TARIFF MEASURE TO GO
TO SENATE TOMORROW
No. Opposition Expected From
RepubIicans-Debate Plan
ned to Begin Monday.

Chairman Simmons has called a meet
ing of the finance committee for to-
morrow morning. with the intention Of
reporting the tariff bill to the Senate
tomorrow afternoon. Republican MEM
bers probably will not attempt any de-
lay. The democrats propose to begin
the debate Monday and keep the bill
continuously before the Senate until
1t is passed. Republican leaders agree
that will be before September 1.
Senator Smoot predicted today that
there would be no currency legislation
until the winter session.
Seeks Data on Tobacco.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska today
introduced a resolution calling upon the
Secretary of the Treasury for statistics
showing the pound production Of tobacco
in the United States and the amount OF
internal revenue collected from the twen-
ty largest tobacco manufacturers in the
last fiscal year. The senator wants the
information for use In urging his amend
ment to the Underwood Simmons tarin
bill providing a graduated income tax on
tobacco production.
That it will take four years Of court
procedure to settle the meaning OF the
changes In phraseology and reclassin-
cations OF the tariff bill as framed by
the democrats is the assertion Of Sena-
tor Smoot. a republican member OF the
finance committee. He says that the
revenues in the meantime will be held
up.
Importers said Senator Smoot.
''have lawyers engaged for no other
purpose than to pick out flaws or al
legged flaws of phraseology, and legal
presidents that have been established
by past court decisions will avail moth
ing in this bill"
Republicans Predict Amendments.
That democratic senator's. in view of
the failure OF the caucus to pass a
stringent binding resolutions, are going to
be permitted to vote for amendments to
the. wool and sugar schedules is another
claim made by the republicans.
They expressed the belief that amend
| ments would pass the Senate cutting
out free raw wool and free sugar, but
that the House conferees would insist
upon the original provisions: that the
Senate conferees would yield and that
all the democrats finally would approve
| the conference report.

U. S. BONDS BELOW PAR.
First Time in Twenty-Five Years for
Drop in Securities.

For the first time in twenty-one years
United States bonds are selling below
par. The United States Is were offered
yesterday at fraction over SO, with few
takers.
This situation is due to the pending
currency legislation, and is the first dem
onstration of practical working out Of
the theory of the new law.
The currency thinkers realize it, however,
and 1t is admitted by the Secretary of the
Treasury, who, with the banking and
currency committees will frame an amend
ment to correct 1t.
The trouble grows out of the funding
OF the 2s and the consequent loss OF cir
culation privilege. Banks are rushing
into the market to get rid Of their 2s
but the tariff trainers think that the ex-
element will abate upon the promise to
correct the bill.

Refunding Made Permissive.

subsequently it was dete. mined to
make the refunding Of the IS permissive
instead of compulsory and to change
the amount to be refunded from 10 per
cent to per cent annually.
This change made the limitation upon
the power of the banks to take out cir
culation against the IS unnecessary, but,
through an oversight this provision was
not eliminated from the draft Of the bill
which Is now under consideration.
Il have discussed this matter with
Senator Owen and Representative Glass,
respectively chairman OF the banking and
currency committees of the Senate and
House. and we are all in entire agree
ment that the bill should be SO amended
as not to interfere with or impair the
right of the banks. to take out circula-
ton against the per cent bonds now
owned or hereafter acquired by them up
to the full amount of their capital, as
provided by existing law. Nothing will
be done to abridge or impair the rights
of the holders Of the per cent bonds
whether such holders are banks or indi-
viduals. This Is simple justice.
THE bill should, of course. provide that
per cent bonds issued to refund the IS
shall not have the circulation privilege"

CURRENCY REFORM
|. ENCOUNTERS DELAY
Members of Senate Committee
Object to Consideration of
Bill at This Time.
MAY POSTPONE ACTION
FOR SEVERAL WEEKS
Provision Made for Extending u. s.
Government Bonds to Cover
Bank Currency.

Currency reform encountered renewed
delay in the Senate currency committee
today when Chairman Owen endeavored
10 have the administration bill taken up
for immediate consideration. Objections
to the opening OF the currency question
while the tariff bill is pending resulted
in an adjournment after two hours de-
bate. with no definite plan in view for
the future consideration OF the BILL
Senators Bristow, Hitchcock, Weeks
and others urged that action on the cur
rency measure be deferred until tariff
debate has been concluded. and that the
House be allowed to take up the currency
question first and pave the way for
Senate action.
The pronounced opposition shown by
members of the committee today to
present action on the bill probably will
result in deferring further committee
action for several weeks.
Replies received from bankers and bust
ness men to the committees list Of cur
rency questions recently sent out will
be edited and printed for public use.
Agree on Amendment.
An amendment to the Glass-Owen cur
rency bill. which will retain circulation
privileges for United States 9 per cent
bonds during the entire period Of twenty
y
the existing s7OO,OOO.OOO issue of national
bank notes secured by these bonds. has
been agreed to between the Secretary OF
the Treasury and Chairmen Owens and
Glass OF the Senate and House banking
and currency committees. Secretary Nc
AdOo has announced this agreement.
Critics Of the currency bill have as
serted that the recent decline below par
in the market value Of the per cent
bonds was due to the provisions Of the
bill limiting the bond-secured circulation
of the banks to the amount outstanding
when the bill should become law. there
by depriving the bonds of the circulation
privilege and decreasing their investment
value.
THE bill as originally drawn" COM
ments Secretary McAdoo in his state
ment on the subject, provided for the
compulsory refunding of 10 per cent of
the outstanding % annually. Had this
provision stood it would have been neces-
sary to limit the circulation privilege of
the banks to the amount of circulation
they had outstanding against government
| bonds at the time Of the passage of the
bib and such provision was incorporated
in the measure.
