NEW TARIFF BILL is
INTRODUCED IN HOUSE

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Market
by most radical and sweeping reduc.
tions, and with the full approval Of
President Wilson, the administrator
tariff bill was introduced in the
house today.
In introducing the measure, its
trainers said that the time had ar,
rived when American manufacturers
must meet "honest competition anc
must develop their business along the
best and most economical lines"
Backers of the measure predict il
will easily pass the house and that
the senate will have great difficulty
in blocking its enactment into law.
The measure, when introduced,
was seen to be even more drastic in
its reductions than was expected.
Raw Wool on Free List.
The bill places raw wool on the
free list, riddles schedule X, cuts the
sugar tariff and provides for free
sugar within three years; cuts the
cotton schedule sharply--which prob
ably will produce lower cotton prices
puts steel rails on the free list;
slashes all iron and steel duties and
either places on the free list or re-
duces to a minimum all duties on the
necessaries of life.
Perhaps the chief interest in the
bill is the cuts made in schedule X.
The duty on yarns is reduced to 20
per cent; on flannels to 25 to 35
percent, and on dress goods from
80 7-100 per cent to 25 per cent. 9th
er clothing is reduced to 80 per cent
and carpets are reduced from 60 per
cent to rates ranging from 20 to S5
per cent.
In order to simplify the bill, the
committee has practically abolished
all the specific and compound rates
of the Payne law and has substituted
the ad valorem plan, abolishing the
present classification which depends
on various conditions, such as a count
of threads, weight and value.
Income Tax Clause.
The income tax clause provides for
per cent on all incomes OF over $4,-
900 annually, and an annual surtax
of one percent on all incomes in ex-
cess of $4,000, with per cent on
all additional in excess of 100000
In explaining it's action on the
sugar schedule, the committee which
framed the tariff bill says:
This action shows the application
of the commercial conditions invol-
we'd and the committees desire to re-
spond to the public demand for free
sugar. The plan as provided is to re-
duce the present sugar rates by 20
per cent with the further provision
that in three years from the enact
ment Of this bill sugar shall go or
the free list.
Sugar Duty Reduced.
In the present bill the duty OF
standard sugar is eliminated and th'
present duty of .95 Of l per cent pei
pound on sugar testing by the polar
iscope not over rs degrees is reduced
to II of one per cent per pound. Fol
each additional degree the rate Is re
duced from S5 to &c one-thousandth
of one per cent per pound additional
40 degree molasses is reduced iron
20 to Is per cent and the same per
centage of decrease is shown in al
kinds of molasses.
The chemical schedule IS ais'
heavily reduced. Boracic acid is Gu
from 1920 to 21.4S per cent; glu
from 35 to IA. and all medicinal prep
arations from 25 to 8 per cent.
The rates on brick are cpt iron
1928 to 1928 per cent; on tile fror
