II do not consider the Senate bill as

ana shall not support Il at any stage OF
It's progress. In my judgment II does not
reduce the burdens Of the people. al
though there is a reduction Of the rates
generally throughout the schedules. The
tax on articles taken from the free list
more than overbalances the reductions
on The other schedules. Should there be
any reduction in the burdens Of the peo-

Tor the injury TO the public and private

responsibility has always rested upon
them. The time and the method of the

me that the Administration and the
