flWfi fp-- s III RECIPROCITY BIG Preliminary Steps Toward Tariff Revision May Engage At tention of Congress Next Winter Completion of Other Important Legislation Presents Op portunity; President wantsJChange ( - BY RAYMOND. A dispatch from Washington Un der date of July 8, says: Tariff reciprocity an the beginning of tariff revision may bd mado tno hlof Ubuo of the Bhort Hcaslon of tlio flfty-nlnth congress. It la moro than likely thnt after the election in November steps will be takon in the direction of the pub Higo of a general reciprocity law. This does not moan that tiny such law will bo paHscd noxt winter, be cbubq that absolutely !b ImpoBSlblo at tho short session of congroBB. It fa likely, howovor, that somo prelim inary action will bo taken by way of the appointment of a commiBBlon or Joint commlttco of tho two houses of'congrcsa to draft something in Ibo way of a reciprocity law which will meet tho demand for Bitch com mercial nrrangomonts. Whatever reciprocity there Ib must bo by a now law, becauao tho reciprocity fcaturo of tho DIngley act expired two years ciftor ItH passago' and none of tho troaticB negotiated undor its provlBlona Bitccecded in so curing ratification by tho Bonate. Hlatittory Itcclproolty IinpcniUve. Tho reciprocity of tho futuro must ' be statutory, that la to say, tho presi dent must bo authorized in somo way either by tho operation of a maxi mum and minimum tariff or by n horizontal reduction, to promote trado relations with other countries, This would moan rovlslon of tho tariff if reciprocity could bo accom plished on n percentage biiHls, that Ib to Bay, by tho application of ti moro general principle of tho pres ent law without disturbing the rates themselves, thus provoking n gen eral ttirlu discussion. It practical ly Ib curtain that tho Joint commis sion Idea will bo adopted nt the short nesston of congress. It Is too early yet to say whether President Iloosovolt will or will not discuss tho tariff in his noxt message to congress. Ho consented to olltnl note that subject last fall because he had so many Irons In tho llru ho did not deem It ndvlsnblo to tako up a new ono and ottdoavor to kqep that alaq at whlto heat. Tho railroad rate fight wna ahead of thu adminis tration. It was certain to bo bitter and his best friends felt thnt If tho tariff were dragged Into tho situa tion If would complicate mnttera and enable tho enetulcn of railroad regu lation to combine with tariff fa natics. Way Cleared for Action on Question, Several proposition woro mndo in the early part of the session looking toward reciprocity. Sonntor Lodgo ami others, in deference to tho pro nounced sentiment In Now England, scouted tho maximum and mini WHtn tnrlff ami other limited recip rocity schemes. A tnrlff commission almost certainly would have boon Authorised at the last bossIoii of congress except for tho fact that tho rMlroa.il situation kept every ono on tho Jump, Inntuuuch as tho president was obliged to change his vjowa fre quently during the fight, $1 5,000 In purses for racing events, including a $2000 pace ami a $2000 trot, at Oregon State Fair! 1906 Begkmkijr September, tO, ond ending September 15 $1 h premtoms on Hvc stock, agricultural nnd manufac tured products. kvM be the freatest Stale Fair In the history of Or . k belongs to aN the people of this state; aN are ieretd, and tens of thousamte of them wM be to aN tMHlCt LAW PROBLEM NOW Now, however, the railroad bill is pftBBfd and bo is the pure food lnw. Meat inspection haB been secured, n Bystem of naturalization adopted, nnd tho Immigration bill put at least In the conferenco Btnge, whero It can bo handled without much difficulty next winter. So many big questions havo been taken out of tho way that reciprocity will almost certainly como to tho front next fall, and tho deposition in congress Ij to satisfy the peoplo of tho nppointment of a Joint commlttco of tho sennto nnd hottso to Bit during recess and re port legislation for tho considera tion of tho sixtieth congress, That will carry tho subject up to tho threshhold of tho noxt nationnl cam paign, nnd thnt Is tho point political lenders nro nlmlng nt. Foreign Affairs Need Attention. It must bo admitted thnt Presi dent Itoosovelt'fl foreign policy so fnr as It haa boon developed during his ndmlnlstrntion has not been on tlrcly successful. Tho sennto por- BlBtontly bnH refused to ratify tho San Domingo tronty, and tho admin istration todny is collecting tho rov- enues of thnt public undor tho guns of United States warships without a shadow of authority from congress or any ono oleso. A beginning wits mndo to put an end to tho extraordi nary condition of nffnlrs in Vene zuela, but It wns necessary to put n stop to theso proceedings bocauso of tho tinforunnto connection of Assist ant Secretnry Loom Is with tho ne gotiations, tho ndmlnlstrntion hav ing been compromised to n point whoro It could not proceed without Involving Mr, Loomla In fttrthor scandal. Tho aonnto also rofused to reduco ratea on Imports from tho Philip pines, nlthought tho proposition was an oxcollent ono. Serrotnry Hoot's policy in rognrd to Morrocco caused a great outburst of Indignation In tho senate, as It wiib folt that It wiib In direct opposition to tho tradition al policy of tho Unltod Stntos to avoid Interference In the quarrols of Kuropoan nations. In vlow of tho fact that although tho administration baa succeeded In securing excellent legislation from congress regnrdlng domostlc matters It lias failed to seenro tho ratifica tion of n sluglo Itom in Its foreign policy, It haa been suggested thnt tho president cnu well afford to wlpo off Ills ut foreign slato an begin nnew with a distinctive American commercial reciprocity schomo which would commend Itself to tho busl ness sense of tho country nnd which would give us much closer foreign relations than undesirable confer ences In out of tho way countries and collection of potty rovenues un der tho guns of our (loot. President Heartily for ltevlslon. Tho president believes In revision of the tariff. He novor has yielded hla position on this point at