Tariff Board Discussed.
President Taft in his speech at the Col
iseum this evening discussed the history
and work of the tariff board.
The president told of the conditions
under which the tariff board was brought
Into existence, arising out of the neces
sity ,of better and more authoritative
information on the topics Involved In
tariff legislation. His veitoe of the
bills passed by the democrats at the ex
tra session were referred to, and the
provision of the constitution which con
fers that power on the president quoted.
His disapproval and veto of the measures
was based on their inadequacy and In
completeness, and their failure to ac
complish what they proposed. The ptesl
dent continued:
"The reform aimed at in the organiza
tion of a tariff board for the purpose of
making an Impartial Investigation Into
such facta as are relevant to these issues
ls.of the highest importance to the coun
try. In the long run I believe It be of
higher lmportanoe than the reduction of
any particular- schedule. The agitation
for such a board la the last two years
has been greatly In th publio interest,
and now to throw away the benefit se
cured by this public movement toward a
better method of readjusting the tariff
Is to take a retrograde step. '
The tariff board has been refered to

Minnesota. H. B. A. At yout local druggist's,
sometimes as a board of experts on the
tariff. This is hardly a correct descrip
tion. It would be Impossible to secure
a board all the members of which had
expert knowledge upon all the subjects
of the tariff, for the fourteen or fifteen
schedules are very broad in their scope
and include much of what Is manufac
tured or produced in the world. Indeed,
it is by no means clear that it would be
of advantage to have in the board It
self men who are experts ifpon the mak
ing and sale of particular articles men
tioned in the tariff. It Is far better to
have in the board men who are in the
habit of making Investigations, who are
in the habit of calculating costs, who are
in the habit of digesting and analyzing
great collections of evidence and reduc
ing them to Intelligent conclusions which
may be stated for the benefit of those
who Intend to' use them. That Is the
profession of trained economists, and
therefore I put at the head of this board
Prof. Henry C. Emery, upon the recom
mendation of the presidents of a num
ber of universities who were consulted.
Mr. Alvin Sanders was the editor of the
Breeders' Gazette, a man ot the highest
standing, who had devoted his life to the
study of the agricultural Interests of this
country, while Mr. Reynolds had been
four yeara ah assistant secretary of the
treasury under Mr. Roosevelt. In charge
of customs, and had become very famil
iar with the operation of the existing
tariff and Its construction. To these thaae
1 added Professor Page of the Lnlversity
of California, and then of the University
pf Virginia, a well-known economist, with
the same general standing as that or tio
feasor Emery; and Mr. W. M. Howard,
a former democratic congressman from
Georgia and admittedly one of the ablest
and' fairest members of the half dozen
congresaes in which he served. The
make-up of the board insures nonpartisan
action. The truth U, that with the ex
ception' of Mr. Howard and of Mr. Rey
nolds, the board may be said to have
no political affiliations at all.
Highest Iutelllgeuee and Ability.
"The board la a board of the highest
Intelligence and ability, and well qualified
by their experience to act as Investigators,
malysers of evidence, and Judges of Is
sues of fact. They are under instructions
to draw their conclusions without respect
o their effect, and I venture to say that
there is no board in the country less
.Ikely to be Influenced by political or
other Improper considerations than the
tariff board as It is now constituted. Even
the attacks made upon It, prompted by
the heat of political controversy and Im
patience at my vetoes, can net turn it
from a Judicial attitude toward all Ques
tions that it Is now considering.
"In preparation for this work, Prof.
Emery vlalted Europe and devoted a very
considerable time to consultation with bu
reaus In Germany, In Austria, arid In
other countries In which similar bureaus
were engaged in this same work. He
made a full report to the secretary of
the treasury, and, proceeding upon these
llius ot experience which were pointed out
by the reports of there foreign bureaus,
the board has organised an office In
which they employ eighty pert-ons, of
whom many are technical experts In the
Investigations that they are making and
reporting to this tribunal for Its analysis
and consideration.
Comparative Tost Estimated.
"They were called upon to make a re
port upon the comparative cost of the
manufacture of print paper In Canada
and In Ihls country. They first made a
preliminary report, and then thoy made
a final report, and I venture to say that
never before has a report so complete, so
comprehensive, and so satisfactory as to
the comparative cost of any product in
two countries been made as this upon the
pulp and news-print paper. The data on
pulp and paper Included In the report
were secured from fifty-three ground
wood mills, twenty-five sulphite mills and
thirty-elg'ht news-print mills, making a
total of 116 mills, and representing 840,478
tona of newt-print paper, or 80 per cent
of the news-print paper production of the
United States. The data for Canada
were taken from thirteen ground-wood
mills, five sulphite mills and seven news
print paper plants. Reports were secured
covering 7S.3 per cent of the news-print
paper, 6U.2 per cent of the ground-wood
and 65.7 per cent of the sulphite-pulp ca
pacity In Canada. All of thaae figures.
