WASHINGTON. Auf. B. (Special Tele-gram.)--Speaker
Carnon. In his announce
ment of the house committees, haa done
what many disinterested persons expected
tie would do take car of his friends and
put his enemies In positions where they
could do least harm. Geographical condi
tions have not entered very largely In the
make-up of the committee chairmanships
and committee places, for In a number of
cases two men from a state are given
places on the same committee, and of such
ranking Influence that either one or the
other may see the chairmanship just ahead
If the whirligig of pnlletlcs should brine
about the undoing of those who take prece
dence. The speaker haa not forgotten the
fight at the beginning tof this extraordin
ary session upon himself, and for the
change In rules he has punished those who
voted against him and those who Toted for
t larrer powers In the house and less auth
ority vested In the committee on rules.

ures, private land claims and revision of
the laws. Norrls haa not fought "Uncle
Joe" particularly, but bas fought like a
Spartan against the principle which
Speaker Cannon represented, namely leg
islation by rule. As one of the chief In
surgents he has drawn lightning and It
hit him.- But he la not alone In that par
ticular, for Cooper of Wisconsin, former
chairman of the committee on Insular af
fairs, gives way to Olmatead of Pennsyl

of the ship subsidy to suit "Uncle Joe." If
the records ar to b believed, for Hln

new committee assignments, except that he
advanoes from sixth place on irrigation of

that he did In th Sixtieth congress.
Hitchcock has been very greatly ad

Irrigation of arid lands.

HInshaw haa not atood strong with Can

New Sample Ballots Good
for Kites, but What Else?
"Tha new sample ballots would make
good kit paper for the kids," says Frank
Dewey, deputy county clerk, "but I can't
see that they are going to do anybody else
any good."
By the new primary law It Is necessary
that every name filed for every office be
upon every ballot. Each voter geta a bal
lot with a column for every party and he
can choose hi party when he starts to
vote. Having chosen he must stay In one
column or th vote la invalid. The or
dinary ballot for a single party la six by
about thirty-eight inches at the longest.
Thl bug aheet will be 80x3 inches, mure
than a squar yard' of paper.
"In printing these big ballot, aays Mr,

LIKES PHILIPPINE SECTION
Declares It Will Result In Great
Benefit to Inlands Corporation
Tax Also, He Says, Will Prove
Beneficial Meaaare.
WASHINGTON. Aug. B.-Fresldent Taft
tonight gave out a statement giving his
views of the new tariff act, which he
designates as the "Payne bill," In accord
ance with the past custom of giving first
recognition to the framer of the measure
In the house of representatives.
The president declares that, while th bill
Is not perfect by any means, nor "a com
plete compliance with promises made,
strictly Interpreted," It Is, nevertheless, a
sincere effort on the part of th party to
make a downward revision and to comply
with the promises of the platform.
Result of Sincere Effort.
The statement In full follows:
"I have signed the Payne tariff bill be
cause I believe It to be the result of sincere
effort on the part of the republican party
to make a downward revision, and to com
ply with the promises of the platform aa
they have been generally understood, and
as I Interpreted them In the campaign be
fore election.
"Thus la not a perfect tariff bill, nor a
complete compliance with the promises
made, Btrlctly Interpreted, but a fulfillment
free from criticism in respect to a subject
matter Involving many schedules and thou
sands of articles could not be expected.
It suffices to say that except with regard
to whisky, liquors and wines, and in re
gard to silks and as to some high classes
of cotton all of which may be treated as
luxuries and proper subjects of a revenue
tariff there have been very few Increases
in rates.
Many Real Decreases!
"There haa been a great number of real
decreases in rates, and they constitute a
sufficient amount to Justify the statement
that thin bill Is a substantial downward
revision, and a reduction of excessive rates.
"This is not a free trade bill. I t waa
not Intended to be. The republican party
did not promise to make a free trade bill.
It promised to make the rate protective,
but to reduce thm when they exceeded the
difference betwen th ooat of production
abroad and here, making allowance for
the greater normal profit on active Invest
ments here. I believe that while this ex
cess has not been reduced In a number of
cases In a great majority the rate are
such as are necessary to protect the Ameri
can Industries, but are low enough In case
of abnormal increase of demand, apd rais
ing of prices, to permit the possibility of
Importation of the foreign article and thus
prevent excessive prices.
"The power granted to the executive
under the maximum and mlnmum clause
may be exercised to assure the removal of
obstacles which have been Interposed by
foreign governments In the way of undue
and unfair discrimination agalnat Ameri
can merchants and products.
Like Philippine Bectlon.
"The Philippine tariff section I have
struggled to secure for ten years past, and
It gratifies me exceedingly by my signature
to give It the effect of law. I am sure it
will greatly Increase the trade between the
two countries and It will do much to Build
up the Phllipplnea In a healthful prosper
ity. "The authority of the nresMont t ....
agents to assist him in the application of
the maximum and minimum sections of
the statute, and to enable officials to ad
minister the law, gives a wide latitude for
the acquisition under circumstances favor
able to its truth, of Information in respect
to the price and cost of production nf imuii
at home and abroad, which will thiow muoh
light on the operation of the nrrnf tsHff
and be of primary Importance In securing
ornciaiiy collected data upon which future
executive action and executive recommen
dation may be based.
Praia (or Corporation Tax.
The corporation tax Is a Just and eqult-
aDie excise measure, which, it is hoped
will produce a sufficient amount of revenue
to prevent a deficit and which Incidentally
will secure valuable statistics and Informa
tion concerning the many corporations of
th country, and will consUtut an lmpor
tant step toward that degree of publicity
and regulation which th tendency in cor
porate enterprises In the last twenty yeara
has shown to be necessary.
lowed for the run and stop on each shift
ing or tne names.' it will take 63S hours, or
more than twenty-two days, to get them
printed. Three presses will be kept going
night and day until the prlmarlea In order
to get them done In time.
"As printed the ballots ar placed In six
teen piles, each pile representing on man
at the head of tit longeat list of candi
dates. From these they will be gathered In
aeries so that each precinct will get an
equal share of th ballots headed by each
candidate.
"Mr. Haverly and I will hav to b at
th printing office to O. K. every change
in th forms and that means that w will
be at th offlc all th Urn, night and day
from now until th printing Is don.
"W have spent a great deal of time
trying to flgur out soma way of running
them off with leas trouble, but It can't be
done. As fsr aa I can se th sise of the
ballot will not make it any mor efficient.
If the bos get on to th acheme they
