Countering Simmons display Of
confidence In the result. 6moot said
he believed at least SIX Democrats
would vote With the Republican reg
ulars for the amendment he sponsors,
under which the president would con-
tinue, as he desires, to hold author
ity to raise or lower tariff rates %
much as 50 per cent upon recon-

Whether the 6moot proposal will
be given priority in the voting was
not clear today. Simmons, who had
an amendment looking to repeal OF
the flexible provision Of the existing
law pending. has introduced q SUBJ
stitute with view to having It
brought to vote first.
His substitute amendment would
take away the presidents power to
change rates and authorize him
merely to transmit recommendations
Of the tariff commission to congress.

SENT|NELS OPPOSE
SEVERAL MEASURES
Series of Memorials Adopted
at Annual Sessions Here
Sent to Congress.

Carrying forward its policies ito OPP
pose further Federal encroachment
upon the reserved rights of the States
and individual citizens" the Sentinels
of the Republic have sent to Congress
a series of memorials adopted at its
annual session here at it's headquarters
and at the Willard Hotel.
Representative Garrett of Tennessee
was commended for his efforts to Sc
cure the proposal to the States by
Congress of the so-called "Wadsworth-
Garrett back-to-the people" amendment
to the Constitution, which would give
the people a controlling voice in the
matter of ratifying fuure Federal
amendments
The Sentinels opposed several pending
measures, including the uniform mar
rage and divorce amendment the equal
rights amendment. any amendment to
permit Federal taxation of State Sc
curities. a child labor amendment any
amendment giving Congress power to
regulate hours and conditions of labor,
the movement to establish a Federal
Department of Education, the Newton
bill to provide permanent child well
fare extension service under the Chill
drens Bureau: the George-Reed Dill, 10
further Federal aid for vocational edu-
cation: the so-called fifty-fifty, or Fed
eral aid legislation, by which the Fed
eral Government assumes control OF
the States in their purely internal af-
fairs: pending bills to impose woman
suffrage on Porto Rico and the Philip
pines Islands, and the Norris bill, which
would take from the Federal District
Courts jurisdiction of suits arising I'M
der the Constitution.
The organization favored abolition of
useless Government bureaus and COM
missions"
Repeal of that provision of the Fed
eral estate tax law which allows an
80 per cent credit for State inheritance
taxes paid, was recommended.
