PAGE SIX THE CITIZEN, FltfDAY, APRIL ir, 1913. SHORT MESSAGE STICKS TO TARIFF President Wilson Advises the Extra Session. URGENT NEED OF REFORMS Chief Executive Says Recent Elections Laid a Duty Upon the Democratio Party, Which Must Lighten the Bur den of the People Says It Would Bo Unwise to Move Forward Headlong or With Reckless Haste; That Busi ness Must Be Encouraged, Not De stroyed, but That Everything That Ha3 a Semblance of Privilege Must Be Abolished Promises Special Mes sage Dealing With Needed Banking and Currency Lews. To the Suuuto mid Uotiso of Repre sentatives: I luivo culled tbo congress together in extraordinary session because n duty was laid upou the party now In power at the recent elections which It ought to perform promptly In order that the burden carried by the people under existing law may be lightened as soon as possible and In order, also, that the business Interests of the coun try may not be kept too long in sus pense as to what the Dscal changeB by American Press Association. 'PHESIDENT WILSON. are to be to which they will bo requir ed to adjust tTicnisolves. It is clear to the whole country that the tariff duties must be altered. They must bo changed to meet the radical alteration In the conditions of our economic life which the country has witnessed with in the last generation. While the whole face and method of our indus trial and commercial life were being changed beyond recognition the tariff schedules have remained what they were before the change began or havo moved In the direction they were giv en when no largo circumstance of our industrial development was what it Is today. Our task is to square them with the actual facts. The sooner that is done the sooner wo shall escape from suffering from the facts and the sooner our men of "business will be free to thrive by the law of nature (the nature of free business) instead of by the law of legislation and arti ficial arrangement. How Tariff Has Grown. We havo seen tariff legislation wan der very far afield in our day very far indeed from tho field In which our prosperity might havo had a normal growth and stimulation. No one who looks the facts squarely in the face or knows anything that lies beneath the surface of action can fail to perceive tho principles upon which recent tariff legislation has been based. We long ago passed beyond tho modest notion of "protecting" tho Industries of the country and moved boldly forward to tho idea that they were entitled to the direct patronage of tho government. For a long time a time so long that tho men uow active in public policy hardly remember tho conditions that proceeded It wo havo sought In our tariff schedules to give each group of manufacturers or producers what they themselves thought that they needed in order to maintain a practically ex clusive market as against the rest of the world. Consciously or unconscious ly wo havo built up n set of privileges and exemptions from competition be hind which It was easy by any, even tho crudest, forms of combination to organlzo monopoly, until at last noth ing is normal, nothing is obliged to stand the tests of efficiency nnd econo my, In our world of big business, but tverythlng thrives by concerted nr. rangement; Only now principles of action will savo us from a final bard crystallization of monopoly and a com. pleto loss of tho Influences that quick en enterprise and keep independent en, ergy nlive. Must Abolish Privilege. It is plain what those principles must be. Wo must abolish everything that teal's even the semblance of privilege tr of any kind of artificial advantago and put our business men and pro ducers under tho stimulation of a con stant necessity to bo efficient, econom ical and enterprising, masters of com petitive supremacy, better workers and merchants than any in the world. Asldo from tho duties laid upon arti cles which wo do not and probably cannot produce, therefore, and the duties laid upon luxuries and merely for the sake of tho revenues they yield, tho object of the tariff duties hence forth laid must bo effective competi tion, the whetting of American wits by contest with the wits of tho rest of tho world. It would be unwise to move toward this end headlong, with reckless haste or with strokes that cut at the very roots of what has grown up among us by long process and at our own In vitation, it does not alter a thing to upset It and break It and deprive It of a chance to change. It destroys It. Wo must make changes In our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system, whose