Committee and co-author of the Smoot-

Senator Smoot said:
L desire TO call Senator Robinson s
attention to the fact that never has a
tariff bill been enacted during a ses-
sion Immediately preceding a preSi-
Dental election. Under the flexible pro-
vision of the present tariff act either
reductions or increases can be secured
on specific items without disturbing our
whole financial and business structure ."

Hawley tariff from foreign governments.
the finance chairman charged that
Senator Thomas, Oklahoma Democrat.
had sent letter to other countries in
viting criticisms against the provision

D. c. POLICE GET
HIGHER PAY

In the midst of a crime
epidemic, Washington finds it.
self not only with a considerably
larger police force than is en-.
listed in other cities of com
parable size, but also a better
paid one.
Only a few years ago the com.
pariSOn on both counts ran
heavily against the District. Con.
gresS has now, however, provided
the Capital with the means to
obtain what ought to be one of
the best police establishments in
the United States.
A comparative table compiled
by the Personnel Classification
Board shows that the Washington
police force had a total roster Of
1928 patrolmen in 1880. Three
key cities in the nation-San
Francisco, Buffalo and Milwaukee,
all of them larger than the Capt.
tai - had police forces much
smaller.
