Lower Sugar Bill
Passed in Senate
Washington, D. c., July ga Re-
publican sugar tariff bill, the first
purely Republican revision measure
of the present Congress-, was adopted
in the SenateIto-day. DESERVING their
allies of the last two days, the Repub-
lican progressives, by an ironclad
agreement with the regulars, Sue
ceeded in passing a tariff reduction
bill, which they believe President
Taft will sign, if it reaches him.
The sugar bill was a compromise
between the Lodge plan, Endorsed by
the regular Republicans, and the
Bristow bill, behind which the pro-
gressives lined up. 1t would cut the
present sugar duty Of $3.50 to $780,;
would abolish the Dutch standard,
under which virtually no refined SUI
gar can be imported; and would abol-
ish the 7 IL cent "refiners' differen-
tial, an additional duty on refined
sugar which, it is said, has accrued
directly to the profit Of the sugar re-
finers.
The Republicans played big politics
in the third and last days fight on
tariff measures. The regulars came
down from the $1.821-2 of the Lodge
bill, while the Progressives moved
upward from the $l.52 10 rate in the
original Bristow bill.
The compromise, which is only 7
1-2 cents above the lowest figures
named by the progressive, is consid-
cred a victory for Senator Bristow,
who has been the most active advo-
cate of sugar tariff reduction on the
Republican side of the Senate.
The Democratic free sugar bill
passed by the House of Representa-
tives did not come to a vote in the
Senate. The Bristow-Lodge amend
ment was first adopted in the COM
mittee of the whole by vote of 81 to
Is; Senators Thornton and Foster, of
Louisiana, Democrats, voting with
The Republicans.
The Senate Democrats then offered
heir substitute for the House bill
a one-third reduction in
he existing sugar tariff. This was
defeated, SO to "a, the Republican
'egulars and progressives holding to
heir agreement.
The Bristow-Lodge bill finally
passed the Senate with all but two
Democrats voting for it. The final
,ote was So to 8, the negative votes
,eing cast by Senators Hepburn (Rep.)
md Foster and Thornton Dems.).
The attitude of the Senate Demo-
rats in finally supporting the Repub-
lean bill is expected to have influence
With the Demicans of the House when
he amended bill goes back there.
