would be obtained by scientific revision.
Todays. fnesstge continued:
"A popular demand aros for the formal
creation by-law of a permanent nonparti
san tariff commission. Commercial bodies
all over'the. country united In a movement
to secure adequate legislation for the pur
pose and an association with a nation-wide
constituency was organized to promote
the cause,-' The public opinion In' favor of
euch-'a'"cc5mmlsalon was evidenced 'by reso
lutions adopted In 19(i9 and 1910 by republican
stats conventions In at least twenty-eight
states. "
"In addition efforts were made to secure
a change In the rules of procedure in the
house and senate with a view to preventing
the Consideration of tariff changes except
schedule by schedule. ;
MiiIbn Protective Basle.
"The business, of tha country rests on a
piorwotive tariff' busts. The public keenly
realised that Ji disturbance of business by
a change In tha tariff and a threat of In
jury . to tha industries of the country ought
to be avoided, and that nothing could help
so much to minimise the fear of destruc
tive changes as the known existence of a
reliable So-uroe of information-' for legis
lative action. -In the deep Interest In the
matter of -en -impartial ascertainment of
facta before any new ' revision was evi
denced by an effort to pass a tariff com
mission bill In tha shortsenslon of the
81 xty -first voiigress in whleh many of both
parties united. Such a bill passed both
houses. H provided a commission of five
members to be appointed by the president,
not more than three of whom wars to be
long to the asms party, and gave them
the power -and made it their duty to In
vestigate the operation of tha tariff, the
comparative cost of production at home
fnd abroad and Ilka, matters of impprtaiice
Infixing Jim terms' of a revenue measure
and required them to report to the execu
tive and to congress when directed.
; "Several, ' not 1 vital. ' fcmertdmehts were
made In the senate, which' necessitated a.
return of. the bill 'to the house, where, be
cause of (he limited duration of the Ses
sion, a comparatively small minority were
able to. pre vent Us becoming a law.
How Board Was Appointed.
"Qn the failure of this bill, I took such
steps aa I could to make the tariff board
I had already appointed a satisfactory sub
stitute for the proposed tariff commission.
An , appropriation of $235,000, to continue
the work until June 90, 1912, had, been
granted by congress. In the alternative, to
be applied to the board I had appointed,
unless a tariff commission bill was passed.
In tt)ls appropriation bill, the non-partisan
tariff commission; If created and appointed,
waa directed tp make a report on schedule
K.;.by December 1 1911. - Accordingly, -1
added , two members to the tariff board
fronvths opposition, party, and .directed the
board to mas rort an achsdule W. by
December 1, next. The board , differs In
no , wsji-from the 'tariff commission as it
would have been, except In Its power to
summon- wliaesses? and J am advised by
Uia members of toa beard that without this
power, they nsvs had no difficulty In se
curing tha Information thsy derlrs.
What liaard Has Done.
"The board took same months to Inves
tigate the methods pursued In other coun
tries In procuring Information on tariff
subjects and to orgsnizo its force. In Oc
tober, 1910, ts work' of Investigation be
gan with a, force of forty that has 'now
Increased to eighty." In addition to tle

;The president, srter quoting from a re

.)Tlds brings me to the consideration of
Che terms of the bill presented tor my ap

raw wool with dinerent latea for different
classes; It affords ths manufacturer what

