dates for Governor, that il elected they
will sign the local option bill if passed
and will not interfere with its passage
They also declare their belief that the
people have a right to vote upon all such
questions. This takes the local option
question out of the Governorship con-
test.
The League does not indorse or sup
port either candidate for Governor, but
leaves every voter in its constituency
free to vote in accordance with his own
judgement as to his responsibility as a

the League from any charge of partisan
unfairness.

alton in favor of self-government by
the heads of both tickets will practically
force the legislative candidates to do
the same in self defense.

and more comfortable for travellers.

B|LL 70 REDUCE
TARIFF REVENUE
FARMERS FREE LIST MEASURE
MERGER or DEM. ARGUMENT.
MAJORITY MAKES REPORT
Report Declares Administration Is
Convinced That Protective Tariff
Rates Are Too High.
BY Associated Press.

hy ANhlclhlOu IIehts
Washington, April 19.-The major
ity report of the ways and means
committee on tho so-called farmers
free list bill submitted TO the House
today by Chairman Underwood is a
merger of Democratic argument and
an analysis Of the proposed duty eX-
emption. The report shows that tho
bill viii reduce the tariff revenue
I1O,016,495, based on the importa-
ton of the last fiscal year.
Quoting President Tafts recent
Canadian reciprocity speeches the re-
port seeks to convey the impression
that the administration is convinced
that protective tariff rates are too
high. I'm several public addresses"
'he President has admitted that tariff
rates are too high that such rates
have resulted in excessive high prices
felt especially in the increased cost
Of living that now bears heavily on
our people and that they have not re-
ceiyed the long promised benefits Of
domestic competition under high pro-
teCtiye duties" Referring TO the
Presidents statement that the Repub-
lican party had modified its policy as
to limit it for purposes of protection
to the difference in cost of production
here and abroad, with a reasonable
profit to the United States producer,
the committee report says, this Is a
confession as was the Republican
platform Of 1908. that the theory OF
high protective duties as put forth
by the Republican party has broken
down and that combination ana trusts
which prey upon the people have been
fostered by the tariff and that under
high tariff protection United States
manufacturers have gained unreas-
enable profit"
President Taft is again referred to
I'm the report quoting from his speech
Of February 20, 1911, in which he
said, "by giving our own people ac-
cess TO the Canadian forests we shall
reduce the consumption Of our own
which In the hands Of a few owners
now have value that sequircs the
enlargement of our available timber
resources"
