Taft and the Woolen Schedule.

An important point in connection
with the Presidents message on the
woolen schedule has escaped attention.
1t is this: Mr.. Taft is giving the peo-
pie discourse on wool instead of
cheaper woolens. Whether the Presi-
dents message, which doesn't tell
Congress any more about the differ
ence in the Gust of production at hon e
and abroad than it knew before will
be accepted by the country as a salts
factory substitute for cheaper and bet
ter clothing, which he promised in his
prediction speeches, and was in a po-
sitiOn to give but fatty refused by We
toing the Underwood-LaFol wool
bill, remains to be seen.
Here are some facts which will aid
the reader to reach conclusion as to
whether the President is now, ever
was or ever will be in good faith with
the public when it comes to interfer-
ing with the profits of the tariff trusts
which makes big campaign contribu-
tions to the Republican party: When
the Payne-Aldrich bill was passed Mr..
Taft said the woolen schedule Uf that
measure was 'indefensible, and that
he would like to see it revised and re-
vised downward. At the extra session
of Congress Democrats and Progress
sive Republicans passed bill reducing
the abnormally high tax on woolens in
sincere and patriotic attempt to
tighten the burden of taxation to the
users of woOlens. Had the president
signed this bill it would have meant
reduction this winter in the price of
woolen clothing of all sorts for men,
women and children also in the prices
of blankets and other forms of wool
en- manufactures needed for warmth
BY the general public.
But the president vetoed this bill
affOrding the very kind of relief he had
declared to be in sympathy with. fore
ing the American people to continue
to pay subsidy IN artificial prices to
the wool industry of approximately
5 co, 900. 900 a year.
The joke is on the public again. The
people asked for cheaper and better
clothing. and all they get, as far as
Mr.. Taft is concerned. is a nicely
worded but useless message; words as
a substitute for relief from the extor-
tionate prices exacted by the tariff
trusts.
The Bourbon news., 1912-01-02
What Tariff Board Proves.

The Taft tariff board exonerates
woolen manufacturers of anything
like taking advantage of high tariff
rates 10 advance prices. The boards
report would make 1t appear that
the woolen trust wouldn't do such a
thing.
But the report isn't altogether use
less. because it proves beyond success
full contradiction
First-That Schedule ''k" is indie
fensible; it proves this conclusively
ard for all time.
Second-It confirms practically ev-
cry charge made against the wooden
schedule by Democrats and Progress
sive Republicans.
Third-It proves that the American
people are victims of extortion from
wool manufacturers.
f'ourth-And that President Taft's
veto of the Observation-Disclosures bill
was against the interests of 10000, 900
consumers of woolens; that it was alb
solutely unjustified. unnecessary, and
thereforel unforgivatle.
Tariff protects trusts only.
Louis d. Brandois. the famous Bos-
ton lawyer. who looks, acts, walks
and talks like Abraham Lincoln, while
testifying before the Senate trust in
vestigating committee, charged how
the trusts received the greatest pro-
lection have destroyed trades union
ism. reduced wages, increased working
hours, and driven Americans cut and

their mills.
He exposed the injustice and futility
of the Tobacco trust settlement, effect.
ed by the United States Supreme
Court, ard said the rule laid down
amounted to this ''What man has
illegally joined together, let No court
put asunder."::
In contrast with the record of the
tariff protected trusts, Mr.. Brandois
presented instances where prices have
been reduced, and wages raised, in in
dustries operated under free competi-
tion. Yet the standpatters would have
the workingmen believe that the
Payne-Aldrich high protection wall
was put up exclusively for their bene-
fit.

UOPE GERHAN LOANS.

