Beverly, Mass, Aug. IA number
of fat official plums will be distrib-
uted on Monday when Secretary of
Treasury Macveagh arrives here with
the list of tariff experts to be appoint
ed by the president.
After congress had passed the Aid
rich tariff bill in spite of the fact that
many members could not understand
the meaning of numerous clauses. it
came face to face with the fact that
somebody would have to understand
them or the law couldn't be enforced.
So 1t was voted to allow the presi-
dent to appoint several tariff experts
who should interpret the meaning OF
the schedules, and particularly decide
disputes arising as to the maximum
of several of the most involved sched-
ules.
An appropriation Of $4,000 was
made for this work and the number
of appointees was left to the presi-
dent. That gentleman had troubles Of
his own and turned the matter over
Ito Secretary of Treasury Franklin
Mac yeagh, who took the task to Dub
lin. N. H.. with him.
Mr.. Hitchcock fastened to the as
sistance of Secretary Macveagh and
the fact that he felt free TO leave
Dublin and come to Beverly shows
that the task practically completed.
There is the greatest anxiety among
possible appointees. Seventy-five
thousand dollars win provide salar-
les Of $4,000 year for five men. 81
500 for ten and only 5000 . year
for fifteen.
