pinned beneath the debris might have
miraculously escaped. forbade the use of

SENATE DEFEATS
HITCHCOCK PLAN
Finance Committee Turns
Down Graduated Excise
Tobacco Tax.
WILSON AGAINST IDEA
President Is Not in Sympathy with
the Attorney Generals
Views.
WILSON AGAINST IDEA

The majority members OF the Sen
ate Finance Committee made short
work yesterday of Attorney Gem
eral McReynolds' plan for infpos-
ing a graduated excise tax on to-
bacco products, when, by unanimous
vote, it was decided to reject the amend
ment to the tariff bill offered by Senat,sr
Hitchcock of Nebraska, which embodied
this plan.
The committee, il Is believed. acted
with the approval of President Wilson
in refusing TO give further consideration
to the McReynolds plan. The President.
ever since publicity was given to the fact
that Mr.. McReynolds had suggested the
plan. has insisted that he had given 1t
only brief consideration. and had not re-
garded it as anything more than the
merest suggestion. He has denied that
Mr.. McReynolds submitted the idea 20
him as a formulated plan. and has con-
sistently refused to accept the response
oility for the action OF the Attorney Gen.
eral in laying it before Chairman Sim
mons. of the Finance Committee.
Plan Caused Denial.
Two weeks ago a Juror resulted in A.
nancial circles when it was learned that
Mr.. McReynolds had stated his opposi-
ton TO the Tobacco Trust dissolution de-
cree at d SdDlIlSl meeting. anu ndu suB-
gested that a graduated tax on tobacco
products. which exceeded specified out
put. as a means for establishing better
competitive conditions in the tobacco
trade. The belief was gsneral at the
time that President Wilson and his Cab
met were intensely interested and not
without sympathy for this plan.
Later. however. there were indications
that the President and his advisors had
become impatient at the publicity given
the plan when il was in so incomplete
a stage. The White House deemed the
situation, which resulted from the plan
being made public, of sufficient impor-
lance as to demand that an official ex-
PLANTATION of the Administrations atti-
tude toward 1t be made.
In this explanation Is was stated en-
that whatever action had been
taken by the Attorney General in dis
cussing his taxation scheme with Chair
man Simmons or by Senator Hitchcock
in embodying this scheme in a proposed
to the tariff bill had not been
inspired by the Wilson administration.
The desire of the administration to
wash its hands of the scheme for the
time being, at least, was made quite
evident at the time. and so the action
of the Democratic members of the Sem
ate committee caused little surprise.
The Finance Committee adjourned last
night with a motion pending to free
list wheat and live stock without any
whatever.
Bananas, which are not raised in the
United States to any extent, were given
a duty of 5 per cent, the Democratic
majority in this instance considering the
banana as an infant industry and en-
titled to the encouragement TO be derived
from a small amount of protection. The
rates on Zante currants were cut in
half, while the House rates on citrus
products were untouched.
