WHERE TARIFF FAILS
Democratic Tinkering a Blunder,
as Usual.
Refusal to Listen to Experts, az Advo.
Gated by President TAFT. Was Poor
Policy - Revenues Reduced
Without Corresponding
Benefit

Scorning to hear experts, the Demo
Gratis in committee tinkered a tariff !;
by some occult method scaling the
rates. The president then pronounced
the tariff as very good and labeled
It a competitive tariff, by which he ex-
planned 1t was tariff that opened
the doors for competition by the for
eign manufacturers and would place
the American manufacturers upon
their mettle
Two things the Democrats who con-
head failed to take note of-Ameri-
can business system and American In
venuve genius. These two factors
had already conquered Great Britain
and the continent for at least one i'm
portant class of industry. So that the
textile manufacturers are entirely
happy, the tariff law having utterly
failed to give comfort to the English
and German trade agents who came
here to spy out the new land OF op-
portunity
So far from opening America to
the competition Of European textiles,
except. perhaps. in some of the higher
grades OF silks, the fact is disclosed
that the textile men are preparing to
set up factories In England and upon
the continent to show that the supe-
riorfty of American textile machinery
and American business system quite
set at nought the effects OF the tariff
reduction and leave these American
industries invincible. So that SO far
from being reduced to life and death
struggle. in which fresh economies
and inventions should be relied upon
to save them from expiring in the
slough OF despond, the textile men are
doing even-handed work in extending
their fields of enterprise with no more
Ill effects from the tariff reduction
than an elephant feels from a gnat
bite. AS time goes on the story of
the failure of the tariff may be illus
trated from the experience of other
Industries.
AS to the domestic effects of reduc-
ton of revenue without corresponding
benefits, that is another chapter and
one that will be written over largely
by public condemnation of Democratic
tariff revision that secuted the Taft
plan for scientific adjustment of the
schedules.

aioht Way to Recall Decisions.

New York is planning for a conven-
ton this year to revise its constitu-
ton. That document itself directs
that it shall be periodically revised, SO
that 1t may reflect the changing senti-
ment of the state.
This plan was agreed upon long be-
fore any politicians began to talk Of
recall OF judicial decisions. and with
no intent of rebuking the courts for
interpreting the written document ac-
cording to its provisions. New York
has pursued this policy for decades,
and when the people of the state have
discovered that the constitution does
not represent their will. they have
amended it without waiting for a con-
stitutional convention. They have
such respect for their courts that
when they do not like a decision they
recall the law on which the decision
is based. That Is what they are about
to do now. 1t is a much saner method
to obtain justice and maintain respect
for law than the Rooseveltian method

Furnish Road Drags to Farmers.

Denver.-State Highway Commfs-
sioner T. ]. Ehrhart announced that
the state will pay half the cost or
split log drage to all counties which
will furnish these drags free to farm
ers and others pledging themselves to
use the same on their roads. This
action followed the strong impression
made on the highway commission by
the D. Ward King method Of road
building, as demonstrated at the King
road rallies held at Castle Rock, Lit
Teton, Golden. Denver, Brighton,
Loveland. Greeley, Fort Morgan, Fort
Collins and Cheyenne. Governor Am
mons was a regular attendant at the
meetings and enthusiastically endorses
the system. Hundreds Of farmers
have already pledged themselves to
use the drags, and as a result it is
predicted that the roads in this sec
tion of the state will be rapidly revo-
lutionized, just as this Missouri farm
er's method transformed dirt roads OF
Iowa and dozen other states at prac-
tieally no expense.
