The New Tariff Commission

The New Tariff Commission
Tuesday mornings news carried the
information that the House had passed
the omnibus revenue bill which creates
a tariff commission. imposes a protect
1--WE tariff on dyestuffs, repeats the pres
ient stamp taxes, and provides new
taxes on incomes. inheritances and war
munitions profits.
Many Republicans and Progressives
voted for the bill because they were
convinced that it was the best that
could be secured at the present. The
tariff commission section was modified
In the closing hours Of the battle, the
salaries of members being reduced
from $4,000 to $500 The provision in
the bill which guarded against lame
ducks" and under which no member or
former member OF Congress could
serve on the commission, was stricken
out.
This tariff commission will not take
the tariff out of politics, 1t will not take
politics out Of the tariff. The best it
can do is to facilitate tariff making,
and that all depends on the member
ship Of the commission. If it is bur-
dened with lame ducks, who have been
turned down at home by the people, be-
cause they are deserving Democrats"
then 1t will be a useless and expensive
indulgence by Democracy to care for
party needy, and its reports will ac-
cumulate UNDECIDED by future Congress

tons. and, with broad powers Of in

committee over many a perplexins
situation. Composed Of five members,
not more than three from any one
party, it should be made up of such
business men as may be of real assist
ance to Congress, and not fossils or
politicians.
OF course we are assuming that the
bill will pass the Senate for the same
reason that "a Republicans and five

and the sugar trust, and the Unfair
Trade League" and the hundred and
one other organizations that are trying

their chestnuts out Of the fire for them,
want space to prosecute their selfish
ends in the Kennebec Journal, they will
pay for it.
1t is so easy for a man whose years
are full of success and honors to has
tily conclude that some little fellow of
whom he has never heard, doesn't
know what he is talking about. And
vet in the affairs of the little fellow has
grown with the kaleidoscope changing
of events a condition of which the big
fellow knows little or nothing. Mr..
Pagan had no right to assume, nor has
Mr.. Hight, that the Kennebec Journal
has suppressed all news of the great
controversy which our readers have
been following for months. Nor would
either of these gentlemen, after due
consideration, advise us to publish all
the trash sent out by both sides, or do
m ore than publish what we have pub
lished, the news Developments What
both these gentlemen have hastily
assumed was that all the claims sent
out by both sides should be published
at great expense by the newspapers for
public benefit. We claim that these
claims, beyond a certain analysis are
not news and that if one side or the
other, or both, wish to cucumber the
press for the sake of reaching the pub
lie, they should do so at their own ex-
pense and not ours. In our Judgment
we are giving our readers what they
want in proportions to crafty the
greatest number. We do not expect to
please all readers all the time. Mr..
Pagan tells us that we do not know our
business and instructs us in the "func-
tions" of a newspaper. Mr.. Hight ably
seconds him. We would courteously
invite Mr. Pagan and Mr.. Hight to go
ahead and run a newspaper to suit
themselves-but neither the railways
nor the brotherhoods will run this one.
