FOR A TAR1FF COMMISSION.
Aim of Bill Introduced by Senator
La Toilette.

If a bill for the creation of a tariff COM
mission which was introduced today by
Senator La Toilette should become q law
it would be competent for the commission
and the President acting together to sus-
pend any tariff schedule and put on the
free list any article upon which there
was such combination as would con-
troll production, prices Of wages either In
the United States or in any foreign mar
ket. The bill provides for the appoint
ment of a commission of nine members.
one from each of the judicial circuits OF
the Union, and no one Of whom shall be
a member of Congress. Not more than
five are to be members of any one politi-
cal party. One is to be skilled in manufac-
turing another in agriculture, another
In imports. another a representative of la
Dor. the next lawyer skilled in the
tariff laws. the next all expert In tariff
and reciprocity, one in the knowledge of
production and accounting, another a
statistician who has made a study of the
foreign markets and the last IAN emf
nent economist" The members are to
receive a salary of 1900 each. and after
the first eleven years Of the existence of
the commission, each of the members is
to be appointed for ten years. The first
appointments are arranged to terminate
so that a new member shall be appointed
every year.
In presenting his bill Mr. La Toilette
said he would soon ask the Senate for
time to speak on the measure. In respect
to the section Of the bill authorizing the
suspension of duties. he said he had placed
that provision there as giving his own
views on the tariff. and because he be-
lieved Congress had a right to legislate
along those lines.

Absolute baiderdash,' said Represen-

renominated for Congress by the republi-

asked by a Star reporter today about the
story that the two delegates to the Chi
cago convention, chosen by the conven-
ton that nominated him. would vote for
Foraker for President, although in
structed for Taft.
Like myself he explained, "the gen.
tlemen chosen. c. L. Posten and Vane
Burley are personal friends of Senator
Foraker. But before they We're chosen
as delegates-and the selection was made
with the consent of Manager A. l. Vorys
and myself-they pledged themselves to
vote for Secretary Taft until nominated.
There is no more doubt about their vot-
ing for Taft than there is of Borys voting
for him.