The announcement Of another German
imnerial loan and also Of another and
much larger PrusSian loan piques curios-
itv concerning the fiscal policy OF the
empire and its chief state and serves as
q reminder that they are rapidly becom-
inc conspicuous among the most heaNlIy
burdened Of nations. The present i'm
norial loan is only S20.C0OOOO, it is true,
and as it is to be wholly used i'll paying
off floating obligations it will not IN
crease the aggregate Indebtedness OF the
emnire. but will merely transfer that
amount from the unfunded TO the funded
debt Nevertheless it cannot escape no.
tice that the debt of the empire, which
not many years ago was 50 small as 10
he almost negligible is now rapidly as
suming Ominous proportions. Ihree
wears ago it rose considerably above the
billion dollar mark, and two years ago
il exceeded a billion and quarter; a
heavy burden for an empire which is not
notably rich and whose component states
are in great measure still more debt
laden.
Prussia is now borrowing S1Oj,O0O,OOO.
and is making no explanation of the need
or purpose of the loan, save that about
half of il is TO cover a deficit and to pro-
vide new rolling stock for the electrified
tion of the Berlin railroads and that the
remainder Of ii is destined for remu-
nerative purposes" This addition TO the
Prussian debt is the more noteworthy
because that kingdom Is already one or
the most heavily indebted of nations. In
1904 the Prussian debt exceeded 81, 1872
600 600. and by the next year it had risen
TO more than S2,355,000,O0O. Yet 1t Is
no longer possible 10 say. as was once
said. that all the German debt Is carried
by the individual states. They do carry
heavy debts but there is also a heavy
imperial debt resting upon them all III
common. and in both forms the Indebted
ness is Increasing perhaps more rapidly
than that Of any other country in the
world.
Some of the state debts are largely,
perhaps a few exclusively. railroad debts,
incurred IN the purchase or building and
equipment Of railroads, and thus repre-
senting investments which should be
sources Of profit. The significant fact Is,
however, that these keep increasing and
seem likely to continue doing so, sug-
gesting doubts of the economic wisdom Of
system of industrial operations which
calls for constantly. growing investments.

NEW YoRK's QUARANTINE
Some Reasons Why II Should Be
Placed Under Federal Control.
q the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Some reasons why the state quar-
antine at the Port of New York should be-
come a federal institution are. because:
l. Federal control Of Quarantine would
diy orce this important public hearth func-
ton from politics.
.. The Port Of New York is itself an
interstate port: large part Of the shipping
goes direct TO Jersey City. Weehawken and
Hoboken, all of which are In New Jersey
3. The bulk Of the cargo and the majority
OF the immigrants which arrive at New
York are distributed to every state in the
United States.
T. The whole country is protected from
duarantinable diseases by the New York
Quarantine station; therefore the whole
country should bear the expense Of such
protection.
s. Should grave epidemic disease (such
rs plague or cholera) threaten to enter the
Port of New York or any other port, the
federal government could carry to this port
or other threatened port its force OF trained
bacteriologists and trained experts in tropi-
cal diseases. The city or state In order TO
maintain its proper quota Of experts IN bac-
teriology and quarantine in quiet and non
epidemic times Is at a considerable dlsad-
vantage economically and otherwise
g. Under federal control the same regula-
tlons and methods of quarantine would
he in force at the New York Quarantine
as are enforced at other ports. No port
would be Disseminated against by special
privileges. General uniformity would pre-
vail
I. During grave epidemics the federal
government stations medical officers at for
cigr ports to inspect vessels and dsinfect
cargo. so as to prevent the conveying of
disease by these ships TO various ports In
! the United States. Under this rule one
medical officer clothed with proper author
ity az an infected port could issue bills OF
health TO vessels destined for any port TN
the United States. New York State would
no longer be compelled to keep her medical
agents at foreign ports. One federal officer
at an infected foreign port could attend To
the dlsnfection and inspection OF ships for
all the states; i'm other words, for the
! United States.
8. All tho states. with the exception of
Now York and one or two others, have
coded their quarantine work 10 the federal
government These states have recognized
the fact that maritime quarantine is ma
toral affair and can be best administered
