Taft to study plan for tariff revision and tariff board
President Taft will soon consider a program of legislation to be recommended to Congress in December. The plan centers on schedule by schedule tariff revision aided by reports from the tariff board and aims to enlarge the board into a full statutory tariff commission while extending civil service to more federal officials. The move seeks to reassure the public of deliberate, scientific revisions without repeated changes.
