lican congressional committee. this even
ing. The President is eminentiy practical
and orderly in his dealings with public !,
questions and endeavors 10 give them their
proper time. as well as place"
This expression was made with reference
to the White House conference last night,
when public questions were discussed.
While none of those present care to bs
quoted in detail. this much may be au-
thoritatively stated: Three propositions
were established in the views expressed BY
those present-hrst. that revision al this
session of Congress is impracticabe; sec
ond. that ultimate revision OF some Of the
schedules is probable, no one present hold
ing the Dingley act 20 be so sacred that
its trainers cannot alter IL when necessity
demands; third, that President Roosevelt.
while holding the second view, does not
want Congress to promise tariff revision
unless II can carry out the promise.
OF those present at the conference Senator
Allison OF Iowa, Senator spooner OF Wis
consin. Representative Hull Of Iowa, Rep
resentative Babcoek of Wisconsin and
Representative Overstreet Of Indiana were
most earnest in urging that the Republican
party in Congress must ultimately take
cognizance of the necessity OF revising
some schedules of the tarin act I'm rec
Spouse 20 the demands OF public opinion.
This view of the case was clearly presented
by the officials OF the campaign committee,
and the logic OF the arguments admitted
by the President. The practieability OF ac-
ton was then gone over. all agreeing. as
stated. that nothing could be done at this
session. The suggestion that this Congress
might commit itself upon revision was met
by an assertion from the President that
he did not want the Republican Congress
TO commit itself unless there was assur-
anee that the promise could be carried out.
The President feels that the administra-
ton should not take up tariff revision until
ready to go along as rapidly as possible 10
a new law.
