In the opinion j ff Street Commissioner

If the weather of today would last forever
there would! be no used" ot repair work

"If you would pasta-brown paper on the

"On the same principle, then, the 'pasting'
of this coating of sleet on the pavements
will make them wear longer." On account
of the sleet being froicn to the pavement
it would be impossible for the street force
to remove It, and tjie commissioner Is fur
tilKhed an excuse fur saving his appropria

NO TARIFF COMMISSION NOW
Eerinon Delegation Call Upon
Cannon and Chairman Payne.
ACTION PROBABLE NEXT YEAR
Cnaarreaslonal Leaders Sag Plan
Impracticable and That Matter
la
villi Be Taken Vp
Seat Year.
WASHINGTON, Feb. &.-Thf present
congress will not appoint a tariff commis
sion. A revision of the tariff will be un
dertaken next winter In the short term.
These announcements, In substance,
were made today by Chairman Payne of
the house committee on Ways and means,
In the presence and with the tacit ap
proval of Speaker Cannon, the occasion
being a call upon thosa leaders by a
tariff revision delegation from various
parts of the country, comprising repre
sentatives of many of the biggest manu
facturing and industrial concerns In the
United States and headed by James W.
Van Cleave of St. Louis, president of the
National Association et Manufacturers.
Former Governor J. N. Batchelder of
New Hampshire and H. E. Miles of Ra
cine, Wis., chairman of the tariff com
mitted of the National Association of
Manufacturers.
The delegation spent more than an
hour presenting Its case and listening to
replies by the two foremost republican
leaders In the house, who, while they
were cordially couched, were practically
a refusal of all that the delegation had
Journeyed to Washington to plead for.
Ara-nment of Van Cleave.
In Introducing the subject of the ap
pointment of a tariff commission. In line
with the Beveridg bill recently offered
In the senate, Mr. Van Cleave said the
delegation was unanimous In tho belief
that the matter of the tariff can best, be
handled by the passage of a hard headed
"business bill-' which would so aniend
the tariff schedules as lo encourage the
development of foreign commerce by the
producers of the t'ntted Slates without at
the same time exposing their goods to
the reactionary effect of free trade. He
said it was the firm belief of the vast
Interests represented by the members of
the delegation that a wholesome revision
of the tariff could be best gotten at by
a commission appointed to ascertain the
costs of domestic production, the relative
profits derivable from 1iome and foreign
sales and alt the multitudinous facts ap
pertaining to so complex and Important
a subject. x ,
"We want," he said, "and we believe
we can truthfully state to you that the
whole country wants, a sound and- rational
business consideration of the subject, and
we believe after long and earnest study
of the situation that the suggestion of the
appointment of a tariff commission to
stand between us and you, to receive and
weigh and formulate the mass of technical
Information we have to offer and to then
present It to congress in compact and In
telllgel shape, embodies the best means of
arriving at that result."
Several other speakers talked along these
lines. Speaker Cannon, Interrupting one of
them, asked:
"Do I understand that you favor on the
part of the United States an even tariff
with every other country in the world, ex
cept thnt we shall enforce our maximum
tariff against such countries as discriminate
against our exports that you favor a min
imum and maximum tariff with that ap
plication?" The answer was strongly affirmative.
"Theh," snld tho speaker, "I am glad to
hear your 'medicine, for that Is precisely
the kind of tariff I believe In myself."
Speech of Mr. Cannon.
In his general answer to the statements of
the delegation, Mr. Cannon spoke In part
as'follows:
You say the tariff ought to be revised.
You have virtually said that It ought lo
have been revised the day It was enacted
that It was wrong In the beginning. Well,
It was not perfect and It is not perfect
now. Protection, gentlemen Is with God,
not with humanity and as our SO.OOO.miu
of i people constitute sovereignty In this
country and can only exercise that sov
ereignty et the ballot box they divide us
Into a majority and minority, so that when
you come lo enact legislation some party
has always been and always will be at
least for a generation and some times for
longer responsible for that legislation and
the other party will occupy the standpoint
of criticism. That Is ae It should bu. And
now that the underbrush is cleared away,
as It were, let's getMo thetpoint. Let me
suggest that should the house pass such a
tarlf commission bill as you ask for, there
is no certainty of what the senate would
do. In the senate there Is no "previous
question." There three senators can by
virtue of their right toan unlimited oc
cupancy of tho floor hold up any measure
for as long as two years without possi
bility of prevention.
We once, I remember, had a tariff com
mission. And I am told that lt report
was so voluminous that It was never even
read. It Is one thing to make sugges
tions; It is another thing to enact those
suggestions into law and take the conse
quences if you make a mistake.
"The national conventions," continued.
Speaker Cannon, "may determine that tho
ncx congress shall revise the tariff for it
goes' without saying that the policies to
be enunciated by those conventions will
be the policies governing the two parties,
and if the democrats should be entrusted
with the power we know the tariff will
be' revised and If with the republicans
remains the majority Iwa know the power
to revise will be In the next congress
vested. But let me ask you frankly: In
this present time of financial depression
and liquidation, hw faor in the hands
of a partisan 'commission would a tariff
Investigation progress toward accomplish
ment?" Mr. Payne Is Emphatic.
Mr. Cannon then in giving way to Repre
sentative Payne, commended the chair
man of the ways and means committee
as one who "knows aa much about tariff
schedules and all the facts underlying
them as any man in the United States"
Mr. Payne made his position clear at
once by appealing to the delegation to see
the unwisdom of the appointment of a
necessarily "partisan tariff commission
as proposed In the Beverldge bill" at the
heels of a financial panic and on the eve
of u pretitdentlul campaign. You would
not ask a committee of congress to un
dertake a tariff revision at such a time,"
he said, "yet how much more disturbing
it will be to a commission holding public
hearings on the tariff at this time." He
continued.
My position la that when It shall be
best for the interests of the A in r Iran
people to undertake a revision of the
tariff, that Is the time when 1 shall favor
a revision and 1 should urge a minimum
and maximum tariff coupled with trm ex
isting law, empowering the United States'
lo make trade agreements with oilier
countries;' and I would follow France,
Germany and Russia in the provlakgi
that the minimum tariff should afford a
fair protection to home products.
I think the signs of the times are thai
next winter the congress will undertake
a revision of the' tarilf. Shall we get our
working Information at first hand from
the producers themselves, or shall we
content ourselves with getting It second
hand from a body ot men appointed as a
tariff investigation commission T 'rom
what I have seen of the formation of
tariff bills, and I have been eighteen
years a member of the ways and means
committee and for the lam nine years Its
chairman.. 1 should by sll means seek it
at first hand. You cannot ronvlnce me,
gentlemen, of the ted. mi of appointing
such a commission at thla session,
t'ouslna to Hetlre.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal

Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you

Charcoal sweetens he breath after amok-

Charcoal effectually clears and Im

eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; It dls
