DELAYS ACTION ON
TARIFF REDUCTION
Presidents Attitude to Wool
Bill Doubtful, in Opinion
of Experts.

Bets are about even now whether the
country is going to get any actual tariff
legislation out Of this session of Con-
gress.
The opinion is growing that the Presi-
dent will sign a wool bill II a compro-
mise measure is put up to him. He will
sign sugar bill IL one like the meas
ure passed by the Senate yesterday aft
ernoon is put UP to him.
That some Of the strongest members
Of the Presidents Cabinet are convinced
he ought to Sign a wool bill is known
They believe that for political reasons
he ought not, In the midst of Presi-
Dental campaign, fail to avail himself
Of the opportunity offered to get himself
out Of the hole in which he thrust HIM
self when he vetoed the wool bill Of
1911.
Wool Veto Predicted.
On the other hand. the confident pre-
diction Of high tariff leaders about the
Senate is that the President will veto
the wool bill.
The most rapid progress in the direc-
ton OF actual tariff legislation has been
made in the Senate in the last three
days. Yesterday afternoon. as predict
ed, combination Of regular and insur-
gent Republicans passed sugar bill
This action followed on the heels of
the passage of the wool bill Thursday
night and the excise bill Friday night.
While the excise measure is not tariff
measure. 1t Is a revenue measure Of
hrst Importance, and because of its
effect on the revenue has close relation
to the tartn. Moreover, the amendment
TO repeal Canadian reciprocity was
hitched to the excise measure.
Sugar Duty Reduced.
The sugar bill. as passed, was the
Lodge bill modified by an amendment
by Senator Bristow. 1t cuts the duty
from H.90 to S1.60. abolishes the differen-
tial between raw and refined, and does
away with the Dutch standard out of
which the refiners waxed fat. The Lodge
bill at first made no change in duty and
then was altered to provide for a duty
Of H.70 per hundred pounds, but the
Republican insurgents would not stand
for this and 1t was reduced to H.60.
This substitute was adopted by a vote
Of 81 to 5, the regular and insurgent
Republicans uniting. The bill was final
ly passed, however, by vote OF SO to 8.
