INTRODUCED IN HOUSE
Measure Agreed to by Demo.
Gratis Provides Vital
Reductions.

Democratic members Of the House ways
and means committee today directed
Chairman Underwood to introduce the
House at the extra session of Congress.
House metal tariff revision bill as
amended by the Senate.
Provides Vital Reductions.
The bill was later introduced by Chair
man Underwood. 1t provides for vital
reductions. The democrats claim that the
bill would reduce the average ad va
loren cotton duties to 27O8 per cent, as
against an ad valorem of 4715 per cent
in 1911 and 1912 in 1910. The full ways
and means committee will report the bill
favorably to the House early next week
The democrats estimated that the reve-
nues from the bill during the first year
Of its operation would be about $40. 800 coo
which compares with s13,oO00oO in 1910
and $12 100000 in 1911. On it's behalf
they claim the cost Of cotton clothing to

sion and vetoed by the President.
To Stand by Reciprocity.
The democrats of the committee dis
cuesed the Senate's Canadian reciprocity
repeal rider on the metal bill. While de-
ferring action until Monday. the consen-
sus of sentiment was that the House
would stand by the Canadian reciprocity
for which 1t has gone on record and
would disagree to the Senate amendment
for it's repeal The position taken was
that reciprocity meant lower duties and
that to vote for its repeal would stuItify
the party.
