The tariff act Of 1909 was but little
short Of a crime; the bill passed today
Is not q Democratic measure, but Is a
protective measure. Give the Demo-
Gratis time and they will put everything
on free trade basis, but they have
not done It In this bill"
Senator Poindexter said Of his vote:
81 voted for the senate tariff bill
because 1t is as a whole better bill
than the Payne -Aldrich law now in
force. Furthermore, 1t contains an
income tax which we have been trying
to get for 20 years"

Senator Gallinger Of New Hampshire,
leader of the minority, congratulated
Senator Simmons ''for his courteous,
kindly and considerate manner" In

every way creditable to the majority
and eminently fair to the minority"

yielded a few minutes Of his time
to Senator Thornton Of Louisiana,
who was about to desert his colleagues

the party with which cast allegiance
46 years ago. It is harder still that
1 am forced to vote against It be-
cause my own party seeks now tc
strike vital blow against the great
sugar industry Of my state"
| The senator said he was charged
with a duty from his state higher
than any duty owed to the Demo
cratic party and voting against the
bill, he continued, was keeping his
pledge.