Including those from Canada, were se
cured directly by representatives of the
board from the books of the different
companies. Thty prepared exact sched
ules. Including all essential Items of equip
ment, cost, and wages, and for each of
the companies Included in the tables
they have the original schedules covering
all items In detail. They first show the
production of pulp and paper in the
United States; then the cost of production
in the United States, with an explanatory
statement and tables and comment; then
the result of the Canadian Investigation
of the cost of production of pulp and
paper there. In the fifth chapter Is a
comparison of costs In the United States
and Canada. The sixth chapter treats of
the Intermediate profits and cost of wood;
the seventh chapter of the pounds of ma
terial per ton of news-trlnt paper; the
eighth chapter of the efficiency of equip
ment In paper mills In the United Slates
and Canada; the ninth chapter, of the
price of news-print paper; in the tenth
chapter la a discussion of Investment and
depreciation; In the eleventh chapter are
shown variations In cost of production
over a period of ten years; In the twelfth
chapter are set forth the amount, vaiue,
and sources of wood-pulp Imports Into
the United States, and in the thirteenth
chapter there Is a full discussion of the
wages and hours of employment. It is a
volume of 134 printed pages, with tables
showing exactly the elements that go
Into the cost of making paper in Canada
and making paper In this eountry, and
disclosing both what the rates of wages
are in the two countries and also what
the labor cost Is In the making of a ton
of news-print paper in the United Htates
and In Canada, and showing. In other
words, the efficiency of the labor In the
two countries, as well as the actual
amount paid per hour or per day.
Complete aad Eiaet.
"A study of this report will satisfy any
candid. Impartial observer of the com
pleteness with which It la possible to se
cure Information without the Inquisitorial
examination under oath, and the greater
accuracy that may he had la a quiet
friendly examination of the books than
by a necessarily antagonistic cross-examination
of the proprietor of the busi
ness when on the stand. The report
vindicates the Judgment of the European
authorities, whom Prof Emery con
sulted, that the use of formal cross-examinations
to secure facts In regard to
the cost of the manufactured articles
Is not the best course for getting at the
facts.
"It la said with respect to the tariff
board that Its Investigations are not
to be relied upon, because it must se
cure Its Information from Interested par
ties, and that no Information Is available
to it that Is not available directly to the
ways and means committee, and that the
committee can secure testimony of such
people more effectively than the tariff
board. Such a statement fails entirely
to recognize the real character of the
Investigations of the tariff board. Ma
terial secured by that board Is not In the
nature of testimony of different parties
examined as to what they think on any
of these facta It is In the result of an
examination of the books and records
of producers and manufacturers and a
tabulation from these by the expert
agents of the board, resulting In perfectly
definite and precise Information as to the
actual results given by the best Industrial
or commercial operations for a given
time. In short, It is the substitution of
records compiled from the books of the
concerns for the testimony of individuals.
Answer to Objections.
"Then again It said that other bureaus
or agencies of the government longer es
tablished and of better organization have
made, or are making, all the Investiga
tions of this kind necessary. The maker
of such an objection fulls to appreciate
the marked difference between the work
of the board and most other agencies of
the government. The work of the tariff
board Is not primarily statistical. Other
agencies of the government, especially In
the Department of Agriculture and the De
partment of Commerce and Labor, carry
on statistical Investigations of much
importance, much of which has to be used
by the tariff board, and In all cases the
tariff board endeavors to avoid any du
plication of work of this kind. But such
statistical work as to production, imports
and exports, number of people employed,
earnings per week, etc.. are a very small
part of the Investigation necessary for
a consideration of tariff problems. No
agency of the government has ever done
even statistical work primarily with a
view to considering the effects ot tariff
rates on producers and consumers. For
Instance, there Is much printed material
on the subject of wages In. different lines
ot Industry, but practically none of this
la of much value for a dlxcusston of tar
iff questions, since wages per day or per
week signify little as to the actual labor
cost per unit of article. The Investiga
tion now being made by the tariff board
Into the textile Industries will develop a
knowledge regarding wages In relation to
the amount of output, efficiency of la
borers aud machines In this and leading
foreign countries of a character never
made public before and based on the ac
tual wages paid and output secured of the
thousands of laboiers and thousands of
machines, as shown by the pay rolls of
the comDsnlos checked up by the earn
ing!) of Individual men.
