Tar1n hy Communion.

Much is being made in certain quarters OF a
resolution adopted by the Mississippi Valley
Trade conference at Memphis In favor OF a noa-
partisan tariff commission as the best medium
for the making OF our tariff laws. Business
men composing this conference we're convinced
that this would work great improvement over
the old system OF congressional tariff tinkering
And perhaps II would---at least there is much 70
be said for the plan. Just there is against the
present method. which invites and fosters ia
voritism and log-rolling.
But Is II not little strange to jump at a tariff
commission now as II II were something new?
The fact is. but for petty politics on the part
too. OF some notable self proclaimed defenders
OF the flag and savers of the country. we might
before this have had nonpartisan board with
much more wholesome tariff law than now
encumbers the statute books. II is still fresh
in mind that President Taft tried TO urge this
very plan onto an unsgmpathetic congress. BY
speech ana message he iterated and reiterated
the wisdom and advantages as he saw them in
the nonpartisan tariff board idea denouncing
tariff revision with blacksmith tools" or by
any other than a scientific process And he
later did his best at that time to put his ideas
into action. But he found the country. at least
its honorable representatives In congress un-
prepared for this forward step.
Our old system OF omnibus tariff making Is
the very thing that has thus far precluded the
scientific method. But with sufficient pressure
from such sources as the one represented at
Memphis the tariff board idea may be pushed
through before LONG.

tn. viaduct Victory.

The decision of the United states supreme
court upholding the right Of the City Of Omaha
to compel the Missouri Pacific 20 erect a VIA
duct at its Dodge street crossing is notable
victory for the people. The strange thing about
II is that a railroad should in this day question
and combat the public's authority to require II
20 make a safe thoroughfare over its crossings.
So far as Omaha is concerned, the city
fought this question out years ago when II went
up to the supreme court in the matter OF depot
viaducts, and won out Internationally. Not
withstandlng all this, Omaha has not been OPP
pressive OF oyer-exacting on it's railroads in de-
handing viaduct construction except where alb
solutely needed to safeguard traffic. Every
railroad man knows that the grade crossing Is
a death trap, and that its continuance within
thickly populated areas is by federation only.
The Dodge street viaduct has long been over
due; the growth of the city will likewise force
several others before long.

Taking stock Of Our Army and Navy.

II IL most unfortunate that Congressman
Gardner should have attacked Germany or any
other beIligerent. In urging the house to adopt
his resolution calling for an Investigation OF
our military resources, for the president in
Inmates, undue importance Is sure to attach TO
the structure II the investigation is made. The
president further objects to the inventory on
the ground that this is no time TO agitate the
question of our preparedness for war Elk
pressing the hope--which all Americans share
that our nation may play an important part
in ending the present war, he and his advisers
are said to believe suggestions for peace would
come with bad grace from country in the
throes OF discussion OF possible war;
Indeed. but even in view OF the unfortunate
oyer-zealous championship of this resolution.
why should an investigation OF our military
powers be construed to be agitation OF possible
war9 Has not the president approved secre-
tary Daniels plan for an investigation OF our
naval efficiency Why is that any less objec-
tionable or offensive than the proposed inquiry
into the efficiency OF our land forces? With
the showing OF a shortage OF $4,000 men In the
navy, together with paucity OF line and tor
pedo officers II certainly will not be argued
that we should defer a complete Investigation
OF navy conditions for fear Of a wrong imputa-
ton OF our motive. Though maintaining a COM
paratively small navy, all agree that we have
not enough men to man II and corresponding
deficiencies are said to exist in the army. While
no one wants TO embarrass the president as the
potential peacemaker still II seems far-fetched
to ask us to waive our right to take stock any
time desired. or course. IL the president puts

Their power should be supreme and the
governing bodies OF their respective coun-

The second step would be in creating a
world navy composed OF one ship from
