Senate Decides
To Put Tax Bill
Ahead of Tariff
Continued from pauo one)
The tax bill until the tariff bill is
passed.
Expected to Help Business

the Lax olll ultil the tarlfi Dill IS
passed
Expected to Help Business
The advocates of early passage of
the tax bill believe that once it is
passed and the public knows what
taxes to expect next year, the ten
dency will be to stabilize business con-
ditions
In announcing that the committee
had decided temporarily to lay the
tariff bill aside, Senator Pcnrose said
there was general acQuiescence on the
part of the Republican members.
Senator Penrose, when asked what
the committee would do on excess
profits tax repeal, said:
81 take it that the committee will be
in favor Of the repeal of the excess
profits tax provision"
The Senator would not commit him
self as to whether this repeal should
date from January 1, 1921, or should
be left in the form as passed in the
/, 1922. He said there were not many
protests on fle with the committee over
the House action on excess profits.
In connection with the tariff revision
the executive committee of the agri-
cultural group or "bloc' in the Senate
met to-day with representatives of
farm organizations of different sections
and decided or an agricultural tariff
program. The Senators present were
Gooding, Of Idaho; McNary, Of Orcgon;
Capper, of Kansas, and Nicholson, of
Colorado. Senator Hiram johnson is
member, but was not in the city. it
was decided that North, East, South
and West should work in unison in get
ting the agricultural tariff rates adopt
ed in the Senate and fixed in the forth
coming law. The agricultural group in
the Senate and the farm organizations
will cooperate.
Thomas C. Atkeson, of the National
Grange, will head the organization
which was agreed upon. Experts will
be employed, efforts will be made to
agree on the rates which are necessary,
and arrangements will be made for
hearings before the Finance Commit
tee after the recess.
1t is the purpose in a number of
cases to secure rates higher than the
House rates Higher rates on wheat
are being urged by some of the pro-
ducers, and this will be given consider

be practical, including the docks of the
North German LLOYD Company at Bre-
men, Germany, and other terminal
facilities, thus preserving to the cred
ltors the company's assets so that the
court may offer these assets for sale
simultaneously with the sale or charter
Of the ships by the Shipping Board. but
the Shipping Board is in nowise bound
to give preference to the bidders for
sets. We feel in accepting this solu-
ton that Judge Manton, the Shipping
Board and the receivers have done the
utmost possible in the unfortunate SIT
uation.
Had the United States Mail Com
pany been permitted to continue WIN
the ships the losses would quickly
have mounted into untold and immeas-
urable sums. think l speak for the
receivers, who are here present. that
they were shocked with the CONDITION
which unfolded itself to them: and
know | voice the receivers belief that
the government in pursuing the course
it did did that which would preserve
this great feet.
"Under the present arrangement the
ships will be operated by three repre-
sentative companies coope ratlng with
each other to build up healthy asset,
and we feel that we can ask the public
with all confidence and all pride to
make full use of these floating palaces
with the assurance of uninterrupted
service and with the government in
back of the operators in the period in
tervening until the boats are finally
sold or chartered. We feel that the
conditions unfolded more than justify
the seizure in July.
"The Shipping Board kept its promise
to get back its ships. The Shipping
Board has taken immediate steps to
keep the American flag on the Atlantic
in pursuit of its fundamental purpose
and solemn duty.
mo so-called allen shipping inter
ests will be permitted to drive the
American flag from the seas-not SO
long as American citizens are willing
and able to operate American ships for
Americans.
1--WE did not go into this matter to
win a fight. We went into it to main
tain the American flag flying on the
seas, to protect innocent immigrants
who we discovered were being fleeced
and we accomplished what we starte
out to do"
