RAISED ONLY ON LUXURIES

TTASmvr.TOX. Aue. 5. President
bodying hi views of the. new tariff act.
The statement follows.
I have signed the Payne tariff bill
because I believe it to oe me '
: tVi rvirt of the Re
publican party to make a downward re
vision and to comply with the promises
of the platform as they have been gen
erally understood and as I interpreted
them In the campaign. .

classes of cottons. aiJ of which may be
treated as luxuries and proper subjects of
a revenue- tariii. mere jmvo j
few Increases In rates.
Substantial Revision Downward.
"There hava been a great number of
decreases In rates ana they constr
tute a sufficient amount to Justify the
statement that this bill Is a substantial
downward revision and a reduction of
AvMlvei rates.
"Thia is not a free -trade bill. It was
not Intended to be. The Republican party
did not promise to make a free trade
bllL It remised to make tne rates pro
teotlve. but to reduce them when they
exceeded the difference between the cost
of production abroad and here, making
allowances for the greater normal prom
on active investment here. I believe
that, while this excess has not been re
duced In a number of cases. In a great
majority the rates are such as are neces
sary to protect American industries, but
are low enough, in case or abnormal in
crease of demand and raising of prices.
to permit the possibility of importing the
foreign article ana wu to prevent ex
cessive prices.
Remove) Bars to Foreign Trade.
"The power granted to the Executive
under the maximum and minimum clause
may be exercised to secure the removal
of obstacles which have been Interposed
by foreign governments in the way of
undue and unfair discrimination against
American merchandise and products.
"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 Philppne Islands
In a healthy prosperity.
"The administrative clauses of the bill
and the Customs Court are admirably
adapted to secure a more uniform and a
more speedy final construction of the
meaning of the law.
Find Cost of Production.
"The authority of the President to use
agents to assist him in applying the max
imum and minimum sections of the stat
ute and to enable officials to administer
the law gives a wide latitude for the
acquisition, under circumstances favor
able to Its truth, of Information In re
spect to the price and cost of production
of goods at home and abroad, which will
throw much light on the operation of the
present tariff and be of primary impor
tance In the way of officially collected
data upon which future executive action
and executive recommendations may be
bared.
"The corporation tax Is a Just and
equitable excise measure, which it is
hoped will produce a sufficient amount
to prevent a deficit and which incidentally
will secure valuable statistics and Infor
mation concerning the many corporations
of the country, and will constitute an
important step toward that degree of
publicity and regulation which the ten
dency In corporate enterprises in the last
90 years has shown to be necessary."
NEW TARIFF BILL IS LAW
(Continued From First Pa--)
President was due to Representative
Payne's desire to convey the document
to the President personally.
After signing the general tariff blU Mr.
Taft signed the Philippine tariff bill with
a mother of pearl pen, which had been
sent him from the Philippine Islands for
the purpose. He wrote his name with
a flourish that was not in evidence when
he signed the general tariff bill.
The President left the Capitol at 5:50
to return to the White House through
a driving storm.
The signing of the Mil had . been pre
ceded by a busy day, both In the House
and the Senate.
Meeting at 10 o'clock, the Senate de
voted four hours to final debate on the
measure. At 2 o'clock the vote was
taken on the adoption of the conference
report. The Senate then adopted
Aldiich's concurrent resolution provid
ing for a reduction of duties on various
leather manufactures to meet the views
of Western Senators who had been de
feated In their efforts to retain protec
tion for hides.
McCumber's resolution providing ad
ditional rebate regulations for the bill,
amended m the Instance of McLaurin
to Include a provision for free cotton
bagging, was adopted without division.
Free Cotton Bagging Beaten.
The House devoted the last day of
the special session to perfecting the
tariff bill and transacting a mass of
routine business. Speaker Cannon an
nounced his committee appointments,
and they were received with varying
degrees of satisfaction.
The concurrent resolution amending
the leather schedule of the tariff bill
was adopted without a dissenting vote.
The McCumber-McLaurln resolution, re
vising the drawback provision and
placing cotton bagging on the free list,
previously adopted by the Senate, had
no such luck. On the statement of
Chairman Payne that It was not in
order, it was referred to the committee
on ways and means.
Before adjourning the House, the
Speaker thanked the members for their
service during the session. The Speak
er said:
Cannon Talks Compromise.
ftTreBtlnc. as w do. In the arsressts
90.000.000 peopl. scattered aa th. popula
tion is from the Atlantic Ocean to the
Ooldan Gate and from the northern bonn
rr t the anuihrn boundary producing as ,
we do one-third of all the products of all
the civilized world. It Is bat natural when
the chosen representatives of the great' body
of the people come together with, varying
Interests, with virile constituencies, that
they should dUagree as to the proper poll
cies that should govern the enactment ol
legislation. Out of that disagreement come
compromises. Legislation is lmpowoie ex
cept by the vote of a majority and the ma
toritv cannot ama without compromise.
The majority is responsible from time to
time for our legislation. we nave per
formed our dutv'to the best of our ability.
At tunes the contests have been warm, but
there is one good thing about representing
the American population. When the contest
is over and the legislation Is complete, un
less it Is quite objectionable, the people of
the country conform to the provisions of the
legislation and we move on.
And, as Representatives. whatever the
contests have been the feeling passes away
when the contest I over.
I thank you. and the hour has arrived
for adjournment, wisning you a u jui
to Tour homes, health and a safe return,
nothing is left for me, under the provision
of the concurrent resolution, but to declare
the first session of the 61st congress u
Journed without day.
The members did not Indulge in th
usual hilarity that marks the close of a
session, and they filed solemly out, ex
changing here and there a goodby and
best wishes for a pleasant vacation.

