CAUCUS TAKES UP
A SUCUR SCHEDULE
Crisis in Underwood Tariff
Program Is Reached
Today.
(National News Association)

WASHINGTON. April 12.-The cris,
is in the Underwood tariff program
was reached today when the Demo
cratic caucus took up the sugar sched.
ule. Sugar is one of the best revenue
producers and under the Payne law
brings in over $50,000,000 a year. The
estimated revenue under the Under
wood bill would be S37,000,00O annual.
ly, a 25 per cent reduction being
planned.
The total revenue which the Under
wood bill is expected to raise is $267,-
100000 a year.
There is a strong sentiment among
Democrats for putting sugar on the
free list Immediately instead of at the
end of three years as planned by the
Underwood bill. Representative Hard
wick's amendment putting sugar on
the free list Immediately, many Dem
ocrats believe will be accepted despite
President Wilson's declaration in fav-
or Of the Underwood program and if
the motion prevails the ways and
means committee will be compelled to
devise some means of making up the
s37,0o0,o00 deficiency which will re-
suit
Rep. Broussard offered an amend
ment for rate of IA on sugar. Five
members of the Louisiana delegation
will vote against the Underwood bill
on its final passage if sugar is free
listed, or if the Underwood provision
is adopted by the caucus.
