One of the biggest viotoriae ,,-o,. -.
the house was in the restoration TO the
dutlable list of burlaps, jute and info
bagg1ng, cotton bagging, gunny sacks
moor mating and cotton ties which
the senate placed on the free list. While
restored to the dutiable list. however
the rates are lower than they have ever
been on this class of articles. Another
victory or the house was the elimina-
ton OF the senate stamp tax on bonds
and stocks. 1t was decided that the
machinery of collection was too cum
bersome.
:. Raw cotton is restored to the free
list as originally fixed by the house.
The senate, with the aid of some of
the Democratic senator's, made cotton
dutiable at 20 per cent.
The amendments as agreed upon will
go to the printer tomorrow, and the
completed bill will be laid before the
Democrats Monday morning. Assur-
=
Democrats on the conference that there
Will be no attempt to delay the report
when the full committee meets. But it
is possible that the Democrats may ask
more time than the Republicans now
anticipate. The Republicans believe
that the report can be made to the
house early Monday afternoon, and if
the present intentions of the house
leaders are carried out the report will
have been acted upon before the house
adjourns on Monday.
Gov. Dingley expresses the opinion
that the bill will be a law, and that
congress will have adjourned a week
from today. The conferees are gener-
ally congratulating themselves upon
the result of their work and the expe-
dition with which it has been accom-
plished.
The Democratic conferees are by no
means pleased with the transfer OF
such items as cotton bagging, burlaps,
floor mating, etc, from the free to the
dutiable list, and express the hope to-
night that they may be able to reverse
the conference committee on these arti-
cles. They claim to have the pledges
of the Republicans who assisted in
making these articles free and in re-
ducing white pine, that they will assist
in their restoration to the free list,
even to the extent of opposing the re-
port The Republicans, however, pro-
fess to feel easy over the fate of the re-
port, and say that the worst feature is
delay occasioned by long debate.
