1 1)1 TffllFF BILL
(By United Presa.)
CHICAGO, 111. Aug. 6? The Chicago
Inter-Ocean this morning in its editor
ial columns stated that the tariff bill
passed by Congress and signed by
President Taft will afford slight re
lief In reducing the high cost of liv
ing which lead to the demand for
tariff revision. The editorial states
that the tariff revision was a distinct
disappointment and intimates that the
Republicans have not kept their faith
with the people.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Aug. 6? ThW
morning the San Francisco Call state
i.ditorially that Congress has wasted
six months In tinkering with the tariff
and has done absolutely nothing to de
crease the cost of living. The article
scores the Republican legislators for
not living up to the spirit of the pledg
es in the last campaign.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6? The New
York Sun in its editorial columns to
day treats the Payae tariff bill in a
somewhat jocular vein. It says that
while the revision of the tariff was
farclal that the people should be glad
that Congress has adjourned and the
farce ended.
