MENT TARIFF BOARD BILL
HAS Been DRAFTED
IT WILL PASSICONGRESS

the movement for a tariff commission

ences at the White House and at the
Capitol, the return of Representative
Longworth, of Ohio, to Washington
with a full draft of a bill creating a
commission and announcement Of
Chairman Payne, of the House Com
mittee on Ways and Means, that he
expected such legislation before
March 4th next.
Following a discussion with the
President over various features of the
legislative program for this session,
Mr.. Payne, who is Republican floor
leader of the House, announced tina.
he was quite sure a bill for a perman-
ent tariff commission, acceptable to
both Congress and the President,
would be put through the Senate and
House before this session ends, when
Democratic control of the House be.
gins. =
Later at Mr.. Payne's instance he
had a conference with Chairman
Henry C. Emery, of the tariff board
regarding the personnel and salaries
of the proposed commission.
Embodying features of the tariff
commission bills of Senators Bever-
idge, Of Indiana, and La Toilette, OF
Wisconsin, introduced at the last ses
sion of Congress, and of Goode, OF
Iowa, and Lenroot, of Wisconsin, at
this session, and following conferences
with a number of representatives be-
fore the holiday recess, Mr.. Long
worth, who is a member of the Ways
and Means Committee, has drawn &
bill which he expects to introduce
next week. The measure creates a
commission of five members, salaried
at $500 each, not more than three
of the same political party, with Of
fees at Washington, but empowered
| to meet anywhere. 1t is given wide
powers of collection and collation. OF
facts, without authority to make re-
Communications, and instead of MAX
| ing fixed reports it can only report on
special call of Congress or of the
President.
The commission is authorized to
require confidential data from corpora
tions as to any certain subject, but
must never disclose the source OF
such data and must especially safe
guard such data from competitive in
terests.
An important provision of the Long
worth bill is a section defining its
scope of investigation. 1t authorizes
the commission to investigate the cost
of production of all articles covered
by the tariff, with special reference
to the prices paid domestic and for
eign labor, the prices paid for raw
materials, whether domestic or i'm
ported, entering into the manufactur-
ed arts, the condition Of domestic and
foreign market affecting the Ameri-
can products. including detailed infor-
nation of the cost of every element,
together with all other facts which,
in the commissions judgment, will be
helpful to Congress in proving equita-
BILE rates of duty on any articles and
in aiding the President ard other Of
ficials in administering the customs
laws.
1 One section re-enacts the maximum
: and minimum clause of the Payne
Aldrich tariff law.
The Ways and Means COMMITTEES
i will take up the commission question
very soon after Congress reconvenes.

SEAWEED FOR FOOD.

AS contribution to the discussion OF the
question of the cost of living, it is remarked
that seaweeds might be substituted fcr
cereals In England ten years ago 1t was
declared that the dinninution of the agr1-
cultural output in relation to the increase
of population would bring about q famine
by the year 1928 unless the plants known
TO exist in the sea could take the place OF
wheat and corn. In the North Atlantic
there is a vegetation which would suffice
to supply the alimentary needs of the popu-
lation of Europe and America, If practical
methods OF harvesting IL were available.
The seeweed cast upon the shores OF the
United States contains an amount OF pro-
teidS equivalent to the total cereal pro-
duction of Northwestern America So in
the event of a world famine, man would
lack nothing but the means of utilizing
these alimentary elements. Even when the
fisheries are fshed out, there will be as
coed food in the sea ever was caught.
