Longworth Tariff Plan
Approved by Committee
Immediate Operation of Sched-
ules Held Necessary to
Halt Tax Evasions

From The T'1bune's WGstnoton Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 21.-The House
Committee on Ways and Means to-day
reported out the Longworth resolution,
which seeks to put the permanent
schedule of tariff rates, now being
drafted, into operation when the tariff
bill is reported from the committee.
In it's report, urging the passage of
the resolution, the committee points out
that similar legislation has been sue
cessful in a number of foreign coun-
tries, including France and Great Bri-
tain. The report states:
"No doubt the coming tariff bill will
contain many rates of duty substantially
higher than those in the existing law,
and obviously if no such precaution as
this be taken so soon as the increases
are made public upon the report of the
bill to the House, a great food of i'm
portations will come in during the
thereby causing large revenue losses
to the government and serious damage
to American industry.
"This has been the invariable rule
during the period that former tariff
bills have been under discussion in the
House and Senate. Even assuming this
interim period in the case of the COM
ing tariff bill will not exceed the aver
age-that is to say, FIVE months-be-
tween the dates of its reporting to the
House and Of it's final enactment into
law, the loss of revenue resulting from
the artifcially stimulated imports un-
der the rates of existing law will in
evitably run up into the hundreds of
millions of dollars at time when the
government is in need of revenue as
never before, and the resulting damage
to American industries will be incal-
cuiable.

Jersey Streetcar
Company Keeps Up
lOc Fare Fight
Refusal of Public Utility
Commission to Permit IN
crease Will Be Reviewed
Before Supreme Court

The justice of refusal by the Public
Utility Commission to permit the Pub
lie Service Railway Company TO charge
10. cent fare in New Jersey will be de-
termned by review of the action
Supreme Court Justice F. J. Swayze, in
Jersey City, arranged this procedure
yesterday by granting, at the COM
Pany's request, a writ of certiorari, re-
turnable May %, when papers will be
filed and date set for the hearing
before the June term of the Supreme
Court.
Frank Bergen, general counsel for
the Public Service Corporation, which
controls the other company, in apply
ing for the writ said that without
financial relief the company would have
to abandon twelve miles of road within
year, and that, through loss of credit,
the company might cease to function.
lie said that the Public Utility Com
mission had been unfair in its decision.
AS to the commissions action, 7. n.
McCarter, president of the corporation,
was even more emphatic. "If the basis
on which this report is made can be
sustained" he said "and is to be a
criterion of operations directed by the
board, there is no hope for the Public
Service Company, and, in my opinion,
ties"
Edward Herman, counsel for the Pub
lie Utility Commission, opposed the
granting of the writ, saying that the
investigation had proved that the com
pany could maintain adequate service
at the present rate. He said that the
company would be able to continue
the present service until July Ia, when
The commission is required by the AL
len act to fix an adequate fare
In a statement issued in Newark, Mr..
McCarter said that the report of the
Public Utility Commission cohficted
with a decision of the New Jersey Su-
preme Court, was illegal and was based
upon an exaggerated estimate of the
company's future earnings.
SIN substance" he said, "the board
crease in the company's business for
the current year far in excess of that
justified by the portion of the year
which has expired, or by any facts in
dicating any such increase, and by q
further pairing down of the estimated
operating expenses to the very bone,
which, of course, must reflect itself in
less efficient service, the company will
have enough revenue to pay its operat-
ing expenses.
"In addition to its operating cx-
renses, the board holds that it will
have enough for its fixed charges and
$4,000 for replacement and renewals
Not a cent is provided for return upon
the stockholders investment of $780,
100000 Under these conditions, the
company is without credit and unable
to obtain capital"

Medicinal Beer To BE Allowed
AS Soon as Blair Takes Office
rom The Trtsu~s's Washington Bureau

From The TridM,ss's Washington Burean
WASHINGTON, May 21.---New regu-
lations in line with the opinion OF ex-
Attorney General Palmer regarding
beer for medicinal purposes will be au-
thorisod as soon as David ), II. Blair,
nominated for Commissioners of Inter
nal Revenue, is confirmed and assumes
office, it was officially indicated to-day
at the Treasury Department.
Secretary Of tAe Treasury Mellon
holds the opinion that beer should be
made available for the sick without
reference to what Congress is likely to
do in modifying the Volstead act. His
position is that the law as it applies
to-day should be vigorously adhered to
and that the opinion of former Attor-
ney General Palmer, permitting the
sale of malt liquors upon the advice of
reputable doctors, should be adequate

