Gigantic Task Faced By the Democrats
These Are Slid Days for New Ways and Means Committee With a Itepiibllcan President and Senate,
Can the House Force Through a Measure to Supplant the 1'ayne.Aldrich Tariff Hill? They Must Do
In a Short Time AVhat the It -publicans Took a Year Jit,
WASHINGTON, D. C, March U
These aro and days for the new
democratic ways nnd means commit
tee. All that they have to do within
the next two months is to change the
entire system of tariff framing,
grant hearings to nil it'le rested par
ties that is, constructively spenking
rnzo the protective tariff wall, huiU
a careful revenue only structure in
its place: "hone" up on the dreary
piles of statistics of iiapn-ts, niniiu
frfcturers, cost of labor, and trans
portation, nnd, finally nursi into be
ing a successor to the Ptiyne-AM-rich
law.
What the republican wnys nnd
menus committee of the past con
gress took practically u Mar to ac
complish, they must condense into ihe
next few months. They arc handi
capped by n republican administra
tion in charge of the executive de
partments, nnd by knpwlodgo of the
lack of a majority in thr. senate.
Theirs is the tnsk not only of turn
ing out a series of tariff bi'ls re
vising the Pnyne-Aldrich measure
which President Tuft said was. the
best yet enncted but the Herculean
job of trying to jam those bills
through a republican sonnto nnd.
probably, pnst a veto by a republi
can president.
Lenders on both sides who have
viewed the situation nrc tonight un
animous in their belief that the ex
tra session will not come to a clnso
until the lntter part of October. I3x
Speaker Cannon, it is known, has
mnde all preparations to r.nnn'n in
Washington until November.
Tho coming session is expected to
set a new record. The extra session
of 1009 lasted 144 days. That of
1841, the record for extra sessions
to date, covered- 1GG days. Theio is
every prospect that the seiou of
1911 will occupy 200.
Fortunately for the way.-; nnd
means committee, n democrat ir cau
cus has already determined in f-ivjr
of a schedule by schedule rovision of
the Payne law. This menus that tho
democVntic tnriff framers en con
centrate their energies. The can
take up one schedule nt a time, grant
hearings, figure out satistics, nnd
get n bill through, before being forced
to turn their attention to some other
schedule.
Thnt system will delay final amns
culation and repeal of tho Payne
law. I( is believed, however, that
it will have a less drastic effect on
file industrial world than a 'brand
now tariff law. Business interests
will have time to get used to a grad
ual process of tariff change.
It was pointed out by students of
history that the Payne law will have
the shortest life of any of tho great
customs mensures since tl foundn
tion of the government. No other
ono wus superseded for at least four
years.
Incidentally, the Underwood tariff
law, as the completed democratic
measure will probably bckuown, will
he the first democratic tariff since
August 24, 1890, when the Wilson
Qormnn law pased. It was not un
til 1897 that this measure was sup
erseded by the Dingley bill, n re
publican product.
The woolen schedule 1ms been sub
ject to more denunicntion than, any
of the other divisions of tho Payne
bill. Because it affects every man
who wears a suit in which there is
a thread of wool, it has aroused na
tional nntngouism.
As a means of forcing nt lenst one
of their schedules by schedule re
visions through the republican sen
nte, and by President Tnft, tho de
mocrats have nlrendy plnnned to
tack on to one of their tariff bills the
president's Canadian reciprocity ag
reement. They will then depend up
on President Tnft's enthusinstic de
sire for reciprocity to win his favor
for the schedule to which the agree
ment it attached.
Not only his approval as President
is expected to follow the passing of
the reciprocity niensure, but his in
fluence with the repuhlicns member?
of the upper house is looked forward
to by the democrats. They think that
Tnft will use his iuflttcnco fur
ther any measure within reason which
assures reciprocity.

The reciprocity arrnngcnielit, how
ever, will probably be held up by the
democratic jiouso until they put a
few other tnriff propositions before
tho senate and the president. The
lenders beflieve that in reciprocity
they have a lever which should give
them a great advantage in pushing
through a number of tariff laws
framed on democratic doctrines. In
order to do this, they propose to
tell president Tnft thnt if he will
agree to certain democratio tariff
revisions, they will pass his reciproc
ity nrnngement.
President Tuft's nid is also expect
ed by tho democrats in the revision
of the wool schedule. Tnft, in nil his
defense of the Pnyne-Aldrich tin iff
lnw, hns coinstnntly admitted that
tho wool schedule really needs re
vision, and ho will be called upon to
show whether he thinks tho time hu.
come for that revision.
All in nil, tho democrats are pre
paring some rnthcr interesting things
for both President Tnft nnd the rc
publicnu senate in the extra session
They hope to widen tho breach be
tween the Old Gunrd in tho senate and
the Pack-to-tho-People republicans
on tho tnriff quetsion ,nnd in mnny
other wnys to embarrass the repub
lican lenders.

Agricultural College estimates in his biennial report, just
