Tariff Probabilities.

The new scrutiny of schedules will be
lnaugurated this week. 1t seems hardly
more than yesterday that the Republican
committee on ways and means. whose
members gathered at a high bench in the
hearings room of the House office build
ing, plunged into a long task of examina
ton and cross examination, but it was
more than two years ago While Taft
was President-elect in the late autumn of
1905 he came down to Washington and
met those Republicans of ways and
| means for a talk at the residence of Mr.
W. J. Boardman. Now the work is to be
| done over again by Democratic ma jori-
ty of ways and means
The Republicans worked several
months. They concluded their hearings
just about two years ago and spent a
few weeks framing the Payne bill which
was introduced when the first and extra
session of the present or 61st Congress
| assembled in the middle of March. 1909
Their work did not materialize into a
completed law. signed by the President
till August, 1909. and, short as the time
seems. that law has actually been in force
now for year and a half The Demo-
Gratis intend to take more time in their
preparations, although according to pres
ent indications they will by no means
bring in as comprehensive measure as
did the Republicans.
While the air is full of gossip about an
extra session of Congress, there is now
no real prospect that there will be one.
Apparently the Democrats can not begin
their tariff tinkering till next December.
President Taft is the only man who can
enable them to begin it quicker. and the
only way he can do it is to call an extra
biity that he will, unless some cxigency
arises that can not now be forescen.
Everybody at Washington expects the
Democrats to attack Schedule X, that
portion of the tariff law which imposes
duties on wool and woolens. President
Taft has said that those duties are prob
ably too high. which gives the Democrats
excuse for framing reductions and war
rants them in expecting that the Rcpubli-
can Insurgents will join in passing the
bill through the Senate and also that
President Taft would sign the bill Ev-
cry body also expects the Democrats to
abolish the duties on foodstuffs, on cat
tie. sheep, hogs. grains, vcgeta bles and
eggs The will possibly have at many
as half a dozen separate tariff bills. al
though it Is ii matter of conjecture how
far they will CO.
AS they proceed with their scrutiny,
which promises to last till June / here
in Washington and be resumed again
here October l, there will be great con.
Germ to ascertain the trend of their judg-
ment. but necessarily little of definite
character will be known for quite long
time.
