Trouble Over the DinsIey Biz Promises
to Be Repeated When New

WASHINGTON, d. c. July 80
Surprising the Payne Aldrich tariff

signed by the president. when does it
actually become effsctive-on ard af-
ter the minute the president aftixes to
it his signature. or when notice of that
fact is given to both houses Of con-
gress?
That query appears, on its face, to
be of small CONSEQUENCE in the long
run but, as a matter of fact, there is
likely to be considerable litigation over
it before the answer is finally given.
Cne way or another, the reply is
bound to mean at least thousands of
dollars in or out Of the pockets of the
importers

be signed by President Taft declares

many importers: big shipments of
goods might have arrived few min
utes after the law was signed, the du-
ties on which We're increased by the
new law. A shipment might escape APP

minutes.
The question was not settled until
after endless litigation and the bring
