CONGRESSMAN NORRIS ON THE TARIFF
The Following Record Shows That He Is
For Revision Downward
During the recent debate on the
tariff Congressman George W Nor
ris of the Nebraska Fifth District
was one of the leaders on the floor
of the House In the fight for a re
vision of the tariff downward and
made a telling speech pleading for
a change in the rules which we pro
duce from the Congressional Record
It was known immediately after
the last national election that the
Republican party would undertake to
revise the tariff From the pledges
made by our leader the present
President and generally understood
and accepted by the citizenship of
this country It was understood that
that revision was to be downward
The Republican party will not be
true to its pledges will not redeem
the pledges made to the country un
less it carries out that promise and
that pledge in good faith Now
what is a practical way to proceed
under the present parliamentary
situation The Senate has amended
the bill in many respects I am op
posed to most jf those amendments
but there are some of them that I
think nearly all the members of this
House on both sides and practically
all the citizenship of our country are
in favor of and those are the amend
ments that reduce the tariff schedu
les
We have had much debate on the
tariff bill from the time it was intro
duced but very little opportunity for
voting This House has only voted
upon four or five schedules Now is
the opportunity if the House believ
es as I believe it does that the
amendments made by the Senate
making reductions ought to he con
curred in to vote down the previous
question when this resolution will
then be subject to amendment and
we can concur in those amendments
of the Senate which reduces the tar
iff and go into conference on the bal
ance of the amendments Now in
order that the House and the mem
bership may understand the practi
cal proposition that I intend to offer
if the parliamentary situation is so
that it can be offered and it will be
as I understand it if the previous
question is voted down I intend to
propose at the proper time the fol
lowing resolution and I want to read
it now in my time so it will be known
ana understood when we vote upon
the previous question
Resolved That upon the adoption
of this resolution the House shall
without debate or amendment proce
ed to vote upon proposition of con
curring in such Senate amendments
to H R 1438 as provided a lower
rate of duty than was specified in
said bill as it passed the House
In cases where there is more than
one such senate amendment upon
any one article making reductions
in different grades or classes there
of all such amendments upon each
of said articles shall be voted on en
bloc
Upon the conclusion of such vot
ing all such amendments if any not
concurred in together with all other
Senate amendments to said bill shall
be considered as disagreed to and
as to all of said amendments so disa
greed to the conference asked for
by the Senate shall be considered as
agreed to and a committee of con
ference shall be appointed thereon
During the reading of the above
the time of Mr Norris expired and
he was yielded additional time
Those of you who have expressed
a desire to revise the tariff down
ward heve here an opportunity to
realize your cherished hope To ac
complish this desired result we must
vote down the previous question
then the resolution will be subject
to amendment and I will offer the
resolution which I have read as a
substitute for the one reported by
the Committee on Rules
The gentleman from Michigan
Mr Townsend has expressed a
laudable desire to discuss and con
sider the Senate amendments To be
consistent he should help us to vote
down the previous question and
adopt my resolution To follow the
Committee on Rules he will tie his
hands and smother his voice by his
own action
This resolution represents the sen
timent of insurgent Republicans
who are anxious to redeem in good
faith the pledges of the Republican
party We have gone on the theory
that the House does not care for fur
ther debate on the tariff The reso
lution therefore provides that the
voting shall be without debate If
gentlemen are anxious however to
discuss these Senate amendments ve
are perfectly willing to amend the
resolution by striking out the words
without debate or amendment and
give as full and tree discussion as
the House may desire
What is the duty of the Republi
cans under the present circumstan
ces That the tariff should he re
vised downward and that the Repub
lican party is pledged to so revise it
there can be no doubt In accepting
the Republican nomination for the
Presidency Mr Taft on September
22 1908 in Cincinnati said
But on the whole the tariff ought
to be lowered in accordance with
Republican principles and tho policy
it has always upheld of protection of
our industries
In Milwaukee September 24 1908
in speaking of the tariff he used
this language
It is my judgment that a revision
of the tariff in accordance with the
pledge of the Republican platform
will be on the whole a substantial
revision downward though there
probably will be a few exceptions in
this regard
At Des Moines a day or so after
wards in another public address he
repeated these exact words and then
made this remarkable pledge on he
half of the Republican party
As the temporary leader of the
party I do not hestitate to say with
all the emphasis of which I am ca
pable that if the party Is given the
mandate of power in November it
will perform its promfse in good
faith
When Mr Taft made these utter-

ances ho was the leader of the Re
publican party He was its candi
date for the presidency He spoke
with authority His interpretation
of the Republican platform and Re
publican pledges was disputed by no
one and accepted by all Relying oh
these pledges and promises the peo
ple of the country returned the Re
publican party to power We are
here as a result of these promises
It Is up to us to make gopd In his
Inaugural address President Taft
said
It is thought that there has been
such a change in conditions since the
enactment of the Dingley Act draft
ed on a similar protective principle
that the measure of the tariff above
state will permit the reduction of
rates in certain schedules and will
require the advancement of few if
any
In his message sent to the pres
ent session of this Congress on the
ICth day of May 1909 he express
ed himself as follows
In my inaugural address I stated
in a summary way the principles up
6n which in my judgment the revis
ion of the tariff should proceed
Do we want to keep these pledges
made before election and are we
willing to follow this advice to the
same effect made subsequent to elec
tion If we do we should concur in
those senate amendments that are
reductions in the tariff rates of the
House bill and insist on House rates
where the Senate has increased them
To do this we must defeat the report
of the Committee on Rules and adopt
the substitute I have read Mark my
word you will never have another
opportunity to get a separate vote on
these items
If you want to reduce the tariff
now is the time here is the place
and this Is your opportunity Concur
in these reductions and so much is
cinched Do you want to reduce the
rates on gloves and hosiery in accord
ance with the demans and entreat
ies of millions of our people Let
me warn you that unless you em
brace this opportunity the chances
are 10 to 1 that you will never have
another chance It is argued that we
will have an opportunity to discuss
and vote on the conference report
when it comes in The conference
report will probably contain several
hundred items We will not get a
senerate vote but will have to ac
cept all or reject all The method
that we propose will shorten our la
bors
Adopt our proposition and in two
hours time we will not only have
disposed of all Senate amendments
where the rate is reduced but we will
have given the House opportunity to
express itself on every one of them
something that it has not yet been
allowed to do by those who hold it
subjective The proposition of the
Committee on Rules is that the
House shall tie its hands and dele
eate all its legislative functions to a
conference committee It does not
1 At TX
even retain tne power in tuts nuusu
to select this committee Our pro
position it to have the House decide
on at least a portion of this bill while
the proposition of the Rules Commit
tee is to refer it all to a committee
appointed by the Speaker
I submit Mr Speaker that with
our rule adoid we will give the
House an opportunity to do what it
has not yet done vote on different
schedules of this bill and in each
instance an opportunity if it sees fit
to do so by its vote to reduce the
schedules cut them down and then
comply as nearly as we can under
the present parliamentary situation
with the pledges and the promises
which we have made to the country
and which in my judgment we are
in honor bound to carry out in good
faith Applause
