Sen. LAFOLLETTE
CLAIMS TARIFF
BILL A MISTAKE
Fighting Bob" Airs Views On
Methods Used by the
Democrats

MADISON. Wis. May Ex-senator
Robert Nj. LaFollette, commenting on
the defeat OF his amendment to in
struct the senate finance committee
to hold hearings and put specific
questions TO manufacturers appearing
to protest against the Wilson Under
wood tariff bill. contributes an ar
ticle to his magazine of this week.
under the caption, Tariff Making In
the Dark"
Senator La Toilette cites the Ques-
tions he would have had put to each
of the manufacturers under oath be-
fore the committee, and adds:
1T Is serious mistake to assume
that tariff rates can be determined
by any committee OF congress In the
absence OF specific data.
1T matters not whether a tariff bill
is being framed with view to fixing
the duties at rate which shall mea-
sure the difference In the cost of pro-
duction between this and competing
countries, which Is mainly, If not
wholly, the difference in labor cost;
or whether the tariff bill Is being
framed with view of eliminating all
protective duties and fixing the tarifY
with the sole object of producing rev
enue. II is in either case vital that
the committee shall know the average
cost OF producing the article in this
country. and the average cost of pro-
ducing the article in competing for
eign countries.
so tariff legislation under Demo
cratic control is to proceed exactly as
under Republican control. The sub
ject Is not TO be treated as an econom-
ic problem. 1t is to be the stake in q
partisan game and the. people OF the
United States are to suffer the con-
sequences.
''The Payne-Aldrich bill raised the
rates regardless of the burdens i'm
posed on the consumer. And the
course OF the Democratic senators In.
dicates that the Underwood-S Simmons
bill Will fix the rates, regardless Of
production cost and wrongs II will In
fict on the wage-earner and on legisi-
mate industry"
