TAFT'S MESSAGE
ON WOOL DUTIES
1t Accompanies Exhaustive
Report of Board on
Schedule K
ADVISES REDUCTION Of DUTY
But Only on Finer Grades in
Accordance With Policy of
Protection

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican}
Washington, D. c., Dec. 20.-Presi.
dent Taft sent to Congress today the
long awaited report of the tariff board
On Schedule X, of the Payne tariff
act, and with it a message recon-
mending that the rates on wool and
woolen material be reduced.
The report shows that the existing
duties on many classes of wool and
woolen manufactures are prohibitory
and greatly in excess of the difference
in the cost of production here and
abroad. The duties are so arranged
to keep out of the United States en-
tirely wool of finer qualities, which If
imported might be used to displace
the cheap substitutes now employed.
President Taft calls attention to
these points and urges that revi-
sion of the schedule be proceeded
with at once.
He characterizes the report of the
tariff board as the most complete and
exhaustive statement OF difficult and
complicated subject eveF presented
to legislative body He declares it
a monument to the thoroughness, in
dustry, impartiality and accuracy OF
the men engaged in its making. He
also dwells with emphasis upon the
fact that the report is unanimous and
asserts the belief that it will con-
vince all of the wisdom Of making the
tariff board permanent.
Neither the President, nor the board
proposes definite rates of duty Mr.
Taft, holding that the function Of the
board merely is to present findings oi
fact on which rates OF duty may be
fairly determined in the light OF ade'
quate knowledge and in accord with
the economic policy to be followed
President Taft recommends that the
proposed revision adhere to policy
Of protection based upon the differ
ence in cost Of production at home and
abroad.
