MINORITY REPORT
HITS PAYNE BILL
AS INCONSISTENT

Washington. March 23.-That the
Payne tariff bill will increase the cost
of living; that It is cruie, indefinite,
sectional and prohibitive, and that ii
Is an open challenge TO a trade war
with every. other nation on earth, are
some of the criticisms of that meas
ure made by the Democratic mem
beers of the ways and means commit
tee in the minority report submitted
to the house by Minority Leader
Champ Clark.
The report is a severe arraignment
of the revision which the Payne bill
proposes. The counteryailing duty
provisions for coffee and petroleum,
the maximum and minimum features.
the Cuban reciprocity clauses; the
wooden, glass, agricultural and sugar
schedules are bitterly attacked.
There are many changes-for the
most part minor changes" says the
report, "of the Dingley rates, some
up and some down. Most OF the
changes in a downward direction are
reductions more apparent than real.
the Payne rates being as prohibitive
in their results in many cases as the
Dingley rates.
eve are most heartily in favor of
such maximum and minimum tariff
as will enable our government to ne
gotiate tariff arrangements by max
ing concessions to other governments
by reducing the rates of our statute
when such other countries win make
valuable concessions to us;
the maximum rates should be the
rates of our statutes, whatever they
are, and the minimum a reasonable
rate below our statutory rates; but.
as II stands. the maximum and mini
mum tariff plan of the Payne bin is
an open challenge TO trade war
with every other nation ON earth. It
is seeking trade with a club or meat
ak. We are opposed TO such an I'M
wise and unnecessary performance.
"The Standard Oil company is as
cared for in the Payne
bill as in the Dingley BILL" the re-
port continues, land by reason Of the
provision in paragraph 637, popu-
larly known as the joker continues
TO be protected hw tariff duty of 80
per cent. which enables Ii to domi-
nate and exploit the American mar
ket and 10 levy tribute upon the pub
lie, thereby piling up millions of dol
lars of ill-gotten gains"
The report further contends that a
similar cocker" in the paragraph pro
viding for the free entry OF coffee,
places a duty on coffee equal to the
export duty imposed by the country
from which il is imported and that
the consumer must pay both the ex-
pogt duty of the other country and
the import duty OF the United States.
The tax on tea Is also attacked the
Cain being made that the $1,000
900 which Il is proposed to raise by
Imposing duty on tea. represents
the amount by wh.eh the cost Of lly-
ing will be increased by this tax
