ia Washington, D. C.--Without wait.
for the first report Of the, tariff board
the Democratic leaders in the house
have agreed to vote to withhold ap-
preparations for continuing the board
In it's tariff work. Taking this fact
in connection with, the solid opposi.
ton Of the Democrats in both houses
Of congress to anything like tariff
commission; and it will at once be
seen that the movement, encouraged
by the insurgent tariff reduction ad-
vocates and the friends of a perma-
nent tariff commission will receive no
aid at the hands of the Democratic
opponents Of a Republican tariff pol.
icy. 5,c,.
It is stated upon the authority of
Representative Dixon of Indiana, a
member of the ways and means COM
mittee. that at secret meeting of
the Democratic members of the com.
mittee it has been decided to recon-
mend to the committee on appropria-
tons that no further provision be
made for the tariff board.
The grounds upon which the Demo-
cratic leaders have decided to proceed
are that the tariff board is the Great
ure of President Taft, that it will
merely collect facts and figures and
not make recommendations to con.
gress, and that 1t forms screen be-
hind which the president and the Re-
publican members of congress hide to
resist the efforts for tariff revision.
A great many of the conservative
Republicans in the house were opposed
to the creation Of tariff board when
provision was made for, it in the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law two years
ago. Speaker Cannon, Representative
Dalzell and others of that faction op.
posed the plan for tariff commission
and only accepted the tariff board
scheme upon the understanding that
the board was to confine its work to
the collection of facts and statistics
the cost of production, and
to make no recommendations to con-
gress. The board has no status by
law and its existence depends solely
upon the appropriations made from
year to year by congress. II these ap-
are cut off. the tariff
board goes out Of existence.
The first provision for the tariff
board was an appropriation of $4,000
which passed congress on the same
day that the Payne-Aldrich law vas
signed. The following year congress
appropriated s25O.O0O and the unex.
pended balance of the $4,000 For
the current fiscal year the appropria-
ton was 225.O0O. together with the
balance.
Pension Gill Develops Bitter Fight.
Advocates of increased pensions for
veterans of the Civil War battled on
the floor of the house in the final
stages of the fight to pass the Sher-
wood dollar a day" pension bill.
There were few opponents Of the in
creased pension. The contest lay be-
tween those who favored the Sher-
wood bill which establishes pension
based on length of service; and the
advocates of the Sulloway age-penston
