S. army" will have to be placed somewhere on the new tariff, bill by reason of the highly important, contribution of Major Herbert M. Lord, U- S. A.. to the work of preparing it. j That an army officer should be the; chief of all the tariff experts of the great committee on finance has been the occasion for a good many jokes since the'-bill came from committee. Senator J. P. Dolliver painted a thrill-H ing word picture of. Major Lord, enr i sconsed jn a private ofiice in the sen- j .ate office building, bis name, on the ! door, arrayed in all the bravery and ' panopoly of war. figuring percentages and counting the threads in square ' inches of cotton , fabrics. While it" seems a bit funny, the fact is that j Major Lor? knows more about tariff.! than any other one man now- extant More than that, instead of his army training making Mm a tariff expert, his tariff expertness made ' him an army officer. Possessor of sr Wonderful Memory. Major Lord's career as a tariff er- Trt began about fourteen years ago; He was a Maine man and became sec? retary .of Governor Dingley about two years before the Dingley revision was taken up. He developed great, aptitude for the work, having a'great "head for figgers" and a memory which every body admitted eonIdnt be- beaten.' He : hail- rtn r nt inn rrf fionimfrtcr o CnlfTioi I In anticipation of the re-vision which was coming on. he set about studying tariff.- He learned the story of all the. schedules and tariff acts from the be ginning, read the-debates and affiil--a ted with the customs experts till he knew all they did and remembered ev ery .word and decimal point of it all, -. So by the time the Dingley bin had become law Lord was recognized by both 'Dfngiey and1 AWrich,-as well as " by Allison and the rest of Its makers, as the greatest living aggregation ofj accurate tariff information: President! McKInley had come to know and like him'; in Tact, knew him quite well be fore be -was elected president. ; Excellent Record In the Philippines. - - After the tariff act had passed Pres ident McKinley indicated a desire to do something for Mr. Lord. The Span ish war came on, and Lord was offered i a commission as captain paymaster i and, sent to the Philippines. ; There his service - was excellent, . His accounts j were always accurate and complete, i and he won promotion to a majority on his merits." He was quietly pursu ing his army career when the revision of 1909 became imminent, and Senator Aldrich sent for him. Could he help out the finance -committee, again? Cer tainly. : DidV; he think he -:,had. pre served such accurate recollection of all those detailed - transactions of twelve years ago as would be reliable and secure? - Of course- he had. v He demonstrated right away, that he knew the old tariff law in every, detail. That settled it. He was detailed, by, the army-people to the special service of helping to make the tariff bill and be came .the alter ego of Senator Al drich. . '. - "What sort of .bill are you going to make?" an old friend asked him soon after he had settled down to work. . '.'You were here when we made the last one?" he countered. "Yes, I was." "Do : you . recollect what sort that was?" . - - ' . "It's generally, understood to; have been-of the upward style,"., was the reply. ' .' . v' ' ; "Well,", Major Lord replied, "that's the. only kind I know how to write. Wait and see how It comes-out." - And the friend to whom he made that-observation Is lugging it around as the evidence - that if - justice were done to everybody In tariff making af fairs this bill -would be known as the ,Lord bill.
