Leader Careers Pian To Expedite
The Tariff Bill.

representative Gamers plan to have the
Republicans in the House from agricultural
States join with Democrats in voting for
the rates in the tariff bill fixed by the
Democratic and Progressive Republican
Senators. and sending only the administra-
tive features Of the bill to conference is
regarded by some members from agricul-
tural sections as the most practical idea
yet advanced to expedite the final consid-
GRAFTON of the measure with the least pos
sible friction.
Representative Ramseyer. Republican. Of
Iowa. and member Of the Ways and Means
Committee. who has been a critic Of the
Hawley bill. has indicated that IL he re-
garded the Senate rates prefera Die through
out. he would 60 the limit in having them
retained.
Il believe the Progressive Republicans
are sincere In their declaration that the
burl lens Of agriculture must be reduced
and that the Hawley-Smoot bill Is not rep
Eesntative Of the interests of agriculture, ..
Mr.. Garner said in statement. "Bnt the
trouble with many of them is that their
devotion to the Republican party is stronger
than their devotion to the farmer"
This view is supported by the vote on
the passage Of the Hawley bill in the House
when only IL Republicans voted against
the bill. with two from Kansas -Guyer and
Sproul answering present" OF the twelve
Republicans who voted against the bill,
two from the East-Beck. of Pennsylvania.
and La Guardia. Of New York.
The most pronounced opposition to Leader
Gamers plan to lay aside partisanship and
expedite the tariff bill in conference BY
having the House first agree upon the
rates to be fixed by the Senate is the re-
cent statement Of Speaker Loneworth. a
regular Of the regulars. who said that the
House would stand by the regulars in
sending the entire me ssure TO conference,
thus emphasizing the force of Mr.. Gamers
charge that so many of the Republican
members are more strongly devoted to
the Republican party than they are to the
farmer.
On the other hand, it is pointed out that
the changes being made in the bill by the
Democratic and Progressive Republican
Senate will put the Senate bill when COM
pleted in different light from the House
bill. and in such way that the representa-.
tives from agricultural States will plainly
be put on record by their votes as saying
whether their allegiance to party is stronger
than their allegiance to their constituents
in he meantime. the two million farm
rs who recently signed demand to Con-.
fess TO keep the pledge for agricultural
aerity in the tariff bill are expected to use
