Why Not Si,lctrnck II?

7 ONG years ago when the purpose of

for the support of the government, the House
generally had the first and the last word
in saying what the rates should be. But
as the revenue-raising feature long since
became Il matter OF secondary. even insight
iicant consideration, the constitutional in
tent no longer governs except nominally as
tu the branch OF Congress in which such
bills shall originate. In actual practice the
House has addicted in favor of the Senate in
the matter Of determining what our tariffs
shall be. Perhaps it Is just wel--in &C
cordancc with the fitness OF things--that the
Senate should have the chief say in the
matter. since modern American tariff bill.
with its thousands Of different items. It's

fecting scores of industries and all business,

The bill now before the Senate has amend

different ways. and even ut that the upper
branch confesses its inability to frame

For an example OF congressional abnega-

the reason by which Senator Smoot seeks
10 justify it. Congress is, he argues. forced
To this extreme by the recognition of its
own inability to perform the duties imposed

impossible to frame law on the basis OF
