MESSAGE SENT TO CONGRESS Document Upholds Protective Princi ple But at the Same Time Most Ardently Supports Recommen dations of Tariff Board. Washington. President Tnft trans mitted to congress tho report ot the tariff board on schedules K. ..Accom panying the report, the chief execu tive sent to the national legislature the following message: To the Semite nnd Ituuxo ot UrpreHcntn tlvi'fi; In my nnnunl mcunrxKe to congrc-s, De cember, 1903, l.stntoil thnt under section 2 of the net of AllKimt 6. 1WJ. I liml np pointed a tariff board of three members to vo-opcrnto with tho stato dcpurtnirnt In the mlnilnlstratlon of the maximum and minimum elinmo of Hint act. to muse a glossary or encyclopedia of tho exist InK tariff so as to render Its terms Intel ligible to tho ordinary render, nnd then to Investigate Industrial rondltlons nnd costs of production at homo und abroad, with a view to determining to wluit ex tent existing tariff rntes actually exem plify the protectlvo principle, viz: That duties should bo made adequate, and only ndequnte, to equalize the difference In cost of production at homo and abroad. I further stated that I believed these In vestigations would be of great value as a basis for accurate legislation, nnd that I should from time to time recommend to congress tho revision of certain sched ules In accordance with the findings of the tonrd. In tho lust session of the Sixty-first con gress a bill creating a permnnent tariff board of five members, of whom not moro than threo should be of the same political party, passed each house, but failed of enactment becauso of Might dif ferences on which agreement was not reached before adjournment. An appro priation net provided that the permanent tariff board. If created by statute, should report to congress on schedule 1C In De cember, 1911. Presidential Appointments. Therefore, to enrry out so far ns lay within my power tho purposes of this bill for a permanent tariff board, I ap pointed In March, 1911, a board ot five, adding two members of such party affili ation as would have fulfilled the statu tory requirements, and directed them to make n report" to mo on schedule K of the tariff act In December of this year. In my message ot August 17. 1911, ac companying the veto of tho wool bill, I said that. In my judgment, schedule K should be revised and the rates reduced. My veto was based on the ground that, since the tariff board would make, In December, n detailed report on wool and wool manufactures, with special refer ence to the relation of the existing rates of duties to relative costs hero and abroad, public policy and n fair regard to the interests of tho producers nnd the manufacturers on the one hand nnd of the consumers on the other demanded that legislation should not be hastily en acted In tho absence of such Information: that I wns not myself possessed at Mint time of ndequnte knowledge of the facts to determine whether or not the proposed act wns in accord with my pledge to support n fair and reasonable protective policy; thnt such legislation might provo only temporary nnd indict upon a great Industry tho ovlls of continued 'uncer tainty. Advocates Reduction of Rates. 1 now herewith submit u report of tho tariff board on schedule K. The bonrd Is unanimous In Its findings. On the basis of these findings I now recommend that the congress proceed to n consideration of this HChcdulo with a view to Its rovl slnn and a general reduction of its rates. Tho report shows that the present method of assessing the duty on raw wool this Is. by the specific rate on tho grense pound, 1. ., unscoured operates to exclude wools of high shrinkage in scouring, but fine quality, from the American market and thereby lessens tho rango of wools available to the domestic manufacturer; that the duty'an unscoured wool of S3 cents per pound lstrohlbltory and operates to exclude the Importation of clean, low-priced foreign wools of In ferior grades, which are nevertheless val uable material for manufacturing, and which cannot be Imported In the greuso because of their heavy shrinkage. Such wools, If Imported, might bo used to dis place tha chenp substitutes now In use. To mako tho preceding paragraph a lit tle pjalner, take the Instance of n hun dred pounds of first-class wool Imported under the present duty, which Is 11 cents a pound. That would make the duty on the hundred pounds Sll. The merchan dise part of the wool thus Imparted is the weight of the wool of this hundred pounds after scouring. If the wool shrinks SO per cent., ns some wool does, then tho duty In such a case would amount to 111 on 20 pounds of scoured wool. This, of course, would be prohibi tory. If the wool shrinks only 60 per cent., It would be 111 on 00 pounds of wool, and this is near to the average of the great bulk of wools thnt are Imported from Australia, which Is the principal source of our Imported wool. Thee discriminations could be over coma by assessing a duty In ad valorem terms, but this method Is open to the ob jection, first, that It Increases administra tive difficulties and tends to decrease revenue through undervaluation; and. second, that as prices advnnce, the ad valorem rate Increnscs the duty per pound at the time when the consumer most needs relief and the producer can best stand competition; while If prices de cline the duty Is decreased at the time when the consumer Is least burdened by the price and the producer moat needs protection. Method That Meets Difficulty. Another method of meeting the diffi culty of taxing the grease pound Is to as cess a specific duty on greahe wool In terms of Its scoured content. This obvi ates the chief evil of the present system, namely, the discrimination due to differ ent shrinkages, and thereby tends great ly to equalise the duty. The bonrd re ports that this method Is feasible In prac tice and could be administered without great expense. The report shows In detail the difficul ties Involved In attempting to state In categorical terms the cost of wool pro duction and the great differences In cost as between different regions and different types of wool. It Is found, however, that, tsklng all varieties In account, the aver age cost of production for the whole American clip Is higher than the cost In the chief competing country by an amount somewhat less than the present duty. The report shows that the duties on noils, wool wastes, and shoddy, which are adjusted to tha rate of H cents on scoured wool, are prohibitory In the same tnsasure that tha duty on scoured