orders and direction Of congress. 40
am in favor of accepting information
from whatever source the Same may
be offered. But I do not believe such
. board would be more efficient than .
committee Of members Of congress and
not nearly 40 committee composed
OF members having participated In the
many long and detailed tariff hearings
before the ways and means committee
and participated in the many delibera-
lions of congress upon tariff legisla-
ton.
am not in favor Of q tariff commits
sion to report on facts already conclu-
sively ascertained and demonstrated
to q mathematical certainty. nor to ad-
wise congress on cost secrets of pro-
duction abroad over which such board
has no power to compel disclosures
and the possessor Of which refused to
make known, nor to receive state
ments from interested parties, whose
testimony under oath already appear
ing In the hearing before the ways
and means committee, nor to go
through the mock forms of gathering
data for tariff legislation without the
power to subpoenea witnesses or COM
pei the production of books and pa
pers.
1.-THE importance OF advice from a
tariff board have varied with the ext
gencies OF the occasion and the pur-
pose to be served. AS long as the
high tariff barons held a safe majority
In congress. congress was conceded
the ability to pass upon and enact tar
III legislation. It was not until the de-
mand arose for reduction downward
and the advocates of lower tariff be-
gan to gain power that it was discov-
cred congress was incompetent to act
without the aid Of special advice and
instruction. The Dingley and Payne
laws were considered and enacted
without the aid of special advice
without the deliberations of the ways
and means committee being called or
the bills vetoed for want Of report
by a tariff board to initiate the pro-
ceedings. Not only was there no de-
mand for tariff board report prelimi-
nary to the raising of the tariff rates
when the high tariff forces controlled
politics and held congress, but 1T was
not then suggested that the tariff was
not proper subject of politics. 1t
was anly after the political trend was
toward tariff reduction that the ma
ture of non partisan board were dis
covered and the bane of politics be-
came disclosed.
The disadvantage of tariff board
not appointed by or responsible to
congress are that it will be made pre-
text for delay and will be used as
subterfuge to defeat tariff reform by
postponement.

CLUB
OPPOSES AEW.L|NE
Does Not Want Traction
Freight Cars Operated
on Main Street.

The Commercial Club has addressed
members of council protesting against
council permitting the intefurban
freight cars to run down Main street,
which IL proposed by the city admin
istration In order that the tracks may
be removed from Glen Miller park A
resolution to this effect was adopted
by the club and with it an explanation
was mailed to certain members of the
council.
The club. through it's former secre-
tary E. M. Haas, was instrumental in
effecting the compromise agreement
between the city and the TRACTION COM
panies which resulted in Glen Miller
park being determined upon as the
place for the freight line between
North e street and Main street. The
letter of Secretary Jordan and. the
resolution adopted by the organization
are as follows:
when the question of removing the
street car tracks from the Glen and
having the freight cars routed through
the city by some other street. possibly
Main street, the Commercial Club,
feeling very much concerned about
this matter, gave 1t very serious con-
sideration, with the result that 1t ad-
opted the following resolution. copy
of which is sent to you, SO that you
may see what attitude the club has
taken. We note from the papers that
several members of council are oppos.
ed to having freight cars pass over
the Main street route through the
city and we are glad to go on record
as favoring this view. We do not wish
to dictate the policy but felt the mem
bers might consider kindly a sugges.
ton that is given in spirit OF coop
Grafton.
BE 1t resolved by the Commercial
Club that it would be q serious mis-
take for interurban freight cars to be
allowed to travel over Main street line
through the city and we recommend
to our city council that permission be
not granted.
Yours very truly,
&c. w. JORDAN, Secretary. /"

The lawyer explained. but the Justice
informed him that he would not per
NIT any quibbling and would accept
only direct plea of guilty orr not
guilty. The defendant pleaded guilty
and was promptly sentenced to a fine
OF 500 or two months in the work
house.
When the trained dogs, which form
part Of the police force OF Greater
New York and assist in protecting the
sparsely settled districts on the out
skirts of the city. were sent to, Park
vile about year ago. the residents
were overjoyed. Choice titbits were
left on the front stoops on which the
dogs might regale themselves on their
midnight patrol. for the residents were
certain that the presence Of the
watchful dogs would keep all burglars
and other evil doors out of their dis
trict. The dogs made fine record,
helped to make many arrests and kept
ourgfaries at minimum, yet there is
growing dissatisfaction among the
residents. who have complained to the
Board Of Health that the police dogs
disturb their slumber with their rau-
cous barking. As the residents of
Parkville seem to prefer burglars to
barking dogs. the police dogs will be
transferred to Staten Island, where
the people do not mind the barking
of dogs half SO much as the safety OF
their homes. ~
