rAFT'S THREE POINTS
PRECEDENT SHOWN As sTAND-I
PATTER OF FIRST WATER.
In effect the Chief Executive Declares
Els Opinion That the People Are
incapable Of Deciding Tar
/ IN Question.

In his preliminary talks and adj
dresses in the east and in his veto
messages, President Taft indicated
the points he would seek to emphasize
In the course Of his western trip
that Is, In connection with tariff dis
cussion.
Those talks, addresses and messages
show that he bases his policy and pro-
gram on three assertions.
The first is, that he will deal with
the tariff on the basis of recommended
tons by board appointed by himseu
and responsible to nobody but him
self.
Second, he Is opposed to all tariff
legislation not in accord with the Re-
publican national platform.
And, third. congress is incompetent
TO exercise proper Judgment on tariff
matters.
Last November, the people sent to
congress new lot OF representatives,
especially charged to carry into effect
the popular demand for tariff revision
Mr.. TAFT pronounces the people In
capable of deciding on such p0'ifies
and scorns the men selected to carry
them into effect-though gratefully
welcoming their aid In connection
with his pet projects.
He stands pattest OF the pat in ser
vile adherence to party platform
heresies.
He announces adherence to no plans
or policies not formulated by his per
sonally conducted tariff board.
These are the three points of his
propaganda in the west. He grows
weaker and weaker, all the time. in
the estimation and support OF the
people.
Ripley County democrat., 1911-11-03

No revision OF the tariff would bS
scientific" except a revision that
would take out the graft. Any tarirf
designed to raise prices instead OF be-
ing designed to raise revenue is graft
measure--it Is so by the law OF its
being, and cannot be anything else.
The understanding Of the president
and of the friends OF the tariff" is
that scientific" revision consists in
going about among the beneficiaries
10 md out with how much profit they
should be reasonably content. and
then fixing the schedules 30 that the
benefits desired would accrue. City
councils might with equal justice con
salt with municipal contractors as to
the profits desired by them and award
contracts in accordance with the un'
derstanding reached. Tariff graft and
contract graft are In the same cate
CORY Of wrongs; the only difference Ia
that the former has obtained legaliEed
respectability and an odor of sanctity
while the latter is still penitentiary
of1enss which smells TO heaven.

champ CIark's RepIy.

Champ Clark's reply TO President
Taft reduced to Its essence. amounts
70 this:
"We Democrats were put In power
on our pledge 70 give the people re-
lief from tariff exactions. We did our
best to keep faith. We helped the
president put through the reciprocity
bill because II meant lower duties.
We united with progressive Repubh
cans In other tariff legislation for the
benefit OF the people
I'VE stand for the best interest Of
the masses; be stands for handful
of protected tariff barons and BY his
veto enables them to continue to levy
unjust and exorbitant tribute upon the
consumers Of the land"
Badly. that Is the issue as II nov
stands. And on that Issue there car
be no question what the verdict OF tbs
people must be.

it was to carry out his promise.
that he bought S12 burial outfit
