Washington-A Republican sugar
tariff bill, the first purely Republican
revision measure of the present Con-
grcss, 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 tariff re-
duction bill which they believe Presi-
dent Taft will sign.
1t is estimated that the sugar tariff
reduction, if it 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 s20.0OO.0O0 per year.
The sugar bill was a compromise be-
tween the Lodge plan endorsed by the
regular Republicans. and the BristOw
bill, behind which the Progressives
lined up. II would cut the present
sugar duty of s1.90 to $1.60; would
abolish the Dutrn standard. under
which practically no refined sugar can
be imported, and would abolish the 7a
per cent. refiner's differential, 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 Progressives moved up
ward from the sl.52h rate in the
original Brlstow 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
vote in the Senate.
The Bristow-Lodge amendment was
first adopted in committee of the
whole by vote of 81 to 25, 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 a one-third reduction in the ex
listing sugar tariff. This was defeated
SO to "a, the Republican regulars and
holding to their agree
ment. The Bristow-Lodge amendment
finally passed the Senate with all hui
two Democrats voting for it, The fina
vote was so to 8, the negative votes
being cast by Senators Hepburn. Re
publican, and Foster and Thornton
Democrats.
The attitude of the Senate Demo
Gratis in finally supporting the RepuD
lican bill is expected to have Influence
with the Democrats of the House
when the amended bill goes back
there.
An attempt to attach the Canadian
reciprocity repeal amendment to the
bill, made by Senator McCumber, was
defeated. 81 to "a. This vote showed
the purpose of the Republicans to pre-
vent any change in the sugar bill that
might mean its defeat when it goes
back to the House.
The Senate bill would reduce the
duty on Cuban sugar, which comes ir
under the reciprocity treaty at s1.3i
to about s1.20 per hundred pounds
The maximum reduction of duty on al
refined sugar is three-tenths of a cent
a pound. The abolition of the Dutch
standard, 1t is understood. will make
possible more foreign competition III
cheap sugars, which have been shut
out because they did not meet the
color test.
