them, the conclusion they came to
unanimously was a plan made out for
the underground workers In the Indus
try, a regular minimum wage.
Already a majority certainly SO
per cent of the coal owners of the
country had assented to the govern
ment's proposals and It did not Intend
that the resistance of what he hoped
was a dwindling minority of the em
ployers should unduly delay the at
tainment of an object which "we have
satisfied ourselves is consistent with
Justice and the best Interests of the
community."
Appeal Made to Miner's.
The Prime Sltnlster concluded hia
speech with an appeal to the miners to
allow reasonable latitude for discus
sion with respect to fixing the mini
mum wage for the different districts
and not to insist upon adherence to
the schedule adopted by the miners'
federation. He reminded them that If
they persisted in that course they as
sumed a terrible responsibility, al
though it was obvious that nothing;
short of a miracio could avert a na
tional coal strike.
That the government made some
progress today toward rendering the
strike brief is shown by the fart dis
closed by the official statement that
the Northumberland coal owners, who
were among those who rejected the
government's proposals yesterday, have
been persuaded to agree to the first
two clauses of these proposals, which
In effect declare the government's be
lief that the power of underground
workers to earn a reasonable minimum
wage should be secured by arrange
ments suitable to the special circum
stances In each district, udequate safe
guards being provided to protect the
people.
Worklngmea Are f oaf Ideal.
The miners are confident .the posi
tion taken by tlie government assures
tlieni ultimate victory. One of their
leaders said: "We have won. What
ever happens. We have forced the gov
ernment to recognize the principle of
minimum wage They may be unable
lo enforco it at present: there may be
hail-s before the owners climb down,
but sooner or later they will huve to
do It."
It was announced late tonight that
the conference of the Cabinet Minis
ters with the Xfiners' Federation would
continue tomorrow. Chancellor IJoyri
Heorge is drafting a minimum wage
bill, but It is said the government is
hopeful of being able to obtain the es
tablishment of a minimum wage with
out recourse to legislation, now that
the Welsh mlneowners see that they
are powerless to resist longer.
Some of the railways have sent out
notifications of curtailment of their
services because of the strike.

ULTIMATUM
TAFT WOULD AVOID
TARIFF FERMENT.
Americans Entitled to Fair
Measure of Protection, He
Says in Outlook.
ISSUE LEFT TO PEOPLE
Outlook Prlnls Authorized Interview
Outlining Views Prodneers Not
lo Fix Rates Based Vpon
Own Enrichment.
.NEW YORK, Feb. 29. Presi
dent Taft has given an author
ised interview on tariff making. It
is entitled "Common Sense Versus
Haphazard Methods," and appears in
the current issue of the Outlook.
It was secured by a special repre
sentative of the Outlook and Is In part
as follows:
"Not that I want to see the tariff
Issue made the mere football of poli
tics," President Taft explained. "We
have had too much of that already.
But I should like to have the people
of the United States pass their delib
erate Judgment on the Issue as It has
been made up within the last year
the difference between the common
sense way and the haphazard way of
making a tariff law.
Proteetloa to Be Fortified.
"As you know, I am a believer In
the Republican policy of protection. I
want to see It continued; but I also
want to see our party strengthen it
self by giving an underpinning which
cannot be swept away by the first
passing flood of popular sentiment."
"And this purpose could be accom
plished how?" I asked.
"First, by fixing the rates at fig
ures not dictated by domestic produc
ers for their own enrichment and
granted !n exchange for party support,
but based on the difference between
the cost of production here and the
cost of production abroad, ascertained
by means which preclude all doubt of
the substantial accuracy of the cal
culation. "Second, by establishing on a perma
nent foundation the machinery for col
lecting the data of cost, so that It can
be In continuous operation and its
work ever more and more easily done.
This machinery. I need not tell you,
should be in charge of a tariff com
mission or board, corresponding in a
general way with the non-partisan
Tariff Board we now have.
Board's Work la Only Mep.
"A great many people evidently
think that the whole purpose of a
tariff board Is to collect material for
a single tariff bill or series of. bills;
and, not unnaturally, those who wish
to see the Government economically
administered question the wisdom of
spending so much money and employ
ing so many experts for the prepara
tion of the tariff legislation of 1912.
In view of the possibility that all this
work may be torn up and done over
as soon as a new set of hands take
charge of our public affairs.
