TAFT SIGNS AND TARIFF BILL IS LAW

Payne Rates Are Effective Today. BOTH HOUSES ADJOURN President Says Downward Revision Was Attempted. VOTE IN THE SENATE IS 47 TO 31 Executive Jokes With Solons Who lost Their Pet Fights. Washington, Aug. 6.—The tariff has been revised and the extraordinary session of congress has been brought to a close. Both houses have adjourned sine die. The conference report of the bill was agreed to by the senate by a vote of 47 to 31. Soon afterwards the concurrent resolution making certain changes in the leather schedule was adopted by both houses. President Taft journeyed to the capital and entered the room set aside for the president. His appearance thire,

PRESIDENT TAFT

the first since his incumbency as chief executive, caused members of congress to desert the two chambers and foijm in line to be received by him As soon as the Payne tariff bill, as the measure will be known was laid j before the president, he picked up a pen supplied by Chairman Payne of j the house ways and means committee. : and which had been used by both the ! vice president and the speaker in sign- ; ing the bill, and attached his signature. ■ Pen Used Is Presented to Payne. Rending over the president as he affixed his signature were Secretary MacVeagh. Attorney General Wicker sham. Postmaster General Hitchcogk, j Secretary Nagel and Secretary Wilson, j Standing about the table were Senator Aldrich, Representative Payne and many'other members of the senate and ' house. Payne was given the pen with which the bill was signed. Another i pen used by the president to write the ' word ‘approved’' was presented to Representative Langley of Kentucky Pending the signing of the bill the president said something good natured l ly to each of the senators and he ap- i : peared to be overflowing with mirth : Senator Taliaferro of Florida, in ai rather plaintive tone. said. "Mr. President, surely you are not ' going to sign that bill with that pine- ' apple paragraph in it," referring to the ! increased duty on pineapples in the senate but which was eliminated in conference “What would you have me do? Shall I strike out pineapples altogether or just write in a rate to suit you?" ask ed Taft, laughingly. Senator Fletcher of Florida was telling the president good bye. The Floridian was dismissed with a "Goodbye. "old pineapples,’ take care of yourself." The president greeted Senator Heyburn. who said that no rate In the bill was too high to suit him, with a “How are you, ‘old high tariff.”’ Avoids All Chance of a Veto, When the committees of the senate and house, through Senator Aldrich, who acted as spokesman. Informed the president that the extraordinary session of congress was ready to adjourn, the tariff bill bad not been signed. “Well. I have not signed the bill ( yet,” said the president, “do you think I that I ought to adjourn congress before ■ I sign It?" I Everybody in the room caught the significance of the president's jocular

Query, on account of the previous possibility of a veto. “I certainly do not,” hastily replied Senator Aldrich, and he joined in the general laughter. The delay tn laying the tariff bill before the president was due to Representative Payne‘s desire to personally convey the document to the president. Previously the president had signed a number of other measures after attaching his signature to tne general tariff bill, he sigtfed the Philippine tariff measure. The president used-a mother of pearl pen sent him from the Philippines in signing this bill. Duty on Cotton Bagging Retained. With its members nearly exhausted from the heat, the house of representatives gave the last day of the special session to perfecting the tariff bill. The concurrent resolution amending the leather schedule of the tariff bill was adopted, but the McCumber-McLaurin resolution placing cotton bagging on the free list, on the claim or Chairman Payne that it was not tn order, was consigned to the committee on ways and means. The "tariff builders” dined with the president in the state diningroom of the White House. It was Taft’s celebration of the end of the tariff fight and his farewell dinner of the season. Even the Democratic members of the committee framing the bill were in eluded In the president's invitation list and were at last on an equal footing with the majority.

BILL DISCUSSED BY TAFT Says Measure Is Result of Effort to Revise Downward. Washington. Aug 6.—President Taft issued this statement: "I have signed the Payne tariff bill because I believe it to be the result of sincere effort on the part of the Republican party to make a downward revision, and to comply with the promises of the platform as they have been generally understood, and as I Interpreted them in the campaign before electioni “This is not a perfect bill, or a complete compliance with the promises made strictly interpreted, but a fulfillment, free from criticism in respect to a subject matter involving many schedules and thousands of articles could not be expected It suffices jo say that except, with regard to luxuries, there have been very few increases in rates. “The corporation tax Is a just and equitable excise measure, which it is hoped will produce a sufficient amount to prevent a deficit and which incidentally will secure valuable statistics and information concerning the many corporations of the country” Taft spoke favorably of the customs court and ithe other administrative featured of the bill.