IOSE RACE AGAINST TARIFF
Atlantic Steamers Too Slow and Car'
goes Pay Extra Duty.
NEW YORK. Aug. 5. Nearly 20
trans-Atlantic steamships, which have
been bending their utmost efforts In
response to orders by wireless to reach
New York before the new tariff law
went Into effect, lost the race at 4:30
this afternoon, when the Customs-
House closed and the last payment of
duty under the old law was registered.
Importers who have merchandise .on
these boats will be losers to the extent
of between $100,000 and $200,000. The
vessel that lost by the narrowest mar
gin was the Hamburg-American liner
Pennsylvania, with a cargo of wines
and merchandise which must pay $20.-
000 extra duty under the new law.
Fast scout tugs had been out all day
awaiting the big liner's arrival with
orders to take otr ner captain ana
hurry him to the Customs-House with
the ship's manifest. But when 4:30
o'clock came, the Pennsylvania was 60
miles from port.

Even Heyburn, who a week ago
threatened to vote against It, fell Into

If his vote would have been decisive.
he said, he would have voted against It,
for he regarded the Dingley law as a
better measure.

OREGON MEN ARE
WELL CURED FOR
Hawley and Ellis Get Good
Committee Places for
Coming Session.
POINDEXTER IS PUNISHED
Insurgent From Washington Is Sent
to Idleness Humphrey Will
Care for Oregon River
Interests.
ORBGONLVN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Aug. 5. Surprises were In store
for Northwestern Congressmen today
when Speaker Cannon announced his com
mittee appointments. All but Polndexter,
the insurgent, were well provided for, but
Polndexter got absolutely the worst deal
of any new member in the House.
Membership on the rlvere and harbors
committee, sought by Ellis, Hawley and
Humphrey, was awarded to Humphrey.
because he Is senior member from the
Northwest. After his -appointment Hum
phrey assured the Oregon members that
he would work as diligently for the Inter
ests of the Columbia and for purely Ore
gon projects as if he represented Oregon
rather than Washington. He believes In
Improving all navigable waterways of the
Northwest, and will show no favoritism
as between Washington and Oregon.
Ellis Is Honored-
Representative Ellis was placed on the
ways and means committee, the highest
committee of the House, and while prob
ably it will have no further tariff legis
lation to consider this Congress, It will
etlll handle all legislation affecting reve
nue, custom service, etc. Membership on
it carries distinction at any time. In ad
dition, Ellis Is made a member of the
committee on the election of President
and Vice-President and Representatives
In Congress.
Representative Hawley retains his place
on the committees on agriculture and
claims, where he did effective work last
Congress, and In addition is placed on
the committee on labor.
Hawley Is Advanced.
It was rumored that Hawley had been
chosen for chairman of the claims com
mittee, hut this proved Incorrect. He
moves fTom ninth place to fifth, however,
and is still in position to take care of
Oregon's Civil War claims next session.
Speaker Cannon insisted upon his going
on the labor committee, because strong
men are needed to handle Intelligently
legislation affecting the labor Interests of
the country. With three active commit
tees, Hawley Is well cared for.
Polndexter was given three dead com
mittees, ventilation and acoustics, Paclfia
railroads, and industrial arts and exposi
tions. In addition to his place on rivers
and harbors, Humphrey retains his old
nlace on merchant marine, where he can
next session take care of his new ship
subsidy bill.
Of all new members. Hamer of Idaho
Is best provided for. He goes on the pub
lic lands committee, and In addition Is on
the postof flees committee.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6. Alton B. Parker,
Democratic candidate for President in
1SKM, made the following statement today
on the new tariff bill:
The opinion that the RepubUcan plat
form's promise of a revision of the tariff
was intended to deceive the people is now
fully justified. .By bold and impudent
sneech. Senators and members of Con
gress nave asserted that the plank prom
ised a revision, not a reduction of tariff
duties. Their only reward is public con
tempt, for their arguments demonstrate
that the purpose of the tariff plank was
to cheat and defraud the voters. And at
the same time the action of the major
ity in Congress makes them parties to
the fraud in that they sought to con
summate it.
'The President has made a strong ef
fort to secure at least an appearance of
party honesty, but the little he has
accomplished has been at great cost,
for one more precedent is created of
an executive use of the power to coerce
a co-ordinate and independent depart
ment of the Government, in violation of
the spirit of the constitution.
"inil after alL what shall this un
seemly struggle to gain or retain
largesse avail the tariff barons In the
end? Only a little for it will be found
that this tariff act does not, like its
predecessors, close the subject for a
period of years: but Instead it and the
circumstances surrounding its making
will but serve to open again the fight.
The final outcome will wipe out the un
just results. If not th stain of "the
fraud."
