WILSON BOSSES THE JOB
President Dictates Changes In Rates
Of Tariff Measure

WASHINGTON, April 5.- Montana
sen ators conferred with President
Wilson today on the sugar, wool and
metal schedules. Senator Myers told
the president that he would stay with
his party on the tariff and gave assur-
ance that if bill, as passed by the
house, meets with executive approval
he for one will give that bill his sup.
port.
The president talked tariff with the
Montana sen ators for some little time,
particularly discussing the sugar and
wool schedules, and to them he reiter-
ated his views and gave reasons for
the stand he has taken in the m after OF
sugar. President Wilson said he
favored reduction of duty on raw
sugar for sl.90 per hundred pounds to
sl.00 per hundred pounds, with the
proviso that after three years sugar
shall 60 on the free list. He said he
was personally satisfied that free
sugar would work no injury to the
beet sugar industry in the western
states: that ne had gone quite thor
oughly into this question and believed
that the beet sugar industry ia now on
such q firm basis that it will continue,
though the profits of those eng aged be
reduced.
Speaking collectively OF sugar and
wool, President Wilson said that he
did not anticipate that placing these
commodities on the free list would
bring about immediate reduction In
price to consumers; but it will increase
importations, stimulate competition in
this country and, along with the anti
trust law, render it easier for his sd.
ministration to wrestle with the trust
problem, and ultim ately the consumers
will benefit substsntially through low
er prices.

dent that although his constituents
could stand tariff cut, they believed
that the sugar industry of Louisa ana
would be destroyed by the complete
removal Of the duty. The president

any business, but he hoped that with
