Tariff Debates and Art Bill Sparks in Congress
Washington March 3. Hon. Samuel J Randall drew applause as he supported the Ways and Means tariff plan now before the House. Breckinridge urged revenue reform and Democratic unity to pass the bill, while Chandler faced scrutiny over art purchases. The National Art Commission bill passed the Senate and Corcoran bequeathed $100 000 to the gallery. Senator West attacked veteran pension lobbyists and urged opposing the dependent pension bill.
