TARIFF ~TINKERING.

The protective policy has become
the accepted economic policy OF the
United States in its commercial deal.
ings with foreign countries. 1t Is the
~professed and practiced policy OF one
party and the practical policy of the
other party. The two differ in the
application of the policy and the de.
gree of application. The policy itself
has ceased to be Q political issue.
The voters of the United States
have shown that they desire the re-
moval of the abuses of the protective
policy that have grown upon the tar.
if. They nevertheless wish the Am.
erican market protected for American
industry and American labor. They
believe that this object q be attained
by the imposition Of such duties on
imports as, in the judgment OF fair
and competent specialists, measure
the difference between the cost Of pro-
duction at home and abroad, leave q
fair margin of profit to American pro-
ducers and do not burden the con.
sumer.
Experience has demonstrate that
sound and permanent reform of the
tariff cannot be had by the means and
agents that have so far been used.
The reform by congress has been pc.
litical, sectional, selfish, unintelligent
and, usually, Influenced by the special
interests themselves that we're the bene-
6ciaries Of protection. Business has
been disturbed by tinkering with the
tariff. The country has become con-
WINGED that 1t ia to the best interest OF
business and the public welfare that
revision of the tariff should be taken
out of politics, and that action by
congress should be based on the rec.
ommend atoms Of economic experts
and specialists who have studied the
subject.
The 61st congress created a tariff
board of this sort, and for these pur.
poses. The people want this board to
have a fair chance to show its capaci-
ties for usefulness.
The cd congress was called in spe.
cial session to ratify the reciprocity
agreement with Canada. 1t was not
called to enter on the reform of the
tariff at this session.
The public wishes congress to con-
clude the business for which it was
convened and not to work at the tariff
now. Business is suffering from the
suspense and uncertainty caused by
tariff legislation.
Such work as the so.called farmers
free list and the new wooden schedule
is not based on the recommend ations
OF the tariff board. 1t is hit.or-misl
revision, whose effect cannot be an
ticipated, and is open to the suspicion
of being political stage thunder.
Patriotism and sound Judgment
should suggest to the members OF
congress that they wait for the find
ings of the tariff board and thus obey
the sober second thought of business

BLAIR ON
 ALL-ARIzONA LEAGUE
Thinks t a Good Scheme Ii t Can Be Carried
 Out

Tommy Blair. manager Of th Warren District Baseball league looks upon the idea of formin an All-Arizona baseball league fo the three fall months as Bill Smith a south Alabama convert, regardes fore-orGination and predestination Having confessed his sins, the min ister asked Bill if he believed in those principles of the Presbyter ian faith. The daffydill went way show it -Oh. think they are all right if they are carried out right" he replied.
 That's Tommy's idea of the pro posed 1eague. He believes in it Is strong for it, if it can be carried out. if the scheme is prac- ticahie T think it would be a healthy tonic for baseball in the territory and would help in bring ing the game up to where 1t used to be before the advent of tho late Cactus league. but the thing to consider Is whether the idea Is practical and can be carried out. . said the league manager yesterday
 Would Require Salary.
 Mfr. Blair believes that the best way 10 get line on the scheme is 10 give t a thorough discus sion, fro and con, fore and aft. The carrying out of the idea would necessitate having a fund. for the expense Of the teams would be heavy. Some Of the players could nl afford to lay oE long enough 10 make trip 10 Tucson, for in- stance. and it might be necessary 10 open ID salary list
 The original idea was to hold a tournament, but the league idea was then suggested as an amend nent. which would be a tourna ment on a larger scale. IT was proposed that the best players of the league in each city represent that city in the league. The plan has been favorably received in Globe, Phoenix and Tucson.