Miller Commission Asserts
Right Under New Measure
to Ignore Court Decisions

Announcement was made yesterday
that the new Public Service Commits
sion had decided to undertake an in

charged in New York City and the sub
urban districts. Subpenas have been
mailed to score of gas companies
operating in this territory to attend
the iirst hearing on June 16.
Chairman William A. Prendergast
said that the proposed investigation
would mean that there would be an i'm
mediate effort to determine the reason
ableness of these prices irrespective of
whether the rates have been fixed by
court decree or under any other au-
thority. lie pointed out that the COM
mission had the power to do this
under the act proposed by Governor
Miller, and that it intended to exercise
this power to the fullest extent in the
public interest.
Text of r. S. C. Order
The order for the investigation,
adopted at meeting of the commission
in Albany on Friday, follows:
"Ordered: That hearing be had
by the commission on the 10th day of
June, 1921, at its branch Office, 40

corporations relating thereto. to the
end that the commission shall pre-
scribe just and reasonable rates,
charges and classifcations TO be there
in force for the service to be fur
nished, and the just and reasonable
acts and regulations to be done and
observed, upon such terms, conditions
or safeguards as the commission may
prescribe, including, if it appears that
the public interest requires it, the au-
thorizing of an immediate temporary
change in any such price pending a
final determination of the prices to be
thereafter charged by any such corpo-
rations.
Further ordered, That the acting
secretary serve by mail notice of such
hearing on or before the 21st day of

authority until Congress changes the
present prohibition laws.
1t has been pointed cut to Secretary
Mellon that Congress may not definite
ly act on the Volstead amendments
forbidd!ng' beer for several weeks and
he is represented as believing that the
law as presently constituted and inter
preted by the former Attorney General
should become immediately operative.
In line with the views OF Secretary
Mellon new regulations affecting the
distribution Of beer for medical pur-
poses have already been made, and are
being held up pending the confirmation
of Mr.. Blair, which the Senate is ex-
pected to authorize next week. Legal
advisers of the Treasury have held
that the Palmer opinion gives the
Treasury Department full authority to
lift the ban against beer, and that this
opinion continues as the paramount
law until Congress abrogates it by new
legislation.

Cut Recently Announced

The Consolidated Gas Company re-
Gently announced a reduction in it's
rate and the rates of several constit-
uent companies, from $1.50 to S1.25
for 1000 cubic feet, to take effect Au-
gust l. Corporation Counsel John P.
O'Brien, at the time attributed the
action of the Consolidated to fear of
the results of the fight made by the
Hylan administration to reestablish the
old 80-cent gas rate under the law
which the gas companies have attacked
as confscatory and unconstitutional.
The final argument on the. constitution
ality of the 80-cent gas law is sched-
uled to come before the United States
Supreme Court next October The Cor
poration Counsel declared that it was
an old trick of the utility companies
10 throw a sop to the consumers when
they read the writing on the wall.
From the tone of determination in
the order of the new Public Service
Commission it would appear that the
gas companies have much more to fear
from the commissions investigation
than from anything the city has done
or will do. The companies have man
aged TO fix and collect the higher rates
for several years despite the efforts of
the municipal authorities. The money
collected above the 80-cent rate, how
ever, has been impounded by the courts

CONGRESS AND THE
 CONFERENCE.

It is reported that a plan is being formed in Congress to conduct a cam paign to reduce the army to 100000. such campaign to be waged while the conference on the limitation of arma- ments is in progress. The argument for the plan is "economy.'
 It would seem that the suggestion being made, rather weakly. that the carrying out of this plan would em- barrass tho United States Delegates to the Conference. carries n great deal Of weight. It goes without saying that such action on the part of Congress would place the delegates in the posi- ton of being comparatively without authority and would take from their words the weight that would be given them naturally.
 Such action would display also the lack of importance Congress att taches to the Conference. Congress sionaI action on tho chief matter to come before the Conference would certainly tend to discredit the appoin- tees to the Conference and give to any plan of the United States, as presented at tho Conference. little strength.
 ft Would seem practically certain to other delegates to the Conference that no matter what stand they took for the United States, the delegates report and recommendation to Con gross would not be considered very seriously While Congress must have tho final word in the matter it would be far from wise to have plans being --ade apart from the Conference. as
