Participate in Debate.
Washington, Dec. 14.-Contending
that the present tariff law imposes ex-
cessive duties and that the country at
large demands it's amendment Senator
Cummins of Iowa delivered a speech
In the senate in advocacy of his reso-
luton limiting the power of amend
ment of bills dealing with the separate
schedules of the law
The speech was the first attack of
the session on the Payne -Aldrich law.
The Iowa senator disavowed any in.
tention of opening up a general tariff
discussion. Still, he found it difficult
to avoid a general expression on tariff
questions.
''It is well known" he said, that l
consider excessive and inexcusable
many of the duties levied by the law
of 1909. | know also that many people
believe that the law should be amend.
ed. During the recent political strug.
gle did not hear a single utterance
by q Republican that did not admit
that the law contains duties that
ought to be changed and that it is the
duty of the congress to act speedily
Declaring then that under existing
parliamentary usage in the house and
senate the amendment of a tariff law

provision of the tariff law without TAX
ing up the entire tariff question.
Changes in Rules Real Issue.
"The real ISSUE" he said, SIS
whether we shall so amend our rules
as to permit the amendment of the
law, schedule by schedule"
Mr.. Cummins had not proceeded fan
until he was compelled to submit tC
Interruptions. Senators Aldrich, Hale
Lodge and Carter participated in the
debate.
Mr.. Aldrich afforded the Iowa sen
dIOT ny cApiCooihS
concurrence with the latter.
81 think" said the Rhode lslant
member, that we are all agreed tha
it is desirable to take up the tariff By
subjects, not by schedules.
He expressed doubt, however, as tt
the adequacy of the Cummins amend
ment to accomplish this result, con
tending that the adoption of the reso
luton would have the effect of curtail
ing the constitutional power OF th'
house to originate tariff legislation.
Mr.. Bacon also contended for thu
right of each house to formulate IT
own rules.
Mr.. Hepburn would not give assen
to the proposition that all Republic
ans are agreed to the policy of piece
meal tariff revision; he advocated tn
protective policy and declined to D.

Iowan Who Introduced Measure Among
Those Who Spoke in Favor of Its
Adopton--chairman Payne Ridi-
cules Idea of Creating "Non-Parti.
san, Dsinterested" Board of Any
Kind for Any Purpose.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE opening
gun in the fight for a permanent tar
iff commission with inquisitorial pow
ers as to the facts underlying the cost
of production at home and abroad of
tariff made articles was fired before
the house committee on ways and
means when Representative Good OF
Iowa and Joha g Ccbh, president of
the National Tariff Commission asso-
citation, composed of over one hundred
boards of trade and chambers Of COM
merce, spoke in favor of the Good
tariff commission bill.
Representative Good declared the
essence of his demand to be for per.
manent tariff commission, with power
to ascertain actual facts, such as
would be needed to enable congress to
enact tariff law intelligently, but
without power to make specific recon-
mendations as to actual duties.
Mr.. Good stated he would make the
appointments to the board without re.
gard to politics and in his bill had
suggested that the five members be
chosen as follows:
Two having special knowledge of
the producing interests of the country,
one lawyer conyersant with industrial
and commercial conditions and the
tariff laws of foreign countries and
one economist and statistician.
Chairman Payne interrupted to say
that one OF the most popular fallacies
regarding the framing of tariff laws
was that the ultimate consumer was
not represented. He stated that the
importer, who was interested in low
duties, was, in fact, a representative
of the consumer.
Payne Opposes Suggestion.
Mr.. Payne said he took no stock in
the theory that it was possible to Gre
ate a "disinterested, non-partisan"
board of any kind for any purpose. He
was also opposed to the suggestion
that it was possible to take the tariff
out of politics and said he was inter.
ested in letting in the light of truth
on all tariff bills, but was not in favor
of abandoning the present plan unless
a better one was suggested.
Mr.. Payne then went further and
| enunciated his idea of the relation OF
| the two houses of congress in which
| he laid down a principle with object
| to amendments strikingly similar to
controversy now existing between the
houses of the British parliament.
| He stated it was belief that it was
the intent of the Constitution to con
fer on the house OF representatives
the power TO originate revenue legis
lation and TO limit the same in its
amendments to ''germane amend
ments" which did not contemplate ar
entirely new tariff bill.
He believed that the representatives
of the people in the house, who are re
sponsible to their constituents every
two years, should not thus be inter
fered with by the upper house. This
sentiment was applauded by Repre-
sentative Hill of Connecticut.

Oranges Are Steady.
Navel oranges are among the life

are among the most popular fruits OF
the Christmas season. 1t is predicted
that the price will drop after the Santa
Claus season is over and that the crop
will hold out during the winter.
The cheap grades Of apples have
been sold out and the b,x apples are
being received. They are popular for
