A TARIFF OBJECT LESSON.
President-elect Wilson had an
object lesson on tariffs ami the
trusts the oilier day.
It appears that th.'ie is a little
airtight beef trust in Bermuda
and it boosted the prices unlil
heef was listed as a luxury. Some
of the enthusiastic Britishers met
(he emergency hy sending over to
Argentina for a load of beef. It
came and prices of American and
British beef wenl tumbling.
This free competition appears
lo work very well in Bermuda.
Why not try it in this country,
whers the beef trust is charged
with controlling, not only the
prices at the packing houses, but
on the ranges and in the feeding
pens on the farms?

A COMMENDABLE SUGGESTION
In his latest message to con
gress President Tafl. suggests
I lie enactment of legislation that
would permit members of Ihe
cabinet to sit in either house of
congress wilh the right to enter
into debate and answer questions,
hut without a vote.
The suggestion is wholly com
mendable. Under I lie present
system cabinet members ask for
everything in sight f«»r their de
partments ami trust to congress
or to the log-rolling of commit
tee chairmen to get the most pos
sible. It would be a real help to
congress if the cabinet officers |
could appear in the House and
Senate, partieularly when appro
priation bills are pending and
give advice and in format ion and
answer questions touching the
depart menl needs.
