The Tariff Board

BY vote of 1873 to 90 the house
of representatives passed the bill pro-
viding for permanent tariff board of
five members. Democrats split on the
measure. Champ Clark voted for the
bill, but ninety of his followers voted
against it. Mr.. James of Kentucky
tried to amend the measure by pro-
viding that two out of the five MEM
bers should be 'chosen by the minority
party in the senate and house of rep
resentatives. Mr.. BARNARD of In
diana tried to amend the measure by
allowing the president to appoint one
member, the presiding officer of the
senate two and the speaker two.
Democrats also sought to limit the
expenditures of the board first to
$3.50, 900 per year and then to $500, :
600. All these amendments We're de-
feated.

the special business of somebody to

Threats of war on the part of for
eign countries against the United
States did not bother Abraham Lin
coin, who said in speech at Spring
