A Wilson Tariff Commission.

Representative Barnhart Of Indiana,
went to the White House with an idea.
As he came away he could hear from
the Presidents room the echoing
words, The idea"
Mr.. Barnhart's idea was developed
in connection with the discussion Of a
tariff commission. The Hoosier states
man recognizes that a tariff commits
sion can do nothing except to investi-
gate and report-to somebody. That
somebody. naturally. should be the
Congress, which body alone has the
authority to make tariff changes; and
1t IL Mr.. Barnhart's idea that the tariff
board should be directly responsible to
Congress. To make this idea effective
aud to give to the board that non
partisan" quality which has been de-
sired OF 1t. Mr.. Barnhart proposed
that each leading party in the Senate
and in the House should name one
member Of tho board and that the
President should appoint a NTH.
The President would have none Of
this. however. He insists that II .
tariff commission IL to be set up, he
shall have the naming Of every one Of
tho men who shall compose it. In
other words. Wilson wants a Wilson
tariff commission. This is in line with
his whole career. At Princeton he
made 1t a point. whenever . trustee Of
the University was to be chosen. to
put forward a Wilson man for the
place; similarly. when an officer Of
instruction-down to the lowest tutor
was to be selected. no took pains to
get a Wilson man on the Job. He
never appointed a committee Of the
Princeton faculty that he did not stun
1t with a majority Of Wilson support
ers. AS President Of the United States
he has pursued tho Same course. He
