partial plan of action agreed Hpon
among the Republican leaders of the
Senate three days tariff fight will
begin in that body. tomorrow. when
the Democratic wool tariff bin is TAX
en- up for amendment and passage
Before the end of Saturdays session,
the Senate will have acted upon the
wool tariff, the sugar tariff and the
excise bill which would extend the
present corporation tax to business
done by individuals and co-partner-
ships.
Both the Republican and the DEM
ocratic forces were divided, tonight.
over the embarrassing questions pre-
scented by the tariff program. The
break in the Republican ranks came
as the result of the introduction, to-
day, by Senator Cummins of SUD
stitute wooden tariff bill based upon
the figures given sby the Tariff Board
in its report on the wooden industry.
The action of Senator Cummins was
not in accord with the understanding
regular Republicans had of the plan
to be followed, tomorrow. Leading
Republican members of the finance
ence, tonight. to determine whether
third bill, representing their views,
should be introduced. tomorrow. sNo
agreement was reached. The Demo-
cratic leaders called a party caucus
to meet, Friday. The purpose of the
caucus, it is understood. is to adjust
conflicting views on the sugar tariff
and attempt to meet the views OF
Democrats who object TO the free
sugar bill passed by the House.
Senator Borah, today. introduced as
substitute for the excise tax bill an in
come tax law. 1t is the same measure he
offered when the Payne-Aldrich tariff
was under discussion and which was then
defeated. Senator Clapp also offered an
amendment to the excise bill. to strike
out of the present corporation tax law
the provision exempting corporations
from paying tax on incomes derived
from other corporations that had already
been taxed.
A Canadian reciprocity and wood pulp
tariff amendment will be offered by
Senator Gronna of North Dakota. 1t
provides for the repeal of the Canadian
reciprocity law and for reduction by
one-half of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law
rates on wood pulp and print paper.
No apparent progress was made. to-
day, in the effort to secure an agree
ment among Republicans on bill to
reduce the sugar tariff.
