Washington, D. C, Jan. 12. The
passage of a permanent tariff -commission
bill Is advocated by President
John Cobb of the national tariff com
mission association who addressed the
delegates today.
"If we desire sound results," he
said, "the first step Is to secure a
thorough knowledge of existing con
ditions." President Jacob Schurman of Cor
nell university in addressing the con
vention, said revision shouldn't be left
entirely to the commission. "So many
elements enter Into tariff revision that
a commission cannot replace con
gress which voices the Judgment of
the people. This is a fundamental
question. and the findings of the tar
iff commssion alone cannot furnish
a scientific solution and take the tar

bills on this subject. The first pro
vides that the penalty shall be from
