INTEREST grows in
TARIFF QUESTION

Proposition of Having Fed

=: to Be Long Lived.

Ex.President Thinks it Surest Way of

culties.
IT WAS TAFT'S IDEA
(By VICTOR ELLIOTT)

Washington, July 5.-Interest seems
never to die in the vexed question as
federal tariff board for the collecting
of information relative to all aspects
of the industrial activities of the
United States having any effect what
soever on the tariff. Former Presi-
dent Taft was a strong supporter of
the tariff board idea and there are
many members of both houses of Con-
gress who believe that such board
is the surest way of solving tariff diff
ficulties. Arguments have rotated
about this proposition for several
years And all this time the gov
eminent has had tariff board to all
intents and purposes, although it
seems to have been in complete ignor-
ance of the fact.
DIR. A. III. Baldwin, Chief of the Blu
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce of the Department of Com
MERGE, has discovered the tariff
board.
The Department of Commerce, says
DR.. Baldwin, is a tariff board. The
law which created, the Department of
Commerce and Labor gave it authori-
ty to initiate and conduct all such in
vestigations as are proposed should
should be conducted by specially
designated tariff board. A clause of
the law charges the Bureau of Labor,
one of the subsidiary offices of the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
which formerly was part of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor,
with the duty of ascertaining "at as
early date as possible and whenever
industrial changes should make it es-
sential, the cost of producing articles
at the time dutiable in the United
States, in leading countries where
such articles are produced" In
dozen other parts of the bill there are
specific directions that the Depart
ment shall do everything that the
proposed and at one time extent tar
if board is expected to do.
A tariff board existed under the
Taft administration and was very
highly thought of by many members
| position resulted in the boards final
dismissal. But significant act con-
| nected with the lifetime and activi-
ties of the tariff board is that, when
it began it's work of collecting data
hearing on the industries as relating
to the tariff, the board applied to the
Department of Commerce and Labor
for experts for carrying on the work.
The Department of Commerce and
Labor had been making examination
along the lines prescribed in the or
ganic act and had great deal OF
material on hand. This material was

Erie is a particularly propitious
place for the holding of a celebration
in honor of the famous Battle of Lake
Erie. Although the battle itslef toop
place on the western end of the lake.
it was at Erie that the boats of the
Commodores fleet were built and
manned. The close of the first sum-
mer of the War of 1912 saw the Bri-
fish in full possession of Lake Erie.
Gen Van Rensselaer, was defeated at
Niagara, in an unsuccessful attempt
to conquer Canada, and Gen. Hull had
surrendered at Detroit. The brig
adams" of $50 tons, the only was
vessel on the lakes flying the Ameri-
can flag in 1912, had been captured.
The British had only to use their fleet
of five vessels to effect landing on
the southern shores of the lake and
march inland to the heart of the Unit
ed States. General Harrison was In
command of the Northwestern army
with headquarters at Sandusky, but
it was a we'll known fact that he
would be unable to chack the advance
of the British, once they started south
A fleet was necessary to guard the
southern shores of the lake and en-
deayor to drive the British from Lake
Erie.
Cant. Dobbins. commander OF a
merchant vessel plying the lake had
been captured by the British and re-
leased, after which he carried the
first official news of the surrender
of resident Madison at Washington.
Dobbins explained the situation on
Lake Erie and was commissioned to
return to his town of Erie and super
intend the building of an American
fleet. Work was begun in October OF
1912 and with only one ship carpenter
picked up a Buffalo, and the AID OF
house carpenters and anyone VINO
could handle an ak, saw hammer

structed.
