WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, d. G. May 25
A typical example Of mex
cuseable blundering by Con
gress in the enactment of a
statute has been argued re-
Gently before the Court OF
Customs Appeals. The court
is asked to- interpret the
meaning of paragraph 40S
of the Underwood tariff act,
the first important law of
the present administration.
The paragraph provides
free entry for waste" OF any
of the articles there in de-
scribed SUITABLE" for the
manufacture of paper. Care
less use of the word suitable"
in drafting the law plunged
it into u ncertainty. for it ad-
mits a wide latitude of con-
struction. Will free entry
be given to any thing that
might he used for paper
making; or must waste be
used only in paper making
in order to enter free of duty?l
Already two opposing con-
structions have been placed
upon the statute, one by GUS
toms officials who imposed al
tax, another by the board OF
" :. General appraisers who
allowed free entry. Now the
higher court is APPEALED to
for a third opinion as to the
intent of tho law makers.
The blunder is more not
able be cause the language
Of former tariff acts was an
ample guide, clearly empha-
sizing the need for unequiy-
)cal diction. The act of 1897
provided free entry for waste .
fit only to be converted intoi]
paper, the corresponding par 1
agraph in the 1909 act ex- {
ended free entry to waste /,
used chiefly" for paper max {.
