TAIL SUGAR BILL $4,000, 600
PER YEAR
VOTE STOOD 81 TO 3
AFTER CONSIDERATION BY THE
HOUSE, BILL GOES TO
PRESIDENT.

Washington.-A Republican sugar
tariff bill, the first purely Republican
revision measure of the present Con
gress has been adopted in the Senate
Deserving their allies of the last few
days. the Republican Progressives. by
an iron clad agreement with the regu,
lars. succeeded in passing a tariff re-
duction bill which they believe Presi-
dent Taft will sign.
1t is estimated that the sugar tariff
reduction. il il becomes effective. will
reduce the governments custom re-
ceipts about S5.50O.OO0. while its saw
ing in the retail sugar bill of the nation
Is estimated at $20,O0O,OO0 per year.
The sugar bill was compromise be-
tween the Lodge plan endorsed by the
regular Republicans. and the Bristow
bill, behind which the Progressives
lined up. 1t would cut the present
sugar duty of s1.9O to $1.60; would
abolish the Dutch standard. under
which practically no refined sugar can
be imported. and would abolish the Ia
per cent. rcflner's d;fferential an
additional duty on profit of the refin-
ers.
The regular Republicans came down
from the $1.S2h duty of the Lodge
bill, while the Progresslves moved up
ward from the s152h rate in the
original Bristow bill The compro-
mise is only ~ cents above the low
est figures named by the Progress
ives.
The Democratic free sugar bill
passed by the House did not come to a
vote in the Senate.
The Bristow-Lodge amendment was
first adopted in committee of the
whole by vote of 81 to Is. Senators
Thornton and Foster of Louisiana,
Democrats, voting with the Republi-
cans
The Senate Democrats then Offered
their substitute for the House bill, pro
posing one-third reduction in the ex
listing sugar tariff. This was defeated
SO to "a, the Republican regulars and
progressives holding to their agree
ment The Bristow-Lodge amendment
finally passed the Senate with all but
two Democrats voting for it. The fina
vote was SO to 3, the negative vote;
being cast by Senators Hepburn. Re
publican, and Foster and Thornton
Democrats.
The attitude of the Senate Demo
Gratis in finally supporting the Repub
lican bill is expected to have influences
with the Democrats of the House
when the amended bill goes bacl
there.
An attempt to attach the Canadian
reciprocity repeal amendment to tn,
bill, made by Senator McCumber. wa
defeated, 81 to "a. This vote showe'
the purpose OF the Republicans to pre-
vent any change in the sugar bill tina
might mean it's defeat when 1t goe
back to the House.
The Senate bill would reduce tn
duty on Cuban sugar, which comes II
under the reciprocity treaty at $1.34
to about $l.20 per hundred pounds
The maximum reduction of duty on al
refined sugar is three-tenths of a cen
pound. The abolition of the Dutc
standard, it is understood, will max
possible more foreign competition il
cheap sugars. which have been shu
ont because they did not meet tn
color test.
