NATIONAL PACKING COMPANY
II IL Sought to Lift the subject Out
Of Politics and Place II on
Broad Business
Basis.
NATIONAL PACKING COMPANY

Washington, Feb. 2.-Presldent Tai
is planning a sweeping investigation
Of the whole subject Of the tariff b.
the tariff board authorized In thu
Payne bill. This board Of tariff ex
perts having been directed by the
president to prepare a comprehen
BIve plan under which such an In
vestlgatlOn may be conducted OF
scientific principles. in one Of the ap
preparation bills shortly to Be intro
duced, the sum of $4,000 will be ask
ed to enable the board to carry on the
inquiry.
The president believes that the
tariff board could easily use 100000
In the next ~ months In the sort 81
investigation he desires, but he will
be satisfied to make beginning, and
broaden the scope Of the investisa'
ton next year.
An interesting situation will arise,
1t Is expected, when the appropriation
Of $4,000 for the purpose Of the
tariff board comes UP for discussion
Chairman Tawney, OF the house com
mittee on appropriations said that he
had assured the president, after sew
eral talks concerning the tariff board
that he would insert a provision In one
OF the bills for the amount named,
But the senate will almost certainly
demand to know what the money ia
for, and will fight any effort to use
the board for the plan which the presi'
dent has in view.
1t will be recalled that during the
debate on the Payne bill there was
persistent opposition to a tariff com.
mission and the provision for the
tariff board was only consented to
after there had been cut from the
clause the stipulation that the board
was only to assist the president In en-
forcing the maximum and minimum
features and was not to report to
congress. The president replied to
this In his first annual message, In
which he informed congress that he
proposed to interpret the law SO as to
give him the power to use the board
in the manner above stated.
Accordingly, since the labors Of the
board in connection with the maxi
mum and minimum clauses are aboct
nearing a conclusion, he has already
put them 10 work on the more com.
prehensive plan. Working with the
bureau Of statistics, number Of facts
have already been collected
II q situation arises at any time In
the near future which seems to de-
mand . revision Of any Of the tariff
rates, the president will then avail
himself Of his tariff facts to phs the
matter in It's proper light before con.
gress.
What the presidents new move is
looking forward to is the lifting OF
tarlff making entirely out Of politics
50 that II may be treated on broad,
scientific basis. The Impression Is
fixed here that there win never ag1in
be = complete revision of the tariff
on party lines 1t Is on the reason
ableness Of this proposition that the
president will depend to secure the
appropriation Of $4,000 which con'
gress will be asked to make Tor the
tariff investigation at the present scs
sion
