WASHINGTON, April 1o.-The Payne

fr-ofn the. committee on finance not later
than next Tuesday
The ntricacies of the bill as II
passed the House yesterday, and the
complications which may result from
its. enactment into law, are illustrated
by TIE hides and leather schedules In
connection with the maximum and
minimum provisions of the new bill a
peculiar situation is presented.
The bill places hides on the free list,
with retaliatory provision for duty

give the United States the benefit Of

duty on sole leather, as now IN the

maximum duty provided for sole
leather is 20 per cent. of the duty IN
addition which makes it per cent.

inequality between the maximum duties
on hides and sole leather is so great
that it will seriously affect the Amer

for instance, would find it to its ad-
vantage to have the maximum rates
of duty in the Payne bill apply against
IT'S products in order to encourage Its
tanning industry. While its hides
would not find as large a market on
account of the 20 per cent. duty, fac-
tories for tanning the hides and export
ing the sole leather to the United States
would have an advantage over tne
American manufacturers, whose nides
would cost more on account OF the