AX FALLS HEAVILY UPON BUREAU HEADS

Commerce and labor Employes Dismissed by Nagel. Washington, Aug 6.—Another great upheaval has occurred in the person nel of the department of commerce and labor as the result of a probe into the efficiency record of employes in that department. The official ax has fallers heavily upon employes in th- 'mmigration service, where considerable 'nefficlen cy was shown to have existed. It has teen directed that a number of such employes in both these tranches of th® service be dismissed and a number of ethers are slated to go Only recently Secretary Nagel at lowed half a score of! employes in the department to resign and reduced up wards of one hundred. Of the more rfcap 800 cases of employes in ‘he Immigration service out side of Ellis Island. New York, it was shown that about 130 of them were ap parently below the required standard of efficiency In a similar manner reductions in salaries were ordered, others “caution ■ ed" and others «han’v admonished tn ’ do better work. , A few immigration inspectors, old : and incapacitated for duty, win be rei duced to the watchmen grade. In the census bureau here about 120 employes have been found inefficient Of this number one dismissal has been ordered eleven were demoted, while the remainder of the cases will be he'd up pending further inquiry

RISE OF STATE FAIR

Was Once a Homeless Wanderer Over Indiana But Now One of Greatest in the Union. PRIZES FOR NEXT FAIR $75,350 Horseback and Long Wagon Trips to Indiana Exposition Have Given Way to Pleasure Rides by Trolley—Eminent Judges Who Will Tie Ribbons on Prize Winners. The Indiana State Fair will be held at Indianapolis the week of Sept. 6, and as the season of preparation for it advances, interest in it is widespread over the state, not only among livestock and other exhibitors, but among the tens of thousands of people who attend from year to year. The Indiana Fair is one of the oldest in the Unlte-i States, and in the last ten years has grown to be one of the largest. From its earliest years, when the fair wandered over the state, using borrowed county fair grounds for Its displays, to the possession at present of a fair ground tract of 214 acres, with land and Improvements worth about $700,000, is one way in which the growth of the Indiana exposition may be measured. The first State Falr,-b§ld in October, 1852, was three days in length and was attended by about 30,000 people. The fair now continues days and evenings for five days, and the attendance approaches 200,000.

At the first Indiana Fair the prizes consisted of silver cups, worth only a few hundred dollars. At the coming fair prizes amounting to $75,350 and a dozen or more expensive silver cups and gold medals will be awarded. People who attended the first fair made the trip to Indianapolis in wagons or on horseback, camping by the roadside at night and taking two or three days for the journey. Now the farm people of the state who live most distant from the fair can reach the grounds in a few hours. Most of them can hail a trolley car near home and make a pleasure ride of the trip. Two trolley lines from northern Indiana land passengers at the fair gates. The Lake Erie & Western railroad will run numerous special trains to and from the coming fair. All of the trolley lines out of Indianapolis will have special service during the week. The* transportation question does not give the fair officials the concern it did a few years ago, for steam and interurban facilities for bringing the people to Indianapolis and getting them home promptly and in comfort, have been highly developed in recent years. It is doubtful if any state fair in the. Union has the streetcar facilities to" equal those from Indianapolis to the Indiana grounds. There are three double-track lines from the city to the fair gates, where cars arrive fifteen seconds apart, and handling 75,000 or more people a day is no longer a bothersome undertaking to the Indianapolis lines.

Another way in which the Indiana exposition has grown is in its patronage. The receipts of the first Fair were $8,833,16 and the total income for the Fair of last year was SIIO,OOO. During its career the Indiana Fair has distributed perhaps $600,000 in premiums, by far the larger portion going to the farmers and live stock owners of the state. The exposition has come up to Its present magnitude very largely from Its own energy, backed by the faith of the farming element of Indiana. For some years the Fair has received SIO,OOO a year from the legislature, all of it going toward paying premiums. The first appropriation by the legislature for a permanent Fair improvement was SIOO,OOO for the coliseum, three summers ago. The State Board of Agriculture added $30.000 to this amount from its treasury that the coliseum might be made more complete. All of the real estate and other buildings which now comprise the Fair property have come from the profits of the exposition, and these profits have come from the town and country people from over the state who have bought admission tickets. As usual, thq prizes offered at the next Fair are richest in the speed department, where the amount, reaches $37,600. an increase of several thousand dollars over any former year, and a corresponding increase in the number of trotters and pacers and in the quality of the events is expected On beef and dairy cattle the total prizes reach $12,566; on show horses, $13,000; sheep, $2,931; swine, $2,078: poultry $1,980; fine arts, $1,417; agricultural products, $1,423; fruit, $848; flowers, $836; bees and honey, $248; dairy products, $214; table luxuries, $209. The State Fair will not only mean the assembling on the grounds at Indianapolis of the best products of the agricultural and livestock farms of the state, with many thousand people to see the richness of these resources, but an unusually brilliant array of judges will be present to decide how the $75,350 in prize money will be distributed. In making up the list of judges, the State Board of Agriculture has sought the highest authorities available for the different departments, and has chosen men who are past-masters in passing on the merits of livestock and the products of field, and orchard. Three new judges will tie the ribbons on the prize-winning horses, and some noted authorities will tie the cattle ribbons.