sent a complication of technical detail that
prevents any one not especially Informed
concerning wool growing and manufacture
from understanding the schsdule and the
effect of changes In the various rates and
percentsges.
"If there ever was a schedule that needed
consideration and Investigation and elabo
rate explanation by experts before Its
amendments It la schedule K. There la a
widespread belief that many rates In the
present schedule are too high and are In
excess of any needed protection for the
wool grower or manufacturer. I share this
belief and have so. stated In ssveral public
addresses. But I have no sufficient data
on which I can Judge how schedule K
ought to be amended or how Its rates ought
to be reduced In order that tha new bill
shall furnish the proper measure, on pro
tection and no more. Nor have I Informa
tion which satisfies me that the bill pre.
sented to me for signature will accomplish
this result
History of Rill Not Reaasarln.
"The parliamentary history of ths bill Is
not reassuring on this point. . It was Intro
duced and passed In ths house as provid
ing a tariff for revenue only and with the
avowed purpose of departing from a pro
tective tariff policy.
"The rate of duty on raw wools of all
classes was chanced from a. arMcirin tit
of 11. cents a pound to 20 nee cent ait
valorem. On ths average for the Importa
tions for the last two yeara thl. i rri.
tlon from 47.24 per Cent to to per cent. Rates
on cloths were reduoed In the bill from the
present average duty of 7.S7 per cent to 40
per cent and on wearing apparel from 81.31
per cent to 45 per cent. The bill was de
feated In tho senate and so was a substi
tute Introduced as a protection measurs.
Tho proposed substitute fixed the duty on
raw wool first class, at 40 per cent and on
a second class of carpet wools at 10 per
cent and on cloths at so par cent and on
wearing appall 'ai the sama rata. On reconsideration-
a compromise between the
house hill ahd the senate sub-bill and In
whloh the rate on first class wool was fixed
at U per cent on carpet wools, and 10 par
cent on cloths and wearing apparel U per
cent. In conference between the two houses
the rate on all classes of raw wool was
fixed at 2 per cent, this being an In
crease on carpet wools of t per cent as
fixed In the house bill and of It per cent as
fixed In the senate bill. The conference
rate on cloths and wearing apparel waa
fixed at 49 per cent. Mo evidence aa to
the cost of production here or abroad was
published, and ths compromise amendment
in the senate was adopted without refer
ence to or consideration by a committee.
Measnre Not Sclenttflo.
"I do not mention these facts to criti
cise the method of preparation of the bill;
but I must needs refer to them to show
that the congressional proceedings make
available for me no accurate or scientific
ally acquired Information which enables
me to determine that he bill supplies tha
measure of protection promised In the
platform on which I waa elected.
' Without any Investigation of whleh the
details are available and avowed tariff tot
revenue and anti-protecUon bill is by com
promise blended with a professed protection
bill. lutes between those of the two bills
are adopted and passed, except that in
some Important iruuancee rates axe fixed
In the compromise ut a figure higher and
in pthers at a figure lower than were origi
nally fixed in either house. Ths prlnclpls
followed in adjusting the amendments of
existing law Is therefore not nscsssary and
the effect of the bill most uncertain.
"Tha Wilson tariff act of 1SS4, while giv
ing the manufacturer free wool, provided
'as high duUes on leading manufactures of
wool us does the prescht bill, which at the
same time, taxea the raw material at V
per cent. Thus tho protection ntnrA
manufacturers uuder the Wilson bill was
very considersbly higher than under the
present bill. During the years In which the
Wilson bill was In force the woolen manu
faoturera suffered. Msny mills were com
pelled to shut down. These were abnormal
ears and It is not necessary to attribute
the hard times solely to tho tariff aot of

therefore, as taking away the only chance
for reduction by this con (tress.
''More then a million of our countrymen
are ensaged In the production of wool
and the manufacture of woolens; more
thsn a billion of the country's capltsl Is
Invested In the Industry. Large rommunl
ties are almost wholly dependent on the
prosperity of ths wool grower and ths
woolen manufacturer. Moderately est!
mated, five million of the American people
will be Injuriously affected by an Ul-ad
vised Impairment of the wool and woolen
Industries. Certainly we should proceed
prudently In dealing with them on the
basis of ascertained facts rather than
hastily and without knowledge to make a
reduction of ths tariff to satisfy a popu
lar desire, whleh I fully recognize for re
duction of duties believed to be excessive.
No Nee aHor Hasty Action.
"I have no doubt that If I were to sign
this bill, I would receive the approval of
very many persons who favor a reduction
of duftee in order to reduoe the cost of
living, which has an effect on our protected
Industries, and who fall to realise the
disaster to business generally and tp the
people at large, which may coma from a
radical disturbance of that part of business
dependent for Its life on the continuance
of a protective tariff. If I fall to guard
as far as I can tha Industries of ths coun
try to the extent of giving them the bene
fit of a living measure of protection and
business disaster ensues, I shall not be
discharging my duty. If I fall to recom
mend the reduction of excessive duties to
this extent. I shall fall In my duty to the
consuming public. -
"There Is no publlo exigency requiring
the revision of schsdule K., In August
without adequate Information, rather than
In December next with such Information.
December waa the time fixed by bpth par
ties In the last congress for the submis
sion 'of adequats Information on schedule
K., with a view to Its amendment. Cer
tainly the publlo weal Is better preserved
by delaying ninety days In order fo do
Justice and make such a reduction as shall
be proper, than now blindly to enact a law
which may seriously Injure the Industries
Involved and the business of the country
In general."

