Away with Tariff Board and
Economy Commission.

The Commerce Court. created on the
recommendation of President Taft, will
be legislated out Of existencei II the House
and Senate caucases concur on a recon-
mendation about TO be made by the
House Committee on Appropriations
1t became known yesterday that the
legislative, executive. and judicial bill,
whIcu will soon be reported, will contain
no provision for the maintenance of the
Commerce Court In the fiscal year that
will begin July next.
The Democrats also intend, IL possible,
TO cut out of the sundry civil bill the
provision appropriating $4,000 to cover the
expenses for the annual travels of the
President Neither will provision be
made for the tariff board, or the econ
omy commission, created by the Pres
ident.

thorized for some years to make trips

As TO the Commerce Court, the Demo
Gratis charge that its rulings have gsner-
ally gone contrary to the orders of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. They
declare that there is no good reason for
the existence of the court
The Democratic leaders assert that the
economy commission up to date has
served no useful purpose. They point out
that the commission has already eX-
pended S175,ooo. II will go out OF busi-
ness July l IL the House leaders have
their way.
The tariff board is the pet Aversion of
the Democrats. Although Champ Clark,
Representative Underwood, and most of
the Democrats voted to create the board.
the boards conclusions have proved very
annoying since the Democrats began 20
amend the tariff. So it has been decreed
by the House leaders that the tariff board
should go.
The Democrats figure that they will
save about Sl,O00.O00 a year II they can
abolish the tariff board, the economy COM
mission, and the Commerce Court by the
simple expedient Of providing no appro-
priations for these bodies. An additional
saving OF $4,000 will be effected II the

guilty Of misdemeanor. and shall pay
