Amended Payne Bill Is Placed
oi Galendart
DLL CHANGES. NOT YET MADE
--
Hosiery and GloveA Restored to Rates
Provided for la (Present Law- Reve
nue Producing Features of Measure
Are but Little Changed.
Tjir'riTritt bill 1b now on the Bcnato
'-"tfilendnr nnd by an agreement reached
an thu floor, consldcratlun of the meas
uro will begin this week. Tho bill
was laid boforo tho flnanco commit
tee. with tho Democratic members
present, and after thirty minutes' par
leylng a vote was taken on the ques
tion of making Immediate report to
tho senate, all of the Republicans vot
ing In tho nfllnnntlvo ana tho Demo
crats In the negative Boon after tho
senate mot Senator Aldrlch presented
tho amended lilll. Senator Dnnlol, on
bchnlf of the minority, protested that
tho Democrats hnd not been given an
opportunity to examines tho mensuru,
and Aldrlch replied that they could
mnko their examination ny Thursday.
He stated also that as tho majority Is
responsible for the bill, of course,
hastening the roport was warranted.
All Changes Not Yet Made.
The reported bill docs not contain
nil tho changes In tho rates which tho
finance committco proposes to make.
Although sqvcrnl Important amend
ments, such as the restoration of tho
Dlnglny rates on women's gloves nnd
hosiery, tho placing of works of art
on tho free list, and tlio assessment
of a duty on iron ore hnvo been made,
tho revenue producing possibilities of
tho bill are little changed. Tho In
creases arc provldod mainly in tuo
b'chedulo covering luxuries, tho entire
liquor schedule being materially ad
vanced. Tho Increase on wines and
spirits is oxpected to bring in about
$3,000,000 additional revenue. Senator
Aldrlch stated that tho committco
realizes that tho Increases thus far
reconimonded will not bo sutllclcnt to
counter-balance tho loss tn revenues
. that will result from the reductions
and the lengthening of the freo list.
This Hhortttgo will necessitate further
increases on curtain luxuries nnd tho
commlttoo Intends to report some
changes at an early day which It will
aBk tho BCimto to adopt.
In discussing tho revenue features
of tho bill. Senator Aldrlch insisted
that ns it will bo amended by tho sen
nto tho Payne bill will provide suffi
cient funds to meet tho expenses of
tho government without resorting to
any but Import taxes. In this connec
tion theso articles which the fedoral
government purchases in largo quan
tities in foreign markets are to ho pro
vided with lower rates of duty.
No maximum nnd minimum pro
visions or administrative fontures,
which Include additional forms of tax
ation, wore reported In the bill. Be
sides, tho dutiable and freo lists, thu
only additional provision wns tho Phil
ippine freo trade provision.
While not changing the purpott of
the Phlllpplno section, tho commit
teo's roport Included a now drntt of
Ihls provision, by which its successful
operation will he assured. It had
been suggested that tho provision for
the free entry of 300,000 tons o'r sugar
und 300,000 pounds of tobacco would
permit the Importation unacr theso
limitations of products from nelghboi
lug Islands through their importation
into tho Philippines. This danger has
bcen.ollinlnated by ranking these prod
ucts dutiablo when Imported Into tho
Philippines.
-"" Changes were mado In tho cotton
and 'wool schedules of intorest largely
'to -the manufacturers of cotton and
v.
woolen cloths. Tho action of the
finance committee In maintaining tho
high rates of duty which It placed on
tops at the time tho Dlng'ey bill was
under consideration, and which now
stands In tho present law, will un
doubtedly reopen tho controversy on
the wool schedule.
By restoring tho Dlngloy rates on
barley nnd barley malt, and by reduc
ing tho taxation on tho breakfast table
by cutting down tho duties on coffoa
substitutes and placing cocoa on the
freo list, tho senate amendments to
tho Payne bill prosent n bid r - pop
ular favor. Tho numerous Incronsoa
In the agricultural schedule, Intended
for tho protection of tho Amorlcan
farmor and provided for among tho
amendments largely through the ef
forts of Senator McCumber, a now
inqmber of tho committco from tho
west, were finmed with a view to
gaining favorable criticism.
House Wants Petroleum on Free List.
The house was In session two hours
and fifteen minutes. The first action
taken was the adoption of a resolution
calling upon the senate for a return
of the Payne tariff bill next Thursday
n order that It might bo corrected so
ts to Include products of petroleum In
tho free list. During the confusion
Incident to tho passage or tho hill
Friday last It was believed that this
provision was embodied In It, but it
developed that such was not tho case,
although it clearly was the Intention
to inoludo these products along with
crude and refined petroToutn. The
house especially authorized Jts enroll
Ing clerk to make tho correction, and
he can make the change within a few
minutes. It will therefore cause, iu
delay In tariff legislation. It is under
stood the senate will not object to
such return of the measure,
NO CRIME TO FORM OIL TflUST
Attorney Watson Asserts John D. Vio
lated No Law.
David T. Watson, Pittsburg's most
noted corpotatlou lawyer, concluded
his nrguinnt upon tho law from tho
viewpoint of the defense in tho suit
instituted by tho government in thu
federal tribunal of tho St. Louis dis
trict to have tho Standard Oil com
pany of Now Jersey dissolved aB a per
sistent violator of the Sherman anti
trust net.
Again and again the Pittsburg lav;
yer emphasized his first legal propo
sition, that it mattered not what the
defendants might have done In former
days the only question for the court,
from his viewpoint, was whether tho
Standard Oil was engngod In restrain
ing commerce and engaging In unfair
competition on Nov. 15, 1906, when
the 1)111 of complaint was tiled against
11.
Mr. Wntson also took Issue with
Prosecutor Kellogg's ott-repeated con
tention that tho men fo, Mug tho
Stnndard were Hahlo and guilty as
alleged under tho fcdeVal common Inw.
"Thoro is not today and never was a
crime posslblo under tho redernl com
mon law," declared Mr. Watson. "Nor
is there In nil this great mnss of tes
timony a single sentence of evidence
to provo that tho defendants wore
guilty of a violation of any provisions
of the Shermnn net on Nov. 15, 1900,
and that, I contend, Is tho only propo
sition before this honorable court for
rovlow,"
