President Expects Report on
Wheat Duty Today—ill
Act Within 48
Hours.
Step Toward Farm Relief
By Anwialcd Prc»«.
Washington, Feb. 2«.—An increase
in the tarriff rates on wheat as a
result of ttie tarrif commission's in
vestigation was forecast today at the
White House.
The commission’s conclusions arc
understood to show a difference in
the production cost of wheat in
Canada andi in the Vnited States
greater than is represented in the
present duty of 30 cents a bushel.
The president expects to act prompt
ly, in accordance with the report of
t lie commission, under the flexible
provisions of the tariff act.
He probably will increase the duty
to 45 cents, the maximum allowed
under the law.
By P. C POWKI.I,
WatldiiKton riirrespondent The Omaha Bee.
Washington, Fell. 29.—Prompt ac
tion by President Coolidge on the
wheat report of the Vnited Slates
tariff commission was promised to
day at the regular newspaper con
ference with the president at the
White House.
Tbe assertion was made positively
in response to questioning that it
was the understanding of the presi
dent that the report would reach the
White House probably tomorrow and
it would show an increased tariff was
necessary.
An equally positive statement was
Issued to the effect that if the ex
pected proof of the lower cost of pro
duction In Canada were shown in the
report of the tariff commission that
the president would Issue the order
immediately. In official circles In
Washington it was stated that beyond
doubt the order for a higher tariff
would he issued within the next 48
hours at least.
First Farm Belief Measure.
largely through the efforts of Sen
ator It. B. Howell, the White House
became busy today in ascertaining
from the tariff commission if any
delay was threatened in finishing the
report. It was stated at the com
mission that the final checking of
the report was under way tonight
and everything indicated it would be
delivered to President Coolidge some
time tomorrow.
This assurance by the tarrif com
mission to the White House of prompt
delivery of the report tomorrow,
coupled with the official statement
from the White House that the re
port would rail for Immediate atten
tion and action Is basis for the con
fidence in official circles tonight that
the first of the many contemplated
flops for farm relief will he a higher
wheat tariff, ordered probably within
48 hours.
Oil Scandal Interferes.
Senators representing agricultural
stales were balked again today In
getting ths Norbeck farm relief bill
before the senate for "consideration
because of continual debate on the
Teapot Dome scandal, particularly the
resolution calling for an Investiga
tion of Attorney (Jenernl Harry
Daugherty.
This has made the third consecu
tive day that democratic member*
have insisted on prolonging ths de
bate in face of protests from Senator
Ladd of North Dakota, and Norbeck
of South Dakota, who have pleaded
for a temporary discontinuance of
politics in the senate and action in
behalf of stricken wheat farmers of
the northwest. Yesterday Senator
Norbeck was promised consideration
of the bill today, but the promise was
not kept.

Simmons Salary
Cut Bill Adopted
_
Provides for Reduction of Pay
anti Allowance of New
Appointees.
By I*. C. BOWEI.I..
tViiiliingtciit Ccirmpcmdrat The Omaha Hte.
Washington, Feb. 2!).—Amendments
to the revenue bill introduced today
by t'ongresman Bob Simmons of Ne
braska, would cut salaries and sub
sistenee allowances of a number of
new appointees provided fur in the
measure.
The first Simmons amendment call
ed for reduction of s claries of mem
bers of the proposed new board of
tax appeals from $10,000 to $7,500
per year. The second amendment
would cut their subsistence allow
ance from $10 to $7.50 per clay.
I understand the hill proposes to
put this board under the commission
er of internal revenue at a salary
equivalent to that of tit# commission
er, ” Simmons said. "It proposes to
pay them a salary greater than that
teceived by the judges of 42 of the
supreme courts of our etat-e. Only
four states of the 48 pay a salary In
excess of $10,000.
More Than Judges Get.
' We propose to pay this board a
salary of $1,500 a year more than
that received by a Judge of the cir
cuit c ourt of appeals and $2,500 more
per year than that received by a
Judge of the federal district court.
It Is a salary greater than that re
ceived by 400 of our governors. We
propose to pay them 33 1-3 per cent
more salary than Is received by a
senator or a congressman."
In reply to Simmons. Representa
tive Green of Council Bluffs, pointed
out that members of the feelerul
trade commission get $10,000 as well
as members of the farm loan board.
He asserted that men on these two
hoards did not have as much respun
sibllity as the proposed tax appeal
board would In handling cases in
volving millions.
Basses by 101411 Vote.
"Is it not true," Simmons demand
ed, "that Judges of our state courts
have cases before* them Involving
such sums?"
"Yes. but not often." Green re
plied. "It Is perfectly true you
could get good men to serve on the
federal trade commission and farm
loan board at a salary of $..,000 or
fd.tlOO a year, but can you get proper
men for this place at such a salary?
Men filling similar positions, who can
handle this work, are getting from
$10,000 to $20,000 in private life and
in order to get the same efficiency
we must’meet salaries of private con
cerns."
On ttie vote on the salary reduction
amendment, Simmons won by a vote
of 101 to 64.
It was the first speech of the
Sixth district congressman at this
session. Seldom a day passes that
Edgar Howard doesn't talk. As yet,
