TARIFF COMMISSION WOULD
HAVE LIMITED POWERS-SE-
CURING DATA ONLY.
.PROGRESS|VES WILL AMEND It
ProgressiVes Will Demand Board
With Some Real Authority and
Likely Will Add Many Amendments
to the Measure.

Washington, Jan. 2.-The bill pro-
yiding for a tariff commission, which
Representative Longworth is to in
trduce in the house Immediately af-
ter the holidays, probably will not
receive the support its friends hope
for it, in its present form.
The Longworth bill creates a com
mission with very limited powers, ex-
tending only to the gathering of data
relating to the various tariff sched-
ules which is to be kept on file by
the commission until called for by
committees of congress. No report
is to be made by the commission and
it will be without power to make rec
concentrations.
The Longworth bill is said to be as
far as the republican house or5aniza-
ton will go toward enlarging the
powers of the present tariff board.
Those republicans who favor broader
powers for the proposed commisslno
have little faith that the Longworth
plan would accomplish anything
worth while and they will seek to
amend the bill so as to give the COM
mission a scope similar to that of the
interstate commerce commission.
They will insist that the proposed
commission shall have the power TO
initiate investigation and make spe-
cifc recommendations to congress
and that its recommendations shall
establish the fact of the reasonable
ness of rates of duty.
The administration is believed to
be chiefly concerned about fixing the
permanent character of the commits
sion. The presenttariff board has no
statutory existence and is dependent
upon an appropriation of congress to
carry on its work.
The president is pledged to do all
in his power to create a permanent
commission, and is understood to be
willing to take the best he can get If
hat principle is recognized by con
gress. Afterwards the powers of the
commission can be strengthened if
that shall be found to be necessary.
The wide divergency of views on the
subject in congress, however, makes
it improbable that the Longworth bill
will ge thro"g'. without radical
"hanges.
President Taft urged immediate ac-
ton of congress on the tariff COM
mission plan at a conference with
Representatives Dwight and Dazell
and other house leaders today. 1t
was conceded that some measure will
| be evolved from the house commit
tee on ways and means, but whether
it will be along the lines of a per-
manent commission, or provision
for the continuance of the present
tariff board was left, figuratiyeiy IN
the air.
The ways and means committee,
the president was assured, will take
up the subject at the earliest oppor-
tunity after congress convenes. So
far the committee is not committed to
any of the propositions. Several
members are firmly against any per
manent tdIfff commission. Meantime
the issue is before the senate commit
tee on finance.
