In Ms iprh on the r.ed of Judicial reform th. President said In part: "One of the real raaiona of discontent In the character of th procedure and (ha alow administration of Justice In jar courts.

It Is the on thine;. In my Judg ment, that Is mora easily reached and more needed under our Government than any other. "Trial by Jury Is a stood thins. It brings Into tha administration of Jus tlce th people and In a popular gov ernment they fe4 safer. Hut trial by Jury, my friends, waa stated In th Constitution as a trial by Jury of th facts under Inspiration of a Judsta that had the power to tell the Jury what the law was, and had th power, to hold tha courtroom under his control and sot let. It ba taken away by tha counsel for tha prosecution or tha counsel for the defense And yet the popular suspicion of th Judaea has been such aa to take away from tha Judcea tha power they had under th nallh system, that wa have copied. Mere fewer eear. Th tendency of lentalatlon ought to be toward giving the Judges more power. 1 know It Is proposed to make a short cut. and cut hla head off with out any reason. Just because the people wish It. under the theory of a Judicial recall. I do not agree that the court should be killed, and that la what I think you are doing If you make every tenure of office dependent on an elec tion. xentlemen, thia won't do. Make your Judges responsible. Impeach them. Impeachment of a Judge would be a very healthy thins; In these times. I atrree. It la not necessary that wa should hare an Impeachment by th legislature If that la a clumsy method, a It Is. We ran hare soma other method of Investlaatins; the qualtnca lions of Judges, and 1( they aun t Oil the measure, to remove them. Hav soma sort of Judicial hearing In which the facta shall be considered." In hla speech toniaht I'realdent Taft declared that attacka made upon the tariff board were not candid crlllclama of that body's work baaed on the show ing mad, but "came from tha thought ess heat of political controversy and ught to hav no weight with unblaaed friends of the public weaL" Ihss ilaa Irian. In his speech on tha tariff board. Mr. Taft said In part: Tha issue which hai arisen In re peei to tte wisdom and propriety of the veto of th three tariff MKs which massed Congress at the lat session and were presented to the Ksecutlv for algnature' baa brought Into greater prominence than ever before the ques tion of trie necessity for a tariff board to advise the Kxecutive and Congresa as to the facts In reference to th pres. nt operation of an dieting- tariff and '.he future operation of a proposed tariff. "Th heated discussion that followed he passage of the I'avne bill developed among the people of thia country a deep feeling that never aatn ought tariff legislation b attempted without a ralrer and mora Impartial Investigation than had been possihie under the sys tem which prevailed In the making of Ihe McKlnley bill, the Wilson bill, th I'ir.glev bill, and th Payne bill. These Mils were prepared by men of great ability and large experience, but they were members of Congress. The Inves tigation devoted to th work did not exceed more tr.an a few months, tha witnesses who were called were gerer ally Interested In the matter and prone to give a. colored view of the facta In refererc to th protection needed, tha tariff Itself sal a complicated matter, the terms used were not easily under stood, and while the question was of the utmost Importance to the peopla at large, th people at large had Uttle op portunity to know what the changes were which were being actually effect si and what tlielr operation would ba either upon the Industries protected or upon the cost of living to the consum ing public. -Through a provision In th Fayn bill I was able to appoint a board of three, and with appropriations fur nished by Congress to direct them to nak a glossary of the tariff, or an encyclopedia, by whicn any tayroau might Inform htrreelf aa to the mean ing of the terms In th tariff and as to actual ad valorem rates Imposed, al though specific rates were provided, and all the other facts enabling on to take up a tariff and Intelligently to study Ita meaning. Perwsaaent Board Defeated. "The movement for th permanent organisation of a tariff commission, after the passage of a hill for that pur pose was put through both Houses, failed bj reason of a fil!uter and the shortness of the last session of th sixty-first Congress. Sufflclert money waa given me. however, to continue th board which I had already appointed. I Increased Its membership by two. In order to make It a non-partisan board, and I directed It to do the work that the bill which failed had prescribed for the permanent tariff board to be ap pointed thereun-ler. At th Instance of a lemx-ratic Senator, the permanent tariff board. In an appropriation bill which Is now law. was directed. If es tablished, to make a report on Sched ule K on recember 1 next. I Issued an order to the tariff board, newly consti tuted to prepare a report on Schedule K