I ^ a decade, the revision of the tar- a
I \ iff? The hope has been pretty v
- generally expressed that the re- p
vision may be accomplished with- a
out undue delay. However, fear ^
of the effect of delay should not ^
be permitted to prevent intelli- 0
gent discussion of the schedules n
and therefore a real revision that v
will satisfy public opinion. At s,
present it is impossible to know v
anything on the subject and not
until the discussion has been taken
up in the newspaper and by
the commercial bodies throughout li
the country and until the Con' p
gressmen begin to hear from their o
constituents will the real public ti
opinion be known. t<

Washington newspapers are ^
conducting a vigorous campaign p
for a change in tlfc date of the in- ?
auguration of the President and j,
.Vice-President, and Senator De- Q
pew has offered a resolution in g
the Senate recommending a con- ^
stitutional amendment to this ef- g
feet. Speaker Cannon has signi- u
fied his willingness to cooperate ^
with those who are taking the tj
lead in this movement. The pro- g
posed change seems to meet gen- n
eral approval, and if the papers
throughout the country will continue
the campaign. Congress now
in special session may be indue- t<
ed to take definite steps with that J
jk end in view. E

Ever since a coinage was estabshed

Washington refused the use of his
