Will Be Put Forward in the Iowa State Convention. Favors the Free Admission of the Necessities of Life. Special Dispatch to The Call. SIOUX CITY, May 9.—President Rooze- velt, the prospective ndminee of the Re- publican National Convention; Senator William B. Allison, a leader in the Sen- ate, and Governor Cummins of Iowa, chiefly famous for the persistency with which he has espoused the “Jowa idea,” have agreed upon a tariff plank for the Republican National platform of 1904. If they succeed in théir purpose ithe tariff mins-will be embodied in that platform in gcneral, though not specific, terms. The words ‘“‘shelter for monopoly,” ' which caused the chief opposition to the Jowa platforms of the past two years, because by implication they . asserted . that the tariff might afford shelter to monepoly, will be eliminated, but the word ‘“‘monop- oly” .will .be used in almost the same sense. The tariff plank will be given its first prominence at the lowa State Con- vention. e Governor Cummins recently paid a wisit to Washington to consult with Prestdent Roosevel'v; uppn the “lattew's invitatton: During the Pregident's 1 w . the uuugnq.-*av' weat SWith “Blm in his ptivateoffice on the special train more than twelve hours. , At this time Gove:- | nor Cummins presented the. President | with "a letter from, Senator Allisan, in | which the latter outlined to him the re- sult of two conferences between Cummins ‘and Allison. The President heartily ap- proved the programme therein mapped out. TEXT OF THE “IOWA IDEA.” This programme, in brief, was that the Jowa platform to be adopted at the State cenvention, to be held on July 1, should Le modified in the manner outlined heret fore and that Governor Cummins’ pre | plank be incorporated in the next nationa latform should have thefr joint suppor hey agreed that Covernor Cummins views had been misinterpreted and mal- v misrepresented, and that th substantially those of Roosevelt and Aliison. The “Towa idea,” fathered which appeared'in the past can platforms, ig as follows: “We stand by ‘the historic policy of the Republican party in giving protection to home industries and pomt for its ampie vindication to the extraordinary rapidity with which our national resources have been developed and our industrial and financial independence secured. We favor such changes in the tariff from time to time as become advisable, through the progress of our industries and their changing relations ‘to’ the commerce of the world. . We endorse the policy of reci- procity as the natural complement of pro- tection and. urge its development as ne- cessary to_the realization of our highest commercial possibilities. We favor any recdification’ of the tariff schedules that may be required to prevent their afford- ing a shelter to monopoly.”” % PLANK AS AGREED UPON. At Cummins’ “conference with Mr. Rooeevelt at Washington, 'the President sought to ascertain exactly the orthodoxy of Cummins’ principles. ‘It was then dis- covered that they could practically agree by using the Republican platform of 159, adopted at the St. Louis convention. Governor Cummins declared that this was s radical as he ever thought of advocat- ing. Senator Allison was then approached as the one ‘influential member of the Iowa . delegation. in Washington capable of bringing his colleagues around to Cum- mings’ ideas.. The result of this was (he eventual agreement that the St. uis platform should be followed as nearly ag practicable. Tye plank as it will be writ- ten in substance, ds: ““We are mot pledged to any particular schedules; the question of rates is a prac- tical one to be governed by the conditions of tHe time and. of production. The rul. ing and ‘uncompromising principle is the protection and’ the development of Amer. ican labor and industries. Reciprocity and protection are twin.measures of Re- publican policy and go hand in hand. .
