orders the officers and men to participate
in such tournaments. which involves ex-
penditures for transportation of officers

BEvERIDGE COMMENDED
FOR RECIPROCITY STAND
Andrew Carnegie Writes Indiana
Senator, Incidentally Favoring
Canadian Agreement.

From Andrew Carnegie Senator Bev-
eridge has received congratulations for
his sand in favor of the Canadian reci-
procity arrangement.
'I wish to congratulate you upon your
stand in regard to reciprocity" Mr.. Car
negie SAYS, in a letter received this morr-
ing by Mr. Beveridge. There is no pos
sibility Of injury to our own people from
free trade with Canada; conditions are
very much the same In both lands and
the cost Of transportation OF any COM
modify in competition with our neighbor
gives a sufficient tariff. The economic
question can sadly be discarded. but the
moral and friendly results to flow from
this opening of the doors between US are
incalculable.

York. The chamber OF commerce passed
a vote unanimously in favor of 1t.

unanimous. I notice this morning two
other societies are registered in favor

conditions have changed: that We had N

produce a home supply cheaper than We
can import or not. Our friend, Secretary
Wilson. thinks that he is going to demon

the supply Of the west would be protected
by the cost of inland transportation. !

COL. GOETHALS URGES
FIXING CANAL RATES
Tells House Commerce Com
mittee That Shipping Inter-
ests of World Await Action.

Col. George w. Goethals, chief engineer
of the Panama canal. appeared before the
House committee on commerce today to
urge the enactment Of legislation fixing
the shipping tolls which will govern pas
sage through the waterway. He declared
1t essential that this matter be attended
to by Congress as soon as possible, as the
shipping interests of the world demand at
least eighteen months advance notice of
the rates.
incidentally, Col. GOethals made the fiat
declaration to the committee that the
isthmian canal will be completed by Sep
tember, 1918, at cost of $500 OOO, 600 in
Guiding all appurtenances. and will put
the Tehuantepec route, it's only trans
oceanic competitor. out of business.
Representative Mann of Illinois, chair
man of the commerce committee, has in
troduced IL bill fixing the canal tolls. To-
days hearing was on that measure.
Total Cost Of $3.50, 10000
The cost of the canal, the machine shops
at Balboa. the Pacific terminal. the coal
ing stations at both the Atlantic and Pa
cific terminals and other supply stations
are all INCLUDED in Col Goethais' es,i-
mate of $500, ,OOO, 900 for the enti.e cost OF
the great waterway. He also believes
It will be possible to build dry dock
within the estimated limit of cost Of the
canal.
1t is essential. Col. Goethals said, that
the government control the coal supply
stations SO as to prevent private interests.

quirement of land for coal depots.
Col. Go.thals declared that lat rate
of 81 per net ton for vesse-s passing
through the canal would give the trans
cont. t.nental railroads serious competition
in business from San Francisco to New
York.
The committee did not act on the bill.

Danger Behind Tariff Wall.

sEners was . time when leading re-
pubilcans thought that there was no
danger Of having tariff higher than
necessary to protect any industry. 1t was
thought that II the country was made de-
pendent on manufactures behind the tariff
wall the competition between the manu-
facturers would stimulate the reduction
in the cost Of production and thus re
duce the price.
But the temptation to combine by
which the price could be controlled and
thus the excessive tariff taken advantage
OF led to a modification Of the protec-
tion theory and to a declaration that
the protection of any industry ought not
10 exceed in the tariff imposed more than
the difference between the cost of pro.
duction abroad the cost of production
mere, and enough to give fair profit TO
the domestic producer manufacturers
This limitation of the protection theory
necessarily took away any grounds for
a tariff between this country and any
country in which the conditions of pro-
duction were substantially the same. The
conditions of production and Of !hanufac-
ture in the United States and in Canada
are substantially the same. Wages may
differ In one part of Canada from an
other part. just as wages differ in diff
ferent states in this county, but. taken
by and large, the character of tho labor
srs. their intelligence and their skill and
the price paid them per unit of work are
not subste Mt ally less in Canada than they
are in this country

Canadian Cattle Needed.

The President further asserted that III
removing the artificial barriers between
the northwestern part Of the United
States and the Canadian provinces the
agreement would result in the bringing
over of live cattle to feed on the corn
of the American farmer. He added that
the rapid increase of population III the
United states required "a source or 1000
supply like Canada, right at our doors.
We shall be blind, indeed said the
President If We reject this golden op-
portunity to add to the strength and vi
rility of our country by thus increasing
our self-supporting capacity:
The President asserted that no step
could be taken more in the interest OF
a reasonable policy of protection than
the approval of the treaty." and that in
s.stence on too much protection woulo
rouse an opposition In the country that
will know no moderation He said that
that was his reason also for favoring the
creation of "an expert tariff commission
or board
Not Revision of Tariff
He suggested that the tariff board
might re-eNamine and modify other
schedules If necessary. but that reel
procity agreement with Canada is not
revision OF the tariff. and in the naturfs
of things cannot present the balance
and the adjustment of all the duties
against foreign countries which q con-
sderation of the tariff as a whole would
involve.
We have taken UP these things that
are involved in a Canadian reciprocity
treaty because opportunity offered" de-
ciared Pres dent Taft in conclusion. Now
is the accepted time. She is at the pait-
ing of the ways. Shall she be an isolated
country, as much separated from US as
if she were across the ocean, or shall her
people and our people profit by the prox-
unity that our geography furnishes and
stimulate the trade across the border
that nothing but useless, illogical and
unnecessarw tariff wall creates?'
