THEY WANT NEW TARIFF IDEAS
HOUSE COMMITTEE WOULD LIKE
SUGGESTION FROM PUBLIC.
Ways and Means Committee to Open
Doors for Discussion of Rates
Ne Program Yet.

Washington.-The first stage in the
program for downward revision of the.
tariff, promised by the Democratic
party, will be entered upon when the
house of representatives, through its
committee on ways and means, will
open the doors to the American pub
lie for the discussion of tariff rates..
protection to industries and conceS-
sions to the ultimate consumer
The work will be preparatory to the
first change of tariff duties since 1909,
when the Payne-Aldrich Law was en-
acted by Republican Congress and
approved by a Republican president.
Fortified by the election of Demo
cratic president and congress, the
adoption of a tariff reduction plank
at the Baltimore convention and the
procurement of President-elect Will
son that tariff revision is to be the
first big achievement of the new ad-
ministration, Democratic leaders will
open the hearings confident that they
will lead to an early change in many,
if not all, of the schedules of the
existing tariff law.
The method of the approaching re-
vision, and the extent of the changes
to be made in the present duties, are
points not settled by the Democratic
leaders in congress and president
elect Wilson.
1t is known that reduced duties on
chemical, metal, cotton and wooden
goods will follow closely the standard
fixed by the bills which have passed
the Democratic house in the last two
years, none of which has become law.
The facts to be brought out at the
public hearings this month and the
conferences to follow between Pres
ident Wilson and the house and sem
ate leaders may, however, result in
important notifications of the big re-
auctions the house has put into some
of the bills of the last two years.

Mrs. Moss said not a word as the
comely milliner displayed one beau
tfful bonnet after another. 1t was the
first time Mr.. Moss had ever been in
a millinery store, but he appeared to
be at ease, and finally selected one OF

congressman. How much is it,"
Forty dollars" said the pretty girl
without even a blink

GOV. HADLEY URGES REFORMS
MISSOURI EXECUTIVE SENDS FL
NAL MESSAGE TO LEGISLATURE.
A State income Tax Recommended
and Home Rule for the Larger
Cities Favored.

Jefferson City, Mo.-Governor Her
bert S. Hadley of Missouri, in his
final message to the legislature, rec
commended a state income tax, which
would make possible a reduction in
the general property tax
The governor also urges home rule
for the three large cities of the state,
with the proviso that police and ex-
else officials be subject to removal by
the governor. Quoting directly from
the message:
There is no more important prob
lem of government before the Ameri-
can people than the problem of the
government of the cities, and if this
problem is ever to be satisfactorily
solved, the people of the large cities
must provide good government for
themselves, rather than have it pro-
vided fer them by some outside au-
thority.'
The Australian ballot and a reduc-
ton in the number of elective officers
is urged, as is the Oregon plan of
electing United States senator's.
The governor gives great deal of
attention to corporation matters, say
ing that if party pledges for the ere
alton of public service corporation
commission are carried out, there will
be less need than formerly for laws
regulating railroads.
The governor recommends the es-
Establishment of state tuberculosis
commission, a tuberculosis hospital at
the state penitentiary, and a law re-
curing all dairy COWS to be inspect
ed before their milk is sold
Regarding the commission form of
government the message says:
1.-The conduct of municipal affairs
IS more a matter of business manage
ment than of anything else. The ex-
perience of other states that have
provided for the commission form of
government leaves no room for doubt
as to the advisability of an act giving
authority to the cities of this state
to provide this form of government
in place of the present antiquated,
inefficient system
