Emu NOW In SiBnus
Tariff leaders Of the House are pre-
pairing to handle the tariff bill expe-
ditiously when it comes back to that
body, saws Washington correspond
ent. No definite program has yet
been arranged, but the plans have ma
tured sufficiently to satisfy those in
charge of the bill that there will not
be another long-drawn-out debate. II
need be series of special rules will
be presented to close debate on various
schedules and then final rule to wind
up tie whole question. Such course
will be adopted, however, only in case
the debate gives promise of becoming
interminable. In will not be used to
limit a reasonable discussion of the
Senate changes. Members OF the Ways
and Means Committee expect the bill
to be returned TO the House within the
next ten days. 1t is expected, how
ever, that there will bs several days
delay after the bill passes the Senate
in order thas careful revision OF the
Senate changes may be made and a
new print of the bill issued
Representative Breckenridge of Ar
kansas, a member of the committee,
says the first step in the House on the
receipt of the bill will be to refer 1t to
the Ways and Means Committee. This
body will take several days, perhaps a
week, in carefully going over the bill,
and determining on the policy to be
tail Thus far there has been no de-
sire to fix policy, as it was likely to be
construed as improper influence on the
Senate. But with the Senate's work
complete, the House members will go
over the bill in detail to see how far
they will recommend an agreement
with the Senate and to what ex-
tent they will join issue with
the Senate changes. The deter
limitations of the committee will be-
largely advisory to the House, but
they are likely to fix the future pro-
gram of the confe ence. The commit
tee will select the House conferrees, to
be recommended to Speaker Crisp for
his appointment.
Rules for Debate on the Bill.
When the bill is once in conference
frequent reports will be made to the
House on such agreement as may be
reached. Some of the Wavs and Means
members say ten days will suffice for
agreements. Others are less sanguine,
and foresee the necessity of rule, or
series OF rules, to prevent another pro-
tracted debate.
Representative Outhwait, of the
Rules Committee, says there will be no
disposition to cut of fair debate. "The
House will not consider itself bound
hand and foot by the Senate amend
ments. he said. "On the contrary, they
will be fairly and reasonably dis
cussed. The good sense of the House
will undoubtedly dictate when the de-
bate has proceeded far enough. If,
however, rule becomes necessary,
one can undoubtedly te brought in and
passed for closing the debate. AS yet,
however, no suggestion of rule has
been made"
Representative Burrows, Republi-
can member Of the Rules Committee,
says: "A rule can be un 1oubtedly made
effective in disposing of debate on the
tariff. 1t can prescribe limited time
for discussion, and then direct that the
previous question be considered as or
dered without any dilatory motions.
OF course the House would have to
vote on such rule, but II the gentle
men on the other side determine on
crowding the bill through they can
probably get through rule st 'ong
enough to accomplish that purpose"
