THE GREAT TARIFF BOARD

In his vetoes of the tariff bill
passed at the extra session Of
congress. President Taft had a good
deal to say about the Tariff Board
and the facts it would lay before
the house in December. AS the
republicans are making capital
out Of Taft's vetoes and the
wonderful work this board is
supposed to be doing, it is well to
let the people know who compose
this board that the president leans
on and their fitness to collect the
data necessary for a revision Of the
tariff downward.
Congressman James, a member
Of the ways and means committee,
in discussing the PRESIDENTS vet oe

them is Prof. Henry G.. Emery a

Saunders. And whC is Mr..
Saunders? He is the editor of the
Breeders Gazette. in other
words he changed his vocation
and now has become breeder of
proc!astination in dealing with
the tariff question. We carnot
assume that he knows anything
about the tariff question unless his
vocation as editor Of the Breeders
Gazette would lend color to the
assumption that he might know
something about il because the
tariff does breed monopolies and
trusts by the wholesale, which
have so thoroughly oppressed the
people Of the United States for the
last Is years. Another is Mr..
REYNOLDS, Assistant Secretary of
the Tereasury, who knows nothing
Of the tariff. Another is Mr..
Page, a professor in a college ia
Virginia. He has had no training
or experience along tho tariff
line. The last one is Mr.. Howard.

is a delightful gentleman. He is
great lawyer and great
orator, but during all Of his
service in this House, Mr..
Speaker, no friend Of his ever
asserted that he was an expert
upon the tariff or even claimed Ia
give special attention to the
tariff.
But now, since appointed on this
hoard by President Paft, he be-
comes a great expert, together
with these other gentlemen. My
friend the gentleman from Illinois
(Mr. Cannon), with IS ycnrs of

what to do about this tariff ques-
tion.
Why, some gentlemen say that
we are undertaking to put Presi-
dent Taft in d hole. No, Mr..
Speaker, tine people will attend TO
that November a year from now.
The people we are undertaking TO
put in hole are the owners of the
Wool Trust, the Harvester Trust.
the Farmers Implement Trust.
The monopolies of this country are
the ones we are seeking to put in
a hole.
You tell us that by this Tariff
Board you are going to take the
tariff out of politics. Do you
know when you will take the tar IF
out of politics: will tell you
when the tariff barons, the trusts,
and the monopIics take their hands
out of the pocket of the American
people.
Why, Mr.. Speaker, after the
Republican Party had betrayed its
promise to reduce the tariff, as
they declared they would, the
people were heard. They sent a
Democratic Congress here, fresh
from them, assembled practically
sooner than any Congress in many
years. and this Congress has
written It's belief in a tariff bill.
IT goes to the other side, and the
Republican insurgents become con-
WINGED that the tariff is a robbery
to too great al extent, and they
join with US and sent to the Presi
dent this bill. The President
Vetoes it. sends il back, and says
wait, wait till the clouds roll by,
wait until something happens that
perhaps never will, and when it
does happen, if it ever docs, as it
will happen from the hand of the
men he appointed, we, as the
representatives of the American
people, have a right to assume
that it will happen as he desired
it should happen. And yet when
you vent to make the Mckinley
bill there was no Tariff Board
Export necessary when you went
to make the Dinglcy bill no Tariff
Board report was necessary, and
when you went to make tho Payne
Aldrich bill no Tariff BDad report
was necessary. When does it be.
come necessary? When the peoples
representative are in charge and,
keeping faithfully their promise
made to the American consumers,
W ant to reduce the IurtCIs of
taxation and have chance to do
it. Then the cry is raised, "A
Tariff Roard report is necessary"
The Republicans say to us. "Wait
until the board reports we piled
the taxes up on the American
people in the Mckinley bill. the
Dinglcy bill, in the Paync-A ldrich
| bill without any Tariff Board re-
port, but when you go to take the
burdens off of their backs you
must wait for the Tariff Board
to report" It is their Tariff
Board; President Taft appointed
them, and will control their re-
port. Wait for it. In other
words, its delay, delay, while the
robbers continue 10 pillagc and the
trusts and monopolics continue
