HOUSE To ACT
ON NEW TARIFF
Whether Entire Readiust-
ment Will be Made at Once
Will be Considered.
BY GEORGE II. MANNING
washington Correspondent of The
Evening News)

WASHINGTON, March 10.-when
the House Ways and Means commit
tee begins its executive meetings on
Monday. March II, the first question
to be taken up will be whether to
give the country an entire readtust-
ment of tariff schedules ih two little
doses or in one big dose.
The committee win begin Monday,
March IL. with the framing of a tar
ID bill In executive sessions that will
probably last a month or six weeks.
The consideration Of the bill by con
gress Is then expected to continue
until the snow flies next fall when a
measure will be enacted to replace
the present Underwood bill.
When the committee meets next
Monday. March IA. it will be to take
UP the two principal proposals for
revising the tariff" it was said to-
day by Representative Willis c.
Hawley of Oregon, Republican. a
leading member of the committee.
These proposals are
al. To make some adjustments
In the old Payne-Aldrich law and to
put it into effect as quickly as pos
siblc in place of the present Under
wood tariff act. as a temporary mea-
sure until a new bill can be passed.
"2. To commence at once franz
ing an entirely new law. with full
dCjberation, to take the place OF the
present tariff act.
"I favor the second proposal be-
cause ! believe it would be unfair
TO gsk business men to adjust them
selves to a temporary tariff measure.
and then after they have made that
adjustment to come along ip a few
months and pass a permanent tariff
act to which they would have to ad-
just themselves all over again.
IT believe that to adopt the first
proposal would create great con
fusion among u business men at
home and those abroad and would
bring about untold labor on the part
Of the government officials charged
with the carrying out of the act.
1T would be simpler and more
effective. 1 believe. for congress to
undertake an entire revision of the
tariff law at n step instead of
bringing about the readjustment to
meet new conditions in two steps.
Great changes will be necessary
from the present law and from tho
Payne law in framing the temporary
bill because business conditions at
home and abroad have undergone
upheavals In the past three years.
For this reason. II no other, I ex.
pect the tariff bill that Is finally pass
ed will show great changes from the
old Payne act and the present I'm
derwood law"

ALLEGED. WASTE
BY FREEHOLDERS
New Brunswick Trade Board
Condemns County Board
in Case of Joseph Fetig.

lBy Evening News Stan Correspondent
NEW BRUNSWICK, March 10
The New Brunswick Board of Trade
at a meeting last night unanimously
adopted a resolution condemning
the Board of Freeholders for their
alleged waste of county funds. The
appointment of an assistant county
sealer of weights and measures in
the person of Joseph Fertig at a
salary of $1,000 was pointed out as
an example of the n in which
the freeholders are squandering the
peoples money. The resolution
claims this appointment was SUPER
fiuous as Nathan Robins, of Metu-
chen. the Democratic incumbent. is
capable of doing all of the duties
attached to this office.
A copy of this resolution will
most likely be placed before the
Board of Freeholders at their
meeting this afternoon here. The
resolution was presented by Eugene
P. barrow. of the firm of johnson
G. Johnson, after q lengthy discus
sion, during which the methods of
spending money now pursued by the
freeholders, were condemned by
many.
The meeting was originally called
for the purpose of hearing both the
Public Service Railway Company's
and the bus owners side of the bus
and trolley situation. The Public
Service representatives claimed
there was no need for the buses
except in rush hours as the trolleys
were adequate to accommodate all
at other times. The fact was
brought out that persons living
along the route of the buses are
enabled to go from place to place
by bus without walking a long dis
lance to trolleys, in order to travel
by this means. F.;
