Taft Wrote Ohio Platform Tariff Plank In Own Words
Taft personally drafted the Ohio Republican tariff plank with revisions by a few at the end. The proposed platform favors a maximum and minimum tariff, federal supervision of interstate securities, and tariff revision to protect American producers and wage earners. Stand-patters support the Illinois precedent, while Taft’s allies vow to oppose any straddling or weakening of the text. The fight hinges on wording and the scope of rates under consideration.
