MENACE TO INDUSTRY
EVIL IN DEMOCRATIC JUGGLING
WITH THE TARIFF.
Party is at Its Old Tricks, Subordinat-
ing the Interests Of the Country to
Its Own Welfare-Obliga-
tlons Dlsregarded.

II the Democratic leaders In the
house of representatives were able to
get their program for tariff tinkering
taken more seriously they might in
fluence profoundly the whole course
OF trade and industry in the United
States II It were believed that they
could carry their plans through the
senate and the white house their ac-
ton might have great effect upon
the business and prospects Of every
section OF the country.
In that case the public could not
fail TO note with dismay that the par
ty dominant in the house of repre-
sentatives deliberately turns away
from light and seeks TO work its will
in darkness. II refuses information
and acts on less knowledge than 1t
has within reach. 1t spurns the aid
OF the tariff commission and chooses
for Immediate revision schedules
which the tariff board has not yet re
ported upon instead Of those which II
has investigated at great length and
with extremely enlightenlng results.
This method. this attitude. is so H.
logical. SO careless OF the obligation
all lawmakers ought to recognize TO
get at the truth and act with the full
este possible knowledge. that II II
could be made effective In the work
OF amending the tariff grave business
disturbances would inevitably follow.
II needs nothing more than such
legislative triiing with the basic bus
iness conditions OF the country TO tip
tho balance toward failure for many
a venture which mclght succeed with
little better opportunity. II Is easy
for self-seeking politicians to blight
the hopes and dArken the lives OF
thousands OF men. drive scores TO sui
eide and wreck hundreds OF homes
forever, by subordinating common
sense. logic and business principles
TO the desire for power.
In this case. fortunately. there is no
reason to fear that in the near future
any reckless and ignorant tarin logis'
lRtlon can become part OF the law
OF the nation. The barriers between
tho leaders Of the majority In the
house OF representatives and the sue
cess OF their partisan scheming and
business blindness are too high TO per

DEMOCRATS VS.. TARIFF BOARD
Party viii Not Have the Approval Of
tho Nation In Its Action on
Important Matters.

The Democratic house OF represen-
tatives will not gain in popular es-
TEEN by killing the tariff board. The
threat to discontinue appropriations
for the work of the experts seems TO
be inspired by political motives and
desire to embarrass Mr.. Taft.
Gathering. collocating and properly
presenting vital data is the work that
the board is called upon to perform.
Such work cannot be done hastily.
Careful investigation is necessary. and
the board itself knows when It is
ready to report. 1t is not to be be-
lieved that the board is willfully de-
laying It's report on the iron and steel
tariff or on any OF the other work It
has undertaken.
Because the report is not imme-
dlately forthcoming the house Demo
Gratis profess TO suspect there is some
kind of collusion between the board
and the president They seem TO fear
that there is a plot TO prevent tariff
revision during the present session.
The proposed abolition OF the board
can be considered merely as a threat
of punishment.
Congress is. OF course. in no sense
bound to follow data presented by the
board. The reports are not even in
the form OF recommendations. All that
President Taft demands is that tho
reports OF the board be given con.
sideratlon. inasmuch as they repro
sent the best thought on exceedingly
difficult problems.
Talk OF doing away with the board
is small politics The wisest lcgisla-
tors should welcome the assistance OF
men who are by specialized training
better qualified TO handle the intrica.
cies OF the situation.
Two alternatives are possible II is
TO be hoped that the board. without
undue haste, may be able TO present
n report, or at least some preliminary
data, during the present session OF
congress, The second alternative
would be for congress TO enact some
kind Of revision prior TO the boards
report and In spite Of President
raft's threatened veto More thor.
ough revision might come later
The best course for tho house ma.
jority "a 10 urge that the report bo
made as speedily as possible and 10
abandon thought OF punishment II the
request Is not complied with. Even
from purely political standpoint
their position would bo unansailnble

method Of procedure.
