G. 0.P. TARIFF TO
RAISE HUGE SUM
$700, 100000 A Year Estimated
Income From New Bill Offer
ed In House Wednesday

Washington, June 3O-The ad-
ministration's permanent tariff
bill was introduced Wednesday
in the House Of Representatives
and for the first time was made
public.
Unofficial estimates by mem
bers of the Ways and Means
Committee, however. placed the
expected return as high as $780,
I0OO,000 a year The Payne-AI-
drich law in the normal pre-war
years produced little more than
$30O,0O0,000 wear.
Examination Of the bill which
covers 346 printed pages, shows
that i'll some cases the rates pro-
posed are higher than CORE
spending rates Of the Payne-Al-
drich law, while others are cor
respondingly lower.
An estimate of how the whole
bill compares with the Payne
Aldrich bill would only be pos
sible by tariff experts making
detailed study, because the sche-
dulles of the new bill are in many
cases not framed III parallel with
,hc schedules Cf tie Payne law,
)utare differently constructed.
In comparison with the Under
wood tariff law of the Wilson adj
ministration the new bill re-
moves many articles from the
free list, although it leaves
large list free OF duty, including
print paper, wood pulp, harness
and leather and agricultural! i'm
plements. 1t raises the duty on
the great bulk Of imports already
being taxed. Il has made no no
able additions 10 the free list.
Comparison Cf the wool sche-
lule with Schedule X of the
Payne-Aldrich bill, over which a
bitter fight was Waged in Con-
gress, showed material reduction
in d number pf instances. In the
items of hose and gloves, the du-
ty fixed by the committee was
80 cents a pound and Is per cent
ad valorem in addition, while in
the Payne-Aldrich bill the rate
was A cents 4 pound and 90 per
cent ad valorem. Clothing, as
fixed in the b;Il, carries 20 cents
a pound and 3 per cent, against
a cents Il pound and 90 per cent
in the Payne measure.
The same degree of shading
was made by ;he committee in
knit fabrics at Is cents a pound
and 20 per cent ad valorem, as
against the former Republican
rate of 50 to - cents pound and
50 to 55 per cent ad valorem.
Republican members of the
committee, refusing heretofore
to give any information as to the
exact provisions Of the measure,
today declared that the rates on
wool were much below the Payne
Aldrich schedule. Democratic
members of tle committee did
not have access to the bill until
late today and hey were at work
late in an effort to find out Just
how it compared.
In the rush to get the bill to
the House the committee had no
time to submit report. but it is
subject to change, it was saidby
a Republican caucus. Only
few changes we're made at the
meeting today, the most impor-
tant being a turn about upon the
question of oil. After voting
down last week proposal to tax
crude petroleum, the committee
at the eleventh hour put tax
of IS cents Il barrel on crude and
Is cents Il barrel Of fuel oil.

Stewart estimates the production at
about 900 barrels, but feels certain
that this can be much increased when

Frantz officials have not yet an
nounced the well as in, the reason
being that water trouble persists and
It may possible become serious. How
ever, this trouble does not affect the
main fact of the oil being struck and
the extent of production, so far as the
public is concerned, though everyone
hopes the company will have good luck
in finishing up the well.
Standard Oil Buys.
Heretofore the Standard Oil has been

if we were members of the League
Of Nations.
Of course, the new administra-
ton at the state department has
not yet had time to make its diplo-
matte policies known, but there is
no expectation that it will repudi-
ate the attitude of its predecessor
on the matter Of manufactures. In
deed, there is some suspicion that
it may go further. It is asserted
that in a secret session of the SEN
ate, the other day, Henry Cabot
Lodge, chairman Of the foreign re-
lations committee of the senate.
threw a scare into the committee
about the probability of a war with
Japan over this question and it
was partly on this account that the
senate increased the naval bill by
a hundred million dollars over the
sum which the house had fixed for
it, We can hardly believe that any
sane person can expect or desire
war with Japan over such trifle
as this zap matter or other pen
prick controversies, but wars are
often bred over such trifling things,
and war preparations themselves
often cause war. We have not
found much to admire in the po-
litical actions of Senator Borah of
Idaho, but we certainly must give
him credit for his resolution look
ing to a naval holiday between
Japan, Great Britain and the Unit
ed States. Great Britain has al
ready ceased building warships.
Japan and the United States might
well follow suit.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN

