STRONG ARGUMENT AGAINST THE ABOLI-
TON OF THE PRESIDENTS FLExING POWER
minnesota Tribune)

minnesota Tribune)
When the tariff bill goes into the hands of the
conferees the debate the Presidents fexng DOW
er is certain to be revived
It will be remembered that the senate is opposed
TO MI. hoover on the flexible provisions ISSUE At
present the President acting on the recomm endation
OF the tariff commission can raise lower exist
ing rate up to 30 per cent of its face value.
The senate does not want the President to have
any hand whatsoever in the business of rate-chang-
ing.
Worth considering, therefore is the practice of
other countries. Do other countries permit the
executive to modify rates or do they hold that rate
supervision is exclusively parliamentary function?
survey of the world shows that most other
countries allow their executives even greater dis
creuonary power IN modifying rates than do we in
the United States
Below may be noted the practices of foreign gov.
ernments:
In Argentine the rates may be changed by exec.
utive action.
In Austria they may be changed by executive
decree.
In Belgium the ministry has extensive powers in
connection with the tariff rates.

connection with the tariff rates.

powers

powers in connection with the tariff rates
In Chile import duties may be changed by
ecutve action.
In Costa Rica the executive is empowered to in
crease or decrease the rates on import duties.
In Cuba the president has power to modify the
rates.
In Denmark certain tariff changes may be made
by royal decree
In Finland the executive is empowered, within
limits, to increase and decrease tariff rates.
The French tariff system has high degree of
fexibility, permitting good deal of executive
initiative
In Greece the ministry has sweeping powers in
connection with the tariff rates.
In Haiti import duties may be increased by ex-
ecutive action.
In Italy custom duties may be changed by min
isterial action subject to confirmation by parliament
In Japan, under certain conditions, the tariff
rates may be changed by imperial ordinance
In Lithunania tariff rates may be changed by
executive action.
In Mexico the rates may be changed by execu-
tive action under legislative authority.
In New Zealand the governor-general has broad
powers over the tariff rates.
In Norway the tariff is subject to change by ex-
ecutive action pending submission Of the question
to the legislature.

authorized.

by administrative action.

Not until the 9Th and 7th graders

tie we really knew of the crude

In Portugal the president can promulgate
changes in the tariff law
In Rumania import duties subject to change
by administrative action.
In Russia tariff rates are subject to change by
action OF the central executive committee and the
council OF the peoples commissars.
Subject to legislative approval in the Serb-Croat-
Slovene state import duties may be changed by ex-
ecutive action.
go In Salvador tariff rates are subject to change by
executive action
In Spain the tariff is subject to change by di-
rect executive action.
In Sweden the executive is permitted certain
acknowledging powers.
In Switzerland the effective tariff rates are al
most wholly the result of executive initiative
In the Union of South Africa the governor gem
eral has certain discretionary powers in connecting
with rate fixing
In Uruguay import duties may be changed in eff
feet by executive action.
In Venezuela import duties are subject to change
by executive action.
The foregoing list at least demonstrates that
there is practical force to the argument that the
acknowledging power ought not be lodged in the
hands of the executive
The countries enumerated have all been expert
menting for long time with the business of gov
eminent. ALL through experience, have reached the
conclusion that better results are to be attained
through combined and colaborated executive-and-
parliamentary supervision of the tariff rates than
through monopolistic Judgment of tariff control
in the hands of the parliamentary body.
The idea, then, that the executive, simply be-
cause he is executive should be excluded from
any particpancy in tn ratechanging function seems,
in the light of the experience of other countries per-
fectly absurd.
Judging by the worlds experience in general the
elaborated executive-congressona supervision of
the tariff which flexible arrangement makes pos
sible today is the best practical system for dealing
with tariff.
A study of the practices of other countries leads
one to believe that the American movement to abol-
ish all executive particpancy in the function OF rate
supervision must grow out the senates jealousy of
the executive prerogative rather than out of
Eghtened concept of the ideal governmental method

