understanding that the same patriotism

Washington. June 9.-The Senate
has been scene of tariff speeceses to-
day and as a result little progress was
made on the bill Mr.. Rawlins, OF
Utah. and Mr.. Mills, Of Texas, discuss
ed the Democratic attitude on the tariff
from their respective standpoints. Mr..
Rawlins was member of the platform
committee OF the Chicago convention
and proposed the tariff plank which was
adopted. He held that Sne vote he and
several other Democratic Senators had
cast fer duties on cotton and other ag-
ricu,tural products was justified by that
platform and by the traditions of the
marty. Mr.. Mills severely arraigned the
hill as a class measure designed to build
IN a vast fund for distribution among
the benefciaries of the bill and at the
expense of the forgotten man, the
taxpayer. He indirectly criticised
those Democratic Senators who voted
for the amendments to the bill putting
2 tax on cotton and other articles con-
tending that their course was radical
deparure from the tenets of Democ-
racv. Later in the day Mr. Cannon, OF
Utah. proposed an amendment placing
an export bounty on agricultural pro-
ducts. He spoke for two hours on the
need of giving the farmer share OF the
benefits of the tariff. Mr.. Butler, OF
North Carolina. also spoke in favor oil
giving the farmer equal benefits with
other classes under the bill. Only half
a mage of the bill, covering four brief
and comparatively unimportant para
araphs. 1929 to 233), was disposed OF
during the day. The session Will pegln
at II a. m. tomorrow.
WILL RESCIND THEIR ACTION.
The Republican members of the
finance committee will withdraw the
amendments for an additional tax on
beor and for the duty of 10 cents
pound on tea. In explanation of this,
a member of the finance committee said
that the pressure for the withdrawal
of these amendments has been very
great and that many Republican Sena-
tors have made decided stands against
them. The formal action of the COM
mittee on the subject has not been
taken. but the determination has been
reached The members of the commit
tee are still in doubt as to what shall
he done with increases on tobacco IN
the internal revenue part of the bill,
but there has been great pressure 10
have these taxes reduced.
