ways and means commit
tee was holding it's hearings before
framing the tariff act of 1909 Mr.. II.
E. Lippitt of Rhode Island, a manu-
facturer of cotton goods-now a SEN
ator from that state-appeared before
the committee on behalf of the cotton
manufacturers. This was what he
said:
Il am not appearing here to ask for
an increase in the duties on the cloth
clauses of the cotton schedule. | think
that while there are importations go
ing on under them, 1t is reasonably
regulative of the cotton trade. The
importations are not so large that we
feel justified in asking that the duties
be increased, but we would not Ike
to see them decreased. We ask, there
fore, that the present schedule shall
not be materially changed"
Ia spite of this admission the whole
cotton schedule was revised upward
by amendments, most Of which were
introduced by the senate. A heavy
tax was laid on mercerized fabrics.
which In ttself greatly increased the
rates OF duty on more h a n u

/ But most extraordinary of all wal
the trick of Senator Aldrich, who
raised the rates on cloth throughout
the schedule by the simple process O
rewriting the duties, as he explained
in the interest of uniformity. The du

the fabrics. These ad valorem duties
he converted into specific d%uties--dl
