Miss Josephine WeIch decided some
time ago that she simply had to have
Mayor Rolph as her campaign man

methods so shy. difident and busy a

The whole story is told in the pic

Welch simply subpenaed him, and the
whole weight of the law is behind
her through its strong right arm, the
sheriff of the county of San Fran

Sheriff Eggers declares that Miss

county in good cause, he would have

RoLPH GLAD no TAKE JOB
Did Mayor RoIph get the Geary

that San Francisco is to have new
city hall? These achievements will
pale into insignificance beside the
work of rolling up votes so that Miss
Welch may take trip through the

Immediate Effects of Tariff Revision.

Four years ago, as the Payne-Al-
drich tariff was about to go into ef-
feet, the custom-house Of New York
through which two-thrds of the coun-
try's imports are entered, was be-
eyed by a frantic mob Of customs
brokers, importers, and representa-
direct their raw materials, anxious to
enter their goods before the mid
night hour, when the new tariff rares
were to go into effect. Ships laden
with goods to the bursting-pOin were
Straining every nerve in a mad race
across the Atlantic to get into port be-
fore the fatal hour; their captains
with declarations in hand, were met
by anxious owners Of imported mer-
| chandlse at the enrance to the har-
Dor, taken on swift harbor craft, and
rushed to the custom house to get
the entry registered in time to secure
the benefit of the old Dingley rates
the very rates which American people
had found too high, and for the down.
we..d revision of which they had given
mandate to President Taft and the
Republican party few short months
before. This mad scramble to get in
under the old rates furnished the most
telling ocular refutation of the So
phisticated claims of the authors of
the Payne-Aldrich act that the new
law was a revision downward.
The travail Of producing the new
tariff this year has been marked by
striking contrast to what occurred
four years ago; no frantic crowds try
ing to break into the custom house;
no racing of ships across the ocean;
no burning Of midnight oil at the GUS
tom house to accommodate desperate
merchants. Instead, everybody hold
ing imports down to the level of inn
mediate needs; goods either held back
on the other side or stored in bond
ed warehouses waiting to be released
after the tariff was to go into effect
Hence a decline in imports at the
port Of New York during the three
months of June, July and August of
twenty-one million dollars as COM
pared with the imports for the same
months last year in the face of a nor
NAL increase of imports from year to
year. Hence also an increase III the
value Of merchandise stored in bond
ed warehouses on the eve of the en-
actment Of the new law (to avoid pay
ment of duty until released for con-
sumptiOn) of twenty million dollars
over the same period last year, thus
making total decline of imports for
consumption for three months of SAL
