Two Forms of Tariff Revision.

4WO EOTuuS Oh 4dTlu hcVlS1O0s
I'm the foregoing remarks I have used
the words bill or bills because there are
two theories of tariff revision much dis
cussed at the present time: Q Revision
by one general bin and CD revision by
separate bills for separate schedules. This
is a matter net OF principle, but of
method. Individually l prefer the scheme
of separate bills for separate schedules.
taking the schedules with the most OBJ
noxious features first.
THE assumption. growing out of ignO-
rance in certain quarters that President
Taft or Senator Cummins or any other
republican has discovered something new
in tariff revision by the separate sched-
ule scheme is preposterous.
For the reasons set forth I am de-
cidedly in favor of issuing the invitations
to our newly elected brethren. because
am firmly of opinion that We ought to be-
gin this important and arduous labor as
soon as possible. and ii goes without say
ing that every democratic meinber-elect
to the Sixty-second Congress should par
tfcipate in selecting the committee on
ways and means, which will be charged
with preparing the tariff bill or bills

Unification His Object.

MY efforts always, but particularly
for the last two years, have been largely
directed to the unification OF democrats
We House democrats got together at the
long session for the first time in sixteen
years. and by the blessing of God we will
stay together The fact that the House
democrats did get together in the House
was one of the principal factors in our
November triumph.
LAS to the mode of selecting commit
tees in the event of my own election to
the speakership I would not care the
snap of my finger to exercise the power
of appointing them. L have stated that
to every democratic member who cared
to inquire my opinion. The exercise or
that power would undoubtedly have GER
tain unpleasant features.
That there is considerable public SEN
timent i'm favor of the House selecting it's
committees I'm some manner 10 be agreed
on is manifest. 1t seems to be strongest
in those debatable states where We must
get the votes to elect a President and the
House Of the Sixty-second Congress i'm
1912. In all those states the independ-
ent vote is decisive and the independent
voters appear to favor the election OF the
by the House. So let II be.
The plan meets my appreciation. I hope
it may be worked out so carefully and
wisely as not to demoralize the House.

Schemes Proposed.

Various schemes are proposed. Among
them is one to have the caucus elect the
committee on ways and means, and an
enlarged committee on rules, and to EN-.
power one OF those committees to select
the others with the proyiso that no mem.
Der of any committee which selects com.
mittees shall be q member OF any other
committee That plan or some other
equally safe. sane and inteliigentiy
wrought out should be adopted
I'VE have a golden opportunity, coupled
with grave responsibilities. In all that
we do we should remember that he serves
his party best who serves his country
well"

SO let it be. The plan meets my

In these words Champ Clark, pros.
pective Speaker Of the next House, gave
assent to the plan to choose the COM
mittees Of the next House through the
medium of committee on committees
rather than by appointment by the
Speaker. Mr.. Clark issued a statement
last night. setting forth his views upon
this subject. and explaining the reasons
for the calling Of caucus of demo-
cratic members-elect Of the next House
OF Representatives,, to be held in this
city January 10.
In his statement Mr.. Clark takes pains
to disavow any attempt at dictation of
party policies, washes his hands Of all
responsibility. and passes up to the
democratic membership all questions as
to ways and means Of tariff revision,
whether by means OF bills applying tn
contenting himself with a plea for care

pledges and the popular demand.
Text of the Statement.
Mr.. Clark'S statement follows:
1.-The caucus of all the democratic
members-elect to the Sixty-second Con-
gress for January 10. 1911, will be
called to select at least tentatively the
democratic members of the ways and
means committee i'm the Sixty-second
Congress The reasons for this con-
templated action are clear and incon-
trOvertible:
Il. We have promised to revise the
tariff, which promise should be reli-
giously fulfilled. all other ante-elec-
ton promises should be fulfilled.
so. 1t will require months of unremit-
ting and intelligent labor to collect the
facts on which to base a tariff bill or
bills, as the case may be, such bill or
bills as will be wise and just, and such
as we are willing to go to the country on.
''3. The people have right to know
what we propose to do at the earliest
moment consistent with the careful and
intelligent preparation of a tariff bill or
bills. SO as to reduce the worry OF un-
certainty to a minimum.
~. 1t would be unwise and unfair to
lay upon the members of the ways and
means committee the onerous and deli
cate duty of preparing a tariff bill or
bills and deny them sufficient time i'm
which to accomplish that task carefully.

Informed Mr.. Ballineer.

Shortly thereafter Marshal Love related
these details to Secretary Ballinger, then
commissioner. and received the opinion
which witness quoted to the Examining
today. After the commissioner had given
him the opinion that the claims had been
vitiated by the claimants combining, Love
hunted up Clarence Cunningham and told
him what Commissioner ,Ballinger had
told him.
Il am going to send letter to the de-
partment, Love said he told Cunning
ham, in which l am going to detail all
that has been told me, and l want you to
see the letter before / sent it away
He further stated today that he waited
for several days in a vain hope that
Cunningham would show up, but az he
did not. witness mailed the letter to the
general land office.
The cross-examination by Attorney
Gray ELECTED the statement from the wit
ness that il was conceded in Alaska and
elsewhere that the individual claims Of
cunningham and the others could not be
worked profitably by themselves, but
That company would have to be formed
Witness declared that he was OF the
opinion that one tunnel was being con-
structed which plainly showed that the
mines were all to be worked at once and
that upon inquiry he found that permits
sion had been given by the Interior De-
rartment at Washington to proceed with
the work q
When these claims went to entry
sid the witness in answer to a question
by Attorney Gray, the Guggenheims
were not supposed to be interested in
any Alaskan coal lands with the possible
exception OF certain English companies
operating there.
The attorney also brought out the state
ment of Louis r. CLAWS of yesterday that
Cunningham and the other claimants were
men OF large means, and Love said he
Was of the same opinion after Messrs
davidson and Mullen had been excepted
from the list. He then detailed how he
lad delivered the records of his division
t. Louis r. CLAWS after he had accepted
the marshalship, and declared he should
have awaited orders from the department
before needing any orders which were
given him by CLAWS.
In concluding he said, in reference to
the claimants: Il had found nothing to
Indicate that they had not always been
within their rights under a very poor
law"
A recess was taken at noon after q de-
cision was reached to hold the next ses-
sion Saturday morning.

Made Diligent Inquiry.

He worked diligently on the Cunning
ham claims, he said, and had many con-
versations with Clarence Cunningham at
Juneau and Seattle and on the boat
travelling between the two places. When
asked If Cunningham. had ever admitted
10 him that there was any understanding
what was to be done with the coal lands
after he and the others secured patents
on them witness said that Cunningham
invariably denied that there was any
agreement of the sort
Then, later, witness declared, Cunning
ham had told him at the Rainier Grand
Hotel in Seattle that number of the en-
trymen to the Alaskan coal claims had
held a meeting in Spokane. Wash, with
a view to enecting the organization Of q
trust company which would finance the
work on the coal lands which they were
about to acquire.
