.1 GAUZY SCHEME.
Congressman Fowler of !New Jer
sey has introduced a bill providing
tor the establishment of "a tariff
commission for the purpose of in
vestigating federal taxation, recom
mending changes theicin and adjust
ing any inequalities in existing law."
The bill provides that the commis
sion shall consist of seven members,
and tliat they shall hold ollice icx
cept the first seven, who go out one
every three years) for the term of
twenty-one years, drawing a salary
of 7,f)00 per year. It is further
provided that each commissioner be
furnished a secretary at a salary of
$1,200 a year, and that all expenses
of members be paid by the gov
ernment. The bill is a monstrosity, even
considered as a New Jersey product.
Its author has been very careful to
throw lots of safeguards around the
salary part of the bill, but does not
seem to realize how such a law would
place the people at the mercy of that
commission. The trusts and the
corporations wouldn't do a thing to
it but put it in their pockets inside
of six months, and long before the
first report was made out.
The commission may only recom
mend the levying of further duty or
tax, but may, with the approval of
the president, suspend a part or
whole of any tax. The junketing
features of commission work have
also been looked after carefully, for
it is provided that the commission
may visit diffcicnt sections of the
United States, and send a com
mittee, or committees, to foreign
countries for the purpose of collect
ing information.
One can hardly believe that Fowler
was in earnest when he originated
that bill, and yet it is barely possible
Fowler is afraid of losing his job as
congressman, and is arranging his
little commission with a view to be
ing appointed on it as a tail-cnder,
say for eighteen or twenty-one years.

The Oregonian states that its edit
or was not appointed through the
recommendation nor efforts of Sena
tor Mitchell; but that lie received
his appointment through the recom
mendation of Senators Williams and
Corbctt. In the vast array of the
Oregonian editor's shortcomings, it
is possible and probable that we
were mistaken. One finite being
cannot well be expected to keep
track of all of them, hence we con
clude the Oreyonian is right and we
are wrong with regard to his ap-
pointment. The "ileshy incubus" , T v 1 -j
letters and other interesting matters , Jl1I1c11T1 ClCQ
occurring about that time, probably
misled us. We wish to add that our
heretofore good opinion of Senator
Mitchell has been enhanced by the
Oregonian's correction, and an addi
tional icason lias been advanced why
Corbett should not bo seated.

With the close of tho Presidential Campaign THE TlilUUNE recogniues the

prominence, until another State or National occasion demands a renewal of the

to the present dav, and won its greatest victorios.
