about the construction of tariff bill
framed to meet pertinent and normal
| conditions which, in their Judgment
do not now exist.
The next step favored by this group
is to substitute simple measure turn
ing the tariff over to a committee
with instructions to work out plan
that will eliminate the political fea-
lures of the pending measures. This
suggestion is naturally opposed by
Mr.. McCumber and the Senator's pre-
tending to speak for the agricultural
interests. The plan of this element is
to force the Fordney- -McCumber bill
through on the theory that the people
of the country favor a tariff measure
OF the "good old Republican times
Mr.. McCumber and his associates
would not make any prediction as 20
the approximate date for passing the
tariff bill.
The North Dakota Senator admitted
this afternoon "the debate may run
along for several weeks" The group
of Republicans who are displaying
signs of insurgency but who have not
| moved to stage an open revolt are in
being. One of the members of this
group said this afternoon that opposi-
ton to the Fordney- -McCumber tariff
bill is constantly growing and might
result in a serious break in the Re-
publican party"
During the debate over the bill to-
day Senator John Sharp Williams an
swered the statement Of Mr.. McCum-
Der that the latters tariff bill was
necessary to relieve oppressive busi-
ness conditions.
THE Senator from North Dakota
says, and he says truly" said Mr.. Will
iams. that we are in a bad condition
financially. and if modern patriotism
prevails amongst our boys when they
get a bonus we shall be in a worse
condition financially. There is an APP
peal for bonus if we can put the
money in the Treasury. The only way
to put the money in the Treasury is to
let the imports come in and collect a
tax on them. unless we are going to
levy an internal tax upon some prod
ucts.
MY friend from North Dakota
knows that the object of this bill is
not to put money in the Treasury. He
knows the effect Of it will be to keep
money out of the Treasury; he knows
that the purpose is to stop importa-
| tions; he knows that the effect. if the
purpose is carried out will be to stop
payments into the Treasury.
NOW here we are in this fix. We
cannot balance our budget even this
year. With the bonus threatening us
we will not be able to balance our
budget for the next year and the year
after that. We will not be able tc
balance it for twenty years unless we
tax to death the people at home.

to confer special privileges ON inter-
ests whose support was desired, and
particularly to the spokesmen of the
agricultural bloc. There was compare
lively little opposition to the bill
framed by the Fordney committee in
the House, because practically every
demand made by influential members
whose support was desired was
granted.
The same scheme was adopted by
the McCumber committee in the Sem
ate and has been manifest in the de-
bates over the perfected. measure" in
the Senate. The principal thought
that seemed to lie back of the work
OF preparing the tariff bill in both
houses was to attract votes enough TO
head off an insurgent movement such
as that successfully staged in 1909.
The bill has now been under consid-
Grafton in the Senate for one month.
1t has been attacked by number of
Republicans and a few Democrats, al
though the leaders of the latter party
have discouraged criticism among
their associates on the theory that

cratic candidates in the coming Con-
gressiopai elections.
Protests made by Republican mem
bers of the Senate Finance Committee
against what they described as Eek

rates in some of the schedules have
up to date proved unavailing. Chair
man McCumber and leaders of the ag-
ricultural bloc have successfully re-
oruited enough support to prevent any
drastic changes in these schedules.

Warning Is Not Heeaed.


Warming Is Not Heeaed.
The warning Of the Republicans not
susceptible to agricultural influences.
or who do not believe the farmers of
the country desire "a tariff wall" built
around the country, have been un-
needed. Mr.. McCumber and his sup
porters in the agricultural bloc insist
that the maximum of protection be
provided for the producing farmer, re-
gardless of the effect of SUCH policy
On the general business of the coun-
try, as also the buying public-the
ultimate consumer.
According to Republican as we'll as
Democratic critics of the top heavy"
tariff bill there does not exist any
widespread demand for enactment Of
such a measure as that which the
Fordney and McCumber committees
have presented in the two houses.
Representatives of business interests
who appeared before the House Ways
and Means and Senate Finance com
mittees reflected the idea that there is
no urgent demand for a prohbitive
protective tariff in the present condi-
ton of business either at home or
abroad
Many of these representatives ex-
pressed the opinion that Congress
should wait year or two before re-
vising the tariff upward; that the
emergency tariff passed by Congress
last year provided all the protection
needed until normal business condi-
tions have been restored, and sug-
gested that the tariff be turned over to
. the commission created for that pur-
pose i TO work out and recommend
changes along reasonable lines.
Hand of Big Business Absent.
1t is significant fact that the hand
of big business" has been conspcu-
ously absent from among the influ-
ences that dictated the composition Of
the Fordney- -McCumber tariff bill. The
fact is. spokesmen for these interests
which in other days were credited with
the power to dictate tariff legislation
have not manifested one-half of the
enthusiasm over the pending project
as the self-constituted representatives
of the agricultural interests.
Chairman Fordney. of the House
Ways and Means Committee is a
stand pat high tariff man Of the old
school. Chairman McCumber has been
described as 'reactionary." A majority
of Republican Senators and Repre-
sentatives privately condemn the joint
tariff production Of these two leaders
as "monstrosity.' but will vote for it
on the ground of party regularity
Suggestions made by them that
greater power be given the Tariff Com
mission to work out a permanent
economic lines have not been accept
able to Chairmen McCumber and Ford
ncy and their supporters. Most of the
latter have given little or no personal
attent ton to the construction Of the
pending tariff bill beyond seeking
privileges of special Importance TO
their respective districts. This pyra-
miding process has, in fact, been re-
sponsiblc for most of the support of
the bill.
In presenting the measure to the
Senate Chairman McCumbcr declared
that his committee shad endeavored to
recommend rates that will afford pro-
lection to American industries and
permit them to pay wages sufficient to
enable our workmen to maintain the

AUTO RECEIPTS NEARLY
 DOUBLED THIS YEAR

Receipts of the state department of motor vehicles, exclusive of the gasoline tax, for the first four months of this year nearly doubled those of the corre- spending period of last year, it was dis closed by figures made public Monday by Commissioner Stoeckel
 The aggregate receipts, from January 1 to May l, 1922, were s2,976, 6,0S6.97. as compared to $1,657, ,260S2 for the same period of 1921. The gain of $1,3I8,S26.15 ,
 insures the expenditure of that much aG- ditional money on highway maintenance
 in the state, and is attributed largely to the increased fees voted by the last ses- sion of the legislation.
 April, 1922, showed the greatest gain over the corresponding month of 1921, be- ing nearly 100 per cent ahead of t. The receipts for April of last year reached $269,26492. while those for April Of this year aggregated $534,3S1.46. The figures indicated that the percentage of motor vehicle owners who waited until April before having their cars registered at the lower rate, was considerably greater this year than last and bears out the conclu- sion reached few weeks ago that less cars were operated during the latter part of last winter than there were toward the end of the winter of 1920-21v not withstanding the greately increased use of closed cars.
 March usually is a better month, from | the standpoint of motor vehicle depart
 ment receipts, than February, but tic sit uation was reversed this year, February standing next to April in the sig of the receipts.
