Senator McCumber's Record on the Tariff
Senator McCumber, elected to the finance committee on March 22, 1909, championed substantial tariff reductions while protecting agricultural interests in North Dakota. He pushed for free lumber and coal, reductions on glass and agricultural implements, and argued for a commission to study production costs. His stance supported the Payne tariff bill as a pragmatic Republican measure aligning with platform promises and national needs.
