Revision Work Major Herbert Lord
: Did Twelve Years Ago Won Him His
Military Commission Said to Know'
More About the Tariff Than Any
, Other Living Man, ' -' j
The brand 'U. 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. Washington Cor. New York.
