Washington, March senate today rejected 24 (A—The a motion to return the tariff bill to committee to limit the rate increases to farm products. A vote on final passage then was in order.

Those voting for recommittal were Senators Blease and Smith of + South Carolina; Thomas, Oklahoma; Cara’ , Arkansas; Wheeler, Mon- tana, and Walsh, Montana, demo- crats, and McMaster, South Dakof ve, North Dakota, and Pine, Okla- homa, republicans. La Follette Launches Attack Before a vote on passage could be started, Senator La Follette, of Wi consin, a republican independent leader, took the floor and attacked the measure as the “worst dtariff bill in the nation’s histor. “It should be known hefeafter as Grundy’s billion dollar tariff bill,” he asserted. LaFollette declared as he saw it, "a vote for the Grundy bill, either it passes the scnate, or when it comes back from conference, would be a vote to turn the senate into a mar- ket place where legislation is wr ten by bargaining and where the lobby with the largest number of votes to trade, dictates the terms of legislation.” “In view of the vote trading which transpired during the last three weeks of consideration of the bill,” he continued, “it seecms to me that a vote for the measure condones tha vete swapping methods by which many 6f its most iniquitous duties were secured.” Curtis.

Washington, March 24 (P—Modi- fication of the Jones act is favored by Chairman Wickersham of the Hoover law enforcement committee, who is of the opinion that éffective law enforcement is never plished by placing extreme penalties on minor violators. This view was disclosed with the making public today of recent testi- mony given by the chairman before the senate judici committee which heard him recently in exccu- tive session. The Jones 't imposes mum penalty of $10,000 five years in prison. Contrary to Sound Policy Wickersham told the committee the act covered offenses ‘“indiscrim- ately under the classification o felonies with the exception of pos- session and maintaining a nuisance.,” He said that was con- trary to what he regarded as *“‘sound legislative policy, adding: “I do not think you ever can en- force laws more effegtively by put- ting extreme penalties on minor vio- accom- a maxi- fine and Under questioning Wickersham said he thought judges had used “discretion” in applying the heavy penalties on minor offend Such discretion is given in the act. The commission chairman also said the dry laws could “be meas- urably enforced, Ithough human appetite” was wides d.
