But Apologises to the Country by
Saying That While the Measure
ix Not a Perfect Tariff Bill, or a
Complete Compliance With the
Promises, It Will Have to Do.
President Taft gave out a state-
ment .Thursday night embodying hit
views of the new tariff act which
is designated officially as the ’‘Payne
bin" in accordance with past cus
tom of giving recognition to the
ramer of the measure In tbe house
of representatives.
The president declares that while
the bill is not perfect by any means
nor "a complete compliance with
promise made, strictly Interpreted,"
it is nevertheless a sincere effort on
the part of the party to mako a
downward revision and to comply
wltn the promises of the platform.
The statement In full follows:
I have signed the Payne tariff bill
because I believe It to be the result
of a sincere effort on the part of the
Flue of $5,000.
Since the prohibition law went
Into effect It is probable that the
“jug trade” In dispensary counties
will Increase to a great extent, as
It has done ft the heretofore Ary
counties. The United States laws
In reference to the shipment of
whiskeys Into the State and the re
ceiving of It are very strict.