ob ject Is development, u more free and wholesome development, not revolution or upset or confusion. We must build up trade, especially foreign trade. We need the outlet and the enlarged field of energy more than wo ever did be fore. We must build up Industry ns well and must adopt freedom In the place of artificial stimulation only so fur as It will build, not pull dowu. In dealing with the tnrlff the method by which this may be done will be a mat ter of Judgment, exercised Item by Item. To some not accustomed to the excitements and responsibilities of greater freedom our methods may In some respects and nt some points seem heroic, but remedies may be heroic and yet be remedies. It Is our busi ness to make sure that they are genu ine remedies. Our object is clear. If our motive Is above Just challenge and only an occasional error of judg ment is chargeable against us we shall bo fortunate. Thorough, but Moderate. Wo are called upon to render tho country a great service in more mat ters than one. Our responsibility should be met, and our methods should be thorough, as thorough as moderate and well considered, based upon the facts as they are, and not worked out as If we were beginners. We are to deal with the facts of our own day. with the facts of no other, and to make laws which square with those facts. It Is best Indeed, it Is necessary to begin with tho tariff. I will urge noth ing upon you now at tho opening of your session which can obscure that first object or divert our energies from that clearly defined duty. At a .later time I may take the liberty of calling your attention to reforms which should press close npou'tho heels of tho tariff changes. If not accompany theni, of which the chief is the reform of our banking and currency laws, but just now I refrain. For the present I put these matters on one side nnd think only of this one thing of tho changes in our fiscal system which may best serve to open once more the free chan nels of prosperity to a great people whom we would serve to the utmost and throughout botli rank and file. WOODROW WILSON. Tho White House. April 8, 1013. . INTEREST IN THE SESSION. For the First Time In Many Years Democrats Control. Elements in the extra session of con gress are unusual. President Wilson has called tho great body together at n tlmo when his party has absolute con trol of every branch of the govern ment relating to legislation. This has not been tho case before in twenty years. During that period of long ago when tbo Democrats were In power President Cleveland called an extra session, but tho conditions were vastly different from now. The extra session under President Wilson is remarkable beeauso tho law makers to a large extent are men of comparatively recent rise to promi nence. Because of the fact that the Democratic party Is providing a change from Republican rule for the first time In sixteen years great Interest is cen tered upon the doings of congress. Virtually a new generation of legis lators has sprung up. With but a very few exceptions there aro no men who figured in congressional doings of twenty years ngo who are sharing the responsibilities of tho body now. Of only one thing has the public been absolutely certain, and that Is that the tariff would bo first and foremost among the subjects for work by the legislators, and that revision downward would be tho purpose. Tho legislators themselves have not known Just how tho revision is to bo managed, and It has been well understood that they would not all bo pleased over all tho details of tho ultimate changes. The subject has been thrashed over so often and earnestly that its Intricacies have becomo feared. Tho ways and means committee, which has bad the task of drafting the lentatlvo form of the new tariff meas ire, has been unable to announce com pletion of its work in advance of tho extra session, but tbo probability is that the measure will bo taken up Bchedulo by schedule. Tbo public has been led to expect that after tho tariff is disposed of con gress will consider currency, the in come tax, Philippine independence and Itio Panama tolls questions. Much publicity has been given to the proposed national lncomo tax. Tbo tax will probably apply only to incomes of over $5,000 annually. Certain members of congress hold that this sort of levy would bo confined to but a compara tively small proportion of the public and that the revenuo would not be suf ficient They argue that an inheritance tax should be added to Insure the need For Sale Large Dairy and Hay Farm GOOD SUMMER RESORT.

