TARIFF BOARD ON WOOL.

The report Of the tariff board on
Schedule X. which the president sent
TO congress with message. recon-
wool rates, but a different method of
levying them.
The present plan is TO lay tax of SO
many cents on every pound OF wool i'm
the grease that is imported This is
eleven cents pound under the Payne
Law. IL is assumed for tariff purposes
that 1t takes three pourtis OF wool in
the grease 10 make pound of scour-
ed wool. and four to make a pound of
cloth. Hence a tarifr of thirty three
cents is laid on secured wool and for
ty-four cents on wool cloth.
Now the tariff board discovers that
the assumption that in four pounds
Of wool In the grease sixty-six per
cent is useless scourings is a false one,
that the real loss is often fifty per
cent or even less. The need of change
in the method Of taxation consequently
is evident.
The present system gives the manu-
wool which has come in as scourings
While the public is taxed forty four
cents on the assumption that the manu-
facturer has imported one pound Of
cloth wool, whereas he really has about
half a pound more. But ne has care.
fully kept this knowledge from the
public, and has pocketed the advan-
tage, passing the full tarif on to the
consumer.
This arbitrary estimate of one pound
IN four came from the manufacturer
He fed il TO congress years and years
ago. and congress has never changed
the ratio, because it never had any ac-
curate information. 1t never knows
the truth. The Payne Law followed its
predecessors in this regard. and the
Democratic special bill passed last
summer adopted the same old set OF
calculations.
Here is something we have already
gained from the tariff board. We are
beginning to get a glimmering Of the
thimble- rigging which went on when
manufacturers dictated their own rates.
II a crippled tariff board, working less
than year. can lay bare as much
practical information as this board has
brought out on wool. it would seem
10 be the part Of wisdom to continue
it, enlarge its powers, and give it the
standing Of a statutory board
