MAY LIMIT DEBATE
Senate Finance Committee to
Set Time on Tariff Bills.
WILL MEET TOMORROW
Republicans and Democrats Nav
Agree to Dispose of Measures
at an Early Date.

The tariff situation in the Senate will
probably be clarified materially as a re-
suit OF meeting Of the Senate finance
committee which Senator Penrose has
called for tomorrow morning. There will
pc an exchange Of ideas between repub-
ncans and democrats as to the length of
time desired for debate on the four tariff
bills that are now pending-steeI, chem
ical, sugar and woodland strong efforts
will be made to reach an agreement for
the disposition of the measures at an
early date.
Both the steel and chemical bills, Of
the four passed by the democratic
House. have been disposed of as far as
the committee is concerned. The repub-
lican majority has made an adverse COM
mittee report on both; the democratic
minority has filed a minority report urg-
ing the passage of the two bills as they
came from the House.
Disagree on Two Bills.
The committee has still to act on the
sugar and wool bills. and upon them
there is a split among the republican
regulars. On the sugar bill Senator
Lodge has proposed that the differentials
and Dutch standard OF the present tariff
law be eliminated, and that the rates of
duty be cleft as they are, and Senator
Smoot has proposed a. lowering of the
rates of duty. The majority of the reg
ulars are inclined to support the Lodge
plan, but Senator Smoot has been doing
some missionary work among senator's
outside of the finance committee and be-
lieves his bill will have an excellent
chance to pass the Senate.
Upon a wool bill which is TO be q SUBJ
stitute for the democratic House bill
there Is not yet a general agreement
among the republican regulars. Senator

Foresee House Steel Bill.

Predictions that the House democratic

through the absence when the vote is
taken. Of the republican regulars, were
being made around the Capitol today.
The democrats will adhere to the House
bill and the republican insurgents are
lining up for the Cumnnins' substitute,
with it's rates generally between those of
the House bill and Of the present law.
If only few of the regulars vote upon
the question Of adopting the House bill,
the democrats will be In the majority and
the insurgents and the few regulars on
the republican side in the minority.
In favor Of this course, it is argued
by the regulars that It would put a demo-
cratic tariff bill up to President Taft
and thus make it easy for him to veto it.
Several prominent republicans were to-
day urging bills for the revision of the
wool and cotton schedules in accordance
with the report of the tarii board Be-
cause Of the arguments which republi-
cans have been making against tariff re-
vision without investigation and report
by the tariff board it is argued that 1t
would be fatal for the republican cam
paign in the next election not to pass or
at least attempt to pass bills revising
the two schedules which the tarin board
has reported on. Thus will be proved,
it Is claimed, the sincerity of the repub-
licans in their promises to follow up the
tariff boards. reports OF facts by tariff
revision measures.
