now the law of the United states. 1t is
not reasonable because everybody
knows that the President. whose sig
nature is affixed to this law and whose
public utterances prove II, VIII not
call such an extra session and Will not
accede to our request 1t is not digni-
fled because it simply lends ourselves
to the advertising scheme of rather
sensational paper in New York. 1t Is
| fruitless. because If the Congress
should be called together everybody
knows that nothing would be done in
the way of revision or repeal Of this
law.
| Another thing--nobody now wants
| the matter taken tip in that way. At
this stage of affairs both Democrats
and Republicans are not in favor of
ripping up the tariff act by the roots
and either substituting another one or
I going into another series of log-rolling
operations in regard to revision. The
| modern, scientific. and as l think. the
proper way to revise the tariff. is to
| take it up schedule by schedule and
| get it in sense out of politics and
view it from scientific standpoint
| and listen to the recommendations of
tariff board, commission of ex-
perts whose information gained in a
non- bipartisan way on each subject
! carefully considered can safely be used
as basis of action by Congress. When
We get after the matter of the tariff
we ought to get at it that way and
net in the fashioned way. We can
no. afford to stay here and put our
time on these things Of national mo-
| ment. anyhow, as I view it. and
agree with the gentleman from Var
mouth that it would be inexpedient and
unwise for Us to pass this resolve at
| the present time. regardless of our
feelings on the matter of the tariff
| MIR. PATTANGALL of Watervlle:
| Mr.. Speaker. l wish to say a word as
TO the reason why am opposed to the
| passage of this resolve This resolve
| calls upon the President TO call an en-
ira session of Congress to consider IL
| revision of tho tariff That means of
| course a session of the incoming Com
| SreSs, because an cxtTa session of the
| present Congress. which is Republican
| III both Branches. would be absurd !:
and besides Il regular session of that
| Congress is now going The next
| House will be Democratic. Now be-
| cause that Congress mas Democratic
House and Republican Senate it
