MERIT IN LONGWORTH BILL
Measure May Not De Perfect, But ls
at Least Good Foundation
to Work On.

The present Republican congress
has the opportunity before 1t to place
the handling of the tariff question on
a business basis, where it should be.
The Longworth bill presents the mat
ter in a tangible form, and while 1t
may be defective in some respects
II at least furnishes a good founda-
tion to work on.
The bill will be criticized in at
least two particulars. 1t gives the
tariff commission, which it creates.

to compel them to testify Further

the commission Is not to submit in
formation to congress unless congress
asks for 1t. Unless these restrictions
are eliminated 1t is more than doubt
full that the measure will prove salts

operation.
How will it be possible fer the COM
mission to get all the information
needed for the framing of just i'm
port duties unless it can compel men
to testify even though their financial
interests can best be served by con-
cealing information? 1t can report in
stances of refusal to testify to con-
gress for such action as that body
may wish to take but what probabil-
ity of adequate majority action
would there be in an ordinary case of
this kind?

The public is clearly entitled to the
facts regarding the differences be-
tween the cost of production at home
and abroad, and their relation to the
tariff. The country can then decide
whether the duty levied is fair one
or not - the facts ascertained by
the commission are placed on file J

WAIT FOR THE FACTS
THEN THE TARIFF CAN BE IN
TELLIGENTLY REVISED.
Report of Board at Present at Work
on the Subject Should Be Con-
sidered Before Congress
Takes Action.

There is just one way in which the
tariff may be properly revised and
that is to revise it in accordance
with the facts of production cost as
determined by board of expert in
vestigators.
No matter whether this or that
schedule of the present Payne law is
believed to be at variance with the
Republican protection principle, no
matter whether this or that schedule
is alleged to work hardship to the
ultimate consumer, there is just one
way in which those schedules can be
revised to the ultimate good of scien-
tific and equitable tariff making ana
that is in the manner we have just
indicated.
The government has tariff board
which is probing to the quick the
various elepents in production cost
both here and abroad. This board
has not gone about it's work super
ficially or empirically after the man.
ner of the ways and means commit
tee 1t Is prosecuting its investiga-
ton in the true scientific spirit.
Naturally, such investigation takes
time; but when once the facts are ad-
duced the people may rest assured
that they are right.
With such board at work upon the
tariff and with it's promise of reports
during the coming year, it must ap-
pear the height of folly, demagogy
and what not else, for newspapers
and statesmen" of certain type to
clamor for immediate revision of the
suspected schedules.
Granting that these schedules re-
quire revision, are congress and its
committees in any better position to
accomplish an equitable and scientific
adjustment of the duties than they
were last year? Assuredly not. III
anybody, outside the tariff board, has
| been gathering authoritative tarin
| data, determined by exhaustive first
| hand research, the country has yet
| 10 hear of 1t.
Whatever revision were made be-
| fore the report Of the tariff board
would therefore be made In the dark
| just as its predecessors. A reduction
| of certain duties, would, to be sure,
meet with the favor of the unthinking
| who have been taught by demagogues
| to believe that any kind of tariff re-
vision is all right il it Is downward.
| But such unfounded tinkering would
| Just as surely be inimical to the cause
of honest, scientific tariff making.
To revise any schedules now, with
the report of the tariff board still
pending, would not only appear as
reputation of that exceptionally able
body, but would be blow to the
future authority Of similar expert
bodies and the cause of scientific
non-political revision which they rep
resent.

A Permanent Tariff Commission.

- itidIC'it oi
Congress now has before it the
first draft of the measure favored by
the administration for the creation of
a permanent tariff commission, which
shall carry on with greater assur-
ance of continuity and an entire alb
sence of partisanship the investiga'
tions now being made by the com.
mission appointed by the president.
The present body can exist solely by
the sufferance of each successive
congress. whereas the commission
contemplated in Representative Long
worth's bill would do for the scien'
tif1c study OF the costs of production,
SO far as they enter into the problem
of tariffs, very much what the inter
state commerce commission does In
its own appointed field.
Doubtless there are many details
in the bill that will need perfecting
and will call forth criticism, but the
principle embodied in the measure
Is one to which the Republicans are
now committed, and which the senti-
ment of the country will cordially
approve. The Democrats in the pres
ent congress may for partisan pur
poses put obstacles in the way of the
measure, but If 1t shall be passed
they will find themselves in the COM
ing session in the uncomfortable po-
sition cf opposing the first long step
which has been made toward a scien-
tific method of tariff revision.-Chi-
