Washington, July s.-Whcn Senator
Aldrich moved for an agreement by the
Senate upon all paragraphs OF the Sen
ate bin, which senators did not care to
reserve for further amendment, there
was a widespread movement to reserve
parts Of the bill, against which senators
desired 10 make last stand for q
change in the schedules.
1t was explained that on adoption Of
a motion to agree any paragraph not
specifically reserved al this time would
be placed beyond possibility Of amend
ment, although the entire measure would
still be open for amendments not Affect
ing paragraphs agreed to.
Senator Bailey reserved the corpora
ticr tax amendment, while Mr.. Brown
reserved the print paper schedule,
Senator Bristow insisted upon the en-
tire sugar schedule remaining open for
amendment The Philippine tariff was
served upon suggestion Of both Senators
Hughes and Newlands, together with the
plan for customs court OF appeals and
countervailing duties Notice was given
OF another income tax amendment to be
voted on as a new section.
Senator Daniel desired that all refer
ences to tobacco be reserved, while Mr.,
Clapp made the same request respect
ing the creation Of tariff commission.
There were also many other reservations.
- when 1t looked as if a vote would
Immediately be taken on the unreserved
paragraphs as a whole, Mr.. LaFollette
objected and ii looked for time as II
he might prove TO be a formidable OBJ
stacIe in Mr. Aldrichs pathway. Say
ing that he had had no opportunity 70
inspect the reprint Of the bill, as acted
upon by the Senate in committee Of the
whole, he intimated that he would not
respect the supposed unanimous consent
unless he could be assured Of an oppor-
tunity to pYesent such amendments as
he might desire TO introduce.
The Wisconsin senator said he had no
desire to hinder the progress Of the bill,
but added that If he could not receive
the assurance he desired he might be
called upon to reserve all Of the para
graphs Of the bill until he could select
the paragraphs he desired to amend
Replying to the suggestion made by
Mr.. LaFoIlette that he had not seen the
bill until yesterday morning, Mr.. AL
Erich stated that a copy Of the measure
had been put in the hands Of the Wis
consin senator's secretary as early as
five o'clock the night before. He then
stated that the Senate was under the
necessity of proceeding with the bill and
getting through with it There has" be
said, got to be an end to the discussion
some time and vote taken"
tThe senator does not have to make
that suggestion to me- responded Mr..
LaFolette. II understand the situation
as well as he does"
Mr.. LaFollette reluctantly yielded,
saying that be would desist from hold
ing up the entire bill while he could se-
lect the provisions which be desired to
amend.
Mr.. Aldrich's request for vote on the
unreserved paragraphs was then granted
and the amendments were adopted en-
bloc, without division.
Immediately, there were various I'M
successful attempts to make changes in
certain schedules.
Passing along rapidly, all committee
amendments in the schedule relating to
chemicals, earthenware, metals, lumber,
agricultural products, spirits, cotton,
fax, wool, silks and paper and wood
pulp were agreed to BY the Senate. Mr..
