IN EFFORT TO AGREE AS TO

Aidrich Will Make Thorough
Explanation or Bill as
Amended by Congress.

Washington, April 1.--For more
than four hours the Democrat mem
bors of the senate confer. ell today
in an effort to agree upon the policy
toward tariff legislation. At the end
of that time Culberson, min'r ty
leader, announced that the Demo,
Gratis had agreed to support the in
come tax amendment and to stand
for substantial reCuctiors in the
schedules and particularly for a de-
life. The conference was not bind
ing. Some senators present admit ed
frankly that they would ask for pro-
lection fer the industries Of Their
states. Stone spoke in favor of his
program for independence for the
Filipino after fifteen years aud ahso-
lrte free trade with the islands dur
ing that period Foster was oppo.ed
to free trade with any of the colonies,
Neither of these senators, it is ap-
parent, have obtained a majority Of
the Democrats for their proposition
had vote been .aKem
Only on one question was the con
ference agreed and that was the in
come tax amendment The confer
cnce adjourned until Friday.
While the Democrats were in s.
sion notices of a meeting of the
finance committee tomorrow were de-
livered to the minority members of
that committee In view of crti-
cisms made of the tariff bill as
amended by the finance comm. tie =
of the senate. particularly the OBJ
servatlon that the biz will not pro
ducesuffcient revenue for the coun-
try's need Senator Aldrich viii un-
lertake on Monday to satisfactorily
explain the revenue features of the
measure.
As the Democrats will ask that the
bill lay over until Monday, AldIieh
noes not intend to make a statement
tomorrow, of which ne has already
given notice, but will present a more
elaborate argument Monday than he
had intended 1t will be pointed out
that the estimate of revenues to be
derived from the operation of the
Payne bill made Ny the ways and
means committee falls short of the
actual possibilities of the measure
The senate committee en- finance
had the benefit of advice of the best
experts in the government service
and from the analysis which hey
made of the house bill they pre-
dicted that the revenue would have
been far greater under that measure
than was estimated.
These experts take the position
also that the bill as amended by the
senate will raise a great deal more
money than appears and Aldrich has
not changed his mind on the subject
that no additional internal taxes will
be required TO supply the government
expenses. The senate leaders have
taken the position that the govern
mental eXtravagances must ceas7.
Great dependence is placed by the
senate leaders in the work.
