PLANS FOR CAPITOL
WILL COST THREE MILLION DOL
LARS TO CHANGE.
Members of Special Legislative Com
mittee Inspect Designs as Prepar-
ed by A. w. Todd.

At the session of the general as.
sembly in 1910 a special commission
was named by Speaker Whaley tt
make an investigation and report or
the feasibility Of enlarging the State
house. Among the members of the
commission were Mendel L Smith o
Kershaw county, now speaker, and
A. w. Todd, a, member of the house
from Charleston County.
The State says this commission has
been hard at work for the past two
years and at the last session reques7
was made for more time to complete
the work. A. W. Todd is vel
known architect and he has prepared
plans for the enlargement of the
State house. According to the plans
of Mr.. Todd the improvements would
make the capitol one of the handsom.
est in the world.
The portico plans now used are
considered second to one building
according to experts. These plans
call for the expenditure OF S3,O00,'
600 within three years. These plans
will be submitted to the general as
sembly and it is expected that some
definite action will be taken. Fol-
the past several years there has been
much discussion as to more room
for the State officials. When the
general assembly is in session there
Is little room left in ether buildings
There has also been much discus
sion as to a building for the supreme
court. Under the plans of Mr.. Tood
there would be special quarters fol
the supreme court in the new state
house. The dome on the building
would be changed, modelled probably
after the dome ON the capitol at
Washington, and there would be two
wings to the present structure. The
original Ni,ernsee plans called for a
beautiful tower, Gaping the porch

THEY MADE NO DEAL
NOTHING IN THE VISIT OF TILL.
MAN AND JONES.
Capt. John G. Richards States That
There Was No Political Signifi-
canoe in Tier Visit.

That the recent visit of Senator B.
R. Tillman to his home recently has
no political significance whatever was
the declaration OF Mr.. John G. Rich
ards Monday afternoon. Mr.. Rich
ards also says that conclusions which
have been drawn from the supposed
visit of Sen. Tillman and Chief JUS
tice Ira B. Jones to his home at the
same time, to the effect that Mr..
jones would have the political sup
port of Senator Tillman and Mr..
Richards, should he make the race
for Governor next year, are entirely
erroneous.
This statement was called forth by
an editorial in the Sumter Item which
has ben copied in various State pa
pers. This comments as follows:
1--WE have been wandering what
would be the political outcome Of
Senator Tillman's and Chief JUS
tice Jones visit to Mr.. John G. Rich
ards of Liberty Hill, and while we
have not yet found the answer. the
following editorial in the Lancaster
News is somewhat Illuminating"
The editorial in the Lancaster pa
per referred to is merely comment
upon the current reports that Chief
Justice Jones would enter the race for
Governor next year. After quoting
this the Sumter paper continues as
follows: "R Chief Justice Jones
should enter the race for Governor
against Governor Blease and If he
has the assurance of the support Of
Senator Tillman, Mr. Richards, and
their friends, Cole Blease, will not
serve two terms as Governor all pre-
cedents TO- the contrary notwith-
standing"
"I have read comment in the col
umns of the News and Courier"
said Mr.. Richards, this statement
from the Sumter paper Of visit of
Chief Justice Jones and Senator Till
man to my house surprised me very
much. Senator Tillman and I as is
well known, have been warm perso-
nal friends for a number Of years.
His visit to me had no political signif-
icance whatever Chief Justice Jones
did not visit my home while Senator
Tillman was there, and therefore I
do not see how the Sumter paper
drew or came to itsr conclusions,
which were entirely erroneous"

Who Compose 1t and How Some Of
Them Stand in the Tariff Question
HAVE CAST LARGE sum
The Board is Composed Largely OF
Political Nondescripts, Friends Of
the President, Who Know Little or
Nothirsg About the Tariff, Except
That Ilhey Are Protectionists.

The Tariff Board was appointed by
Presiden: Taft in September, 1903,
under at throity OF paragraph in the
"maximum and minimum" section OF
the Payne-Aldrich tariff act, which
gave him. authority to employ experts
to detect any discrimination made
against Ghe United States by foreign
sovernm ents and to assist the OIL
GERS of the Government in the admin
istration of the customs law.
Nothing in the Tariff act autho-
rized tha President to appoint per-
manept board or to use its members
for the purpose of securing informa-
ton as 70 the relative cost OF COM
modities here and abroad, either for
his own use of the use OF Congress.
The President, however, amplified
his authority and Congress has &C
quiesced by appropriating S550,0OO
for the work of the tariff board. -
Besides the work for which it was
intendet-of advising the President
whether foreign countries were en-
titled tt the minimum tariff OF the
Payne-Aldrich law-the board has
made a study of the law itself, has
compiled tariff glossary, begun
fied Investigation or various sched-
ules, including cotton, wool, .chemi-
cal and iron schedules. It assisted
in the framing of the Canadian reci-
procity pact and expects to be ready
to report on the cotton and wool
schedules by the end of the year.
The tariff board originally consist
ed of olly three members, Henry
Crosby Emery, Alvin Howard San
ders and James Burton Reynolds, all
Republicans, but it was enlarged in
1910 to enable the appointment of
two Democrats, William Marcellus
Howard and Thomas Walker Page.
Henri Crosby Emery was profes-
sor of political economy at Yale when
President Taft appointed him Chair
man of the board. He is a SON Of
former Chief Justice Emery Of Maine
and has always been Repuohcan
and a protectionist All his life he
has spent in classroom work, which
has necessarily kept him out of touch
with thu people. He has never held
any puhlic Office, but has written a
treatise on Speculation on the
Stdck md Produce Exch anges Of
the United States" and is the author
of "Cohmbia University Studies" AL
though ne will only be thirty-nine in
December he has taught economics
for eighteen years, having been ap-
pointed professor Of political econo-
my at l}owdoin in 1894 and at Yale
in 1900. He is a personal friend of
President Taft, but has never taken
any active part in politics.
