Henry ClewS Says Taft Will
Sign Senate Bill.
ANTICIPATES NO BIG CHANGES
New York Banker, Who Is said to
Represent Belief of Wall Street,
Asserts President VIII violate Pre-
election Pledges and Not Insist
on Revision Downward.

New York, July I0,-Henry Clews, mem
Der Of the banking firm OF Henry Clews
& Co., and a man who keeps his finger
on the national political pulse in so far
as finances are concerned. believes the
tariff bill as passed by the Senate will
be the one finally adopted, and that Presl-
dent Taft will attach his signature TO the
measure. in violation OF his prediction
pledges.
In his weekly stock review. issued to-
night. Clews says:
THE tariff problem VIII soon be out
Of the way. and no further important
changes are anticipated from the tariff
bill as passed by the Senate The work
Of the conference committee should not
extend beyond two weeks.
Depends Upon Taft.
After that everything depends upon
President Taft. Should ne fulfill his pre-
election promises and insist upon a down
ward revision, it is difficult to say how
he can escape vetOing ths present bill. II
he does. 1t is impossible 10 tell how much
further delay would ensue.
The prevailing belief, however. is that
he will sign the bin. II now looks as II
the corporation tax would be adopted.
Much as this is 10 be regretted, the
tax upon holding companies will be a
good feature, nasmuch as IL viii enforce
publicity regarding these mysteries and
afford better knowledge of their opera
tons"
Clews advises investors from buying

the New York market
Clews is believed 10 represent the Wall
street belief that Taft VIII not insist upon
the downward revision ohat he favored in
his campaign speeches. but will sign the
somewhat raised standard set by the
Senate in the event that the bill is I'm
ally adopted by the House and sent 70
him for his signature On Just what
Wall street bases this belief Is not known
