tarih acts had been discussed pro AMI
con among Senators before the bill
passed the Senate, but wholly as as re-
lated to the shipping interests. He
continued: ut certainly was not in my
mind, or in the mind Of anyone that
know of, to deal at all with the mat
ter Of discriminating duties as affect
ing the Canadian railroads or railroad
transportation in bond. Although
member of the conference committee, I
did not, perhaps, criticise the phrase
ology employed as l should have done,
but the intent, scope and purpose of
it was simply to give an opportunity
for revision Of our treaties with other
nations respecting our commerce by
water. The question of railroad trans
portation was not discussed, nor was
the relation of the railroads to the
subject considered. Since the passage
of the bill 1 have examined the section
more critically, and think it is strong
Ter in it's phraseology, and more suscep-
tible to interpretations than was in
tended by those who proposed it. 1t
was proposed by the House members
of the conference, and it was thought
to be wise and proper thing to do, but
only in general terms, and not as to
phraseology, the object being to avoid
further legislation should new treaties
be made"
In concluding his statement Mr.. AL
lison said: 1T was not in my mind that
the bill would have any effect at pres
cat; nor, in fact, until there was re-
vision or abrogation of our commercial
treaties with other nations, or some Of,
them"
The testimony Is complete and I'M
contradicted that the provisions added
to the customary discriminating duty
section were not in the Dingley bill as
it passed the House, were not in the
amended bill that passed the Senate,
but were inserted when the bill was in
conference without their effect being
understood by the conference commit
tee or the character of the changes be-
ing discovered by the House or Senate
when the conference bill was reported.
Chairman Allison, Senator Chandler
and other members of the Senate and
House plead guilty to care. essness and
ignorance. Somebody must have been
guilty of something even less defensi-
Bile. Now that it has been made clear
that Congress did not intend the sec
tiCn to have the construction sought
to be placed upon it, there is more than
ordinary curiosity to see what the
government law department will do
about it,
The justice or policy of discrimi-
mating tax against railroad lines run
ming partly through Canada is not the
question. 1t is the morality or other
wise Of "sneaking" through important
legislation without Congress knowing
It's character. Is section % the only
part of the tariff law in which sharp
game was played for some selfish pur-
pose? How much Objectionable legis-
lation is due to the '1nattention or
carelessness" which Senator Allison adj
mits to be responsible for the sweep
ing change discovered in the character
of section % of the tariff law?
