New York World Charges.
The New York World today has
an editorial claiming that while the
drawback is of immense benefit to
the Minneapolis millers it will
increase the price of -four to all con-
sumers and make -four more expen-
sive in the United States than in any
other country. The ground of the
Worlds editorial is the assumption
that portions of the product of draw
back grinding will be sold to domes-
tic consumers.
1t is we'll known that all of this
product is for export. refer to
this editorial to show that there is
considerable confusion in the public
mind as to what the Minneapolis
millers are to get under the draw
back regulation. This question evil
IDENTIFY extends through North
Dakota and explains Senator Hans
brough's proposed amendment to
the sundry civil bill.
Hansbraugh Opposition.
Senator Hansbraugh's proposed
amendment to the sundry bill aimed
at the wheat drawback, is the put
growth of action by the North
Dakota congressman and several
commercial and industrial associa-
tions in that state which strongly
oppose extension of the drawback
principle to wheat, claimingit would
operate against the wheat farmers.
The effect of the Hansbraugh
amendment, If adopted would be TO
suspend this drawback on mixed
wheat and all other commodities and
thus curtail the export trade of
many million dollars annually.
In 1908 the government paid
drawbacks under the mixing pro-
visions amounting to about % ,OOO,-
600, and that sum represented many
more millions of exports. The trade
is in leather goods, steel and iron,
lead and various other articles, and
has assumed such proportions shat
TO interfere with il as Hansbrough
proposes, would be to create a finan-
cial and industrial collapse in many
sections of the country. 1t is not
possible that congress will agree
with Hansbrough in this matter.
His resolution il note worthy mainly
because il marks his desire to reflect
the sentiment of his state on this
question.
The Hansbrough amendment has
been referred to the committee on
appropriations. and when it comes
up there, Hansbraugh will appear
for argument. In support Of his
amendment he will argue that the
farmers of the DINGHY act never
intended the drawback provision to
apply to wheat.
II New Drawback Bill.
Representative Loving, of Massa-
chusetts, today introduced a bill "to
amend the customs drawback law
and encourage trade in -four manu-
factured by American mills" 1t pro-
vides that in lieu Of payment of the
duties on imported wheat, there
n
may deposited in bonded warehouses
or bonded cars and vessels, -four
equal in weight to the imported
wheat, and of the same quality as
the -four which could be manufac-
tured from the wheat, thus released
from the payment of duties. It is
provided further that the -four shall
be removed from such bonded recep-
tacals except for the export fee of
duties. or for domestic consumption
upon payment of duty.
