Excerpt from The Tariff Laws of States, of the United States: Explanatory Notes, Citations From Decisions of the Courts and the Treasury DepartmentIt is authoritatively stated that only the extreme pressure of time incident to a night-session of the Tariff Conference Committee, almost at the close of the last session of Con gress, prevented the bill, proposed by the Tariff Commission, for the establishment of a Customs Court, from becoming a law.However, these decisions have been carefully examined and analyzed, and the results are so stated as to present, as clearly as may be, both the rulings and the principles under lying them. Decisions which have been overruled by later ones or superseded by changes in the law, or are too trivial to be of general interest, or relate purely to questions of fact, have not been referred to, unless for special reasons.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
