he rainerd aily ispatch -C Volarne 12, Number 44 BRAINERD, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1912 Price Two Cents VOTES FUNDS FOR TARIFF EXPERTS Senate Makes Provision to Save POLICE APPEAR the Board. HOUSE NOT LIKELY TO AGREE Appropriation of $225,000 for Another Work of Investigation Is Placed in the Sundry Civil Bill. House Refused to Vote Money When It Framed the Measure. Washington, July tariff board procured the prom- lee of one more year of life from the penate. After a short tight that body by a vote of 34 to 20 authorized in the sundry civil appropriation bill an expenditure of $225,000 for another work of investigation by the tariff exports.

Whether the appropriation is finally made will depend on the strength Jrtth which the house resists the demands. The house refused to provide for the tariff board when It framed the sundry civil bill and its conferees are expected to fight the provision when the big supply measure Is sent into conference between the two houses. Democrats opposed the tariff board provision with but three Senators Chamberlain, Newlanda and the regular and progressive were united In its support. The first move by the democrats was an amendment by Senators Stone and Bacon for a congres- ional tariff commission to consist of ve senators and five members of the house. This was defeated by a party vote of 31 to 21.

The presidential tariff board was made more subservient to congress, however, by an amendment by Senator Bristow, accepted by the senate without a vote, and which requires the board to report to congress once year. An attempt by Senator tBtone to reduce the appropriation from $225,000 to $100,000 was defeated. The senate practically completed the sundry civil bill, but the passage Of the measure was delayed. The moat Important changes affected by amendment in addition to the adoption of the tariff board appropriation were: amendment restricting the em- lloyment of former employes of the 4deral department of Justice as private counsel for the government at increased compensation. An amendment for $300,000 appropriation to the pension office ta aid the commissioner in handling the $00,000 claims arising under the new pension law.

President tariff veto messages and the work of some of the experts of the tarifT board were bitterly arraigned during the debate In the senate.