"When the National Wool Growers' asso
ciation holds Its annual convention In
Omaha In Daccmber 1 look for at lea.t
2.000 delegates fro mall over the United
Mates. Canada and Mexico,", said (Secre
tary 8. W. McClure. who, with eastern
Vice President A. J. Knollln, came to
make preliminary arrangements . for the
annusl sheep .how and convention of the
National Wool Qrowars' association. No
definite dstes have been set other than
that the meeting will be held, beginning
about December It, and lasting three days.
Plan for Conrentloa.
Secretary McClure and Vice President
Knollln spent the greater part of yester
day afternoon with Publicity 'Manasrer
Parrlsh of ths Commercial club, who Is
assisting In planning for the comfort and
accomodation of the visitors.
The convention last year was held In
Portland, Ore., but on account of the fact
that Portland Is situated so far west, ths
attendance was Something lsss than 1,000.
The convention in Omaha, however, Is
expected to' bring at the very lowest esti
mate 1.000 members, so It will take con
siderable planning and figuring to enter
tain .and aeeomodate them.
"The Wool Growers' association is not
a trust of any kind," said Secretary Mc
Clure. "but It Is merely an organisation of
the men who produce the wool, who formed
It for their f mutual protection. I have
figured that all of the wool that Is In this
suit of clothes I have on now brpught the
wool grower 11.60. I paid 835 for it. Of
cdurjfe, there Is the cost of spinning the
thread, weaving, euttlng, making the cloth
In suits, the rent of stores, salesman hire
and many other things to figure on, but
nevertheless It csn be easily seen that the
man who spends a whole' year to grow
the wool which brisgs. hlm his ..share of
the $36 does not wax very fat."
Final arrangements for the. convention
will be completed soms time soon and the
secretary will begin to wortt upon a pro
gram for the three-day meet. In connec
tion with the convention it Is always cus
tomary to give a sheep show, and alrdeay
men who are contemplating making ex
hibitions, are casting about for the best
sheep In their flocks. Mr. McClure. says
that, taking all circumstances Into consid
eration, at least 1,500 animals should be
entered.
KULL TALKS OF LAND 1
VALUES IN GREGORY
Member of Federal Commission Says
Mack of Urnalnar Urossd Is
Good for Farming:
OREOOnr, S. V., Aug. 17.-r-(8peclal.)-A.
E. Kull has returned from a summer vaca
tion trip to the Pacific coast and was th
Gregory today Inspecting; the quarters In
the United States land office building
which he, In conjunction with the other
members of the special commission which
Inspscted and appraised the lands of Mel
lette county, will occupy with a free Infor
matlon bureau for the benefit of the
home-stead ers during the Mellette and Ben
nett county registration, October 8 to 21.
While In the elty Mr. Kull waa qusstloned
regarding some of the details of the ap
praisement. .
.'The only difficulty we encountered In
making the appraisement," said Mr, Kull
"was In drawing- the line between agricul
tural land and graslng land. You see. In
Mellette county the soil is all good. -The
difference In the land rests solely on -the
fact that some of K Is psrfectly level, some
Is gently undulating, some Is quite rolling,
some Is decidedly rough and some of It
fairly ' stands on edge. To tell exactly
where the farming land quit and the grac
ing land began was practically impossible.
We were assisted considerably by our In-
structlons, which made It Imperative wljjt us
to' appraise the land In square quarters of
166 sores each. Of ' course the perfectly
level quarters, svery foot of which Is gilt-
edge plow land, was all appraised as Al
at 18 per acre. This classification also In
cludes the land that Is not quite level, but
go near It as to be absolutely good, at 85
per acre. Then the Al classification em
braces lands appraised at 13 to 34.50 per
acre. Ths $4.50 Isnd Is mighty good and
there Is a lot of It. Most of these quarters
will be found to contain Just about pie
amount of tough land that the average
farmer would need and want for a smaji
pasture, while the balance .Is top-notch
plow land. The Vi land contains a little
more rough land on each quarter than the
high priced quarters. When we found a
doubtful quarter we simply slxed It up
carefully, and if It was more than half
plow land It was classified as A2, while
if it was more than half rough we classi
fied It as O or jri-SKlng land. Thus, It will
be sesn that a great deal of good agri
cultural land will be found In the graving
land classification at 25 cents to $2 psr
gcre, and many flr.e farms will be secured
from this clssslflcatlon."
