HOW TO REVISE THE TARIFF

Tariff revision in the abstract seems
70 be q universally accepted theory or
the part of the people of this nation
but tariff revision in The concrete is
puzzling question. The theory on
which it is to be done not only sharp
~ divides parties, parties, but splits
Me great parties into factions. There
y the tariff revision that aims TO ac-
rual to the cost of production at
iome and abroad, and tariff revision
hat discards the incidental item Of
protection and aims to put the tariff
On revenue basis only.
To these broad divisions has re-
Gently been added the theory of sci
entific revision, which some cali the
third school of economists. A Wash
ngton correspondent to the Chicago
Record Fl erald in commenting on this
most recent phase of the question
Iays.
THE third school has the argument
mat in every way seems best to fit the
situation as it has Unexpectedly de-
veloped. 1t holds that the great ia
cue at stake-an issue that dwarfs the
through reduction OF tariff burdens on
any single schedules the safeguard
ing of the principle of scientific re-
vision. which after years of agitation
has been accepted.
THE logic of the whole situation,
according TO the high minded, states
manlke view held by the defenders
of scientific tariff revision, compels
Q prompt veto of the bill passed on
mere guessing of what reasonable du
ties are and aightforward, ring
ing message over which Intelligent
folk of the nation may ponder.
Beyond question this view is the
one to which the president is in
clined at this writing. In other
words, the chance of his signing the
nondescript wool measure, which is
before him, is one in ten
The foregoing was written before
the wool schedule had been passed
UP to the president, but the whole
country now knows that President
Taft is not expecting to sign the wool
tariff as revised, and that he Is not to
be determined in his decision by what
some OF his advisors term political
consequences" In fact. President
Taft is strengthening his position with
the people by the fact that his Of
ficial acts are Independent of what
might be politically expedient" He
showed this in his attitude on the
reciprocity treaty, where his action
was criticised because he had to OPP
pose some of the strong leaders of his
party, but ne did oppose them, even
though the opposition was politically
inexpedient, and he is likely to veto
issue OF scientific revision and let the
future prove his craftsmanship and
wisdom.
Scientific revision represents the at
titude of Mckinley and Roosevelt on
the subject Both of these men while
president advocated the necessity OF
getting the tariff issue out of politics
and potting it where the items would

MOOD REVEALED BY FEET
Their Position Eloquent to Those

There is an art in reading the feet as well
as in reading the palm. 1t may seem
strange, but II is nevertheless a fact, OBJ

stretches his feet out in front OF him with
his toes turned up. One Of the most IA
nous portrayers OF Falstaff always adopts
this attitude as he sits drinking at the
table.
Mental contentment as opposed TO that
which is purely physical is shown by the
crossing OF one foot over the other. II the
condition becomes more marked one knee
is crossed over the other, and the free foot
is often swung to and fro. The moment

in anything the swinging ceases and the

Bashful people invariably sit with their
toes turned in. Why this should be II is
undoubtedly difficult to explain but there

WASHINGTON. April 2S.--Captain John
H. Gibbons today was selected as superin-
tendent of the United States Naval acad-
envy to succeed Captain John NJ. Bowyer,
on May Is. when the latter will voluntarily
relinquish the position on account of i'll

In announcing the change the Navy de-

the state of Captain Bowyer's health and
had no relation whatever to the recent
Miss Beers incident at Annapolis.
Captain Gibbons is a native of Michigan
and for several months has been a mem

Fifth Ward Improvement Club De-
votes Session to Improvements.
CRAIG TELLS OF PLANS ON FOOT
COrnish Advises Members to Try to
Get Iowa Property Owners to
Donate Their share of Land
for Driveway.

Carter park was the main issue at the
meeting of the Fifth Ward Improvement
club, at the clubs hall at Sixteenth and
Locust streets last night. e. J. Cornish.
park commissioner, and George Craig, city
engineer, made short talks to the club.
The proposed viaduct is planned to run
to the roof of a pavilion is to be built at
the west end of Carter park on the Ne
braska side of Carter lake. The roof of
the pavilion will be made into a roof
garden overlooking the entire lake and
the surrounding park. Mr.. Cornish said
the first floor beneath the roof would be
used for club purposes On the bottom
floor will be the boat house A boat will
be purchased by the city, which will make
trips to all parts OF the lake for a small
charge. The plans as given by him are
looked upon favorably by the board.
A bath house has been proposed to adjoin
the pavilion, where lockers would be OBJ
tainable and baths would be free. The
board is also considering putting up a
bath house at the upper end Of the lake for
the older people and making a nominal
charge
A driveway has been proposed to ex-
tend around the entire lake IL land on
the Iowa side IL donated. Mr.. Cornish re-
get the owners of the land on the Iowa
side of the lake to donate 100 feet OF land
along the front for the purpose Of the
driveway. In return for the land the park
board will haul dirt to that part of the
lake, raise the driveway above the high
water mark and plant trees and shrubbery
1t is the present plan Of the park board,
according to Mr.. Cornish. to plant trees
and flowers. A small lake will be made
in the midst OF the woods which will be
used for picnic purposes only.
A resolution was introduced at the meet
ing requesting the park board to eXpend
$4,000 annually on erecting and perfecting
a public park at Carter lake. This how
ever, was not adopted and was referred
to a committee at the request of Mr.
Cornish, who said that the city was under
contract to expend one-fifth of the park
appropriation for q period Of five years on
this park.

Ask Pay for Damage

When Dynamited
Plumber Thinks the County is Respon-

Explosion.

The county commissioners received a
communication yesterday from j. j.
Hannighen, the plumbing contractor who
stood heavy loss in the dynamiting of
the new court house last March, in which
he assumes that the county is financially
responsible for the loss he suffered. He
says that his part of the work is nearly
completed and asks the board when they
will be ready to have him go on with the
repairs on that part of the work which
was damaged by the explosion.
The board has taken no official action
yet, but members have expressed them
selves at different times as opposed to any
movement to make the county stand good
for the loss incurred in the explosion, The
matter will probably be carried to the
courts.

EXPERTS PLACED IN POWER

The German city has no mayor. 1t has

roughly to our mayor. His legal authority
Is far less than that enjoyed by the patri-
archal executives OF New York, Baltimore.

bility to watch a hundred men We decided
to watch but one. In order to escape from
troublesome council we threw ourselves
into the hands of an all-powerful executive.
But we did not insist that the despot should
be an enlightened one or should know any
thing more about the government Of city
than the council which We discarded. He
need only be an active politician, an ambi-
tious businesO man, or an aggressive leader.
The head of the German city is an ex-
pert. Both the Oberburgermeister and the
assistant Burgermeisters make a profession
OF their callings Nobody knows to what
party they belong. And nobody really cares
