to who should give the most to the

of giving them what they wanted, but
of seeing how much they would take. "

our leaders on the democratic side
will capitulate as readily as he. I
think decapitation for a good many

on the tariff question. Some of our
vociferous leaders are going to talk
about free wool and lower taxes, and
lower tariff. Do they not know that
in voting for this bill to increase pen

tariffs? have not much patience for
our fellows who are about to talk for
a lower tariff after having voted for
this bill.

marching in, with his rake on his

say: Il have fed you fellow for

Martin forgets that the aged and
broken down farmer is taken care of
abroad, and gets pension which
enables him to live in at least COM

Commerce and Labor that there are
laws on the statute books in Eng.

providing old age pensions, not only
for their farmers who surely in our

Of our nation, but also for men and

ChaPactePlzes Report as Most
Complete Statement Ever Pre-
senled 10 Congress
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. 20-With the
long awaited tariff boards report on
woolen schedules, sent to congress
today went President Taft's mess
age recommending that rates on wool
be reduced materially. The message
characterized the tariff report as the
most complete statement on the diff
cult subjects ever presented to a
legislative body. The president gives
emphasis to the fact that the report
is unanimous He recommends that
the proposed revision adheres to the
protection policy based on the differ
ence between the cost of productl ol
at home and abroad. He explains
that the wool bill was vetoed last
August because he believed that Dub
lie policy demanded that he wait IN
til the board had made its report
The boards report suggests a gen
eral revision of the duties on Wool
and many reductions in wool rates.
In nearly all classes of the schedule,
the board experts report that q ma
lofty OF the. duties are prohbitory
and condemns the system of levying
them. The board would assess duty
upon scrubbed wool, but not wool and
grease combined, and suggests
graduated scale OF adyaierom rates on
all wooden cloth.
