, WHY NOT HAVE A SCIEN
TIFIC TARIFF.
j Last week's taritT debate in Congress
marked a definite turning-point in the
appreciation by Congress of the i neces
sity of having something other than a
; tariir hodgepodge. In the domain of
natural resources, the country has now
awakened to need of dealing with some
one natural resource say a river not ;
piecemeal, as has been done in the past, ! Jt
but with proper regard for all of the
benefit which the river may .confer
upon the people. Hitherto the River
and Harbor bill has meant the dredging

The other day in the Uuited States
Senate in the debate on the tariff
Senator I'orah of Idaho said:
"Without continued and faithful ad
herence to the Roosevelt policies the
Republican party cannot continue in
power. No man is politically so short
sighted ur politically so blind as the
man who believes that the steamer
Hamburg carried away the policies and
principles, the public interest, and
aroused public conscience and the
surging public i oneern which this. re
markable man bequeathed to'his countrymen."

special interests Senator Aldrjch as
leader, the opposition was ,able to con-
vince the country that the "insur
gents" in either house of Congress
would deal with ea:h schedule in a
more scientific way than that of the
"standpatterj." The "insurgents"
would consider each schedule in the
light, lirst, of the greatest amount of
revenue to be obtained by the Federal
Government; second, with the view of
equalizing duties, as far as possible, to
the consumer; and third-not first-for
thj purpose of encouraging American
industries. In this connection a signifi
cant event of the week was the intro
duction by Senators Reveiidge and La
Follette, as amendments to the Payne
bill, of bills to create a non-partisan
tariff commission to gather impartially
information concerning tariir rates and
classifications. Under such a commis
sion the whole country would doubtless
be considered - Government, consumers,
manufacturers-rather than any one
element. Thus the tariff would be no
longer, as it has been, a conflict of
local issues, always in some manufac
turer's interest. During the debate on
the Payne bill in the House several
"standpatters" were convicted to the
tariff commission idea, and so strong
has this sentiment become in the Senate
that the conservatives themselves now
propose a compromise; namely, a tariff
bureau, presumably as a part of the
Treasury Department. Such a Bureau
of Tariff Research, composed of trained
experts, would be a great advance on
the present system, by which each pro
tected interest furnishes information.
This bureau ought to lead to a perman
ent, non-partisan commission. The
Outlook.
So ne sixteen years ajo under the
editorial management of Mr. G. F. S.
Rurto;i of this city the News-Herald
advocated a scientific tariff commis
sion. It is the only business method
of arranging correct tariff schedules.
