The President. In hla veto message,

American Industries
I have always regarded this language as
fixing the proper measure of protection at
the ascertained difference between the cost
of production at home and that abroad and
have construed the reference to the profit
of American Industries aa mwnawi

Importance of Including In the American
coat a manufacturer's or producers profit,
reasonable, according to the American
standard.
Exact Information EeeeatlaL
In accordance with a promise msde In the
same platform. I called an extra session of
the gist Congress at which a general re
vision of the tariff was made and adopted
In th. Payne bilL It wae contended by
tboae who opposed the Payne -bill that the
extatlng rates of the Dlnaley bill were ex
cessive and that the rates adopted In the
revising statute were not suflclently reduced
to confo-m to the promised xntssure.
The great difficulty, however. In discus
sing the new rates adopted, was that there
waa no means available by which Impartial
persona could determine what. In fact, was
the difference In cost of production between
the products of this country and the same
products abroad. The American publlo be
came deeply Impressed with the conviction
thai. In order to secure a proper revision
ef the tariff In the future, exact Informa
tion aa to the effect of the new rates must
be had and that the evil of log-rolling or
a compromise between advocates of differ
ent protected Industries In fixing ut'es
could be avoided and the Interest of the
consuming publlo could be properly guarded
only by revising the tariff on. schedule t
a time. . .
Tariff Board Created.
To help these reforms for the future t
took adxantage of a clause In the Pavyi
'tariff bill enabllna me to create a tarifr
board of three members and directed them
to make a glossary and encyclopedia of data
need In tariff and eecure Information aeto
the comparative eoet of production of du
tiable articles, under the tariff at home and
abroad. . .

Real Advance: Being Made.
The President, after quoting from a
report of the Tariff Commission Asso
ciation, commending the work of tha
Tariff Board, continue:
I have thus reviewed the history of the
moven.ent for the establishment of a tsrlff
cAmm'sneion or ooard. In order to show that
real advance and reform In tariff-mnklng
are to be found In the acquiring of accurate
and Impartial Information ss to the effect
of tha proposed tariff chan.es under each
schedule bsfor they are adopted, and fur
ther to show that If delay In the pasaace
of a Bill to am ."ml schedule K csn be had
until December. Conaress will then be tn
poeeeselon of a full and satisfactory report
uoon the whole schedule.
This brings me to the constderstlo. of the
terms of the bill presented for niv approval.
Schedule K Is the most complicated sched
ule In the terlff. It classifies raw wool
with different rstes for different clsases: It
affords the manufacturer what Is called a
compensatory duty to make up for the In
creased price ef the raw material he has
to use, due to the rate on raw wool, and
for the ehrlnkage that takee place In scour
ing the wool for menufsctures: and it
Ives him. In addition, an ad valorem duty
to protect mm attain xi xoreiau competition
with ehean tabor. The usages which pre
vail In soourlns the wool. In making tha
yarn and In the manufacture of cloth pre
sent a complication of technical detail that
prevents anyone not especially Informed
.nnninlnr wools; roaring and manufacturing
from understanding the echedule and the
effect Of cnanges Ul m .arious raise .

Excesslv. Rat. Admitted.
If there ever was a schedule that needed
Consideration ana inveeiiBauan ana ei.ix.r
... .-...1. nation by experts before Its amend'
ment It le schedule K. There Is a wlde
... belief that many rates In the present
schedule are too high and are In excess of
ny needed protection for the wools-rowers
or manufacturers. I share this belief end
have eo stated In several publlo addresses.
But I have not sufficient data on which I
can Judge bow schedule K ought to be
amended or bow its rates u.ns w re
duced. In order that the new bill shall fur-
nleh the proper measure oi p ---no
more. Nor have 1 sources of Information
which sstlsfy me that the bill P"11""
to me for signature will accomplish this
result. . ... ,
The parllsmentary history of the bill IS
not reassuring on this point. It was Intro
duced and passed In the House as provid
ing a tsrlff for revenue only and wltn tne
avowed purpose of departing from a protec
tive tariff policy.
The rate, proposed In th. various
measures Introduced in Congress are
cited, the message continuing:
In conference between the two houses,
the rate on all classes of raw wool was
1 . . rt .... .hi. K.in. an Increase

was adopted without reference to or con
