WASHINGTON. June a0.--The failure OF

The absence OF a quorum. however.
will probably not interfere with the pas
sage of the resolution introduced nv
Representative Fitzgerald of New York,
chairman of the Appropriations Commit
tee, continuing for a period OF thirty
days the appropriations of the last fiscal
year. This action is necessary Lecause
Of the failure Of Congress to complete
the big money measures for carrying on
the work OF the Government. This reso-
luton will probably he enacted by the
House without delay and rushed over to
the Senate, where Senator Warren OF
Wyoming. chairman Of the Appropra-
tions Committee, has promised to expedite
it's consideration. II Is not expected there
will be any opposition to its passage in
either body. and it may go to the White
House for the President $ signature to-
morrow.
Both the House and Senate have
good deal of work to complete before
Adjournment can be thought of. The
army appropriation bill. which was vetoed
by President Taft because OF legislative
riders. including provision making
Major-Gen. Leonard Wood ineligible for
reappointmcnt as Chef of Staff. will have

The legislative. executive and judicial
appropriation bill, which contains a pro.
vision abolishng the Commerce Court.
is also likely to provoke considerable
debate. The House abolished the court
and failed TO provide appropriations
for its continuance. The Senate. however.
leeislated the five judges Of the court
in the House believe the Senate s amend
ment is unconstitutional and the con-
ference report on the measure Is likely
to stir up a good deal of discussion.
Chairman Clayton of the House Judi
ciary Committee will present report from
ing that Impeachment proceedings be
brought against Judge X. ". Archibald
OF the Commerce Court.
In the Senate the Loriner case will
be considered this week. Several Senators
have announced their intent ion of dis
ciissing Senator lOrimer's right 10 his
seat. The Senate will vote next Saturday
on the question. In addition there arc
several appropriation bills which have
not been passed by the Senate. The
amount Of legislation which must I've

TINE TARIFF on CORN.
Views Of an Economist who Regards II
a. SuperfiuOls and ineffective.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN--Sir: In
THE BUN Of June 20 "W. O." criticises an
astonishing statement made In the July
RepfeW OF RcrfcDs regarding the influence
OF the tariff on the price Of corn. The
matter would not be worth notice were II
| not FOR the fact that Nv. c. so effec-
lively supports the argument Of the article
IN which he finds the criticised statement.
lie Is evidently suffering as do many
others from economic myopia, a disorder
arising largely from limited Information.
lie states that Argentine corn could be
sold here Tor 10 cents a bushel less than
the domestic product II the duty were re-
moved and therefore "the effect Of the
tarin II to increase the price Of corn In
this country 10 cents a bushci"
What are the facts that might be shown
oy properly organized. efficient agency?
In the five year period 1906-1O Argentine's .
export surplus OF corn averaged In round
hgurcs S3,O0O,000 bushels year. The
corn consumption Of the United states
Tor these years averaged 2,62O, 100000
oushels. Arsentinas surplus was 3 per
cent. OF the American requirement. To
assume that such percentage would
regulate or even affect prices is to as
sumo that the tail wags the dog. The
average export price OF corn in this co,n-
try Tor those years was so cents a bushel
and the average farm value on December
! 6l.6 cents, and the average price In
Argentina, as give by the Ministry of
Agriculture of that country. was 81 cents.
To assume that corn can be brought from
Argentina and delivered where it is
needed here for fattening animals, for dis
tillation and for other purposes in COM
petition with the domestic product Is nom
sense. The last ten months would seem
10 nave oncred rare opportunity for
the importation Of Argcntina's cheap corn,
said to be excluded by a tariff rate OF I5
cents q bushel. Since last September the
price OF corn In this country as officially
given has ranged from IS TO so cents Il
bushel. The imports Of the first eleven
months OF the fiscal year 1912 have
reached the enormous total OF 29,3S9
bushels. valued at $4,000. TO help out I'm
a requirement averaging 1900, 900, 900
bushels
A tariff on corn is supcrnuous and en-
tirely ineffective for the simple reason
that no other country has an export sur.
Plus that amounts to drop in the bucket
or our enormous requirement. This
country produces about so per cent. OF
all the corn grown in the world. A more
cogcnt argument might he made for the
protection OF raw cotton than can be-
made for the protection Of corn. The
tarin on corn does not bencit the farmer
and does not add a fraction of u cent
to the price OF corn. corn meal, beef,
pork, lard. bacon or whiskey. II is merely
2 humbug bid for the farmers vote. The
Republican party is responsible for the
present rate. but the Democratic majority
