AGRICULTURAL RELIEF 315 brings revenue. If this particular schedule raises, on the Depart- ment of Agriculture figures for the 5-year average on Anierican crops approximately a billion dollars a year, that billion dollars a year income in revenue and inheritances would go a very great way toward filling up this hole. Mr. AsweLL. Yes; but we can not get the tiiiff discussed under this administration. They will not ...1" Mr. Taser. We talk about it. Mr. ASWELL. You are not a Member of Congress. Mr. Taser. Be that as it may—— Mr. Aswern. I am serious about it. You say the tariff is needed. How are you going to get it on unless you can discuss it in Congress? Mr. Taprr. I am going to discuss the tariff a little bit later. But that does not relate to the particular bill at this time. Mr. Aswern. Oh, ves; it does. You said we have to put a tariff on the whole. How are you going to discuss it? Mr. Taser. It will be discussed ; it will have to be. Mr. Aswrrn. You will guarantee that? Mr. Taper. No; I will not. But I am going to say I think it will he discussed. Mr. KincareLoe. There has been a cood deal of talk here around the committee table ever since this hearing started about the practica- bility of getting a bill that has a chance of becoming a law. Mr. Taper. You are talking my language. Mr. Kixcurror. That does not disturb me at all. T have a re- sponsibility myself that I am going to carry out, and let it go where it will. That does not disturb me. But do you think the President of the United States will sign a bill that reduces the tariff of this country $146,183,000 a year? Mr. Taser. I do not think it will reduce the revenue that much, and [ do not think it will reduce the total revenue at all—I have tried very earnestly to sell the President of the United States this idea. Mr. Aswerr. Did you succeed ? Mr. Taper. He listened eloquently. [Laughter.] Mr. AsweLL. You are not in position to make any promise for him yet? Mr. Kincueroe. I am asking that bearing on the proposition of the probability of this bill becoming a law. Mr. Kercuam. If Mr. Taber will permit me, in answering your question of a moment ago, you said, “ Do vou think the President will sign any bill that will reduce the tariffs $£146,000.00072 Mr. Taser. It does not lower the tariff. Mr. KincaerLoE. I understand it does not. Mr. Joxkes. It keeps the tariff right where it is. Mr. Kixcaeroe. He did not say “tariff 7; he said “revenue.” Mr. Taper. He has raised a point I did not bring in. I am going to just bring it in a little later. I am going to answer Mr. Kincheloe and I presume he voted for some of the schedules. I know many men around this table voted for these schedules. Mr. Kixcueroe. What schedules? Mr. Taser. I am now going to discuss. You are raising the ques- ion about this deflectine money from the Treasury. ch
