Scientific Tariff Revision.

President Taft's tariff revision plan
has received the endorsement of the
national executive committee of the
progressive party which is advocat-
ing a non-partisan commission. The
committee has declared in favor of
"a permanent non-partisan commits
sion on the tariff, with ample power
to find and report the facts, whose
duty it shall be to lay the informa-
ton before congress, without which
congress can not act intelligently, Of
fers the only way of remedying the
abuses that have grown into our tar
if policy.
This was the plan of President
Taft and it is the only logical way OF
dealing with the tariff. For more
than a century congress has pursued
the present policy of making tariffs
without intelligent information from
impartial experts. 1t has consulted
the interests that desired protection
or listened to the theorists that ad-
vocated free trade. 1t has balanced
one method or policy against anoth-
err 1t has sought to suit one section
of the country at the expense OF
another, or has compromised the in
terests of all classes and sections
without wise regard to the welfare
of the people and nation as a whole.
1t has made the tariff the football OF
politics and practiced log-rolling and
deals. It's work invariably has bred
contempt and dissatisfaction.
1t has been demonstrated that re-
vision of the tariff by congress is re-
vision for politics, and that the poll
ticians in congess do not want revi-
sion on the basis of political econ
omy and for the benefit of business
and industry. Business men are sick
of this method. They see that Ger
many and France, both of them be-
levers in protection, construct and
|
business of their manufacturers
merchants and farmers to pieces.
They know that an American com
mission on the tariff, consisting OF
non-political specialists on the econ
omic affairs involved, can readjust
the tariff from time to time as con-
ditions demand without hurting bust
ness They want a permanent com
mission.
The Underwood bill illustrates
again the viciousness of the present
method. 1t has been prepared with
out sufficient hearing of business
men and OF labor. The republicans
in the senate are justified in protest
ing against the inadequacy of the
hearings already had and in demand
ing more.
Their protest and request are alto
gether proper. But the demand for
commission is the solution for the
tariff question. 1t is a suggestion up
on which republicans and progress
sives can unite. Originally it, was a
republican idea and now that the
progressives have adopted the plan
there remains but little difference in
the fundamental principles of the
two parties.-Dubuque Times-Jour-

FARMERS SHOULD HEAR TAY.
LOR.

DIR. w. +. Taylor, a soil expert with
national reputation, will deliver a
tree lecture to the farmers of this
section at the city hall'Tuesday even
ing. He will tell the farmers how to
cultivate the soil SO as to increase its
fertility; how to maintain fertility in
good soil by rotation in crops; and
great many things of interest to
the man on the farm. When we say
that he is man with a national rep
utatlon we mean that he is recognized
as an authority throughout the coun-
try on soil culture. He is practical
farmer; maintains several experiment
farms and is speaker of great force
Mr.. laylor's time is SO much taken UP
that he only devotes few evenings
year to these western states. The
farmers OF this immediate vicinity are
fortunate in securing such man as
DR.. Taylor. We urge them to attend
his Tree lecture. They will be amply
repaid for their time and trouble.

troll OF the next house OF representa-
tives. Progressive sentiment reached
high tide at the last election. 1t Will
soon be at ebb.
We wonder what some Of the Ida
ho politicians will do now that they
have at hand an expression OF the
people. They must know that the
people OF Idaho feel about the same
as the people of Maine. These poll
ticlans had better get in line without
losing any time about it. The Pro-
gresslve party never had any reason

the personal popularity OF one man.

COL. ROOSEVELT STILL THE
ASTUTE POLITICIAN.

Col. Theodore's knowledge of pub
lie opinion is little uncanny. We
believe that he knew weeks ago the
DRIFT of public sentiment and for that
reason found it impossible to attend
the Chicago conference OF the Pro-
gresslve party. If he did not know he
is about the handiest guesser the
world has ever known. The drift OF
public opinion is shown by the spe-
cials congressional election in Maine
Monday. The Republican candidate
received 1890 votes; the Democratic
candidate 1853; the Progressive
6.4S7. At the last general election the
vote for president was: Wilson, a.
o92; Roosevelt 1926; Taft, 1859.
Evidently the Republicans have gain
ed nearly seven thousand votes in
one Congressional district and the
Progressives have lost as many. This
is one of the first elections since the
last general election which indicates
the present public sentiment. If the
same conditions prevail throughout
the country it is not impossible that
the Republican party will be in con-

THE PARDON OF ORCHARD.

