COAL SMOKE CAUSES
MANY COMPLAINTS

On the west side of the cavity which
is to be filled with the new Arson
Mills building, there is an energetic
donkey engine working from sun to
sun, lifting the concrete hopper from
the basement floor to the runawayS
where it is dumped into barrows for
distribution over the job. This same
donkey engine has a wheezy whistle
and a smoke stack. Both whistle
and stack work overtime
The whistle is hardly loud enough
to be heard across the lot, but the stack
make up in volume what the whis-
tie lacks in tone quantity. When the
hostler for the donkey fires up, the
cloud of smoke which rolls from the
abbreviated pipe fills the stores and
offices in the surrounding block with

from now on revise the tarlff gradual
" by scientific business methods.
This cannot be done and ought not to
be attempted by tariff commission.
The idea of a tariff commission au-
thorized to report rates of duty vio-
lates the spirit of that clause Of the
constitution of the United States
which provides that all bills for rails
ing revenue shall originate in the
house of representatives. An execu-
tive tariff commission vested with
power to recommend rates might and
frequently would be in on& eonfiict
with the house of repre1 lptetiyes.
Such situation would be intoierable
and the possible creation fof such a
situation iss not to be thought of.
An executive tariff bureau could
accomplish nothing in the way of col
!lecting facts that cannot be done by
1.-THE existing departments under direc-
ton of the president with ample APP
preparations in accordance with the
congressional authority. But the sug-
gestion and adoption of specific duties
and taxes always have been and al
ways must be solely legislative func-
ton. Even if a tariff commission
should be created and should recon-
ment changes in the rates of duty, it's
recommendation would be abortive
under the present legislative proceed
ure in congress.
I'm order to replace the present un-
satisfactory method, two things are
necessary. The first requisite is up
to-date information, the fullest and
most searching, on every subject re-
lated to the tariff. This information
should be gathered through the vari-
Gus departments and by specially
trained experts under the direction of
the president and should be trans
mitted as rapidly as secured to the
house of representatives.
when the information disclosed a
defect in the tariff the information
would be like vast, complicated ma
chine, that no one could start, be-
cause the lever for setting it in mo-
ton could not be found In the house
of representatives an amendment to
a paragraph of the tariff might be
considered without opening up the
whole tariff but under present rules
such bill in the senate could be
amended without limit.
1.-THE second requisite, therefore, for
scientific tariff adjustment, the means
of making information fruitful, the le-
yer for starting the engine, is joint
rule of the two houses of congress,
whereby paragraph OF a revenue
law can be amended without opening
up for consideration any portion of
the law. The rule should provide that
when the ways and means committee
reports a bill to alter a paragraph of
a revenue law, no amendment to the
bill that is not germane to the para
graph shall be in order"
