House Committee to Pass on
Tentative Scheme of Hull and
His Associates - Raw
Wool Causes Trouble.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-President vii
con Let ~ ne known to-day that he has
not vet put his stamp Of approval on
the tariff hill left with him ny Repre-
sentative oscar w Underwood, the Dem
ocratic House leader, after a three hour
conference last night
The President indicated 10 his visitors
that he had only begun to study the
measure but that before the Democratic
caucus met TO decide whether they should
revise the tariff in a single bill or by
separate schedules he would make known
mis- own conclusions rs we'll as his opln-
ion Of the bill
The income tax problem and its 'ntri-
cate details also are being carefully CON
sidered by the President lie discussed II
IN a general way with Secretary McAdoo
Of the Treasury Department. Colonel h'
NJ. House. Of Austin, Tex. and Secretary
Tumulty. who were AT the White House
tonight
Mr.. Wilson also is giving some ateh-
,ion 10 the possibility Of getting cur
rencv measure before the extra sessio'
Of Congress, and it was said that inc con.
ference tonight touched this subject u
some extent.
A consensus Of sentiment TOT -
mated form Of income TAX as part ol q
single tariff revision measure TO oe PN'
through Congress at the extra sessl'''
developed AT a meeting of the iuu ma
ioritv of the House Ways and Means
committee to-day. The committee eA-
meets TO vote tomorrow on the pan
roughly drawn by n subcommittee OF
which Representative Hull is chairman
The rates are tentative and there IS
every shade of opinion I'm the committee
as to the extent of the tax and me
method of its collection. Representative
Garner. of Texas. is leading the action
which wants a graduated tax running
from y Of ! per cent on small incomes
to or per cent on incomes above
100000 The indications are that the cX-
omption will be $500 or 5000. and that
a graduated tax. beginning at per cent,
will finally be determined upon by the
committee
The committee will make a number Of
changes in the tentative draft Of its tariff
bill to meet the desires of the President.
The exact scheme of Democratic tariff
revision seems as unsettled to-day as It
was three months ago.
One member of the committee intimated
tonight that there is still discord among
the members over raw wool. The old
BRYAN idea of free raw wool may not
down. and the wool schedule is among
those put on the purely tentative list.
Mr. Underwood and his more conserva-
Tive colleagues are dwelling on the need
IF revenue, and free wool is improbable,
although IL was reported from one
source to-day that the President favors
very low duty.
President Wilson is said to have aligned
himself squarcly with those who favor
the free listing Of practically all farm
products
