THE TARIFF BOARD,

The tariff board Is being criticised III the house
OF representatives Tor not making some SPECIFIC
recommendations to the autes TO be imposed
Ii 1t had done this 1t would have been found talt
with tor exceeding Its jurisdiction. Congress is
proverblally jealous OF IT'S prerogatives, ana
Of the most important OF these Is 1iXmg the tarit
IL the tariff board has furnished the information
required for intelligent study and discussion OF
the duties to be LEVIED it has done its work well
While the full text of its report is not yet
available, such summaries have been published
staple goods for general consumption, but it does
give the home market to American manufacturers
and the labor they employ In the case OF wooden
goods the tariff levied on raw wool is paid by
the consumer, but the price at the mill does not
approach the foreign price with the cloth duty
added. The margin OF profit made by the mill
owners on staple WOODEN and cotton goods is
smaller than that earned by foreign mills and the
figures available prove that the excuses III selllng
prices at the mills i'll this country over those
abroad go to labor, and, in the ease of wool in
part to the sheep raiser In the OF cheap cot
ton the mill price here is lower than it is abroad
but the cost of distribution through trade chan
nels is greater.
President Taft has been amply justified in ask
ing congress to wait for the reports of the tariff
board, and should he sign the very bill that he
vetoed last year he would not reverse his original
position. He asks congress to enact tariffs on
their merits and then leave them alone so that
business can adjust itself to known conditions

POISONOUS MATCHES.

The house of representatives has passed the
Hughes bill taxing white or yellow phosphorus
matches out of existence, has been done already
in nearly all other civilized countries, and the
bill is now in the hands of the senate. The only
opposition to it ostensibly on the ground that
it nterfered with the police power of the states,
but the point was pressed only by representatives
from districts where small match factories Of
the old kind exist.
Legislation of this kind inficts a hardship on
small manufacturers who perhaps cannot command
capital for new equipment; but it is often neces-
sary that the few should be sacrificed for the
good of the community.
The terrible disease caused by the use of
white or yellow phosphorus cannot be permitted
to claim more victims when it is avoidabe. In
some countries there manufacturers could be re-
compensed for the sacrifices they are forced to
make for the public good, but our system of gov
ernment does not admit of administering real JUS

DEMOCRATS AND THE NAVY.

For the second time this session the house
democrats will caucus on the subject of the navy
AT the caucus held some time ago a proposition
for two new battleships was rejected Economy
was the cry, and economy carried the day, 1t
was voted that Uncle Sam could not stand the
expense
The decision proved unpopular Surprise in
deed, was expressed that party aspiring to full
control of president campaign take such posi-
tioh, not to mention the higher consideration of
providing properly for most important arm Of
the national defense Leading democratic news
papers were prompt in condemning policy which
they described unpatriotic. They declared that
it was neither good politics good economy.
They right The decision should be re-
versed. At least two new battleship should be or
dered The expense, comparatively, is nothing
When the governments obligations are consid-
cred, much larger sum laid out in that way
would be justifed-woud be economy.
Great Importance attaches to the navy, and
great national pride attaches to it. BY all means
it should be kept fit and strong. We must
guide by what the other powers are doing in the
same line; and we know what they are doing.
We must keep up with the procession We cannot
halt it, and cannot afford to bring up the rear.
Our place. in our own behalf, is well to the front

NEVADA SHOULD SEND TAFT DELEGATION.

Although the sentiment among Nevada repub-
leans is overwhelmingly in favor of the renomna-
ton and reelection of President Taft, there
to be disposition in certain quarters to send an
uninstructed delegation from this state to the
tional convention. No sound argument has been
advanced in favor of the proposition nor does it
seem that there can be. Delegates should repre-
sent the sentiment of their constituents and it is
eminently proper for the state convention that
elects them to safe it's wishes in the matter.
An uninsructed delegation might have an OPP
portunty to jockey and obtain personal promises
from the managers of the winning candidate, but
aside from that there is nothing to be gained.
Let the Nevada delegation to the Chicago con-
vention go instructed for Taft and in that manner
fairly represent the wishes of the republicans OF
the state-Silver State.

of several inches and only for the
