MIR. TAWNEY'S STORY
SAYS SECRETARY ROOT DRAFTED
THE PORTO RlCAN BILL.

Minnesota Congressman Gives the Presi
dent as His Authority for the Statement
and Says the Ways and Means Commit
tee Did Not Know of the Bills Existence
Before Its Presentation.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The Post
prints interviews with the Republican
members of the ways and means COM
mittee on the authorship of the Porto
Rican tariff bill. Mr.. Tawney made
the distinct statement that the bill was
drafted by Secretary Root, but his col
leagues on the committee were more or
less non committal as to the bills au-
thorship. Representative Payne IN.
", chairman Of the committee, said ne
brought the bill to the committee on his
own responsibility.
eve became convinced said Mr.
Payne, "that some revenue must be
raised for the island Of Porto Rico. The
enactment of tariff law seemed to be
the best way to raise it. was con-
WINGED that the bill was a proper one
and am still Of that opinion
ut has been said that you stated in
the Republican conference that the bill
was drawn by Secretary Root
II was asked in the Republican con-
ference" replied Mr.. Payne, "if the hill
had not been drawn by Mr.. Root. l
did not answer that question.
Representative Dalzell (Pa.), who
ranks next to Chairman Payne on the
ways and means committee, declined to
discuss the bill or say whence it's draft
was received, as did Messrs. Hopkins
and Long. Representative Tawney
(Minn.) said:
Positive Root Is the Author.
"The first that the Republican men,
bers of the ways and means committee
saw of the Porto Rican tariff bill was at
first conference on the measure. Only
Republican members Of the committee
were present at that conference. The
bill was presented by Chairman Payne.
There were but two other Republicans
on the committee, Messrs. Dalzell and
Russell, who, before it's presentation,
knew of the existence Of such bill or
of any plan to depart from the free
trade proposition
"Where did the bill come frOm?"
"From the secretary Of war, Mr..
Root" replied Mr.. Tawney.
"Do you know that personality"
II know it personally, but not from
statements made by either Mr.. Payne
or Secretary Root he replied. II was
at the White House and saw the presi-
dent before the Republican conference
was called and I told him that state
ment would likely be made to the Re-
publicans Of the house that the tariff
bill had been drawn by Secretary Root
and that the ways and means commit
tee in trying to secure it's passage were
only following out Secretary Roots
suggestions. The president answered
that if such a statement was made it
should be coupled with all explanation
that Secretary Root had drawn the bill
in the line Of duties of his office, just as
heads of departments often do, upon re-
quest"
