Some Recent History

"'oert Mowers statement that Governor Smiths
P'Vp0Sai TO create a tariff commission with broad now
i nc 70 remove the tariff from politics is imprac-
'S~oie and that to congress alone should be delegated
'ne power Of tariff revision, has aroused q storm :,
protest from the Northern and w.s,srr f,rr, ,s.a...
IN an effort to placate the agricultural interests.
"heh demanded tariff revision and equalization Of the
schedules at the last session, republican leaders ar.
ehdeavoring to create the impression that che demo-
Gratis were responsible for the failure to get the tariff
before congress.
On January &c, the senate passed what was known
q the McMaster resolution, which declared "that many
OF 'he rates in existing tariff schedules are excessive
ana tnat the senate favors an immediate revision
downward of such excessive rates. establishing a closer
parity between agriculture and industry, believing it
VIII result in the general benefit Of ALL"
The senate passed this resolution by a vote Of "a
to "a, Al democrats and 12 progressive republicans
voting for it. Only two democrats voted in opposition.
The resolution was sent to the house, and on January
II, Representative Garrett, democratic leader, moved
that the resolution be referred to the committee on
ways and means for consideration. On motion Of Rep
resentative Tilson, republican leader, the resolution
was tabled, the Tilscn motion prevailing by a vote Of
l5 to l64. The vote for Tilson's motion was to pre-
vent consideration Of tariff revision such as the farm
leaders had urged.
OF the 164 votes against the Tilson motion 12 were
cast by democrats and IL by republicans. Those voting
to prevent consideration Of tariff revision included
1S republicans and 5 democrats.
One Of the serious complaints Of the American
farmer today is that under the existing tariff sched-
ules the farmer is Disseminated against. Democrats
and several progressive republicans voted at the last
session of congress to create an opportunity for this
discrimination to be removed, but were blocked by the
administration republicans.
Had the tariff program proposed by Governor
Smith been in effect, this situation could not have ex-
listed. The tariff commission would have been the body
TO which the farmers would have appeaed. They would
not have been compelled to 20 before a politically-con-
trololed congress and plead for justice, only to be de-
MED because the party leaders deemed it political
policy not to open the tariff schedules on the eve of a
presidential election.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley was one of the prin-
cipal victims Of this refusal Of republican leaders 70
revise the agricultural schedules. Unable to meet the
competition Of cheap labor OF Mexico. Egypt and Spain,
Texas growers were forced to sell onions and tomatoes
at less than the cost of production, but there is no
record that any Of the Eastern industries, which re-
ceived ample protection, were handicapped by foreign
competition such as the American farmers, and es-
pecially those of the winter vegetable growing sections,
were forced to meet.
