TOO PESSIIfISTTC.

1t is somewhat puzzling to find newspapers

minded. belittllng the political and economic
uses of a permanent tariff commission. They
are plunged in pessimism when they are asked
TO believe that a permanent commission study

and month out compiling information never be-
fore furnished TO the public regarding the dit
ferential in cost Of production here and abroad
and recommending such changes in tariff rates
as will limit protection to the real need of pro
lection will help materially 10 improve our
tariff laws and make them sIbservient TO ma
tional rather shan TO individual, local and sec
tional interests. No" say these critics, in
effect that remedy Will not work. We have
had tariff commissions before, and Congress
paid no attention TO their recommendations. 1t
will not now. Tariff making is Il scramble
for special fayors and political advantage. and
will continue TO be such scramble, even II
"a permanent commission is appointed
The Washington Star put the matter blunt
IL the other day when it said, in reply 10 some
of our arguments in favor Of a commission:
Interests are varying and conflicting All
must be considered, and in some measure recog-
nized. In Congress they are presented by men
who represent them and are responsible to con-
stituencies FOR their actions concerning them
out of the contest comes tariff law which $
a compromise of all the interests in evidence;
and all legislation is compromise. We hear Il

COTTON AND wool
From The Chicago Tribune.

1t would be a gross misuse of language to say
that tariff bill which left the cotton and woollen
schedules untouched was downward revision
measure. The Aldrch bill. if il were to become
a law with the administrative sections he has
introduced, would make those schedules still more
burdensome to consumers. That is why Senator
Deliver who has forgotten the campaign
promise of downward revision performs a plain
duty in attacking them.

Again The Star" said:

How beautiful in theory! And yet how would
The arrangement work? Experts are now IN evi-
dence in the Senate. All one side? Nay
Divided. like the poorest politicians. Each side
has its experts And such exporting was never
seen before outside Of a courthouse.
But it is the kind of Exporting" now on exhi-
bftion in Congress that in our opinion, per-
manent tariff commission would help TO make
an end of. In previous experiments at tariff
making there have been experts working for
a higher duty or against a higher duty, each
class representing not the government or the
public but a special private interest. Each side
has produced er pGrte testimony, needing to be
freely discounted. Neither has sought to de
termine the facts mpartially, and each has
struggled 10 confuse both the lawmakers in
Congress and the public. We have had enough
OF that injurious sort of special pleading. What
we want now is full information from a body
not affiliated with any private interest but
working under governmental authority for the
public benefit
A permanent tariff commission could give lis
some clear light on mysteries which we now
understand darhly only through the aid of
biassed experts. We do not share the idea that
Congress cannot IegiSlate mtelligently on the
tariff question. 1t can and viii do so soon

tive or Senator is unable 10 combat demands

his district or state. He does not want to see
his constituents made to suffer an injustice.
Yet he has no means of measuring the justice
of their claims. He cannot say: The federal
tariff commission disagrees with you on the
facts of the ease, and it is for you to show
that II is wrong and you are right" He
must give the benefit of the doubt TO the inter
eSts which ask his support even though he Is
himself unconvnced by their representations
4 tariff commission would greatly aid Repre-
spntatives and Senators in protecting them
selves against imposition It would inform
the public and enable public sentiment 10 exert
Intelligent pressure on Congress It is absurd
10 say that tariff commission cannot do eff
fective work or that a more scientific tariff is
an unreaizable ideal Germany. for instance,
has tariff constructed by the government with
public ends in view. II is scientific in the sense.
of embodying a rational public policy. We
could have a similarly scientific tariff If
were TO take the same pains and employ the
same methods. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has as difficult and delicate tasks TO
accomplish as any tariff commission could
have Yet who talks now about the Interstate
Commerce Commission being a failure? In our
opinion the creation of a tariff commission
would mark as important a development in the
equitable application of protection did the
creation OF the Interstate Commerce Comyis
sion in the equitable regulation of interstate
transportation.