nil. Ho 1ms listened, howevor, to tho voice of "Uncle" Joe Cannon und other wise vutoraus of congress, who say 0,000 DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, PRECOX, MONDAY. AUGUST SO, that while there are many schedules In tho DIngley tariff which ought to bo changed, the mere act of chang ing might do moro harm to business thnn tho benefit which would bo de rived from a reduction of rates The president has not been convinc ed always by these nrguments, but ho y fielded to them to such extent Inst year ac to refrain from making the expected arguments for tnrlff re vision In his message to congress. Reciprocity Ib n safo middlo ground between standpatlsm and radical tariff revision. There may be mere neti'oci than Borne peoplo Imagine In the visit, of Secretary Hoot to F.nutn America, In tho nrrl val of the prime minister of Now Zealand nt Oyster Bay, nnd in tho forth.on.it,K orngnizntlon of a com mission to discuss our relntlon with fie dominion of Canada. In each of those eases reciprocity has been and 111 bo the 1-eynoto., Prlmo Minister Wnrd wont to Oy ster Bny last week for tho express purpose of discussing the possibility of creating reciprocity tnrlff rela tions between tho United States and New Zealand. The Now Zealand premier snid frankly that his parlia ment stood ready to mako a horizon tal reduction of 10 per cent In their tariff onall articles coming from tho United States. This snmo preference Is given to Grcnt Dritnin as a matter of loyalty to tho mother country. Tho proposition is n significant one, nnd, as It Is mndo on a horizontal basis, it would bo comparatively easy for our congress to meet in the ,snmo way. Secretary Hoot's Mission Important. Secretary Hoot has started out for South Amerlcn with the vnguo pur Pobo of producing closer rolntlons between tho United States and tho republics to tho south of us. Thoso peoplo tiro not In sympathy with Americans bo fnr na Inngungo and history nro concerned. They will deal with us whon we mnko It worth tholr whllo to do so, and not other wise. No ono understands this fact better than Secretnry Root. Ho Is to mnke a special study of Brazil ond Argontlno, tho two grent pro gressive nntlonB of tho enst const, with which tho United Stntos hns had at times the closest relations. New England wnnts cheaper hides from Argentina. Wo tako most nil of tho Brazilian coffeo crop, nnd it would bo tho simplest thing in tho world to establish a reciprocity schomo with that country by putting n few cents n pound on coffeo nnd then reducing tho rato In considera tion of a reciprocity concession from Brazil. McKlnley started that In the DIngley law, and If thnt satuto had been left alone by tho domocrntlc congresB of 1S94 our trade with South Amorlca today would bo far greater thnn now. It la almost n self-evident fact thnt tho trip of Secretnry Root will have ns Its principal result nn im mediate nnd forcible suggestion for tho Institution of reciprocity nr rnngomeuta between tho United States nnd tho South Amorlcan re publics. ItelntioiiH With Canada a Problem. When tho Alaska boundary ques tion wns sottled by tho International boundary commission, which met In London, there wns n well donned un derstanding that, In vlow of tho ro mnrktiblo concession mndo by llreat Britain, which prnctlcnlly gave tho United States all It contended for, nnd which, of uourse, bitterly disap pointed tho Cunadlnns, there should follow n now attempt to create bet ter trado rolntlons between tho Unl. ted States mid Canada. Sir Wilfred Laurlor and others have frequently declared of lato that the time for re ciprocity hns gone by, yet they have been complaining of tur tariff regu lations, am! It Is u well known fact that if the United Statos Bhould en act n general reciprocity law this country would bo given tho benefit almost without hesitation, by Can- ada of the preferential tariff. Reciprocity with Canada is Inevi table If we want it. A Bpoclal com mission la about to proceed to study tho question of fisheries and seals and similar topics. Out of the work nun commission there will al most certainly como a moro or less strong demand for reciprocity. With tho proposition tor reolpro cl tariff ndntlons from Now Zen Und, South America, Canada and Mexico almost la sight for noxt full, it setmis practically certain that the subject will be forced upon tho short session of congress, una If it Is there may bo a. chance tor tho administra tion to retrieve in this way tho seri ous mistakes it ban made In tho rest of Its foreign policy.

Now, Gorky has an inning and speaks his mind about America and Ameri cans. Our people, he says, live a life of materialism and a constant pur suit of the dollar. They live thus, he thinks, under protest, but still they live it. Anent our skyscrapers, he says they are rectangular with no desire to be beautiful and in whose windows "there are no flowers nndi no children anywhere seen." Roose velt throws a flood of light on this American get-along-wlthout-chlldren tendency. Gorky can look in tno book and see. Modern American so ciety runs just now more to poodle- dogs and parrots than to babies. He doubts the habitation of freedom in such places. "It is always so," he says. "In great houses dwell small people." Gorky pities the pathetic ignorance of New Yorkers and the truly miserable lives they lead. Those hurrying crowds on tho pave ments, if they only knew it, are ho thinks, in reality, slaves. Yet "their faces nre calm, their hearts do not feel the misfortune of being slaves in their eyes gleams a consciousness of Independence, but they do not know it is but the sorry independ ence of the ax in the bands of the blacksmith. This liberty is the tool In tho hands of the Yellow Devil Gold." This Is not Gorky's ideal or life. "To live," he says, "means to live beautifully, bravely, .and with all tho powers of tho soul. To live means to embrace with our minds the whole universe, to mingle our thoughts with' nil the secrets of ex istence, nnd to do all that is possible In order to make life around us more beautiful, more varied, freer, and brighter."
