THE.TARTFF BOARD .

Secuted IS impracticable ami Wis
ionary By democrats and progress
sIveas in congress. President Taft's
plan Of ! scientific revision" Of the
tariff was opposed vigorously from
the day 4 was suggested until a week
ago. says the Kansas City Journal.
For years the tariff has been merely
pgsIfical partisan issue. Not ono
man "a s hundred knew Or knows to-
day anything about the tariff save
and except that one party favors one
system Of tariff and another party
opposes It. AS a republican, Presi-
dent Taft was committed to protec-
tive policy. but he was not mere
blind follower Of party tradition. He
expressed publicly his own misgiv-
ings on the tariff question and said
he believed the tariff was a problem
that must be worked out on scien-
tific basis without regard to political
prejudice.
The tariff board was the expression
of an honest effort on the part Of
President Taft to gain some unbiased
information as to the conditions Of
production in this country He want
ed to know just how far we could go
in reducing tariffs upon products and
manufactured articles without jeop-
ardizing living wages for the Ameri-
can workman and the profits Of the
American farmer. But instead OF CO..
operating in this patriotic plan, the
democrats and ''progresslves" Of con-
gresa proceeded to put Taft In a
hole" by passing a ridiculous tariff
reduction .zneasure which the presi'
dent was bound in all fairness and
honesty to veto. That was the only
purpose Of the last tariff reduction

would become law and the presi
