WOOL TARIFF TO
BE REDUCED
President Taft it is reported, has
concluded to recommend revision
downward of Schedule "K." which ia
tbe wool tariff bv a substantial reduc
tion. Declaring that manv schedules of
the I'avne tariff law are "prohibitive."
the report of the tariff board on
schedule K the wool schedule was
submitted to congress by President
Taft on the 20th.
Regarding the differences in cost
of production at home and atroail. the
reDOrt declares that in nearly every
woolen product, from dirtv fleece to
finished worsted cloth, it coets more
to protiuce wool and woolen goods in i
the United States than in anv otner j
country on earth. It costs 19 cents!
I to raise a pound of wool in Ohio, while
in Australia it costs considerably under '
four cents. i
These differences continue through
lout the woolen industry. While Ameri
i can labor is much higher pai 1 than
the labor of Europe, the board finds it
is nut as elficient as that in trie Euro
pean mills.
About $1 of every ?t paid to the re
i taller of men's clothinir goes to the
j manufacturer of the cloth. A suit re
tailing at is sold wholesale bv the
I manufacturer for $10. ."0. It costs him
!$14 tf"J. Th :s. in general, the manu
facturer o! el'th clothing is absolved
: bv the l.-ifird fr.'m the greater Diirt of
I his share in the hiwh c.i-t of clothing.
ail it is attriiiitl to the ictailer. The
; toard states, however, thrit the high
I'jies on woo! have t.ot re.-'ilted in
rr. h '-: : r g retail t r ces as high a- might
i be expected. Competition has held
i Lti- es d.iwii. This i-imt.etitioti was
stimulated when ths high duties made
' tbe niar.ufaciure of wooiens verv profit
1 able. Then foreign caoital came in
! and built mills.
j For all woolen entries the beard
I recommends gpeci tic duties instead of
I the present method ot assessing at ad
I valorem rates. The ad valorem sv-tem
are high and the consumer most needs
relief although the producer at the :
same time in mind, to the end that an
important and established industry
may not be jeopardized. The tariff :
beard retorts r.o euuitable method,
but found a lew of purely specific '
duties oi woolen ard worsted fabrics
and that, excepting for the compensu-;
torv dutv. the rate must be ad valorem
on euch manufactures.
"It is important to realizo. however. '
that r.o flat aj valorem rates on Ruch
fati ies can v. ik lairlv and tfTectivelv. ,
At:v r'inglc rate which would be high'
er.ounh to e i -aiize the difference in
IK.- i.;-i!.'.l"a'.luring costs at home and
ahroud on highly hniPhe-il gooils, in
yoking much labor,
would be crohibi-
torv on cheaner eoodi, in which the
cost of labor is a smaller tirooortion of
the total value. Conversely, a rate onlv
adequate to equalize this differer.ee
on cneaoer too is wouio. remove oro-
lection from tine irood3
manufactured
the strikinir feature of our trade de- ,
velonment in recent years. f
"I therefore, recommend that, in j
anv revision, the importance of a trad-1
uated scale of ad valorem duties on
cloth be carefully considered and
aoulie 1.
"It is no part or function of the tariff
board to nronose rates of duty. Its
function is merely to Drewent finding
of fact on which the rates may be
fairly determined in the liirht of
adeuuate knowledge and in accord with
the Doliov to be followed. This is what
the present renort does.
"The lindinvs of fact bv the board
show ample reason for revision down
ward of schedule K. in aocordancj with
the protect ivo DrinciDle. and present
'lula reuardinu relative coats and prices

Governorto HaveQuottlon
Submitted to Voters
of Oregon
Tbe Question of raottal punishment
in to bo submitted to the voter of Ore
bob at the next election, and In the
meantime such clemency as (Jovenor
West may extend capital criminals
will te In the form of reprieves, stuv-
inar execution of sentence until the
yerdict of the voters of the state is
received. If that verdict be for hang
ings, the sentences of the courts will
be promptly executed. In the bill to
be aubmitted. and which will tie rcc
ommended for passage bv (jovcrnor
West, there will le a provision for life
imprisonment for murder, with no
Dower of pardon bv the executive ex
cept on recommendation of the supreme
court. All this la announced in a state
ment by Governor West, in which he
savs :
"Capital punishment is either right
or wrong. I believe it is wrong and I
voice the sentiment of majority of
the people of the slate when 1 sav it is
wrong ami should be abolished. When
I stated before leaving for the east,
that there would be no hangings dur
ing mv term of office. I did so because
I had. as I now have, the Arm belief
that the people of this state would at
the first opportunity vote to abolish it
and it was mv intention, to submit the
voters of this state through the initia
tive a measure abolishing capital pun
ishment, substituting life imprison
ment and permitting the granting of
pardons in murder cases onlv upon j
recommendation of the supreme court.
In the meantime death sentences will !
not be committed but reprieves onlv '
vested for the purpose of postponing
the executing until the ooeule have de-
j clared their wishes.
"If thev declare for hanging, their
I sentences will be carried out to the
letter in each hii 1 cverv case, but I
do not fear such a verdict, as 1 am
firm in mv belief that the ocopi will
abolish this relic of the dark ages and
that there will be no more hangings in
j this state."
