Commission
Qreat Help to the Executive In the
Application of the Maximum and
Minimum Principle of the Payne
•111 and in Negotiating Foreign
Trade Agreements.
Washington, April 1.—President
Taft has declared himself In favor of
a tariff bureau to be created at this
session of congress. He believes that
such a bureau would be of great as
sistance to him in the application of
the maximum and minimum principle
of the Payne bill in the negotiation
of foreign trade agreements, as well
aa in furnishing detailed information
to congress and to the White House
on various tariff questions as they
arise. The president's announcement
was made to the executive committee
of the committee of 100 created by the
national tariff convention recently
held in Indianapolis.
This committee, consisting of H. E.
Miles, chairman Henry R. Towne of
New York and D. A. Tompkins of
Charlotte, N. C., called at the White
House to lay before the president
the views of the tariff convention and
to recommend a permanent tariff com
mission. The members of the execu
tive committee agree with the presi
dent that it is necessary for congress
to provide a commission or bureau for
the aid of the executive and of the
legislative departments of the govern
ment and they will use their influence
aa
far as possible to secure legislation
on the subject at this session of con
gress.

Quoting from a speech by President
Taft that the primary purpose of a
tariff was that more revenue may be
provided for the government Mr.
Brantley (Ga.) declared this to be
true Democratic doctrine. The pri
mary purpose of the Payne bill, he
contended, was not revenue, but the
maintenance of the true Republican
theory of protection. Mr. Brantley
laid the present deficit at the door of
what he charged was Republican ex
travagance.

Mr. Rothermel of Pennsylvania, In
a brief but vigorous speech favoring
reduction on wood pulp and print pa
per, severely arraigned the Gould Pa
per company and the Continental Pa
per Bag company. He quoted from
testimony of representatives of these
companies under oath before the
Mann commission, in which it was
stated they knew of no agreement or
understanding among them fixing
prices and yet, he said, both com
panies pleaded guilty to indictments
charging them with unlawful combina
tion in restraint of trade during the
period beginning Sept. 19, 1906, and
paid fines of $2,000 each. Mr. Rother
mel maintained that so long as the
fines were so small it would result in
placing a premium on wrongdoing
and also be considered a good invest
ment on the part of the lawbreakers.