"Now, it is Just such a contingency
that the tariff board is designed to
avoid. The collection of data to guide
this year's explanation is only a first
step. From now on, if Congress con
sents to prolong its existence, the
Board will continue the collection of
data through the channels It has al
ready opened, and with the aid of men
trained in their duties."
I Brest la Prevented.
"You are not disheartened by what
some critics say about the danger of
keeping the country in a perpetual
ferment of nervous apprehension re
garding coming changes?"
"Nothing could do more to prevent
such a ferment than the very plan we
are now considering. Hitherto we
have seen the whole tariff structure
torn to pieces and rebuilt whenever
there has been a change of parties In
control at Washington and even some
times when the same party has re
mained responsible, but the personnel
of the group In command has changed.
Such overhauling.! are always accom
panied by a more or less violont con
vulsion of business, followed by a per
iod of stagnation while the outcome
continues at all In doubt.
"The new bill Is talked about for a
long time before it Is framed; there
are extended hearings in committee and
afterward secret sessions behind barred
doors and debates at some length on
the floors of Congress; and after all
these there is a possible interval of 10
days during which, if the bill is sus
pected of being distasteful to the Presi
dent, its fate at his hands remains un
certain. I waystesaatle Ways Are Bad.
"At the committee hearings ex parte
statements are presented by men pe
cuniarily interested in the several
trades and industries which are liable
to be affected by the proposed legisla
tion. In every instance the length of
time which has elapsed since the last
revision, and the changes of condi
tions in various lines of production and
commerce In the interval rouse a gen
eral dread lest there be heavy In
creases of duty In one quarter or deep
cuts In another.
"Unsystematic ways of patching a
tariff together open wide the avenues
for perjury and other fraud, for spe
cial pleadings, for appeals to the most
sordid political motives, for the exer
cise of gross favoritism and the wreak
ing of petty revenges, and have given
rise to charges of bribery and Investi
gations shadowing the good repute of
men high in the councils of the Nation.
"What have we to offer as a substi
tute? A system which keeps always
at the disposal of Congress, and open
to the people, a chart of the world's
producing activities, corrected almost
from day to day. The changes noted
in the foreign cost of production of
commodities are doubtless Individually
slight: In one case they may swing
pendulum-like, ending their agitation
at about the same point where It was
begun.
Klemeat ef Snrprlee Eliminated.
"In another, there msy be a steady
trend to one side for a while, due to
causes not dUacuit to discover Ihruuth
the machinery of the Tariff Board: but
by the time the divergency has be
come so marked and continued so long
as to make a change in this schedule
desirable, everybody will be prepared
for It and form an estimate Just about
how much change It ought to be. This
eliminates the now customary shock
of surprise.
"Thus we have a highly important
part of the woj-k of lawmaking brought
down to an almost automatic basis; at
any rate, we can always be sure of an
automatic warning of what had better
be done; and if Congress doesn't do
It, or the President withholds his ap
proval of a tariff amendment mani
festly right, the people will know
where to place the responsibility.
"At one stroke we can get rid of a
lot of the official scandals about log
rolling and favoritism and the charges
of perjury and bribery which were
freely bandied between the parties in
past times; make our tariff changes
gradual instead of precipitate, and par
tial instead of sweeping, and be able
to defend a rate, when fixed, by show
ing with substantial accuracy the meas
ure of protection it extends to the home
producer. Can any reasonable person
object- to such a logical and self-consistent
plan, as a substitute for our
present practice of revising the tariff
by rule-of-thumb? '
"Timorous Critics' Anserered.
' "But you are aware that a good many
protectionists object on prudential
gTrfunds to the sort of tariff you have
set up for your ideal."
"I 'am not unmindful of the argument
made by some timorous critics, that the
effect of reducing our tariff to what
they call the 'competitive' basis will
be that it will really drop below that,
and cause our markets -to be flooded
with cheaply made foreign goods, so
that our producers will be driven out
of business by insufficient protection.
Well, there are two answers to that,
"The first is that the platform whose
promises we are trying to fulfill does
not contemplate such a cut in rates
as would cripple any American indus
try. It takes account of the right
of the American producer to a reason
able profit. The difference between
the foreia-n producer's figures and those
of the American producer, which f
want to see used as the measure or
protection for the American, Is the
difference between what ach expects
to get for his goods, allowing for a
fair co.-npetitive profit for himself.
"The second answer is that Congress
is never so indifferent to the will or
the welfare of our people as to cut to
the auick in such matters. We are as
far from the bald ideal of free trade
as from that of the Chine.so wall. Each
has had its day and gone its way. It
Is everywhere recognized now that the
foreigner is not going to be turned
loose on our markets.
