WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. - The
majority party in Congress has sent
the tariff commission on Its way with
sardonic smiles and burdened with
heavy weights. A majority of the
the majority do not expect the tariff
commission to amount to much, save
as a sop to many people who will have
votes to cast this year. Fact IS, they
hope and expect it not to get vary far
and to indicate how they feel about

many handicaps as they deemed ex-
pedient on the eve OF election SIX
months ago President Wilson pulled
the reverse lever on this subject and
demanded a tariff commission. They
gave it to him in the shape of the
Rainey bill, which has passed the
House and is now pending in the Sen
ate. But for the big stick 1t couia
never have prevailed. The majority
of Democrats in Congress do not fav-

age to buck their party's boss. W.
