at is clear to the whole country that
the tariff duties must be altered. They
must be changed to meet the radical
alteration in the conditions of our eco
nomic life which the country has wit
messed within the last generation.
While the whole face and method of
our industrial and commercial life
were being changed beyond recogni-
ton the tariff schedules have remain
ed what they were before the change
began, or have moved in the direction
they were given when no large cir
cumstance of our industrial develop
ment was what it is to-day.
Fix the Tariff and Business Will
Thrive.
Our task is to square them with
the actual facts. The sooner that is
done the sooner We shall escape from
suffering from the facts and the soon
er our men of business will be free to
thrive by the law of nature (the ma
ture of free business) instead of by
the law of legislation and artificial ar
rangement.
I'VE have seen tariff legislation
wander very far afield in our day
very far indeed from the field in which
our prosperity might have had a nd1
NAL growth and stimulation No one
who looks the facts squarely in the
face or knows anything that lies be
meath the surface of action can fail to
perceive the principles upon which re.
cent tariff legislation has been based
We long ago passed beyond the
modest notion of protecting the in.
custries of the country and moved
boldly forward to the idea that they
were entitled to the direct Patronage
OF the government. For long time
time so long that the men now active
in public policy hardly remember the
conditions that preceded tive have
sought in our tariff schedules to give
each group of manufacturers or pro-
ducers what they themselves thought
that they needed in order to maintain
practically exclusive market as
against the rest of the world.
Privilege Must Give Way to Free
Business.
Consciously or uneonsciously, we
have built up set of privileges and
exemptions from competition behind
which it was easy by any, eves the
crudest, forms of combination to or
ganize monopoly; until at last moth
ing is normal, nothing is obliged to
stand the tests of efficiency and econ
omy, in our world of big business, but
everything thrives by concerted ar
rangement. Only new principles of
action will save US from final hard
specialization of monopoly and COM
plete loss of the influences that quick
en- enterprise and keep independent
energy alive.
1T is plain what those principles
must be. We must abolish everything
that bears even the semblance of priv
ilege or of any kind of artificial adyan-
tage, and put our business men and
producers under the stimulation Of a
constant necessity to be efficient, eco
nomical ard enterprising masters OF

was clad in correct racing costume,

his ugliest information.

businesslike under the undeserved re-

The other men glanced significantly
at one another.

MINERAL RIGHTS
OF n. P. TAXABLE.
STATE SUPREME COURT Up.
HOLDS DECISION IN PARK
COUNTY TEST CASE.

HELENA, MONTANA, Nov. 26.-
The right of the state to assess and
tax the mineral rights reserved by
the Northern Pacific in the sale Of ito
lands in Montana was upheld this
afternoon by the supreme court in an
oral decision.
Because Of the urgency Of the mat
ter. taxes becoming delinquent Dec. /,
the court announced the decision oral
ly today. Later it will be delivered il
written form.
Several years ago Attorney General
Albert J. Galen rendered an opinion
holding that when the Northern Pacine
inserted clauses in its deeds reservine
to itself the oil and mineral that might
be found on such lands. such rights
were taxable. A little later Mr.. o.
len reversed himself and held such
rights were not taxable.
When Attorney General D. NJ. Kelly
came into Office the same question was
presented and he held the mineral
rights should be assessed. It was
then decided to test the question n
the courts and the assessor Of Park
county proceeded to assess such
rights. The Northern Pacific asked
for an injunction to restarin the coun-
ty treasurer from levying taxes on
these rights. The district court do.
MED the application and the case wao
carried to the supreme court.
Attorneys for the Northern Pacific
stated they will not know whether the
case will be carried to the supreme
court of the United States until they
read the decision.
