Mr.. L0NCWORTH
ON The TARIFF

Mr.. Longworth said: | have no
doubt of that; but IL we are to jud-
&c by the report of the majority Of
the Committee on Ways and Means
the fact seems plain that none of
them have had the time, or at least
the inclination even, to read the re-
port of the Tariff Board. / am for
ed, then, to assume that they have
not had time to examine those samp-
les"
Mr. Mondell. Have they read their
own report?"
Mr.. Longworth: AS the gentleman
from Wyoming (Mr. MondelD sug.
gets, it seems very possible that ,Aey
have not even read their own re-
port.

Ohio will allow me to interrupt him,
] would say to him to no one of the

ed to that report had anything at all
to do with the writing of IL. | was

of the New York Journal of CONNER
ce, who enjoys the title of professor
OF political economy in Georgetown
University. and doubt whether any
one of the IL Democratic gentlemen
OF that committee have read II, Gap

Mr.. Longworth: None of them
have said that they have read 1t, and
tn speeches we have hard would not
serve as an indication that they have

substantially reduce the duties in
Schedule X. The Democratic bill, in
some respects, reduces the duties
more than our bill, but, on the other
hand, our bill reduces some OF the
duties more than does the Democrat
ic bill. They are both downward re-
visions of Schedule X. But there is
one substantial difference between
the two bills, and that is that the
Democratic bill retains all the old
concealed duties in tn wool schdule
and our bill wipes them out altoge-
Their.
The issue presented by these bills
is plain and clear. Stripped of oil mis-
leading arguments and unnecessary
verbiage, 1t is just this: Shall we or
shall we not have a downward revis-
ion of Schedule X at this session OF
Congress?
This House is Democratic, but the
Senate is Republican, and we have,
thank God, Republican President in
the White House.
You know and the American peo-
pie know that this Democratic bill
can not become law during this ad-
ministration. You know and the Am
erican people know that our bal
can become law during this admin
istration. If you will only allow us
to take our bill to the President, he
will gladly sign it, II you stubborn
ly insist on your bill or nothing. you
will get nothing. You say you want
downward revision Of Schedule X.
We point the way to get it. The way
Is clear and the time Is here for you
to show the sincerely of your pro-
LESSONS. A vote for the Democratic
bill is a vote to leave Schedule K as
1t stands today on the statute book
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1912-04-16

received any information from any
source whatever, even from the re-
port kindly written for them by the
individual referred to by the gentle
man from Pennsylvania.
Thus the whole Democratic theory
that the tariff on a competitive article
Is a tax which is paid In full by the
American consumer falls crumbling
to the ground. No wonder the report
of the Tariff Board displeases the
majority. 1t has actually undermined
the entire structure of their policy
of tariff making.
The bill which the majority OF
fer to revise the wool schedule and
the bill which We OF the minority Of
fer for the same purpose are perfect
examples of the relative position of
the two parties today upon the tariff
BY your bill YOU repudiate the Tariff
Board; by our bill we endorse IT,
In your bill YOU disregard all of its
findings, car bill is made in exact
accordance with its findings. Further
more, we submit to the American
people that the report of the Tariff
Board on the wool schedule has COM
pletely justified the necessity for its
continued existence. We think that
no more reactionary step could be
taken at this time than to abolish
the Tariff Board; that no more reac-
tionary step could be taken than to
cut off the appropriation that is ne.
cesary to enable it to carry out It's
functions,
We go further than that. We be-
lieve that true progress demands the
creation of permanent tariff board
or commission or whatever you may
choose to call 1t. A board nonparti-
san in character, removed as far as
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1912-04-16

possible from the domain of active
politics, which shall investigate every
schedule from A to N of the tariff in
the same thorough way that the pre-.
sent board has investigated Schedule
X, and report to Congress its find
ings.
The proposition contained in sever
al bills INTRODUCED by gentlemen on
the other side of the House that
such board shall be appointed by
the chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee is mere sham and a
begging of the question. We believe
that tariff commission ough to
rank in dignity and importance with
any commission in the land. 10 make
it mere tool of the chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee would
be to utterly destroy its real useful
ness to the American people. We
demand tnat members OF the Tariff
Board shall DE appointed by the Pre-
sident of the United States, so that
its findings may be removed as TAR
as possible from any suspicion OF
political bias and can be accepted as
facts by TIE American people.
Th- avowcd object of this Demo-
cratic wool bill is to surrender the
American market both for wool and
woolens to the foreign producer.
The object of our bill is to retain
the American market for ,he Ameri.
can producer.
Our bill is designed to bring pros
perity to the American manufacturer
the American workingman. and the
American farmer. Your bill is de-
signed to bring prosperity to the
European manufacturer, the European
workman, and the farmer In South
America and Australia. Both bills

for two years more. A vote for our
bill IL vote to revise downward the
duties of Schedule'K apd make it ef-
fective in two months. To vote For
our bill is to progress. To vote for
the Democratic bill is to stand pat.
We welcome your support even
though you be standpatters. We urge
you to cast aside petty party politics
and, facing to the front instead or to
the rear, to join us in enacting speed
lily into law a measure which, while
1t will allow American sheep to live
on American soil and will allow Am
orleans to make clothing for their
fellow Americans, will nevertheless
bring about that contamination de-
voutly to be wished-a downward re-
vision of Schedule X.
That is the question That confronts
us, and my closing suggestion to my
friends on the other side Of the aisle
Is to either put up or shut up"

Temperament and the Teapot.

When Henry Miller is rehearsing a
new play he works hard and long, re.
naming sometimes ON the stage for
twenty-four hours at a stretch. Natur-
ally, such strain makes him nervous
and the combination of nervousness and
artistic temperament occasionally pro-
duces an outburst, a flareup, blow-oi
During the rehearsals for his last play,
several things had gone wrong and Mil
Ter had exhibited his impotence in ges.
ture and words.
He went on with the work and was
in the midst of a scene in which he had
to pick up teapot. As he did so,
the handle came off, the pot fell to the
table and the tea-real tea triekled
down the actors legs. The stage man
ager Immediately was seized by trem-
bling fit, and every member of the COM
pany began to wish for cyclone cellar.
They knew the star was about to cut
loose.
But this last ill of fortune had been
too much for him. Holding the handle
in his hand and regarding the property
man with sorrow, he said gently:
Cant you fix this teapot? I've got
to scrub the floors Popular Maya

years ago. however, at Dleppe there
occurred sudden scarcity of ten
franc and twenty franc pieces, due to
the operations of an eccentric British
err, who for some cryptic reason had
the day before changed several hun
dred banknotes of high value into
gold. Laden with the coins, he left
for Paris, and week elapsed before
the town regalned its normal amount
of gold.
An attempt to corner the Maria
Theresa dollars, used in parts of north
ern Africa, collapsed by reason of a
queer circumstance. An AbyssinIan,
Ras Makoppo, conceived the unique
scheme of collecting all specimens Of
these coins extant In his district. As
they were old coins, he reasoned they
would rise in value. When he had
possessed himself of about 5000 OF
them he found that the country was
as well supplied with them as before.
While he had been busy collecting
the old coins modern Maria Theresa
dollars, made In Germany, were being
imported by the thousand. The result
was that the coin fell In value, and
the too astute chief lost half his
wealth.-New York Herald.
