at times so severe that I was unable
to stoop or straighten. My kidneys
also bothered me a great deal, the se

senator Ai.miicn. |? 1 1> i t i t i it In extra
session at this time is the revision of
tlio tarilV. There are oilier matters of
public policy which, in the judgment
of the new e\t- utive, demand attcn
I Ion from the national l?glslnture.
These will lie taken up at the next
regular session of congress In Pecem
licr. As to the reason for taking up
the revision of the tariff in advance of
other measures of reform President
Ta ft said in his inaugural remarks:
"It i* not dial the tariff is more Im
portant in the Iour run than the per
fecting of the reforms in respect lo
anti-trust legislation and interstate
commerce regulation, hut the need for
in lion when revision of the tariff has
liccn determined upon is more imme
diate to avoid embarrassment of busi
ness."
Hence the desire of the executive
that the work of revision should pro
ceed as promptly and expeditiously as >
may be consistent with careful and
conscientious examination of the pro- ,
posed changes In the schedules of dn- :

will mean lowering rather than raising |
them. as a rule, for lie said in his nil- i
ilross on inauguration day:
"it is thought that there has been
such a change in conditions since the
enactment of the Dlngley act, drafted
011 a similarly protective principle,
that the measure of the tariff above
stated will permit the reduction of
rates in certain schedules and will re
quire the advancement of few. If any."
In recent years when there have
been extensive alterations in 1 ho tar
iff. ?r attempted alterations, they have
Iieeii the result of efforts to undo the
work of an opposite political party in
amendment of the schedules, it was
so in the case of the I>itigley act,
which i\as drafted by a Kcpublican
congress with the view of undoing
what had been done by a Democratic
congress when the Gorinnn-Wilson bill
was enacted In President Cleveland's
second administration. The Gorman
Wilson art. in turn, was a return to a
Democratic basis f<T the tariff, suc
ceeding Ihe Republican standard es
tablished by the MoKinley act. And
so ? .si tack through tlic Mills bill, the
Morrison bill and other tariff meas
ures. some enacted, others only pro
posed and discussed or acted upon by
but one branch of the government.
The t.'.riff was usually taken up when
there was a change in the political
complexion of congress and one party
or the other desired to alter It to con
form to its particular ideas.
In the present instance there has
been no change in the political com
plexion of the govcrnuieut, and re
visit u of a Republican measure is to
be undertaken by a Republican con
gross. The work Is attempted in re
sponse to a sentiment in favor of re
vision believed by the incoming admin
istration to be earnest and widespread.
There is naturally much interest and
in some quarters even anxiety as to
the results of the revision, as the tariff
is a matter affecting so directly the
business of the country. The hearings
held during the winter by the ways
and means committee revealed the fact
that a wide ilifferonce of opinion ex
ists even among members of the
party I11 power as to precisely what
changes should be made in the sched
ules. President Taft litis made his
position In the matter clear, but it is
congress which devises and frames
legislation, and the executive may only
approve or rejcct. what congress has
done. The work of enacting a meas
ure of this kind Involves compromise.
Old Figures Missing In
New Body and Some of
Those Who Appear For
First Time at Washington
Whether or not the tnrilT is a local
Issue, as contended by a candidate for
the presidency some years ago, it is
certain that local Interests enter
largely Into the contentions on this sub
ject. The latter are by no means due
wholly to timer
e n c e s of political
principle or policy.
As chairman of
the committee on
ways and means, j
IJepresentatlve So
reno E. Payne of
New York will in
the natural course
of events give his
name to the bill in-j
1 rodncod in the
champ clark. house and passed by
that body. The senate, too, will pass
a bill, or endeavor to do so, and Sena- j
tor Nelson B. Aldrlch, as head of the
lltiaucc committee, will have much to [
do with the proceedings In the upper
chamber. The llnnl measure will rep
resent an agreement or compromise
between the two bodies. It Is custom
ary for the house to initiate legislation
of this character, as the branch of the
government nearest to t lie people, and
the measure adopted is apt to take its
stamp from the framers of the house
bill. The Wilson bill of Mr. Cleve
land's administration, however, under
went so many changes In the senate
before Its final adoption that its origi
nal authors hardly knew It.
Congressman l'ayne, who represents
in the house the Thirty-first New York
district, has a knowledge of the tariff
acquired In the course of twenty-five
years" service in congress, during
which lime he has participated more
or less In the framing of several tariff
measures. Mr. Payne's chief opponent
and critic In the forthcoming tariff bill
will be Representative Champ Clark of
Missouri, who last December succeed
ed John Sharp Williams as Democratic
leader In the house. Mr. Clark, too. is
a well posted man on tariff matters i
and one who is very quick to grasp
every opportunity for scoring a party
advantage.
Aside from the subject of tariff re
vision. the special meeting of the Sixty
first congress is interesting in that it
serves to introduce many newly elected
members to the public as national law
makers. In the senate especially the
changes In membership are noticeable,
in the house, too. there are many new
faces, but not so many of the old
standbys are missing as in the senate,
the principal ones being Congressmen
W. 1'. Hepburn of Iowa and W. Bourke
Cockran of New York. In the senate
the list includes Koraker of Ohio. Tel
ler of Colorado. I'latt of New York.
Knox of Pennsylvania, Ankeny of
Washington, Fulton of Oregon and
others well known, the three first men
tioned being men whose names have
been Identified with national legisla
tion for a quarter of a century or
more. Among the new men are Theo
dore E. Burton of Ohio, successor to
Mr. Koraker. who already ranks as one
of the leading statesmen of the na- !
tion: Eliliu Boot, who yields the pre
miership of the cabinet to take the !
scat of Thomas C. I'latt as a member
from the Empire State, and George E.
Chamberlain of Oregon, who is noted
as probably the first Democrat ever ,
chosen to the senate by a legislature
having a large Republican majority.

this fact being duo to the operation of
the primary lave in Oregon and the
fact that the people gave their instruc
tions to the legislature iu Mr. Cham
berlain's favor. Another new western
senator is Charles J. Hughes of Colo
rado, a Democrat and a noted lawyer
and capitalist, who takes the seat so
long held by the venerable Henry M.
Teller. Still another is Wesley t L.
Jones of the state of Washington, who
served in the house prior to his pro
motion to the senate.