woo) Is prohibitory. In general, they are as sessed at rates as high as, or htghat than, the duties paid on the clean content of wools aotually Imported. They should be reduced and so adjusted to the rat on wool as to bear their proper proportion to the real rate levied on the actuHl woo'. Imports. Some Duties Prohibitory. The duties on tunny classed of woo. manufacture are prohibitory and greatly In exerts of the difference In cost of pro duction here und abroad. This Is truu of tops, of yarns (with the exception of uoiHUd varus of a very hlh smile), and of low and medium giude (.loth of heavy weight. Un (ops nil to til vents a pound In value, und on yarns of 65 etits In value, th i nte Is 1W per cent, with coiteHpondlngly higher mu-a for lower values On cheap mid medium made cloths, the existing rates frequently run to l.Vi per cent. Htid un siime i heap goods to over M per cent. On Hie other hand, the Mndltws show that the duties which run to such high nnd valorem equivalents tire, prohibitory, kIih the goods are not Imported, but thnt tho pilcis of domestic fabrics are not raised ! the full amount of dutv. On a set of one jitnl samples of 16 Cngllsh fiibllt.it. which in u (omptetely excluded hv the present tarlfT rites. It was found that the total foreign value wns ftl.M: thu dutlei which would hue been assessed hud those fabrics been Iiiiix"! tr. t'6 IMS the foreign value plus the amount of the duty. $118.74; or a nominal dul of IS3 per rent, tn fact, howevir, practically Identical fnbrlcs ot domestic mako sold nt the same lime at 109.78, showing an enhanced price over the foreign market wilue of but ?7 per cent Would Reduce Duties. Although these duties do nut Increase prlies of ilomeHtlc goods by anything like their full amount, It Is none the less true that such prohibitive dutes eliminate tiie possibility of foreign competition, even In lime of scarcity, ho that they form n temp tntnn to monopoly und conspiracy to con trol domestic prices: that they nro much In extent of the difference In cost of pro duction heie and u broad, and thnt they Miould he reduced to n point which ac cords with the principle. Tim findings of the bonrd show thnt In this Industry the actual manufacturing cost, usldo from the question of the price of materials, Is muili higher in this coun try than it Is abroad; that tn tho making of yarn and cloth the domestic woolen nnd worsted manufacturer has In generul no ndvuntiigc In tho form of superior ma chine! y or more efficient Inhor to offset the higher wages paid in this country. The tlnds show thnt tho cost of turning wool Into yarn In this country Is ubout double that In the lending competing country, nnd thnt the cost of turning yarn Into cloth is somewhat more than double. Undei the protective policy n great Indus try, Involving the vvelfaro of hundreds ol thousands of peoplo has been established despite these handicaps. In recommending revision and reduc tion 1 therefore urge thnt action bo ta ken with these facts In mind, to tho end that nn Importnnt and established Indus trv may not be Jeopardized. The tariff board reports that no equita ble method hns been found to levy purely specific duties on woolen nnd worsted fab rics, nnd that, excepting for u compensa tory duty, the rato must be ad valorem on such manufactures. It Is Importnnt to realize, however, that no flat ad valorem rate on such fabrics enn lie mado to work fairly and effectively. Any single rato which Is high enough to equalize the dif ference In manufacturing cost at homo nnd abroad on highly finished goods In volving such labor would bo prohibitory on cheaper goods, In which tho labor cost. Is a smaller proportion of the total value. Conversely, a rate only ndequnte to equal ize, thin differenco on cheaper goods would remove protection from the flno goods manufacture, the incrcaso In which has been one of tho striking features of tho trado development In recent yenrs. I therefore reiommend thnt In nny revlsloit tho Importance of u graduated scale of ml valorem duties on cloths bo carefully oo.i slilond and applied. Praises Work of Committee. I venture to say that no leglshtlve body has ever had presented tn it n more, complete nnd cxhaustlvo report than thh on so dlfllcult nod complicated a subject; is the relative costs of wool and woolens the world over. It Is n monument to tho thoroughness, Industry, Impartiality and accuracy of the men engaged In Its ma king. Thoy were chosen from both polit ical parties, but have allowed no partisan spirit to prompt or control their Inquiries. They nro unanimous In their findings. I feel sure that after the report has been printed anil studied tho value of such a compendium of exnet knowledge In re spect to this scht'dule of tho tariff will convince nil of the wisdom of making such n board permanent, In order that it may treat each schedule of the tariff as It has treated this, and then keep Its bureau of Information up to dnte with current chnnges In the economic world. It Is no part of thu function of tho tar iff board to propose rates of duty. Their function Is merely to present findings of fact on which rules of duty may be fairly determined In the light of ndequate knowledgo In accordance with tho eco nomic policy to be followed. This Is what tho present report does. The findings of fact by the board show nmplo reason for the revision downward of schedule K, In accord with the pro tective principle, and present tho data as to relative costs and prices from which may be determined what rates will fairly equalize the -difference In production costs. I recommend that such revision be pro ceeded with at once. (Signed) WILLIAM II. TAFT. The White House. Dec. 20. 1911. Napoleon's, Model Library. In view of the recent talk aboul limiting the size of libraries by de stroying tho rubbish, it la Interesting to remember that Napoleon once tried to make a list of all the books In the world which were worth preserving. He believed when he sat down to bis task thut a thousand volumes would suffice; but the list grew under bJs hands and ultimately Included tbree thousand volumes. Even so, however, there were omissions of which Lord Roseber and Mr. Edmund Gosse. as well as the general reader, would have been likely to complain. When the emperor came to look over his first list, he found that he bad unaccount ably left out the Bible. In his second list ho forgot to mention not only Virgil and Shakespeare but very curiously Mollere. Nothing tha Matter. Canvasser Are you single Mnn at the Door Yes.
