Characterizing the Smoot. bill still far from perfect the Wyoming congressman stated that inasmuch as some of its provisions of doubtful wisdom had been passed upon so frequently by congress that he hac no hopes of their modification or correction at this time, and efforts along this line Would not be warrant- ed in opinion.
