Mr. Taft’s Two Failures.

President Taft calls for legislation, on the cotton tariff rates, in accordance with the recommendations of his tariff board. When the Ahi rich-Payne bill was passed. Mr. Taft had the best sort ot opportunity to bring about the conditions In now advises by vetoing the measure and demanding proper rates. Again, he was given a chance to secure results he now recommends when the house passed the cotton schedules bill, last summer—a bill substantially in accord with the present board plan. Having failed twice to avail himself of the opportunity to secure just the conditions he now seeks to have adopted, the president has no occasion for surprise in failure of congress to make special haste in following his present recommendations.
