.LENRo0I SUGGESTS
CHANGES IN TARIFF
More Flexibility for Raise or Cut
In Rate Is Needed,
He Says.
By thA Associated Press.

bN InA Associated Press.
CHICAGO. November 6.-A change
in the basic principle of the flexible
tariff so that the President NAV move
more swiftly to raise or lower rates
was proposed here today by Senator
Lenroot, Republican, Wisconsin,
Speaking before the Tanners Coun
Gil of the United States, the Senator
said the price at which an imported
commodity is laid down at the port of
entry in this country should be ac-
cepted as the foreign production cost.
The tariff rate then should be raised
or lowered on the basis of the differ
ence between that price. less a per-
centage for profit and brokerage
charges, and the cost of producing the
American article of like character.
Under the present system the for
eisn cost of production must be as
certained through agents sent abroa d
before the President may act to change
the tariff rates. Such an investiga-
tion consumes much time. Senator
Lenroot said. calling attention by way
of illustration that at his request the
President ordered an investigation
about IS months ago of the difference
in the cost of production of butter
and cheese at home and abroad. The
investigation still is incomplete. he
added. and meantime many millions of
pounds of butter have been imported
TO the great injury of the dairy in
dustry of the United States"
Senator Lenroot argued also that
the prohibition against transferring
commodities from the free to the du-
table list and vice versa should be
removed.
In other words he said, 'our
whole tariff system should be made
consistent and harmonious. 1t should
be flexible to meet changing condi-
tions. Under this general plan speedy
action can be secured whenever nee
essary, and expensive investigations
that are of little value can be avoid.

was said. In one or two cases. which
were not revealed there still is a
question TO be settled whether TO use
dispositions or bring in the witnesses
themselves. This matter has been
so prepared, however. that the court
can pass on ii Monday morning with
out delaying the trial.
Officers Appear.
Up until noon Representative Reid
had the following officers before him
for examinations: Brig. Gen. Amos

Representative Reid as yet has not
determined the order in which the
witnesses will appear. No inIima-
ton either has come from the prose-
cution that a movement will be
launched to throw out the testi-,
mony of the witnesses on the ground
that it is irrelevant, because it con-
Germs the truth or falsitv' of the
charges about which the War De
partment. in drawing up the pro-
ceedings, said it had no concern.
Moreland May Act.
If an effort is made Monday TO pre-
vent this testimony from getting into
the record. under the rules Col. Sher-
man Moreland, the trial judge advo-
cate, will make the motion.
sShould the testimony be accepted
then it would be up TO Col. Moreland to
present witnesses in rebuttal. which
both sides believe will prolong the trial
indefinitely. If the other course is
adopted it is unanimously agreed the
end of the week will see the conclusion
