President Makes Recon-
mendatiOn to Congress.
REPORT OF TARIFF BOARD
Investigation of Experts Shows That
Existing Duties on Many Classes of
Wool and Wool Manufactures Are
Prohibitory and Greatly in Excess
OF Difference In Cost of Production
Here and Abroad.

Washington, Dec. 81. - President
Taft sent to congress the long await
ed report of the tariff board on sched-
ule X of the Payne tariff act and with
rates on wool and woolens be materi-
ally reduced.
The report shows that the existing
duties on many classes of wool and
wool manufactures are prohibitory
and greatly in excess of the difference
In the cost of production here and
abroad. The duties are so arranged
as to keep out of the United States
entirely woods of finer qualities which,
If imported, might be used to displace
the cheap substitutes now employed.
President Taft calls attention to
these points and urges that revision
of the schedule be proceeded with at
once.
He characterizes the report of the
tariff board as the most complete and
exhaustive statement of difficult and
complicated subject ever presented to
a legislative body. He pronounces 1T
q monument to the thoroughness, in
dustry, impartiality and accuracy of
the men engaged in its making. He
also dwells with emphasis upon the
fact that the report is unanimous
one and asserts the belief that it will
convince all OF the wisdom of making
the tariff board permanent.
Neither the president nor the board
proposes definite rates on duty, Mr..
Taft holding that the function Of the
board merely is to present findings OF
fact on which rates of duty may be
fairly determined in the light of ade-
quate knowledge and in accord with
the economic policy to be followed.
Believes In Protective Policy.
President Taft recommends that the
proposed revision adhere to policy
Of protection based upon the difference
In cost of production at home and
abroad
The tariff boards report OF its in
vestigation struck rough water as
soon as 1t reached the Democratic
house. At the conclusion of the read
ing of the presidents message, which
was greeted with applause from the
Republicans and silence by the Demo
Gratis, an attempt was made to have
the report referred to the ways and
means committee without printing.
Republican leaders demanded thai
the whole report be printed at once
In the absence Of Democratic Leader
Underwood, Representative Ransdel
OF Texas said the ways and means
committee wanted to pass upon thu
documents first and determine wha
should be printed. He pointed Il

before roxt week.
District Attorney Wilkerson resumed
his address when court opened He
described with minute details the work
ing of the system by which the combi-
nation of packers is alleged to have
suppressed competition and fixed
prices.
"The crude methods of the old pool
were supplanted in later years by the
operation of the National Packing
company, by which the packers at
tended weekly meetings as directors oil
the corporation and fixed prices" said

Same Results Obtained.

"Under the new system the packers
met as directors instead of as indi-
viduals, although precisely the same
business was transacted and the same
results obtained Prices were decided
upon, the country's meat business di-
vided among the different members of
the combination and the shipments to
different markets agreed upon.
The members used code of trade
terms in fixing prices at these weekly
meetings. 1t was an ingenious scheme
effected after years OF study and ex-
perience.
Mr.. Wilkerson then described the
methods of the combination in sup
pressing competition.
He said rate wars were started In
certain districts to drive independent
packers from the field. In other In.
stances troublesome competitors were

 During the fiscal year ending June, 1910, 1124 properties were denounced comprising almost 24.O0O pertenencias. Tne greatest number of Announcements being made, con taining 5,259 hectares.
 The total value of mineral mined during the year 1s09-10 was some thing like 26,09o,0e0 pesos.
 The agricultural possibilities of Sonora are unlimited and even with the present methods employed the production of dierent crops is great During the year 1909-1O the value of produce raised was some thing like 1O.000,OO0 pesos, of which the Arizpe district was second with production of nearly 2,500,000 pc sos worth of produce.
 The Arizpe district, in which Can anea is located, in the production on cane furnished over 150,000 kilos.

 The Arizpe district is undoubted. ly the richest in the state and this is due mostly to the mining and cat tie raising industries.
