ALL AGAINST DELAY VOTERS ARE FOR IMMEDIATE TARIFF REVISION. Pledge Given the Country by the Re publican Party Must Be Redeemed —President Taft Does Well to Be insistent. The tarilf bill ought to lie out of the way soon. The first of June ought to be the limit. It can be given the necessary consideration and be disposed of by that date. And the people can help materially to that de sirable end. They should not let their representatives forget that they j are watching the work, or to labor un-, der the impression that they are not i interested. President Taft lias taken the commendahleposition that prompt j action is of the utmost importance. ' lie may well continue to impress that fact on the members of congress and lie should have the active assistance of all the people in that task. Responsibility for result will rest upon the Republican party. It has been charged by the people with tar iff revision and the people expect that the majority of congress will redeem that pledge without unnecessary de- j lay. The pledge was for immediate J revision, not for revision any old time. President Taft has shown his obedience to the mandate by calling the congress in extra session. The majority party In congress must do the rest. it. has an ample working majority and it must drop personal differences, get together and pass the bill. It should give the country the best bill it is capable of in the inter est of the whole people, but it should do the thing at an early date. Some changes in the bill of the committee on ways and means seem to be necessary and proper. The rule should provide for these. They ought to be made with as little delay as may be. Then there is nothing for t*he majority in the house to do but stand together and pass the bill. The senate should be very careful in tear ing down the work of the committee and of the house. The majority in. that body is also responsible. It ought to be reminded of its respon sibility by its constituents in all parts of the country and held to its duty, which is plain enough. It may be conceded proper that the senate should make some changes, but the fathers obviously did not intend that the senate should alter the character of revenue bills or they would not have provided that such measures should originate in the lower branch. It is time now for everybody to push. Business waits. The Double Plan. The charge is made that the Payne maximum-minimum plan must involve us in a world-wide trade war and com pel us to impose maximum duties on a large proportion of our imports. But why should it have those effects? With countries which have only a single schedule tariff, and which ap ply that single schedule without dis criminating against the Ignited States, our trade relations will adjust them selves automatically under the Payne scheme. Such countries will get at once the benefit of our minimum rates. In that class are Great Britain, Canada, Australia, the other British possessions, Mexico, Cuba, Japan, China and most of the countries of Central and South America. Probably from three-fifths to two-thirds of our present export trade is with coun tries with which we are already on a most favored nation footing. There does not seem to us to be any valid reason for doubting that countries like Germany and France, which have maximuril-nHnitnum rates, will be glad to continue'to trade with us on a ba sis of equality. Why should they want to handicap themselves in the compe tition for American, business? Ger many Is Great Britain's most active European rival in. manufactures, com merce and transportation. She can not afford to allow Great Britain an easier entry than she herself enjqjfs into the American market. Economic pressure will force Germany and France to seek the benefit, of our mini mum schedules at the small price of admitting American products at the same rates that are laid on similar products from other nations. Found at Last. The trouble with the Democratic party is too much politics and no* I enough statesmanship. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1909 POINT TOG OFTEN FORGOTTEN To Raise Necessary Revenue, Articles of Universal Consumption Must Be Taxed. Opposition to tho Payne tariff bill has been made on ihe familiar plat form of tariff for revenue only. That is the British system—tax imports thai will be imported, tax internal products that will be produced. Hut every attempt of the Payne bill to raise revenue by duties on articles of universal import and consumption has been met with protest that such taxes would fall upon tho masses, and are, therefore, to be avoided. Says the Portland Oregonian: "Will anybody tell bow to get large tariff revenues without duties 011 ar ticles of universal consumption? Un ties on luxuries and costly goods, how over high, will supply only small sums —small for a government that must have ? 1.000.000,000 a year. No tariff will he framed that will bring in large revenues and yet please the mass of consumers," The 1 rouble with the demand for a tariff for revenue that shall levy n appreciable taxes, and therefore no revenue, is that it is not sincere. That is; why it ends in a fizzle. A revenue tariff means the taxation, not of silks, diamonds, kid gloves and velvets, for these are of too limited use to yield mucli revenue, but of articles of uni ver'-al consumption like those on which the British government raises its cus toms revenues sugar, coffee, tea, spirits, tobacco, cocoa, currants and raisins. Xo, there is no sincerity in it. The sole purpose is to complain of the tariff bill, whatever is done—if protec tive, then that it. taxes the poor. Pro tection, when it is complete, leads to free trade. The protective tariff, when it has brought forth, yields the reve nue tariff; and when we get. the reve nue tariff we can accept it like hon est. men or cry out like babies that a. revenue tariff means taxes—that money going into the government's pocket has to come out of some other pocket. Selfishness of Protection. The government may find immense resources in taxation of imports, by proper adjustment of duties, with a view to revenue. But it is extremely difficult to reach such a result, be cause of the local selfishness that in sists on a protective, or even a pro hibitive tariff, for special interests in particular districts; and, moreover, be cause of insistence that, commodities of universal consumption, not produced largely in our own country, should be admitted free, because the poor con sume more of them than the rich. Analysis of the whole argument car ries it to absurdity, in every direction; for the true tariff always is a revenue tariff, and Champ Clark is right in the academic argument that the sole test as to a duty should be the inquiry whether it will be a revenue producer or not. But this is not yet a practical question. At some future time it may he, but thus far the argument for pro tection dominates legislation.—Port land Oregonian. Free Iron, Wood and Hides. . The time has come to provide for a larger supply of iron ores by a tariff which will admit new deposits, like those in Cuba, by reciprocity or by ore, free altogether. The demand for this has undoubtedly been strength ened by the policy of the steel trust, publicly announced by President Gary, to maintain steel quotations. The malnterianqe of ore prices over the depression' has made natural and inevitable new ore supplies. Forestry agitation and high lumber held by a few hands, has educated the public to a recognition that, our lumber conditions have changed. Our great wood industries need access to new supplies. The boot and shoe manufac turers. now yearly reporting their product, have the sanu- view on hides, and the relations of the meat trust to the domestic supply of hides and leath er, whose price has been supported through depression, influence public opinion.—Philadelphia Press. Work Must Be Well Done. It's an endless chain, ho closely are j industries allied. What is the raw ! material of one industry is the fin- I ished product of another.
