UNITED IN OPPOSITION
DEMOCRATS FIGHT THE TARIFF
CONFUSION PLAN.
Object to the Provision for Report
to Be Made Only to the
President.

The proposed appropriation OF qs-oU,VOp
for tariff commission which would re-
port to the President will meet with the
unanimous opposition of the democrats
Of the House.
Representative Underwood OF Ala
baina, member of the committee on
ways and means land one OF the demo-
cratic leaders, said:
I'VE will fight that provision TO = fin
isil. We are heartily in favor OF a
straight tariff commission to obtain the
facts about the cost of production in for
eign countries and other important de-
tails relating to the tariff, but we will
never consent to the establishment Of a
board to gather this Information for the
sole benefit Of the executive.
Basis of Opposition.
The power of originating revenue
producing legislation is lodged in the
House OF Representatives by the Consti-
tuition. This proposed commission would
enable the President to secure informa-
ton for his own use, upon which he could
base recommendations for tariff laws
that we would know nothing about He
could give US what information he chose
and withhold the balance. How could the
House of Representatives draw a proper
tariff law when the information upon
which We built it came to us only after
