By CHARLES D. HILLEs.
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee.

Chairman of the Republican National
Committee.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10 have been
asked why the president did not veto
the Payne tariff bill.
President Taft signed the Payne tar
lff bill because he believed that 1t would
lower tariff tolls, because he believed
that with the antiquated system Of
framing tariff bills, with no informa-
ton other than that x-parte testi-
mony which is presented to the tariff
committees of congress, he could OBJ
tain no better measure from congress,
and because the Payne tariff bill made
provision for machinery which would
insure adequate information on which
to base all subsequent revisions Con-
gress had been trying to do its work
without the proper tools. The Payne
bill provided the tools.
Mr.. Taft pronounced It the best tar
iff bill the party had ever passed" be-
cause it contained provision for the ere
alton OF the tariff board, because it
made provision for a maximum and
minimum tariff which would enable him
to compel foreign nations to grant fair
treatment to American goods; because
it imposed a tax on corporations which
would yield net revenue Of S25, 900, 600
annually and subject their affairs to
more thorough Federal scrutiny than
had ever been possible before; because,
although some Of the duties imposed
were in his Judgment, far too high, in a
far greater number of instances mate
rial reductions of the duties were en-
bodied in it's provisions, and because
his.veto OF the meas sure would have left
the Dingley law in full force.
Tariff Experts" Questioned.
Throughout the special session which
President Taft called to revise the tar
if he sought definite information re-
garding the various industries affected.
He wished to know whether existing
duties were too high, or too low, and,
if either, what change should be made,
Men who had long posed as tariff eX-
perts were called to the white house
and questioned regarding this industry
and that, this rate and that only to
reveal that they were not thoroughly
informed about the relation Of the rates
to the needs OF the industries it was
sought to protect. Senators and repre-
sentatives of long experience would de-
clare that a given rate was far too
low Others with equally long expe-
rience and equal reputation as experts,
would assert it was far too high. When
asked TO produce proof, each faction
ruIIlG only quote thc testimony 81 soma
OK parte witnesses. As a result, Mr..

BREAKS HIS LEG TO

ST LOUIS, Aug. 1O.-When John
Moran was called for trial on a peace
disturbance charge in Justice Lambs
court at University City 1t was reported
by a messenger that he could not ap-
pear, as he had broken his leg.
The sympathetic Judge sent Police
man Walsh to Moran's home to inquire
as to his condition. He found Moran
seated at the window, apparently in
good health.

Walsh.

It's out in the woodshed. Go and
look at it." said Moran.
Walsh found the wooden leg in the
woodshed. He mended it with a piece
Of scantling taken from Morans fence
and forced Moran to put 1t on and &C
company him to court, where Judge
Lamb fined him $40.

POPUL|STS HEAR
!. CALL Of MOOSE
Peoples Party May IndorSe
Roosevelt and OiSband Ma
tionaI Convention.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-The Peoples
Party, better known as the PopuIists,
who meet in national convention in St.
Louis next week may indorse Theo-
dore Roosevelt and the Progressive
cause and disband as a separate or
ganization.
This plan was suggested as the pos
sible action of the cosvention by James
H. Ferris, of Joliet H.. chairman Of the
Populist national committee. Ferris,
an editor, has devoted considerable
space in his newspaper recently to
commencing the Progressive party.
The amalgamation. If it should come
about, would probably only come after
a sharp clash in the convention. &C
cording to many Western members Of
the party. Steam roller methods and
bossism are likely to be charged, 1t is
asserted, For. some of the Westeners
say, Roosevelt men have packed the
delegati tons with the colonies follow
ers in the Eastern states. 1t Is likely
that their right to sit in the convention
will be questioned

had required a prolonged fight Ths
second time that fight might not be
won. And as 1 have said, that pro-
vision alone was in the estimation Of
the president, the great merit Of the
Payne bill.
The wisdom Of the presid ent's view
from an economic. IL not from po-
litical standpoint-Is shown by thu
thorough, accurate and convincing re-
ports which the tariff board has made
on every industry it has had time to
investigate. That the Democrats in
their folly have failed to avail them
selves Of the authoritative information
secured by the tariff board is merely
reflection on the Intelligence Of the
Democrats. It is in no sense an i'm
parchment of the information gained,
the accuracy of which no man OF con-
sequence in either party has cared to
assail.
The success Of the maximum and
minimum tariff provision OF the Payne
tariff bill has been all but lost sight
Of Under its provisions the president
was enabled, through the department
of state. to compel the removal OF nu-
merous restrictions against American
products. both Of the factory and Of the
farm, with the result that American
exports promptly jumped from sixteen
hundred millions in 1909 to two thou
sand millions in 1911. an increase OF
$500, 900, 900. Other nations had long
appreciated the benefits to be derived
from dual tariff system. Some Amer
lean statesmen had advocated such
system but none had had the oppor-
tunity, or the force, to secure its adop-
ton. This was a starting point from
which to argue the advantages of the
policy, and to the logical andsconvinc-
ing arguments of Mr. Taft was due its
adoption.
1t has often been said that had Pres
ident Taft vetoed the Payne tariff bill
he would have won the appreciation Of
the American people and have insured
his own reelection. Possibly it would.
Certain it is that view was urged upon
him But he dismissed II as unworthy
of consideration. He was not admins
tering the duties of his high Office with
a view of augmenting his personal pop
ularity or Of promoting his political
welfare. He was doing his duty as he
saw it, and those who take the trouble
to study the effects of his approval of
the PAYNE bill must be convinced that
he acted wisely from the standpoint Of
the nations welfare, even if not from
his own.

One Man Party,
Says LaFollette

MADISON, WIS. Aus. 10 Senator
LaFollette, in LaFollette's Magazine.
today opens his fight on the Progress
sive party and Theodore Roosevelt. He
declares the Progressive party is a one
man party. The editorial says;
The last thing to be tolerated of a
new political party, protesting to stand
for progress, is to bark back to boss
and machine rule through threats and
coercion of candidates for office. And
yet Roosevelt threatens to beat sena-
tors, congressman, governors. sheriffs
and coroners unless they declare for
him.
If Cannon and Mckinley, fright
ened at the sight of the big stick. should
promise to come out for the Roosevelt
party they would have no Progressive
opponents in their district On the 9TH
err hand, Hadley of Missouri, and Bo-
rah Of Idaho, neither of whom will go
into the Roosevelt party are to be pun
ished by having Roosevelt tickets put
up against them in their states.

RABIES ROBBED
Of ITS TERRORS
Free Treatment by States Ex-
pertS Reduces Hydrophobia
Deaths to Minimum.

Deaths from hydrophobia in Georgia
have been reduced to a minimum
through the campaign of education and
the free Pasteur treatment of the state
board of health, despite the fact that
rabies has been a constantly growing
disease among animals throughout the
South.
So rarely have there been losses after
treatment at the state institute that
the disease has been robbed of the dread
it once possessed. According to fig
ures given out by the board, more than
l 500 cases have been treated since the
institute was established three years
ago, and there has been no loss of life
except in. rare cases when the disease
was far advanced before the patient
was given treatment.
Local physicians throughout the state
have been taught to ship to the institute
in Atlanta the head of any animal which
had bitten a human and suspected of
madness. Examination has shown that
20 per cent of these were afflicted with
rabies
The person bitten is then sent to
Atlanta, where absolutely free treat
ment is given, or on application can
have the treatment mailed, to be ad-
ministered by local physician.
Twenty injections of hydropho-
bia virus administered daily is the full
treatment and a cure is considered
practically certain.

the city limits also ordinances regu-
