PROGRAM FOR EXTRA SESSION
Tariff Legislation Demanded by All
the Varied Interests Of the
Country.

President Taft would naturally pre-
fer to postpone all further modifica-
lions Of the tariff Except the pro-
posed Canadian agreement-until the
present or larger and more gener-
ously empowered tariff board shall
have made reports on some Of the
most faulty schedules.
But the people are not in mood
for delay in tariff legislation. They
want Canadian reciprocity, but they
want still more slashing of some of
the most outrageous duties imposed
by the present law. 1t is the prospect
of a more general revision, rather
than that of Canadian reciprocity,
that has created unusual interest In
the extra session.
1t is UP to the Democrats to show
their hand on the tariff. They have
come into power in the House through
the betrayal of the people by the Re-
publicans. The house that met in ex-
ira session April is the same house
that will meet In regular session in
December. There is no need for de-
lay. And If the policy announced some
time ago by Speaker Clark prevails
there will be no delay. The new speak
or declared that IL there should be an
extra session the Democrats would pro-
coed to cut out the most fragrant
abuses of the existing law. that no
preparation was needed for that task
and that there could be no excuse for
delaying the operation. And that is
the truth. If the long tariff session OF
1909 did not sufficiently enlighten the
leaders Of congress on the principal
"1okers" In the new law, certainly the
operation and discussion Of the act
since that time have made them clear
enough.
The Democrats will make mistake
II they postpone tariff revision, and
the Republicans will make another
mistake II they oppose tariff legisla-
ton IN the special session.
Nevertheless, the Democrats should
take a friendly attitude toward the
proposed permanent tariff commits
sion. Their policy of revising by
schedules, continuously applied, would
be especially dependent on some
permanent source of reliable informa-
tion.---Kansas City Star.

Pnesldsnt at Eaul4

Any congress which starts out with
an extra session. followed by the two
regular sessions, and whose lack Of
performance necessitates an extra ses-
sion of the one following it, cannot
be body which will be regarded IA
vorably by the public. But congress
has not been altogether to blame for
the unpopular administration. The
president himself has failed to sense
the restless and insurgentlike spirit
of the country, and allowed himself
the easy poise of the smiling execu-
tive. Whether this might have pass.
ed muster in other times 1t is folly to

PluralitIes.

Senator Root favors bill under
which In the event of a legislative
deadlock until March 4 in senatorial
elections. the candidates receiving the
largest number of votes should be de-
clared elected. That would mean the
substitution of plurality for ma
jority vote. One objection to such
law Is that If 1t had been in effect
1t would have insured the election of
Mr.. W. F. sheehan as senator from
New York. And surely there is better
senatorial material to be found in that
great state.
