national committee In the midst of these and other of dramatic" Ino'tVon picture politics let us consider for a flattering moment the cautious pedestrian habits of our hero the president-elec- t who- being a miner works always by preference under ground rather than up in the air where he can be shot at and let us additionally in the name of prose and in defiance of poetry think for a calming instant of the merely natural and automatic tasks which actually confront him in Washington TO SAVE TIME Hoover has to talk with everybody of any importance in Republican natlonalpolitics in order to find out just what has happened while he has been away and in order to find out just where he himself is at' in the center of it all now He can' talk with a statesman and get the conversation15concluded and minutes in accomplished in Washington whereas if the statesthe man had to go to Florida length of the trip would make him feel that the time was wasted unless the conversation with Hoover lasted about three hours Moreover there are some lofty statesmen— such as particularly William Edand most eminently -would gar Borah — who probably not leave their high duties in Washington and proceed to Florida or any other spot anywhere at the demand or request of any earthly potentate monarch or dignitary monarch-elec- t whatsoever COMING TO CONVERSE Such is the simple reason why Hoover is coming to Washington Ho is coming to converse He is coming to do it where the conversing can be readiest and shortest He is coming to talk and thn oiidthen only to act in his own time and in his own way In most jays he has lots of time stretching before him In the mat- ter of the cabinet for instance he can settle down into his famous chair in the study deep low padded sink of his house on S street andmuch-marked his head over his chest in his meditative manner and ponder all he likes lor many weeks to come if he wants to This is because there is a certain fact about the 'cabinet that- is seldom recognized or remembered There is just one member ot the cabinet" whoso term seems necessarily to expire in March of next That member is the postyear master general The United States code says about him: "The term of the postmaster general shall be for and during the term of the president by whom he Is appointed and for one month thereafter unless sooner remov: - - 1 Hoover therefore must nominate a new postmaster gencrat or renominate the present one and send the nomination to the senate if4 the senate is in session by April OTHERS DIFFERENT WITH With all other ' members of the cabinet the situation seems to be In reference to nuite different the secretary of the treasury for instance the code says simply: "There shall be at the seat of government an executive department to be known as the department of the treasury an da of the treasury and a sec-b- o the head thereof" And there the pertinent portion of the code seems to sop And what does that mean? The meaning is being diligently investigated by competent lawyersbut tjhere are already many learni (Continued on Page Two) soc-me- nt tion for which hearings are uled to start before the ways and means committee a week from Monday is a much rnore complicated task than merely jacking up a few score rates of import duty and down others slashing ' Rates are important but so are the support and administrative sections of a tariff act It is proposed in the forthcoming revision of the tariff to pay particular attention to matters other than figures of customs duties to be levied against imports Just as In the income tax provisions of a revenue act the arrangement of the brackets is fully as important as the rates written act the adtherein so In ve provisions vitally afmin fect of the amount of revenue to be collected It t a huge task which the wax and means committee faces in iffwriting the tariff act Tet it is not as heavy as that involved In the revision which brought forth thernresent law in 19 22 In the lattl case the problem was one of translating a "competitive" bill or a tariff for revenue only written by the Democrats in 1913 into a protective tariff of Republican complexion In the prospective revision the basis upon which work will begin already Is protective and the problem resolves itself into one of changes in figures and language to meet hew conditions which have arisen since 1922 4000 COJOIODITIES But figures of rates up or down is no child's play There are more than 4000 commodities especially mentioned in the) present tariff act In more than Jfialf of these cases to change the duty on one commodity will "necessitate changes in a dozen or more Jf others of related character just as a pebble tossed into a pool causes ripples in every direction Take wool for example If the rate of duty on raw wool were to be changed it would necessitate changes in every single item of the schedule following the raw material to translate the protective duty given wool into a compensatory duty in every article made of wool The protective duty on the fabricated merchandise that is the duy considered sufficient to make tip the diferences in labor and processing costs here and abroad might be sufficient but the change In the raw material rate would necessitate an alteration of the compensatory duty or the schedule would be out of line If the duty on butter is tobe changed And so must be that on cream there are 1342 rates In the pres ent tariff act some covering a number of items TOOK TEN MONTHS It required ten months to on the 19 22 tariff act As the compensatory differences are known factors and the net bill will be of the same protective character es the old the approaching task will be more simple Added to which is the important fact that the two major political parties now are much nearer to the same point of view toward tariff policy than they were seven years ago Many of the administrative provisions of the tariff act are obsolete Court rulings have affected others experience has brought the customs bureau to a desire for a change in more For one thing the treasury officials will ask that the draw back provision be changed in the revision By this section there is a refund of 99 per cent of the import duty when foreign commodities brought here for manufacture are exported In sugar for illustration this runs Into a large sum — $5777 Oao last year Total drawbacks run about $15000000 annually The treasury wants a limitation of three years during whichmerchandise may be kept here be(Continued on
