LAFOLLETTE WOOL
BILL WINS OUT


coalition between the progressives
and the democrats the senate this af-
ternoon adopted, by vote of As to
80, the LaFollette substitute for the
wool tariff revision bill.
LaFollette's amendment was pass
ed after another bill, urged by Con-
gressman Underwood, leader Of the
house democrats, had been rejected.
Its winning was in the nature of q
surprise but the republican majority
evidently believing that wool revis-
ion was sure to come, preferred to
adopt the LaFollette plan rather than
that of Underwood, which slashed
the Payne duties to far greater ex-
tent.
\ 1t was believed this afternoon that
the action will put up to the presi-
dent the most perplexing dilemma of
his administration by his being fore
ed to choose between a revision of
the wool schedule adopted by the
democrats and his progressive oppon-
ents, and the question of voting bill
reducing duties in the schedule he
himself declared to be ''indefensi-
ble."
The bill now goes to conference
with the house, where 1t is consider
ed probable that an agreement will
be reached between the conference
and the measure will be put up to the
president.
Thirteen republicans voted with
the democrats on the LaFollette bill.
They are: Bourne, Bristow, Brown,
Clapp, Crawford. Cummins, Gronna,
Kenyon, LaFollette, McCumber, Mel
son, Poindexter and Works.
Declaring his measure a correct
i've for the alleged evils the Ameri-
can farmers will suffer under Presi-
dent Taft's reciprocity agreement,
Senator LaFollette today on the floor
of the senate said
"The present rates on wool are
recognized as grossly excessive.
These reductions, if adopted, will
compensate the farmers for the losses
they will suffer as the result of free
trade with Canada in agricultural
products"
\ LaFollette said his amendment
would average in reductions about
81 per cent under the wool duties
Of the Payne law. The Underwood
bill reduces the duties about "A per
cent. LaFollette declared his amend
ments would cause the loss of about
100000 of revenue annually, but
that this probably would be partly
made up by the increased importa-
tions.
THE proposed rates." the Wiscon-
sin senator said, will simplify the
phraseology of the schedules; they
will automatically eliminate whatev-
er fraud exists In the compensatory
duty; they will abolish discrfmIna-
tion against the poor mans cloth, and
in favor of that worn by the rich man
and they will leave ample protection
for the woolgrower and manufacturer
without leaving the consumer COM
pletely at the latters mercy"
Payne laws Tops 90 per cent;
yarns, 1870 per cent; carpets, so per
cent; wool manufactures, 80 per
cent
Underwood, Tops, 25 per cent;
yarns, 80 per cent; carpets, 25 to so
per cent; wool manufactures, 80 to
As per cent.
The standpatters are very sore ov-
er LaFollette's coup. Senator Pen
rose, chairman of the finance com
mittee, probably will be one OF the
conferees whit he house. He declar-
ed that the regulars would refuse TO
be parties to the conference.
