I S BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE Fight For Tariff Commission Is Opened. G00D BILL IS TAKEN UP fowan Who Introduced Measure Among Those Who Spoke in Favor of Its Adoption—Chairman Payne Ridi- cules ldea of Creating “Non-Parti- san, Disinterested” Board of Any Kind for Any Purpose. Washington, Dec. 14—The opening gun in the fight for a permanent tar- iff commission with inquisitorial pow- ars as to the facts underlying the cost of production at home and abroad of tariff made articles was fired before the house committee on ways and means when Representative Good of Towa and John C. Cobb, president of the National Tariff Commission asso- ciation, composed of over one hundred boards of trade and chambers of com- merce, spoke in favor of the Good tariff commission bill. Representative Good declared the essence of his demand to be for a per- manent tariff commission, with power to ascertain actual facts, such as would be needed to enable congress to enact a tariff law intelligently, but without power to make specific recom- mendations as to actual duties. Mr. Good stated he would make the appointments to the board without re- gard to politics and in his bill had suggested that the five members be chosen as follows: Two having special knowledge of the producing interests of the country, one lawyer conversant with industrial and commercial conditions and the tariff laws of foreign countries and one economist and statistician. Chairman Payne interrupted to say that one of the most popular fallacies regarding the framing of tariff laws was that the ultimate consumer was not represented. He stated that the importer, who was interested in low duties, was, in fact, a representative of the consumer. Payne Opposes Suggestion. Mr. Payne said he took no stock in the theory that it was possible to cre- ate a ‘“disinterested, non-partisan” board of any kind for any purpose. He was also cpposed to the suggestion that it was possible to take the tariff out of politics and said he was inter- ested in letting in the light of truth on all tariff bills, but was not in favor of abandoning the present plan unless a better one was suggested. Mr. Payne then went further and enunciated his idea of the relation of the two houses of congress in which he laid down a principle with object to amendments strikingly similar to controversy now existing between the nouses of the British parliament. He stated it was belief that it was the intent of the Constitution to con- fer on the house of representatives the power to originate revenue legis- lation and to limit the same in its amendments to “germane amend- ments” which did not contemplate an entirely new tariff bill. He believed that the representatives of the people in the house, who arere- sponsible to their constituents every iwo years, should not thus be inter- fered with by the upper house. This sentiment was applauded by Repre- sentative Hill of Connecticut. TAKES UP PENSION BILL House Ruching Work on the Appropri. ation Measures. Washington, Dec. 14.—When the house took up the third big legislative appropriation measure—the pension bill—it was planned to throw “three speeds ahead” and dispose of the measure as fast as it pushed through the first two—the Indian and rivers and harbors bills. The pension bill as introduced car- ried $153,688,000, which is about $2,- 900,000 less than last year’s bill. In the report presented with the bill it was set forth that the government has paid out up to date more than $4,730,000,000 for pensions. The legislative bill will be the next of the routine measures to reach the foor. DEITZ GETS CONTINUANCE Case of Cameron Dam Defender Goes Over for a Time.
