The people are not fools. They understand that you will not legislate for them if you create this tariff board. They know it is in the interest of a certain class and that that class will furnish the information to this board. Under this bill the board is clothed with power to go abroad into foreign lands. have wine junkets and joy rides. just as the Immigration Commission did. I am against that kind of a proceeding from beginning to end. This board could spend $1.000.000 every yearyea. $5.000.000under this law and there would be no way to prevent it.
