UNDERwOoD's
BOLD PROGRAM
Good Politics and Policy

The Underwood program contemplates
sane reductions, not revolutionary, but
framed so as to tighten the burden
or the tariff without giving too violent
a shock to important national interests.
This is a sensible program.
1t is good political strategy and sound
economics. Moreover, it is practical.
If such program should be passed
and vetoed by the President, Mr.. Taft
and the Republican party will have to
face an angry nation with a third be-
trayal charged against them.
If Taft should approve II, his pre-
vious attitude and previous vetoes win
leave all the credit for tariff reforms
to the Democratic party, and viii enable
him to recover none of the advantage
he has lost.
The failure of the tariff commission
has deprived the President of even q
legitimate excuse for further vetoes, and
gives the Democrats ample reason for
going ahead without waiting years for
more reports of the same kind.-Ne1v

cry (Alabama) Advertiser, Jan. 5. 1912

PLAIN WORDS ON Bio
QUESTIONS

Extracts from interview of Os-
car w. Underwood, reported in
Staff Correspondence of the
NeIV York World, Editorial
Section, December 8, l91L)
There has been no attempt on
the part of the manufacturers to
give labor its share of the benefits
derived from the tariff They
have kept all the profits"
To protect profits is to protect
inefhciency and to strangulate
rather than to develop industry"
II prefer to lower the tariff wall
by taking bricks off the top of the
wall rather than by dynamiting
the structure at the bottom"
The people have lost faith in
the Republican party because it
has not kept faith with them"
IF it (the Sherman Act) is en-
forced as a criminal statute II is
an efficient instrument for pre-
venting and furnishing monopoly
and restraint of trade"

reciprocity legislation, to which the
Democrats were favorable, the House
was Democrats mainly because of the
dissatisfaction of the people with the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law, the election
that made the House Democratic being
the first opportunity the people had to
express that dissatisfaction tangibly.
The Democrats had a majority of
nearly seventy. They had not had pos
session of the House for sixteen years.
They were politically hungry and polit-
ically thirsty. They needed sustenance.
They thought they had a chance to elect
a president in 1912 and get full swing
at all the perquisites and prerogatives
of the Government; and each man OF
the two hundred and twenty-eight Dem
ocrats was full of schemes for making
this chance certainty. They were all
anxious to revise the tariff in order to
keep faith with the people, but they had
many plans for revision and many
shades of opinion as to how it should
be revised. They felt their power and
Importance. They were eager, avid, en-.
thusiastic and none too prudent.

HIS WIFE A REAL HELPnEET

Mr.. Underwood has been helped and
assisted by his wife. She is proud Of
him and has faith in his future. She
takes the utmost interest in his work
and his ambitions. She assumes full
control of the domestic establishment
and leaves him free from care and con-
Ycern. 1t is rumored that she even
lays out his clothes for him and ties
his cravat. She seeks to aid him Ia his
studies and work of research. She Is
bright, well educated, vivacious and full
OF life, Not beautiful, but attractive,
wholesome and companionable. No
wonder is expressed that Mr.. Under
woods forehead and face are free from
wrinkles. All the turbulence and nerve
suicide connected with handling a fat
are removed from him.-NeaV York