Deadliest of Poisons
Is Unguarded Tongue

An unmerciful tongue may be
more cruel than the most terrible
instrument of torture ever forged.
1t can stab more keenly than a
dagger. and cut more deeply than a
long sword. That quick tongue;
that fiery, temper-driven tongue;
that insidious, insinuating, or sharp,
sarcastic tongue; all of these, an
inspired writer has said, are set
on fire of hell! It is dangerous to
handle such cruel weapons heed
lessly. With one of them you may
so rend your mothers bosom that
she will wish she had never been
born; you may so pierce your ia
theirs heart as to bring down his
gray hairs in sorrow to the grave;
you may cut the nearest. dearest
ties and leave the heartstrings

Newspapers were credited with greatest

magazine advertising by % per cent, street

announcement cards and program advertis-

to secure merchandise at bargain and they

YACHT CRASH LAID
TO ABSENT LIGHTS
Craft of George PuIver, D. G.,
Drifting When Girl Killed,
Testimony at Inquest.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July l9,-Betty Ayres
was killed early today when the speed
boat Whoopee, in which she was riding
with a pleasure party, crashed into the
racing yawl Scarab, owned by George
Pulver of Washington, d. c., catapult-
ing her against the Sailboat from the
bow Of the speedSter.
Both boats were sunk, but other oc-
cupants escaped with minor hurts. The
collision was said by witnesses at a
coroner's inquest today to have been
caused by absence of proper lights on
the yawl. which was drifting of shore
in Lake Michigan. Pulver did not APP
pear at the inquiry. which was adj
journed until he could be found.
Planned Race Entry.
The Scarab was on its way to Bel
mont Harbor in Lincoln Park to take
part today in the yacht race from Chi
cago to Mackinac. 1t was 63-foot san
and motor boat
Benjamin Marshall, 81, son Of an
Evanston architect, was host on the
speedboat to five young people. They
were accompanied by the Marshall
chauffeur.
Dorothy Marshall, sister of Ben
jamin, was driving the Speedboat at
the time of the crash and testified to-
day at the inquest that she was unable
to see the yawl until it suddenly loomed
up across the smaller crafts bow out
of the night. She said she swung the
rudder hard over, but was unable to
avert collision.
Hurled Against Yacht.
Miss Ayres and young Marshall were
sitting forward on the cabin of the
speedboat. The force of the crash
threw the girl against the gunwale Of
the sailing craft, and her body caromed
into the water. Marshall said he
dived to her aid, but was nicked by the
propeller on his own craft and was
unable to reach the girl.
Coast GuardSmen and life guards
from a nearby beach rushed to the
scene Of the crash and saved the re-
naming members of the party, along
with Pulver and Freeman HiggimSon.

In several round-ups the police drag

then after the conflict was over they
were mustered out In this section.
For 20 years, from 1855 TO 1885, they
met annually at q wine supper. On
July 81, 1885, they formed the Last
Mans Club. There were 80 on the
roster then, and later they added one
more member, Lockwood, who now has
outlived the rest of them.
IT think the boys got the idea of the
Last Mans Club from reading some
story of French soldiers" he explained
'"They used to have those wine suppe q
every year.
Club Was Suggested.
"Then, at one of these gatherings
somebody suggested that they form the
club. They put aside bottle Of wine,
to be drunk by the last surviving men,

Year by year the club has met
There were SO at the start and then
joined as the thirty-fourth member
All of them but myself have passed

The passing Of the old-timers has
been a matter of considerable interest
in recent years, as their numbers mar
rowed down to a mere corporal's
guard.
Last year the gathering of the Last
Mans Club was held in the Minnesota
Club at st. Paul. Three of the veterans
were present, Golf, Hall and Mr.. Lock-

Hall succumbed April 10 Of this year
And now only Lockwood remains-to
carry out those melancholy rites.
