THE "FLEXIBLE" TARIFF

Just before the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff law was enacted,
Congress added a proviso for
flexible" rates. BY this proviso,
the President was enabled 10
grant tariff relief where existing
duties did not comply with the
theory OF equalizing costs OF pro
duction at home and abroad.
The proviso was added to hush
the individuals who are always
demanding scientific tariff max
ing. Nobody paid much atten-
ton when it was enacted, and
the country set back to extract
what consolation it could from
the fact that it knew the worst
But now, after several months,
comes the flexible" proviso.
And scrutiny of the appeals for
its application may we'll arouse
the suspicion that the worst is
yet to come, 1t seems that mem-
bers of the tariff board were di-
vided on the acts Interpretation.
One group, headed by William
$. Culbertson, vice chairman,
contended that the commission
held the power to initiate re-
vision of the entire tariff act.
Another group, headed by
Thomas O. Marvin. the chair
man, maintained that the board
could act only on suggestion OF
the President The President
has finally broken the deadlock
by ordering the commission to
proceed with the adjustments
necessary under the flexible"
clause.
And here seems to be the hitch
in it: There are l40 applications
for relief; and more than two
thirds of them are for increases
in the duty.
Thus it begins to appear that
the sop thrown to those protest
ing against the high tariff law
in the shape of the flexible" pro-
viso, is a means whereby still
higher rates may be imposed. In
theory. nothing like this should
happen. However. it is the rec
ord of all tariff legislation that
the interests which will benefit
are represented by able, clever
gentlemen who can present to the
rate-making body books of sta
tistics and unlimited arguments
for their contentious. But the
consumer who will pay the bill
does not appear.
One of the typical items for
which rate relief has been asked
of the tariff board is on cotton
hosiery for infants now calling
for a so per cent. ad valorem
duty. The consumer will not
contest the increase, because he
will not be called upon or con-
suited.
