this about In fact it is the sum total
of all that has happened at Washing

the month. And at that, only half of
that work has been done. because only
the Republican national committee has
yet assembled and deliberated. The

However. the senators and represen-

This process is likely to be especially
important with reference to the Re

Urges Reduction in All Rates and Endorses Report
Of Tariff Board, Which Would Assess Duty
On Scrubbed Wool and Put a Graduated
AID va|orem Rate Scale onto Cloth.
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Washington Dec 20.-Presdent
Taft sent to Congress today the long
awaited report of the Tariff Board on
Schedule X of the Payne tariff act,
and with il a message recommending
that the rates on wool and woolens be
materially reduced.
The report shows that the existing
duties on many classes of wool and
wool manufactures are prohibitory
and greatly in excess of the difference
in the cost of production here and
abroad. The duties are so arranged
to keep out of the United States en-
tirely woods of finer qualities which
if imported might be used to displace
the cheap substitutes now EN-
ployed
President Taft calls attention to
these points and urges that revision
of the schedules be proceeded with at
once.
He eharacterizes the report of the
Tariff Board as the most complete and
exhaustive statement of a difficult and
complicated subject ever presented to
a legislative body He declares it Il
monument to the thoroughness, indus
try, impartiality and accuracy Of the
men engaged in its making. He also
dwells with emphasis upon the fact
that the report is unanimous one
and asserts the belief that it will CON
vince all of the wisdom of making the
the Tariff Board permanent.
Neither the President nor the board
proposes definite rates Of duty, Mr.
Taft holding that the function of the
board merely is to present findings Of
fact on which rates of duty may be
fairly determined in the light of ade-
quate knowledge and in accord with
the economic policy to be followed.
President Taft recommends that the
proposed revision adhere to a protec-

County authorities, Jail officials and
counsel for Richeson all refuse to
make any comment upon the possible
mental processes which led the ac-
cused man to the determination to in

his act might have upon the further
legal progress of his case. District At
