pose of tracing the costs OF pr0duc-
ton from the back of the sheep TO the
back of the man.
The first task which confronted the
tariff board was to devise a set of
schedules which would enable the
wool grower and the wooden manufac-
tuner so to segregate all the various
items Of his work that the tariff board
would be able to ascertain the exact
status OF every feature of the indus
Try. In making up the schedule ON

culture, one from the, forest service
and professors of sheep husbandry
from several state agricultural col
leges. It was assisted in this work by
expert accountants, and the members
of the board believe that the result

elwcidating the information desired by
the tariff authorities

to rely primarily, if not altogether, OF
his own Judgment and intuitions in de

and administrative matters.
The president is said to have
reached this conclusion after tallins

that the only mistakes he has made