MORE SIMPLIFYING IS DONE New York Board Makes Fourth As sault on Old Fashioned Methods of Orthography Many Endings Rudely Stripped School Is Now "Scool." Bluff Is Now "Bluf." The simplified spelling board issued gently In New York its fourtli assault on English ns It has been written for some time and makes suggestions and rules that will give tho old fashioned spelling book a severe shock. The at tempt Is lundo to break tho list gently to the public, but in so doing the board is forced to use this sentence: "The reader Is urged In considering these new spellings not to be too much 'Inlluenst' by the 'od' appearance of the words." Therein Is illustrated one of the most unklndest cuts of the new list, for tho words ending in "need" and "rsed" are to,, be written by tho followers of tho new spelling in "nst" and "rst." In giving out its list the simplified spoiling bonrd is considerate enough to follow the ancient order of the alpha bet. The combination ch is the first to suffer, nnd the h is annihilated. Thus "chaos" Is set down to he spell ed "caos," "character" is "caracter," "chorus" is "corus." "Eco" is not a foreign word, but Is the familiar "echo," and the place where we learned the things wo are now urged to forget is not a "school," but n "scool." The K Has Bad Luck. The ch Is retained before e, y and I. Words like "chemist," "architect," "or chestra" and "scheme" aro retained as they have been. Next tho ending ck Is attacked. The rule Is to drop the k after an unstress ed vowel. It Is noted that the final k has already been dropped by our an cestors in many words that once had It. This applies to all words like "der rick," "haddock," "hammock," "sham rock" and oven "knapsack" and "haver sack." The simplification of many monosyllubles ending in ck is postpon ed by the board until the derived forms are agreed upon. Thus people will continue to get "sick" nnd not "sic" nnd can Ho comfortably on their "backs" In the morning and not havo to do with n "bac." A change of wide effect Is that of dropping the final e after a single con sonant preceded by a short vowel or by nny -stressed vowel whose sound is not conveniently associated with the silent final e. This makes strangers of such old friends as "have," which be comes "hav," ond "live," "forgive," "misgive" and oven "are,"'"gone" and "were." "Heart" Is Broken. When the two vowels ca come to gether and are pronounced as long n before r the rule Is .to drop the e. This rulo literally breaks tho "heart" and leaves it "hart." "Hearth" become "harth." Final ew, which appears in many words like' "blew," "grew," "chew" and "threw," is changed to u, so the simplified spellers will write, "Tho wind 'blu.' " When It comes to conju gating verbs ending in ew, Hko "brew," they aro undaunted and will say, "I bru" and then "I brued" and "I have brued." Simplified spellers who have been accustomed to "chew" tobacco will now simply ''chu" It and confess that they "chued" it Another e Is lost in words ending in ey ns an unstressed syllable which sounds like y. "Attorney" becomes "attorny," and "donkey" is "donky." This will affect "turkey" trot by mak ing It the "turky" trot and possibly raising It in tho eyes of the simplified spellers Then there are to be no more ff end ings. One f is considered enough. American "bluff" will be American "bluf," and the "gruff" man who gets in a "huff" must simply bo "gruf" and have a "huf." Tbe law suffers hero de cidedly with tho "plaintiff" only "plain tlf" and tho "sheriff' falling to "sherif." Gh Becomes F. Where gh is pronounced as f tho board rules that it shall bo written f, and where gh is silent both letters are dropped. "Laugh" becomes "laf," and the noun is "lafter." The "cough" is "cof," and "enough" Is "enuf." Where gh Is silent, as In "caught" and "aught," the words becomo simple "caut" and "out." When gn is pronounced Hko n, g is to bo, dropped, as in "gnaw" and "gnos tic." Whero gn is pronounced like eln, as in "reign" and "deign," the g 13 to be dropped. Thus an unhappy monarch might "feln" to "rein." Likewise, when kn starts a word, Hko "knife," tho k is dropped. Thus people would "neel" in church, and the housewife would "nead" tho dough. Tho k Is kept in know and knowledge One 1 of tbo final 11 is dropped, also making a great change in many com mon words and making many of them puzzling. A prisoner in a "eel" would cause one to stop and think. And also a houso on a "hll" would be annoying. Add to these such overyday words as tbol" for "bell," "dol" for "doll" and wBhal" for "shall" and "sel' for "sell." Tho board says that this is carrying out a process that has been going on for a long time.
