In Effort to Dispose Of
Tariff Question.
No TIME FOR OUlBBLlNG.
Growers of Domestic Sugar MAY Get
Bounty Under Existing Law.

WASHINGTON, July THE president is
consulting daily with Democratic leaders
IN the house and is cheering and en-
touraRing them with his advice. Since
The tariff bill passed the senate he has
had conferences with several prom inent
me IN bers, and has impressed them all
with his desire 20 see the house prevail In
the coming struggle.
In convrrsation with q friend recently
the president alluded to the question OF
tariff legisl ton He remarked that be
has abstsined from Interfering with the
bill while IL was pending In the senate.
The measure WAS not altogether satisfsc-
tory and not such a one AS he would have
framed. He did not think there was suf-
hcient time at the present session TO make
any serious contention over IL Hut under
the circurDsta nces he thought the house
would be just flel ia accer fux the meas
ure with some modiAcatio ~ ia order that
speedy action may be hAu regarding this
most important measure.
The attitude of the president and the
| administration concerning this matter
will have, 1t is believed, much influence,
not only with the members OF the ways
and means committee, but with the
friends of the administration In both
houses In settl ng and adjusting this I'M
portsnt question.

Conversation with mem bers of the
ways aud means com nit:es leads to the
opinion that the mem hers will be recon-
cilsd without much difficulty TO the SEN
ate amendments To the income tax as
most of them a,e calculated to remove
offensive features
The main contest will be on the sugar
schedule, To which the opposition In the
house is very decided and strong numeri-
oally. That some change will be made In
the schedule In certain. bat the belief IL
general that the duty will be retained.
The senate conierrees will make an effort
to include bounty allowances on the COM
ing crop That allowance was inclu led
In the senate caucus agreement and was
abandoned at the last hour for the reason
that II was desired to dispose of the bill
on Tu sday last
There seems to be an understanding
among Democratic senators that the
bounty allowance will be arranged In
conference In q manner that will be ao-
ceptable TO the sugar growers The quss-
ton has been raised whether the growers
OF domestic sugar are not entitled to q
bounty under the existing law. II is pro
vided that producers OF such sugar, 10 be
entitled 70 bounty, shall die, prior to
July of each year. with the COM
missioner Of internal revenue. ap-
plioation for license. together
with notice OF the place of produ ction