and fcheduie I. th woolen and th rotton schedules, by that date, which bring In th reports at th opening of the regular aesslon of Congress. "Tn order to secure an adoption of the Canadian reciprocity treaty. I called a special aesslon. At this special see slcn the three tariff bills were passed which I vetoed, and I vetoed them chiefly en tha ground that no time had been taken to Investigate the effect of tha ehangea which were proposed, and that they ought to await the corn lag In of th report. In Icember. when we should have full Information at least on t 4 question of wool and woolens and cotton manufactures. There were other grounds for withholding my approval from the bills, which are aet forth In th messages, but for the pre.ent I do not wish to consider them. "Tha mere fact that In the case of certain schedule ther ought to b re duction waa not a sufficient reason tor making anv kind of a reduction. Reve nue measures of this sort. In which th protective principle has heretofore been recognized and enforced, have a direct bearing upon the businesa and pros perity of tha country, and a substantial chenge In the rates ought not to be made without an eameet Inquiry as to the effect tiiat may b Had upon tha Industries affected. Board t Kxaert. "Th tariff board baa been referred to aometimes as a board of experta on the tariff. This Is hardly a correct de scription. It would be Impossible to secure a board all the members of which had expert knowledge upon all Ihe subjects of the tariff, for the 14 or IS erhed'itee are very broad In their scope and Include much of what Is manufactured or produced In the world. Indeed. It H by no means clear that it would be of advantage to have In tha board Itself men who are experta upon Ihe making and sale of particular artl rlea mentioned tn the- tariff. It Is far better to have tn th board men who are In the habit of making Investiga tions, who are In the habit of calcu lating costs, who are In the habit of digesting and analyilng great collec tion of evidence. I put at tha head of this board Professor Henry C. Emery, upon the recommendation of the presldenta of a number of unlveral. ties who were consulted. "The board la a board of the hlghe-et Intelligence and ability, and well quail fied bv their previous experience to act a Investigators, analysers of evidence, and Judges of Issues of tact. They are under Instructions to draw their con- clurions without respect to their effect. and I venture to say that there Is no board In the country less likely to ba Influenced by political or other Im proper consideration ohan the tariff board as It Is now constituted. "It Is said with respect to the Tnrlff Board that lta Investigations are not to be relied upon, because It must secure Its Information from Interested parties. and that no Information la available to It that la not available directly to tha ways and means committee, and that the committee can secure testimony of such people more effectively than the Tariff Board. Such a statement talis entirely to recognize the real char acter of the Investigations of the Tariff Board. Material secured by that board Is not In the natur of teatlmony of different parties examined aa to what they think on apy at these facta. It is In the result of an examination of th books and records of producers and manufacturers and a tabulation from these by th expert agents of the board. In short. It Is the substitution . of records compiled from the books of th concerns for th testimony of lndl rlduala. "I do not contend that the tariff can be taken out of politlrs. In the sens that It will never be made the subject of political discussion. Men differ rad lcally as to the economical wisdom of a protective tariff, or a tariff for rev enue only, and that must always be th aubject of political discussion. But there la a means of taking th ascer tainment of facts away from a tribunal like that of the ways and means com mittee, which Is necessarily hurried tn Its Inquiries and necessarily lacking tn thoroughness and the temper necessary to reach the most Impartial conclusions. "But, meantime. Congress has en abled me to organize the present com mission. They hav shown by tha work already don how thorough their future work will be. and they have demon atrated by what they hav don that tn material which they will place before the Congress and tha Executive In December with reference to Schedules K and I that Is. on woolena and on cottons will be of a more val uable character and one from which more valuable conclusions can be drawn than any report of th kind ver submitted to any legislative body. Meantime, attacks upon tha board aa on whose judgment la not worthy of consideration are born not of a candid consideration of thetr prevloua work, not of a frank acknowledgment of the ability of the -various members of the board to do work that they are charged to do. but tny rome from tha thoughtless heat of political contro versy, and ought to have no weight with unbiased friends of th public weal."