Echoes of Criticism Heeded.
"Doubtless you are still hearing
echoes of the criticism called forth by
your action on the wool and woolen
tariff bill, committing yourself to a
reduction and then vetoing the first
bill which offered you a substantial
one."
"Certainly, I hear them, but they
only make me wonder how their au
thors cau become so absorbed in one
phase of a subject as to lose all sight of
another, equally important and equally
pertinent to the discussion. You re
member, of course, the grounds on
which I vetoed the wool r.nd woolen
tariff, bill, knocked together as it was
with a few blows of the axe and mal
let. Instead of being laid oft with meas
uring instruments and adjusted as it
ought to have been.
"I frankly said I was unwilling to
sign such a bill on Insufficient knowl
edge, when, by waiting a few months,
we could have before us all the ma
terial gathered by the tariff board and
could pi-oceed with our eyes open.
"The tariff board brought in Its re
port, which I sent to Congress at once,
so that they could pet to work on a
wool and woolen bill. Up to date
this has not beeni forthcoming. They
have snitched their attention to an
other schedule and brought in a bill
to reduce the steel tariff, in which the
Payne act had already made some rad
ical cuts.
Blow at Trust Falls Short.
"As far as I can learn this has been
most widely exploited as a blow aimed
at the United States Steel Corporation.
If such was its purpose, it must have
fallen far short of the mark. The big
trust doesn't seem to care whether the
present tariff rates stay or go. The
fellows who do care are the smaller
ones the makers of machine tools and
the like, whose factories dot the coun
try here and there, and on whose suc
cess depends the prosperity of a hun
dred little towns.
"in a week or ten days the tariff
board will make its report on the cot
ton schedule and then it will have ex-

DR. WILEY NOT TO RESIGN
Cliief C'licmist Thinks Enemies
Must Have Started Story.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 29. Dr. Har
vey W. Wiley, chief chemist of the
Department of Agriculture, denied to
day he had any intention of resign
ing from office. He characterized as
"preposterous" and "pure fiction" the
rumors that he was considering such
action and that he probably would
come out with a statement attacking
Secretary Wilson and the Adminis
tration. Dr. Wiley declared the rumors un
doubtedly came from enemies who re
cently had attacked him in other ways.
As to the report that after resign
ing he would be a candidate for Vice
President on the Democratic ticket,
the doctor laughed and said:
"I could not run on that ticket. I
am a whole Democrat; that is, the oth
ers are only semi-Democrats. I believe
in the 'equal rights of man,' the right
of woman as well as man to vote.
Therefore, I am a whole Democrat."

Grows Hair
on Bald Heads
A Remedy That Costs Noth
ing if It Fails to Do
as Claimed.
P.esorcin is one of the latest and
most effective germ-killers discovered
by science, and in connection with
Bta Naphthol, also a powerful anti
septic, a combination is formed which
destroys the grms which rob the hair
clean and healthy condition o tho
scalp, which prevents the development
of new germs.
Pilocarpine is a well-known agent
for restoring the hair to its natural
color, where the loss of color has been
due to a disease. Yet it is not a col
oring matter or dye.
The famous Rexall "9.1" Hair Tonic
is chiefly composed of Resorcin, Beta
Naphthol and Pilocarpine, combined
with pure alcohol because of its cleans
ing and antiseptic qualities. It makes
the scalp healthy, nourishes the haJr,
revitalizes the roots, supplies hair
nourishment and stimulates a new
growth.
We want you to try a few bottles
of Rexall "93" Hair Tonic on our per
sonal guarantee that the trial will not
cost you a penny if it does not give
you absolute satisfaction. That's proof
of our faith in this remedy and it
should indisputably demonstrate that
we know what we are talking about
when we say that Rexall Hair
Tonic will grow hair on bald heads,
except of course where baldness has
heen of such long duration that the
roots of the hair are entirely dead, the
follicles closed and grown over, and
the scalp is glazed.
Remember, we are basing our state
ments upon what has already been ac
complished by the use of Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic, and we have the right to
assume that what it has done for hun
dreds of others it will do for you. In
any event you cannot lose anything by
giving it a trial on our liberal guar
antee. Two sizes. 50 cents and $1.00.
Sold only by the Owl Drug Co. stores
in Portland, Seattle. Spokane, San
Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles and
Sacramento.