"The bureau of corporations tin In
some raes mnde very enreful exuni nation
Into costs of production. These Investi
gation!", however, were not undertaken
prlmarllv with reference to their hearing
on tariff legislation, o far h they
cover the ground necessary for such pur
pose, there will be no need of this work
being duplicated by the tariff hoard. This
Is especially true of the metal schedule.
it Is only necessary to supplement this
material by such other Information hs
may be vitHl to a consideration of the
tariff proper.
Other Work Mot Dnpllenled.
"The best way to understand the
pecullnr character of the Investigations
of the tariff board Is 'to compare their
published report on pulp nnd news-print
raper either with the statistical work of
other government agencies rewarding this
Industry or with the hearings before the
ways and means committee. It Is shown
that this investigation does not In any
way duplicate the statistical work of the
other departments, but that Its scope Is
nulte different, and yet the Investigation
develops data essential to an understand
ing of Industries from a point of view of
the tariff.
"It will also appear that the method of
Investigation Is quite different from that
Of a congressional committee, and the In
formation afforded much more detailed In
character, and, on the other hand. Is
much more condensed than the Infor
mation developed by the verbal exami
nation of witnesses. The work of the
board tip to date In the way of detailed
Inquiry has been through several dozen
agents working on the books of persons
engaged In the production or manufac
ture of the articles In question In foreign
countries and abroad. What congressional
committee ever even attempted such an
Investigation, covering, as It mimt. mnhy
months of ttmeT Besides this work of
Investigation, there has been much work
done In the preparation of a glossary for
many of the schedules covering not only
the important statistics but a description
of each article enumerated in the tariff,
with an explanation of its relation to
the Industry, its importance to producers
and consumers, and the nature of the
tariff duty Imposed. Besides this,
technical experts have been employed to
make special reports on special schedules
of the tariff, which will serve as a baBls
for later Investigation of a mor; detailed
character. Preliminary work of this kind,
for instance, has been done in the case of
lion and steel, which will be the next sub
ject of inquiry after the completion of the
work on cotton and woolens.
"It has been said that members of the
ways and means committee are them
selves experts on tariff matters, and that
they have had years of dealing with tariff
statutes. The character of the Investi
gations made by members of the ways
and means committee everybody knows.
It consists in calling men engaged In the
business and inviting their opinion as to
the necessity for a tariff and as to
whether It should be lowered or raised.
Such investigations are the very ones
which have met tha criticism of the pub
lic and hava given rise to a demand for
a more scientific and Impartial method of
securing the facts upon the legislation
which is to be passed.
Report on I'nlp Illuminating-.
"It Is objected that with reference to the
cost of production there can be no scien
tific conclusion. If by this Is ment that
thera will be found to be no exact mathe
matical measure of the difference In the
cost of production of goods In one coun
try and of goods In another, it is true.
Conditions vary In different states, in dif
ferent provinces and In different counties.
They differ between different manufac
turers, and the difference in the cou of
production between two countries is tl Ye-
Ifore a difference that cannot be stated
with deflnlteness. It must be a variable
amount, and must be so stated; but when
'thus stated with variations It may, never
theless, be accurate and Just, and ought
to be, so that the tariff can be adjusted
to the facts as they are rather than to
the facts as interested parties would state
them. The report of the board on the
paper and pulp industry was illuminating.
It gave the average cost of production,
with all the elements; showed how It dif
fered between the mills In the same coun
try and between the mills of the two
countries, and demonstrated that on the
whole the real average difference in the
cost of production was measured by the,
difference in the cost of raw material,'
the pulp wood. In the two countries. It
Is such conclusions which, with the means
of securing them, the American people
have the right themselves to have, and to
Insist that their representatives In con
gress shall have, before making radical
changes In existing legislation.
"I do not contend that the tariff can be

taken out of politics, in the sense that tt
will never be made the subject of political
discussion. Men differ radically as to the
economical wisdom of a protective tariff,
or a tariff for revenue, only, and that
must always be the subject of political
discussion. But there Is a means of tak
ing the ascertainment of facts away from
a tribunal like that of the ways and
means committee, which Is necessarily
hurried In Its Inquiries and necessarily
lacking in thoroughness and the temper
necessary to reach the most Impartial
conclusions. It Is possible to transfer
those Investigations heretofore made by
the ways and means and fiance commit
tees to a tribunal which will make a thor
ough and impartial inquiry. I do not
mean to say that the tariff board which
I have appointed is constituted by tho
best method possible. I do not think it
is. I think it would be better to have it
appointed by the president, with the con
firmation of the senate, and to make It
Independent of the president and of con
gress as far as that may be possible
under our By-Mem. I do say that the
present board Is as Independent as any
board can be, but I admit that its method
of appointment Is such that conditions
might arise having a tendency to rob It
of Its Impartial character. Therefore, I

I was capable, the establishment of a
