The Ogden standard. [volume] (Ogden City, Utah) 1902-1910, 1909-03-18

entiTe Blk DAYS were devoted TO the
first schedules, dealing with chemicals
and drugs, they found very little op-
portunity to make effective sugges-
tions. The Democrats probably will
resist such rule for considering tho
present bill.
Whether there will be any rule reg
ulating the consideration OF the Payne
bill remains TO be seen. 1t is Mr.
Payne's purpose TO begin the general
debate before asking to have a rule
brought In. and whether any would be
ordered probably will depend ON cir
cumstanceS. He expects also TO give
somewhat more time for the consider
alton OF the bill than was given TO the
Dlngley measure. 1t is recalled that
the debate on the DiDglcy bill was be-
gun on March %, IL years ago. the
same day of the same month on which
the general discussion of the Payne
bill begins. On the former occasion
all discussion ended and a vote was
taken on March 81 Under present
conditions. Mr.. Payne thinks it would
Dc desirable TO give more time but
he declines TO say how much more.
Senator Aldrich, chairman OF the
senate committee on finance. which
will deal with the bill In the senate.
announced that he would call meet
Ing OF the Republican members of the
committee for tomorrow with the idea
OF covering the house measure imme-
diatcly.
The finance committee suffered from
the death OF the recent election and
as consequence the Republican mem
bership numbers only four senator's.
They are Messrs. Aldrich Of Rhode
Island, Burrows Of Michigan, Penrose
OF Pennsylvania and Hale of Maine.
Mr., Aldrich says, however, that they
can take up the bill as a substitute
committee. AS soon as the Republi-
can vacancies are filed the new mem
bers will be invited in and considera-
tion of the measure Will proceed.
Mr.. Aldrich declared he had not
looked at the house bill, and declined
to comment upon it. II is known, how
ever, that many senator's seriously OBJ
ject to the changes from the present
law and hope is expressed the bill will
be amended before 1t leaves the SEN
ate. Senator Hale, chairman OF the
Republican caucns. is among those
who find the bill Objectionable.
1T absolutely murders the wood
pulp and paper Industry of Maine," he
said This Is the most important
industry In our state, and we shall re-
sist the change with the utmost pos
sible yigor."
Mr Hale predicted that the bill
would be before congress for the next
three months or more.
The committee on finance will not
grant any hearings. but will consider
any written or printed statements
which may be presented TO 1t,
II Is probable that when the house
begins the debate on the bill. the hours
of the session will be extended. The
sittings will probably begin at 10 In
the morning and continue until 10 or
ii o'clock at night.
One of the most significant features
of the Payne bill is the new draw
back provision 1t extends this priv
ilege so that an Aemrican manufac-
turer need not use the material
which he has imported In order 10
secure the refund OF the duties which
he has paid on his material. IL he
uses materials produced in this coun-
try in equal amount with the material
he has imported. he would be entitled
To drawback benefits. provided the
democratic materials OF the equal
productive manufacture quality and
value.
The legal deduction OF l per cent
hut
expectation upon which the manufac-
turer proposes TO collect the drawback
must be made within three years al
ter the importation of the foreign ma
terial used or checked against him.
The secretary OF the treasury Is au-
thorlZcd TO prescribe the regulations
under which the drawback is paid.
The privileges of the drawback sec
ton are applied TO materials used IN
the construction and equipment ot YES
sells built for a foreign government or
foreign trade.
