PRESIDENT TAFT
TAKES PAYNE ON
AUTOEXCURSION
fChief Executive Soothes the
Much Raffled Spirit of the '
Irate Congressman
Progress Made By the Con
ferees in Whipping the
Tariff Into Shape
•today to the taking up of subjects not
involved in the White House program
concerning raw materials.
The entire zinc schedule was ad
justed. ;. T 7J :
The lead schedule and the products
»>f lead were disposed of.
Lemons will pay a duty of IVt cents
ft pound, the senate rate. This is an
Increase of Vi'of a cent over the house
rate and half of a cent over the Dingley
rates.
The Question of Hides % .
Senator Borah tried to effect an
agreement by which hides may be put
on the free list He said the plan he
bad to suggest had been originated by
i President Taft. This plan contemplates
I the adoption of a joint resolution giving
| the conferees jurisdiction to reopen the
I question of reducing tl*e duty on leath
er.goods, and in consideration of plac
ing hides on the free list, to make
«cle leather dutiable at 6 per cent ad
valorem, boots and shoes and calf skins
20 per cent; and to reduce the rates on
harness in the same proportion. In
view of the opposition In the senate to
rfree hides, the indications are that a
! combination will be effected with the
democrats to defeat the Borah plan.
.Will Issue Statement
Progressive republican senators de
cided to issue a statement outlining
thefr position on downward revision.
Senator Cummins "has been invited to
iiake breakfast with President Taft to

Clothiers Protest to Taft * ' r
WASHINGTON. July. 21 Stung by
the criticisms which have been heaped
on them for announcing a 25 per cent
increase in the price of woolen cloths,
although the new tariff does not in
crease the Dingley rates on wool in any
particular, a delegation representing 93
per cent of the ready made clothing
manufacturers of the country called on
President Taft today to explain their
jiosllion. •\u25a0, - .

,-t>een forming a. combination during the
last few years and were now ready to
advance the price on the quality of

clothes — "the poor man's raiment" — as
they expressed it.
The delegation told the president
•that unless a change could be made in
the woolen schedule, a storm' of pro
test would sweep the country as the
result of the increased prices.

••It "Is rather absurd any way, because
iC I were a man trying to impersonate
a "woman I wouldn't dresa , this way.
I would wear at wlgr and much more
feminine clothes." \u0084
- Miss ; Castle says that her hair is
short because she had a, severe Illness
about a year ago and lost all of her
hair, and she has never let It grow
out since.
"I thought I would look better. In a
Panama hat. as long as I have short
hair." she said, "than if I wore a little
bonnet with _ strings tied under my
chin." . \u25a0 .
GIRLS DRESS PLAINLY V-
She went. on to explain that while
they were traveling they found it bet
ter to, dress very plainly, and collars
and 'ties seemed more convenient as
well.
Twice before Miss Castle has been
accosted by the police, once in Chicago,
where an appeal to the chief of police
secured her from further annoyance,
and agalH In Los Angeles, where, she
says, she received only rudeness from
the chief, who declined to assist her
In any way to keep his minions of the
law from Interfering with her. .
,As soon as .the episode with Police
man* Isaacs was at an end, she went to
Chief- Cook "and, after an interview
with the matron of the prison, secured
a letter from him.
Miss Castle Is but little more than
five feet In height, is extremely pretty
and refined and Is not In the least mas
culine either In features or figure. Her
dress Is certainly severe In type, but
to the casual observer seems hardly
extraordinary enough to secure her ar
rest.
After being up ten minutes Wright
made a graceful landing.
Success of the Glider

of the Pacific aero club Tuesday night

What ] Has Been Done in Regard
to : Settling the Land
Question *
No Longer Can the Tenant Be
Ruthlessly Despoiled by an
- Absentee Landlord
Continued from Page 1
revocably the. principle of tenant part
nership right, but created a court
which fixed the rents to be paid during
periods of 15 years.: How 'much of
downright robbery there was under the
old-system :may be deduced from the
fact' that in the first readjustment the
court reduced rents 20 per cent, taking
an annual burden s '.'of $7,500,000 from
the shoulders of the people. -
: But for more than a generation prior
to \ this great .victory the only perma
nent r solution of the desperate I problem
had been under desultory discussion
from time to time. :in 1847 Lord John
Russell advocated the proposal -of John
Stuart .Mill for making the ; peasants
proprietors or the lands they tilled.
More than 20 -years later, in 1870, a
timid move was made In the direction
of assisting the tenants to purchase
their farms. Parnell. In 1878 made a
fight for, the idea/and the act of 1881
marked a certain small advance.
First Real Recognition
But the act of ISS3 was
the first real recognition and adoption
of what is known as land purchase.
This act provided for the advancing
by the state of the entire sum neces
sary to purchase lands, the tenants re
paying It in 49 annual Installments of
4 per cent. Of this 2% per cent was
interest and 1^ per cent went to the
sinking fund for liquidation of the loan.
* Not more than -2,000 tenants were
able to take advantage of the plan un
der that act, but the principle had been
established, and since ISBS has been
constantly broadened and Its applica
tion made more practical. In 18S6
Gladstone offered to all the Irish land
lords the terms of purchase in the Ash
bourne act, but the plan fell with his
home rule bill, to which It was at
tached. , - .
The next important move was in. 1891.
when Premier.; Balf our authorized the
appropriation of $165,000,000 to extend
the operation of the Ashbourne act, un
der which expenditure had been limited
Xo $25,000,000. All of the purchase
money was to be advanced to the ten
ants by the state through the Issue of
guaranteed land stock bearing nine
dividends of 2*i per cent, repayment
being made in 49 annual sums. Under
this act no less than 30,0,00 tenants be
came owners of their farms, 6,000 more
than had been able to take advantage
of all the preceding acts, j
Another Step Forward
In 1896 another great step forward
was made. The land act of that year
asserted the principle of compulsory
sale of 'bankrupt estates and length
ened the term of repayment to 68 years,
the payments being reduced at the end
of each period " of 10 years. And In
making the calculations every, pur
chaser started with a reduction of 23
per cent on the rent he. had hitherto
paid. This was the act In operation in
1902 -when the writer visited Ireland.
About 37,000 farm holdings had. been
transferred under ; It, but there were
still many defects. .. " .
The hardship of the great mass of
tenants, as described by the writer, led
to the passage of the Wyndham act of
1903. Under this the British treasury
advances up to $500,000,000 at ?i per
cent interest, with % per cent added
for. the sinking fund. The advances are
made In cash by the estates commis
sioners and the tenants pay 3*,4 per
cent of the sum annually. At this rate
they acquire ownership in 68 % years.
Instead of paying, say, $50 a year rent
forever, the tenant pays $30 or $35 an
nually, with the certainty that his heirs
will ow.n the property.-
