NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The Evening
World today publishes an interview with
President Taft In which the president
goes at length into some Of the issues
Of the campaign.
The president promises a revision Of
the tariff on a scientific basis, so far
as may be necessary to keep prices from
being exorbitant. This may be done by
the continuance of the tariff boards
investigation into the facts. the president
is quoted as saying.
Mr. Taft then hinted an extra tariff
revision session in case the republicans
are in control of the next congress.
Referring to the high cost OF living,
the president expressed the opinion that
American workmen were very much bet
ter off than those of Europe; not only
were they able to pay the high cost OF
living, he said, but they could also put
something aside for a. rainy day. The
Payne tariff law had no more to do
with advancing the high cost of living
than the latest Atlantic cable he de-
ciared.
Referring to woman suffrage, the pres
ident said that this isuue would have
to be decided by the various states and
that he believed women to be as capable
Of wise use of the ballot as men.
In the matter of recall of judges, the
president said he regarded the main
tenance of an independent Judiciary as
a supreme issue, and that the recall ap-
piled to judges would tend to deprive the
public of judges of ability, character and
a high sense of duty.
The republican national headquarters
declared today that this interview was
, authentic. %...
