The Tariff War WAKES Warmer.
When the Democratic House called
upon President Taft for a report of
schedules, the President replied that
the board would not be ready 10 re-
port on wool and other important
schedules before next fall, and that
as soon as their report was ready Civ
ing the differences In the cost OF pro-
ducfion and the cost OF labor here
and abroad as a basis on which 10 TX
a fair and just tariff schedule, that
the same would be forwarded 10 Con
gress, and he further said that he dic
not think that the business Interests
Of the country should be jeapor'
died by radical tariff legislation un'
till such accurate information Whict
would soon be in hand could be con
sidered.
Without waiting for this informa
ton. the Democratic House passed
bin cutting the wool schedule half IL
two. Speaker Champ Clark has an
nounced that the Democratic Hous
will continue to rush through Dill
cutting down radically and withou
any hearing or information on
l schedule after another.
@ Playing Politics.
d It is plain that this is being don
a as a political move to furnish Demo
d cratic campaign thunder for the neA
/ election. It is understood, howeve
: that President Taft Is not disturoe
by this effort to play politics on IL
r. mart of the Democratic House, b'
II that will be ready to furnish Congre
r. next fall with accurate ofhc1al ln1o
< nation on all of the leading sche
K ules on which to base a proper tar
D revision. It is also beginning TO D
l. come clear that when that is dol
r that the stand-pat Republicans al
as the progressive Republicans W
n unita in voting for such a reductl'
ry which the tariff board shows IS Ju
and proper When that is done,
nurpose Of the Democratic pop-g'
bills, prepared and rushed throu
u without any accurate ln1ormaIle
u will be so clear to the country u
K the Democrats will be robbed or t
OF onlv issue with which they had
nope to WIN DIT me ueAI
Is II is now clear that the reclproci
;" treaty for which the President cali
ne the Congress in extra session Will
TO ratified without amendment, and 1t
'e- thought that when this is done II
It's nothing further can be accomplish
ng at this session and that Congr'
roi will adjourn. While the President
he not what might be called a good pt
on tician, yet it seems that his strait
lat forward and patriotic course in
nd matter will put him ahead of
OF politicians in the game tnat they
DC trying to play.
