al Opinion Plan Resolution.
Would Have Executive Departments
Commission Is Proposed.

The Republican leaders have reached an
Informal agreement TO adopt a joint reso-
luton Of the House and Senate 10 take
the place OF tari1 commission legislation.
The resolution, which is 20 be adopted
by both Houses ef Congress before the
adjournment OF the present session. il
present plans are carried out. will au-
thorize several OF the executive depart
ments or the government including the
Treasury Department. the State Depart
ment. and the Census Bureau. TO collect
the necessary data in regard 20 tariff
matters in preparation FOR the revision Of
the present DingIey schedule in 1909
These departments have always per-
formed this function whenever the enact
ment OF a new tariff law was IN con-
temptation. and the resolution in question
may not be regarded as strictly necessary
in order 10 accomplish the end in view. II
will. however, provide informal shape
for the performance OF the work which
the proposed tariff commission would per
:orm. and II is expected that the agita-
ton in favor Of a permanent commission
will, for the time being at least. disap-
pear.

quoted on the subject
Even II no such resolution as the one
described should be passed. the State

for this work by the passage of a reso-
