There are other matters of public policy which, In the judgment of the new executive, demand atten- tion from the national legislature, These will be taken up at the next regular session of congress in Decem- ber. As to the reason for taking up the revision of the tariff in advance of other measures of reform President Taft sald in his inaugural remarks: “It is not that the tariff Is more Im- portant in the long run than the per- fecting of the reforms In respect to anti-trust gislation and Interstate commerce regula but the need for action when revision of the tariff has been d¢ ned upon is more Imme- diate to avoid embarrassment of busi- ness.” Hence that the we ceed as pro may “yr Copyright by tion, dest executive should pro- Gy XEedit ously as sistent with careful and examinats yf the pro in the ¢ du- be it acl 1 ) posed change I schedules of Copyright by Clinedinst ties to the end that the new act may into for Doss ible early the c« sumn oq Eo ir : expect the ANYON PRERID- THE HOUSE AND UKTTE OF HIM evidently Is gppigen that : ING IN of A SILH will mea: wering rather than them dress or It | raising + sald In his ad has been such since the t, drafted tive principle, tariff above reduction of ind will re ew, If any.” ere have the tar they have indo the | party In It was ley act, tepublican of undoing Democratic Wilson bill Cleveland's The Gorman Wilson act, was a return to a Democrat be for tariff, sue ceeding the Republican standard es tablished by the McKinley act, And #0 on back through the Mills bill, the Morrison bill and other tariff meas ures, some enacted, others only pro- posed and discussed or acted upon by but branch of the government, The tariff was usually taken up when there was a change In the political complexion of congress and one party or the other desired to alter it to con- form to its particular ideas, In the present instance there has R Sil th on that stated rates In certal . 1 Years I N mea will n schedule quire the ads ent In rece been exter 1] 4 nt when th iterations terat h drafted 4 the been done the (G4 w hi WAS with ONEress what had rv Was ¢ second het rmnt ed In President inistration a8 1 cong n turn, the 188 one been no change In the political com. | plexion of the government, and re vision of a Republican measure Is to be undertaken by a Republican econ gress, The work Is attempted In re sponse to a sentiment in favor of re “wision believed by the Incoming admin. fstration to be earnest and widespread. There Is naturally much Interest and in some quarters even anxiety as to 1he results of the revision, as the tariff is a matter affecting so directly the business of the country. The hearings held during the winter by the ways and means committee revealed the fact that a wide differance of opinion ex. ists even among members of the party in power as to precisely what changes should be made In the sched: ules. President Taft has made his position In the matter clear, but It Is Sixty-first | | certaln congress which devises and frames fegislation, and the executive may only approve or reject what congress has alone, are of this kind Involves compromise.

It is custom. ary for the house to initiate legislation of this character, as the branch of the government nearest to the people, and the measure adopted is apt to take its stamp from the framers of house bill The Wilson bi of Cleve land's administration, | under we » genate bef orig! nal auth a candidate for!
