TARIFF AND POLITICS

The Tariff commission phantom again makes appearance. This
time Republican Leader Mann is its sponsor. He offers a bill for a
commission of five members. with the purpose of" taking the tariff our
OF politics" 1t is an iridescent dream. Tariff and politics fave been
inscparable Stree this republic wa founded, and are likely to remain
So. There have been Tariff commissions before, none of which were
taken seriously.
The Tariff commission of 1882. composed OF zine members, every
II OF whom, including the Democrats, a a prOtectionist, reported
in favor Of an average tariff reduction OF 20 per cent a Republican
congress promptly chucked the recommendation into the waste basket
and passed a bill which did not reduce duties more than 4 per cen on
an average.
Mr.. Nam has had personal experience OF the fuulty of tariff co@a-
missions. He a chairman of the special committee OF the house ap-
pointed Ito investigate the wood pulp and paper duties a few years ago.
The committee reported in favor OF a s. rateo On paper and free mechan-
battle-ground pulp Again a Republican. congress ignored the recon-
mendation OF its own commission, and instead OF lowering the duty in
accordance with the Mann committees report. raised it to almost
double the amount recommended as answering all the requirements Of
protection.
The proposed Tariff commission of five would be bound up III
politics by its very inception Either it would be unfairly packed Or
some OF its members would be Democrats and some Republicans; some
low tariff believers and some high tariff advocates The result OF their
deliberations, however sincere, could then be nothing mor than a
compromise, or the filing OF two conflicting reports. In what respect
would such a result be an advantage the consideration given the
tariff by a politically divided Ways and Means committee and congress?

MAY ABANDON PRIMARIES

Oregon, which is among the Eost progressive states in the Union
in matters OF government, is discu sing the abandonment Of the direct
a measure to be introduced at the session Of the Oregon leglsla-
tue which will soon open will provide for the change, out if it al be
passed is another matter. In Oregon as i'll California the direct primary
has been criticised because OF the expense it entails. Under the pro-
posed law the election vii. take place att the primary.
That the direct law in California is cumbersome and fails to bring
about all the results which were expected can OF be doubted, states the
Sacramento Union. Already there is a pronounced demand fol a re
vision of the systemL This demand vas heard during the campaign from
those who advocated the return to the old convention system and boss
politics and from those who argued only for notifications which would
simplify the law and reduce the costs OF campaigning.
1t is certain that at the coming session of the California Legislature
no change in the primary system should be contemplated which tends to
a return to tie old boss methods Of doing p hucs.
The notifications OF the primary law should look to the snpihca-
ton Of the measure and if possible a reduction OF the costs Of election.
Oregon has led the way i'll many governmental matters and it is
possible that W e shall be able to profit by the experiments of our north
ern neighbour.

WOODROW WILSON AND 1916

The Washington correspondent of the Sun is authority for the
assertion that "the opposition within the Democratic party to the 1e-
nomination of President Wilson appears to be crystalizng around
Champ Clark"
This may be true, but we douot if Champ Clark regards such sup
port as hatterng or important We doubt still further whether he is
ambitious to play James G.. Blaine to Woodrow Wilson's Benjamin liar-
rison. The role would hardly appeal to him.
Ritter all, who compose this opposition to the presidents renomn-
alton? Murphy and Tammany hall, of course William R. Hearst Il
course. The Democratic job-mongers in the United States senate, per
haps Southern Democrats like Cole Blease OF South Carolina, Narda-
man OF Mississippi and Colqutt OF Texas, whose opposition is a COM
ellis of the Democratic party? How many delegates a they send 10
the next Democratic National convention?
Whether President Wilson is renominated OF not depends upon
himself. If he wants a denomination, the opposition will prove as weak
and futile as the opposition to Cleveland. II he refuses a renomina-
tion, the party will be beaten in advance OF the election fol he is the
only candidate it can possibly elect-New York World.

WHERE DID THE MONEY GO?

Out 81 all this hunabaoo that has been raised about III inadequate
military and naval strength the public is getting some interesting in
formation on the way the public money has been squandered. Seventy
per cen OF the government revenues have gone to the establishment and
maintenance Of the army and ay, yet W e are so1emnly told that We
IRE totally unprepared for defense against a hrstc1ass power.
bned, yet Admiral Fiske has testified that it would take five years to
get on navy into a state OF efficiency equal to that of the German
navy The total appropriations for the United States navy during the
past sixteen years aggregate $1,645W01S6. The total appropriations
for the German navy during these sixteen years were only $1237ol5O60
Only Great Brnian's naval expenditure in this period has exceeded ours
Yet we are o prepared for defense.
Where has the money gone?
As the leader Of the party that first imposed the bnnion-donar con-
press the country and then the b1hon-do1lar session, the Hon. Jim
Mann is the logical champion of an economy campaign.
