Longworth Tariff Bill Introduced and Reapportionment Plans
Representative Longworth of Ohio introduced a bill to create a permanent tariff board with subpoena power and full investigative ability. The plan, praised by the National Tariff Commission, requires five commissioners and Senate confirmation. Parallel House rules amendments seek to tighten discharge readings and expand committee openness. Two reapportionment bills would set House size and representation, omitting new states Arizona and New Mexico. The Panama Railroad relocation costs are requested at 1.75 million dollars. Senate adjournment after Elkins death alters Lorimer debate timing and potential minority reports by Beveridge or Owen.
