Early in the extra session of 1911 bills
were introduced in the committee looking
to the Investigation and improvement of
express companies rates and practices.
These bills were referred TO the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and frequent con-
ferences and communications had with
them, with the result that the Interstate
Commerce Commission took up the in
yestigation in detail, with the beneficial
results already known to the public. The
committee also considered and reported
to the House and placed on the calendar
two bills on this subject-one to reduce
rates with express companies and articu-
late them with rural routes. the other to
take over the express companies and
operate them by the government. We
are of the opinion that while We cannot
claim credit for the progress made toward
a parcel post that our energetic efforts
were OF some value to the Post-office
Committee and to Congress in bringing
about some advancement in that direc-
ton"
Rules Committee. :.
Chairman Henry. OF the Rules Com
mittee, Is perhaps the most advanced Of
the progressives on the Democratic side
of the House. He Is one of the strongest
Wilson supporters. as well as a very
active Bryan man. And Chairman Henry
led the fight to procure a full and free
investigation OF the Money Trust-a fight
in which he first ran afoul OF Majority
Leader Underwood.
The first action Of the Sixty-second
Congress was to adopt a report from the
Committee on Rules which eliminated
Cannonism." said Mr.. Henry. in review
ing the work of his committee. The
adoption OF this report made the House
of Representatives what it was intended
to be-a deliberative body of representa-
tives Of the American people. where free
dom of speech and action could not be
stihed.

Tariff Big Issue.
As the tarifr win be the big issue before
the country this fall. and as II was the
issue on which the Democrats obtained
control of the House in the 1910 elections.
the work of revising the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law was pre-eminent. That nothing
of immediate benefit to the country was
accomplished along this line is not the
fault of the Democratic House or the
Observation-Disclosures coalition In the
Senate. While most OF the bills revising
schedules in the existing tariff law were
framed by the Ways and Means Com
mittee on the Democratic principle of
tariff for revenue only, and SO passed by
the House, three OF the measures were SO
altered in the Senate and changed and
agreed to in conference as to return q
good deal more than the actual necessary
revenue. Chairman Underwood, of the
Ways and Means Committee, except In
the case OF the sugar schedule, gave every
indication that he was framing tariff
legislation with a view to its passage and
enactment. The fact that two bills,
namely, the wool and steel measures,
We're passed in the House over the Presi-
dents veto, through the help OF Progress
sive and near-Progressive Republican
votes, may be taken as a criterion of
what the sentiment will be in the country
toward the tariff course pursued by this
Congress.
In the case of the sugar schedule in
which Underwood refused to consider the
Bristow amendment adopted by the Sem
ate, the record of the House or of Mr..
Underwood is not SO clear. 1t is the
claim OF the Progressives that this bill,
IL fairly compromised In conference,
could have been passed over Mr.. Taft's
veto in both Houses.
Ways and Means Committee.
By far the most important committee
of the House. the Ways and Means Com
mittee, has been the cynosure of the eyes
of economists OF all parties for the last
two sessions. In this committee has
originated the tariff legislation upon
which the Democratic party goes before
the country this fall. Under the leader
ship of Oscar W. Underwood, of Ala
bama, the committee has dominated the
course of the majority absolutely, Mr..
Underwood himself, as majority leader
and actual commander-in-chief Of the
Democratic forces. having held the House
to the redemption of the most
important party pledges. in so far as one
branch of Congress is empowered, and
laying the greatest stress upon tariff
legislation.

second Congress-" he said, "as early as
January 19, 1911, decided that all such
committees should be elected by the
House on the nomination of the Ways
and Means Committee.
The committee first reported the Cana
dian reciprocity bill. the same one that
had been introduced In a former House
sets, Republican. Chairman Under
wood then appointed a subcommittee to
take charge OF the proposed tariff legis-
lation for each of the fourteen schedules.
The first bill reported was the so-caIled
farmers free list bill, placing on the free
list numerous articles used principally by
farmers and wage-earners, including sgri-
cultural instruments. meats, shoes. and
leather. II was passed by the Senate but
vetoed by the President.
On Wooden Schedule.
This was followed by a bill revising
the wooden schedule. reducing the present
prchibitive tariff taxes on wooden goods
This also was vetoed by the President.
and the same fate met the bill reducing
the duty on cotton goods.
Upon the reconvening OF the regular
session our committee Immediately took
up tariff legislation. having the benefit Of
the labor performed during the extra ses-
sion and during vacation by the sub
committees appointed to consider the va
rious schedules.
After the tariff boards report we again
reported the tariff reducing the duty on
wooden goods. which finally passed both
Houses in the same shape 1t had the year
before. The President again vetoed 1t.
despite his constant assertions that the
schedule ought to be revised. because the
revision did not agree with his version
Of the tariff boards report
The committee then reported the bill
revising the steel and iron schedule of
the tariff law. reducing the average duties
in this schedule from 81 to % per cent

dent. would have resulted in enormous
savings to the American people. It would
