most important features Of the Payne
tariff bill is the numerous changes in
the phraNeology OF the present law

These changes about which there
probably will be considerable discus
sion IN both Houses We're the result of
suggestions occurring during the big
preliminary work of the clerical force
of the committee and the special as
sistants engaged for tariff revision
work They have been made with Il
view to clearing up any ambiguity in
the various paragraphs of the Dingley
bill and to make the new measure con-
form with the decisions of the courts
and the board of appraisers.
Major II. NJ Lord, Z. S. A, who has
been at work with the committee on
ways and means during the present re-
vision was clerk of the committee dur
ing the Dingley revision. Speaking of
the work performed by the committee
and its experts in the preparation Of
the Payne bill, Mr.. Lord said today
that the most persistent argument ad-
vanced in favor of the creation Of 4
tarif commission was that the con-
glessional committee having the tar
