Washington. Dec. During the aft
ernoon Senator Spooner called at the
war department and talked with Sec
rotary Root about the legislative neces-
sites Of the Philippines. 1t appears
that the problem presented IS net as
easy as was supposed when il was
thought a simple joint resolution could
BE- put through congress within a few
days 20 continue practically eXacting
tariff rates as TO Philippine exports
and imports. Some members of the
ways and means committee see diff
cuiues growing out of the existence OF
an export tax in the islands, and there
is much apprehension that The issue
may be made party one, with the re-
suit that there viii be bite strUg-
sic, at least in the senate. if no, in the
house, before satisfactory legislation
can be had. It is the expectation. how
ever that after hearing from all the
leaders, Secretary Root win be able to
perfect plan of action by Tuesday,
when the house next meets.
1t is learned that in the course Of the
conference today Secretary Root took
advantage Of the opportunity to talk
ing needs of cuba. and to urge early
action on legislation along the line rec
ommended IN his annual report.
A movement is on foot among tie
Republican members of the ways and
means committee to Incorporate a reel
procity feature in the forthcoming
Philippine tariff bill As roughly out
lined in the informal talks thus far
had among members of the commit
tee. the reciprocity provision would re-
cite that when the Philippine commits
sioners reduce the duty on certain des-
isnated articles. il Guiding American
/ textiles and various goods easily mar
ketable in the Philippines. then the
president Of the United States should.
/ by proclamation. grant stated reduc-
tons of duty on Philippine sugar and
other products shipped to this country
| This reciprocity provision would be
| along the lines Of that provided in the
! Dingley act, whereby President Ne
| Kinley by proclamation made tariff re-
/ auctions in a limited number of arti-
! cles without the fOTmality Of q treaty
A reciprocity provision on the fore
going lines was discussed at the meet
/ ing Of Republican members of the COM
