Taft Takes Broad Stand.

As forecast in this column this morning
the President takes a broad economic
stand in connection with the Improvement
of waterways and urges that the water
power generated by dams erected to i'm
prove the waterways which waterpower
he characterizes as potential asset Of
the government" and as "a by-produot'
of river Improvement, should be utilized
sold, IN other words. in order that the
burden on the general taxpayers may be
very much reduced" The President also
takes his stand against granting con-
cessions TO private individuals without
provision for a return 10 the government
proportionate to the benefits conferred.
This also is the occasion OF at least an
noyance TO many Democratic members.
The passage Of bills granting the right to
construct dams has long been a source OF
political capital TO members OF Congress,
and 1t is highly displeasing to Democratic

AFTER EVERY TARIFF ITEM
Will Revise from Agate to
Zinc" Saws Underwood.

Washington, Dec. 6.-"We're going TO
revise the tariff from agate to zinc" said
Representative Underwood at the White
House to-day He said the meeting OF
the Ways and Means Committee sched-
uled for next week would be held merely
to determine when hearings should begin,
when a full opportunity to be heard
would be given to every interest affected.
Mr. Underwood talked with President
Taft, but not about the tariff.
A tentative decision has been reached
by members of the Ways and Means
Committee to end all hearings on the
tariff in the short session of Congress-
and to have ready when the new Congress
meets. in April, practically the entire
scheme OF tariff revision.
Announcement was made that the hear
ings would be wide oren," and that no
interested party who desired to air his
views would be denied While the hear
ings will be wide open." they Will be
hurried, and it is not the intention of the
Democratic tariff thinkers to have long
investigation into the various schedules
The Democrats believe the hearings on
the Payne bill were too protracted.
IL is well understood that no matter
what the hearings may show, the Demo-
Gratis cannot make material changes In
their programme affecting wool, cotton,
chemicals, steel and sugar. The party Is
committed to the tariff measures OF the
last session. and must stand pat on these
bills II it would avoid repetition OF the
charge that they were drawn solely for
political effect.
preliminary meeting of the Ways and
Means Committee will be held next Mon
day. and It is expected announcement will
then be made OF definite plans for begin
ming the hearings on January TO- Present
indications are that the wide open
hearings and the agate TO zinc" revision
will be by no means as painstaking as the
procedure In the House at the time OF
the passage OF the Payne law.

Hot Shot for Democrats.

President Taft sent powerful message
to Congress to-day. This Is emphatcaliy
proclaimed by the Republicans and re-
luctantly admitted by the Democrats. To
the followers of Woodrow Wilson the
Presidents remarks on the philippines
and the Democratic programme came as
a shock. To be told that the Democratic
programme for the Filipinos will be as
cruel to those people as II would De
shameful to US" TO be warned that even
a present declaration Of future indie
pendence would retard the progress OF
the Philippines by the dissension ana
disorder It would arouse" that IL would
he "a disguised policy of scuttle," that II
would make the helpless Filipino the
football of Oriental politics. under the
protection of q guarantee OF independence
which we would be powerless TO enforce
and that mo one to whom the future OF
this people is q responsible concern can
countenance policy frausht with the
direst consequences on those on whose
behalf Il is ostensibly urged" was dis
concerning in the extreme 10 the Demo-
cratic leaders. But 10 be told these
things by a retiring President, who is
recognized the world over as the holest
authority on Philippine affairs and the
one who, more than all others. Is re-
sponsible for the prosperity the islanos
have enjoyed and their progress toward
civilization under the humane American
policy, was sufficient TO make even u
Democrat think. or course, the rank ana
file OF the majority In the House did not
think That is not what they are there
for. But the leaders did. and they OBJ
viously thought seriously, for they are
between the devil and the deep sea. Their
national platform contains plank, cum
ningly inserted by William Jennings
Bryan, to which many do not subscribe.
and now they are face TO face with Dill
carrying that plank into effect. And the
leaders, at least. realize that II is vast
ly different thing TO pirate about anu
imperialism when the Republicans are
assuming the burden of responsibility
and TO undertake to carry such theories
into effect at q time when the Democratic
party will be held responsible II, as they
realize is more than probable, the Demo-
cratic policy makes incalculable trouble
and renders the United States the laugh
ing stock of the world. Furthermore. II
is peculiarly disconcerting TO have this
solemn warning Of President Tart issued
as a part of a message which the Demo-
cratic leaders are wise enough 10 apprc-
ciate contains 30 much that is sound and
wise that It is bound to commend Itself
to the common sense Of the American
people and to stand as a monument OF
Republican doctrine with which Demo
cratic performance is certain TO be COM
pared.
