as the belm&inen for the Taft presi
dential candidacy ship, important nn
tiounl development followed a sorics
of conferences betwech President
Taft and the Itepubhcmt leaders to

was tho selection of I.oeb, collector
of the xrt of Now York and former
private secretary to President Itoose
vclt, to have charge of the Taft cam
paign for the New York delegation
to tho national convention in Chicago
no.t year. Senator Hoot wns holcct
ed to havo charge ot fiumioing the
campaign. Hoot' tak will Consist
largely in allaying the nntiigonUin of
bUMiioss circles to the present admin
istrntion, which has arisen because
ot tho recent trust prosecutions.
I.oeb will receive no political title
in his leadership of the New York
delegation.
The conference of tho lenders was

brotlfor, Henry W. Tuft. Tho fict
callers woro William Uarnos, Jr..
chairman o ftbo New York state re
publican committee, and Otto Dam

derstood that President Tuft declared
nunseit at tho couleieneo to bo in

mend Scientific Duties. -.,
, WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 20.
Declaring that many schedules of tho
Pnync tariff lav arc "prohibitive,"
the report of 'flic tariff board on
schedule K the wool schedule was
submitted to congress today by Pres
ident Taft. Regarding the difference
in cost of production at homo and
abroad, the report declares that in
nearly every woolen product, from
dirty fleece to finished worsted, it,
costs more to produce wool ami)
woolen goods in tho United States'
than in any country on earth. It'
costs 10 cents to raise n pound nf
wool in Ohio, whilo in Australia it
costs considerably under 4 cents.
These differences continue through
out the whole woolen industry. Whilo'
American labor is much hichcr naid
than TlTc labor of Europe, the board
finds that it is not as efficient ns
that in the European mills.
Where lrofit Goes.
About $1 of every $4 paid to tho
retailer of men's clothing goes to tho
manufacturer of the cloth. A suit
retailing at .?23 is sold wholesale by
the manufacturer for $10.30. It co'?ts
him $14.32. Thus, in general, tho
manufacturer of cloth clothing is ab
solved bv the board from the greater
part of his share in tho high cost
of clothing, nnd it is attributed to
tho retailer. Tho board states, how
ever, that the high duties on wool
have not resulted in ranking retail
prices as high as might bo expected.
Competition has held prices down,
This competition was stimulated wlion '
tho high duties made tho manufacture
of woolens very profitable Then
foreign capital came in and built
mills.
For nil woolen entries tho hoard
recommends sciontifie duties instead
of tho present method of nssossing
ad valorem rates.
Tho ad valorem svstcm mnkes tho
duties higher when prices are high
and the consumer most needs relief,
although tho producer, at tho samo
time, is host able to hear competition.
When prices nro low tho consumer
has tho need of foreign competition
and then, undor the ad valorem sys
tem, when diitios nro low, foreign
competition comes in.
Want Specific Duties.
Tho hoard advocates specific, du
ties as tho easiest way to offset the
difforoneo in tho cost of production
hero and nbrond. Ik'oause of thu dif
ficulty in classifying fabrics, t,n
hoard recommends a combination of
spocifio and ad valorem duties on
woolen cloths, a low ad valorem ratfl
on cheap goods, increasing tho high
est rnto on oxpousivo goods. This;
is cxnetiy tho ndverso of the policy
adopted by tho framers of tho Pnyno
tnriff.
Tho exports studied wool growing
in Australia, South Amorica, South
Africa, Great Britain, other Euro
pean oountries nnd in 173 counties, in
10 states of Amorica.