The efforts being put forth by an
eastern church organization to secure
a pardon for Harry Orchard are en-
tirely misdirected. They undoubted-
ly arise from good intentions, in the
full belief that Harry Orchard has
made all earthly retribution that he
can for his many crimes. Even
though he has, pardon from the pen
4. itentlary is in no wise justihable.
The state is keeping Orchard in the
penltentiary not SO much to punish
ham as to protect society. Hanging
would have been small punisbm ent in
the first place. Since the sentence OF
death was committed to life imprison-
ment the state owes it to society in
general that he be kept where he can
commit no more crimes. We can ad-
init that his reformation is complete
and that he has an honest intention
OF henceforth living an upright, law
abiding life, but we can take no
chances on such a man. In the past
murder was his occupation and Incl
dental to making living he hesitated
at no crime. He was willing tool,
according to his. own confession, of
men who murdered simply Tor re-
venge. For fear that he might again
become a tool of these same men we
should keep him out Of temptation.
Re- Harry Orchard says that is reform
ed. Every confined criminal in the
country would say as much for liber-
ty. During his incarceration he con-
Quoted himself as model prisoner.
All do who expect to lawfully regain
their freedom. Orchard was a des-
perate, dangerous man. The habits
OF years are not so easily overcome.
AT any rate the state should take no
chances.

EVERY GAIN IS A LOSS.

The telephone business according
to the representatives OF telephone
companies, is business different
from all Others. According to these
representatives the more telephones
IN operation the less money the COM
pany makes. Notwithstanding that
prices have been raised throughout
the state and all competition has been
eliminated it is publicly stated tina,
the Mountain State Telephone & Tel
egraph Co. is now operating at loss.
Every additional telephone raises the
cost OF operation of every other tele-
phone. We do not know whether this
is really true or whether telephone
representatives are simply playing
with the people.
The farmers in and around Middle
ton have taken up the question OF
telephone rates and service with the
state public utilities commission and
an investigation will be made. We
are glad that the farmers have taken
this course. We like to see farmers
avail themselves Of the opportunities
they have. The sentiment in favor
OF the creation Of the state commits
sion was stronger in the country
than it was in the towns although as
a matter Of fact the towns had more
to contend with from public service
corporations. If the state commits
sion will thoroughly investigate tele-
phone conditions with the sole idea
OF dealing rightly with both the users
and the company its decision will
bring forth little criticism whatever
it may be. However the presumption
in such cases should be in favor OF the
people. The commission was created
tor the purpose OF protecting the
public against poor service and ex-
cessive rates, and at all times it should
keep in mind its duty to the public.
The public utilities commission
should be more in the nature of an
attorney for the people than court
for the trial OF cases.

That the Republicans are enabled
to gather encouragement out of ar
election that gave their candidate a
bare plurality Of about 500 in a district
formerly Republican by more thous-
ands, shows afresh the bedraggled

ty.-Capital News.
The Republicans haven't thing on

gets a grain of comfort out OF the
fact that the Progressives only lost
So per cent of their members in less
than a year. We wonder what per
cent they expected to lose.

thought he would take another chance

Informed as to his present views OF
the laws and statutes of the state of
Idaho, but if he thinks they could, yet
be improved he will in all likelihood

a class do not take an active part in
politics but when one of them does
he usually makes things move.

Original lnveterate Smoker.

The commercial traveller leaned
back In the corner OF the Pullman
smoking compartment
you've all heard men say, Yes,
I'm an inveterate smoker; smoke all
the time except when I'm asleep.
Well, l ran across.a man last summer
that's got them all beaten; he smoked
even when he was asleep.
HE was an Italian workman and
he was riding on the trolley that runs
from Saratoga to Glens Falls He had
a pipe In his mouth and his eyes were
shut. At regular intervals a puff of
smoke would come from between his
lips
II began to watch him, wondering II
he really was smoking in his sleep.
A few minutes and my answer came
in the shape of good, hearty snore
After that it was-puff, snore: :
puff. snore; puff, snore-until his pipe
went out. Then he woke up, filled his
pipe, lighted it, and once more-puff,
snore; puff, snore-until the conduc-
tor woke him up at Glens Falls"
