"It It doubtful if you could find a
statement of Mr. Taft la which ha
said there had beea no proala of a
rovlslou dow award. Ills letter of ac-
ceptance states clearly that he did ao
construe the pledge of tho plat for n
In 1908. Furthermore the tariff waa
revised downward. Tho Impression to
the contrary Is due to three sources.
One la the attack made upon the
Payne law by tho magaaluea. That
attack was prompted chiefly by the
httter roseuttueDt toward President
Taft because be bad recommended
that tho second class postage late bo
advanced ao that tho magaaluea would
Miaa somewhere near paying the gov-
ernment what It cost to transport their
editions. It costs tha government
now about 960000000 a year to carry
I the magaalnea through the malls anil
they pay It In postage about 110000-
1 000 leaving a clear subsidy of 950.00a.-
000 a year. Tha president suggested to
eongress that this waa not a square
deal toward the government and the
magaslnes determined lo break klm
down."
Opposition to Taft Bxplalnsd.
Tho reply further stated that tha
apposition of the metropolitan prase
to President Taft Is duo to tha fact
that lie declined to put print paper on
the free list while the third source
from which tha people derive tho Im-
pression that the Payne law shows re-
vision upward lustead of downward
was the declaration by Mr. Champ
Clark In his speech opposing the bill
when It was before tho house of rep-
resentatives. Mr. Clark speaking aa
a prophet and not aa an historian
said that the duties under the Payna
bill would ahow an average Increase
of 1.71 per cent ovor the Dlugley law
The letter continued:
'That statement went out to the

when It was merely a guess. Hut
tho law haa been In operation now for
