personalities Sub Committee on

United States Senators.
CHAMP CLARK'S PROGRAM.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Rep. Champ
Clark save out a statement tonight
fully outlining his platform as the
prospective Speaker of the Democratic
House of Representatives in the next
Congress. tie proclaims himself in
favor Of the appointment.o Of committees
of the House by IL committee rather
than by the Speaker. and he states his
belief that the tariff should be re-
vised schedule by schedule, rather than
in enc single bill. These two subjects
says Mr.. Clark are the ones upon
which he has been continually i'm
portuned to make some statement. The
Democratic members of the House sent
out . call today for a caucus Jan. 10
OF the Democratic membership of the
next Housc Of representatives. Mr..
Clark's statement is both an cXplana-
ton of the call for that CAUCUS and a
declaration for his own platform as
the probable Speaker The caucus will
select a ways and means committee
and q rules committee. somewhat larg-
err than the present committee of seven
Mr.. Clark believes one Of these COM
mittces shodld then be empowered to
select the other committees of the
House.
There are Two theories Of tariff re-
vision says Mr. Clarl<s statement
revision by one general bill and. re-
vision by separate bills for separate
schedules. This is matter not OF
principle but of method. individuality
u prefer the scheme of separate bills
for separate schedules. taking the
schedules with the most obnoxious fea-
lures first perhaps in certain cases
haNing separate bills for particular
items"
The statement adds that whatever
method is decided upon. full hearing
as comprehensive az that which pre-
coded the framing Of the Payne-Ald.
rich law will be- had BY the new ways
and means committee.
The assumption. growing out Of iSnor
ance in certain quarters. says Mr..
Clark that President Taft or Senator
Cummins or any other Republican has
discovered something new in tariff revis-
ion by the separate schedule scheme IS
pleposterous. As far back as the go
