members of the same political

lone a trained statistician; and one
ian eminent economist, who has
made a special study of wages and
|cost of living. Commissioners
would draw salaries at the rate of
$4,000 year.

for by the LaFollette bill would
be charged with the duty of revis-
ing tariff schedules In accordance

power to this commission to make
inquiries. to summon manufactur-
ers and importers and to compel
the production of books and pa

Ter to make inquiries abroad.
