Washington, D. c., April o.
President Taft was informed today
of the senate program for the ad'
ministration Of the tariff bill.
1t provides that a minimum tarifl
shall apply to all countries for one
year. At the end of that time the
maximum rates will go into effect
against all countries, which in the
opinion Of the president, are not gov
ing the United ,tates their best tar
if rates.
The president is understood to ia
vor strongly this idea Of application
of the maximum and minimum prin-
ciple, and it is believed that It will
be the plan finally agreed upon. The
plan of administering the minimum
and maximum rates in the house as
lit ntow stands is said to be more
indefinite and less effective than the
one proposed by the senate finance
committee. Prior to the cabinet
meeting today President Taft had q

conference with Chairman of the SEN
ate finance committee and Secretary
of the Treasury MacVeagh. Senator
Aldrich assured the president that
the committee is making most sat
isfactory progress with the tariff bill
and said there would be little or NO
delay taking the matter up in the
senate after vote in the house.
The administrative features of the
senate bill were then taken up for
discussion, which will be resumed
at the White House next week. SEN
,ator Aldrich left for New York to-
day. The finance committee will not
meet in his absence.
There have been more or less ap-
parently authentic reports that the
majority of sentiment was opposed
to the minimum and maximum prin-
ciple as enunciated in the Payne bill.
President Taft has not shared this
belief, and today he received the
assurance as to the correctness Of

representatives Of the legal autaori-

riers was for the purpose; of drafting
practicable and just set of demur-
rage rules, which would later be sub
mitted to the National Association OF

american Railway association in the
hope that these rules would be
adopted by all the state commissions,
the interstate commerce commission

Several of those present expressed
themselves as confident that the con-

eventually lead to uniformity in such
rules and charges by all commits
