Van Cleave, president of the Nation

er of the. recent tariff bill at Indian
apols discussed the tariff bill today
and said:
From the cursory views have
given the Payne bill feel safe in
saying it is an honest attempt to car
ry out a promise Of the Republican
platform to meet the expectations of
the country. l confess that a few
changes of the bill will give something
of surprise. They are little great

cuss any specific point in the meas
ure now, but | believe that the ways
and means committee did the best it
could with the material at hand and

sure which beset it."
He repeated the assertion made be-
fore the tariff commission that the
framing of such bill was too great
task for the ways and means COM
mittee. He declared tae tariff commits
sion should be formed by congress.
Reported Back Favorably.
Chairman Payne, of the ways and
means committee, reported the bill
back to the house at 1902 today with
tae recommendation that it be passed.
Payne's Report.
WASHINGTON, March 1s.-The re-
pert submitted by Payne set forth two
reasons for revising the tariff this
time. The first, tlat after twelve
years operation under the present
tariff, many new conditions have
arisen. so as to render it advisable
that rates be adjusted. This has been
confirmed by information received by
lne committee. and a large number
81 rates have been readjusted
Second. Since the passage of the
Dingiey act, large number of for
slgn countries have adopted tariffs
with maximum rate, and as will be
round IN section three of the present
tariff act, not sufficient broad in scope
70 meet this changed condition. The
report tells how information in the
work of revision was assembled. The
report recommends all expenses of