THE proposal Of Senator Booth
i to consolidate five or six
iudsships is the kind Of work that
should have started at the begin
ming of the regular session of the
legislature. We are not prepared
to pass upon the merit Of each case
that he has in mind at this time,
but we do know that thousands OF
dollars could have been cut out OF
state expenses in one department
or another if there had been a
studied attempt to do SO. We think
that Senator Booth could point out
many ways of reducing our ex-
penses without even the aid OF
an investigating committee. The
trouble is that there has been no
concerted attempt anywhere to cut
the outgo.
Taking the whole senate for in
stance the praise, if any, that you
could direct toward the upper
house for this session would have
to be of negative sort. It has
stopped some bad legislation. This
is faint praise. The senate has some
capable men-it could have done
better. Some Of the senator's have
had long experience. They know
the state we'll. Much Of the mad
chase of the governor and major
ity Of the house for large sums Of
unnecessary revenue would have
been checkmated if the senator's
whom we have in mind had started
after reductions in the expenses of
the state just at they tackle prob
lens of business at home.
However it will not do any
harm to cut off an unnecessary
Judge or two to make good the cost

SPENDING MONEY-FOR
WHAT?

IN the olden days there was an
! alleged philosopher who gave
much time, and concentrated men-
tai effort to finding out how many
angels could stand upon the point
Of needle.
Over in Helena the governor has
called the members Of the legisla-
ture into extraordinary session and
has asked them to spend $4,000 a
day until they discover whether or
not somebody heard man say that
some undesignated fellows trad
ed or delivered" votes and there
bv prevented the full" program OF
the chief executive from being car
ried out.
There may be points wherein this
analogy is defective but the impor-
lance of each investigation cited is
about equal 50 far as was revealed
by the testimony that was present
ed on Thursday before the senate
swap investigating committee.
If anybody has committed a
crime against the statutes OF the
state The Tribune will be glad to
see the whole truth come out, but
the loose and neighborhocd scan
dial fashion in which this sensation
was dumped upon the legislature
and the public is disgusting, and II
there is anything Of consequence
in it we do not see why it should
not have been presented resting
upon a few ascertained facts ana
not upon tell-tale rumor.
As we have said before, the peo-
nle of the state would like to have
this legislature finish its business
and 90 home. They are interested
in whatever real legislation may be
passed, but they do not care boot
about the governor having his own
way in every particular. They wish
the chief executive we'll, but things
that have happened during the past
week are veering public opinion
around and somewhat into sympa-
.hy with the speech Of Senator Ed
wards at the opening Of the special
session, which expressed the opin-
ion that the governor was not the
legislature in theory and so tar as
he personally was concerned coulo
not be in practice.
It surely is going strong when a
governor tells the legislative de-
partment that it hasn't enough wis
dom to pass the laws that are need
ed. and that he therefore proposes
to step in and make good the deli
cheney, And this is not all OF the
bitter NORWOOD that the legisla-
tors are asked to eat. Mr.. Dixon
has attached another new preroga-
tive to himself-he chooses the man
who shall make up the bills which
he orders the legislature to pass,
and further fixes the recompense
and o. KS the vouchers in pay
ment for services rendered. .
Isn't that something we never
heard of before in this state? Seems
like some Capitalization OF power
bv quite explicit direction. That's
what you might call legislation
completely prepared and "deliv-
cred" to the legislature, and there
is no Grading" or swapping" in
this process.
