TARIFF MEASURE PASSES
BY VOTE OF 289 TO l27

WASHINGTON, July 21-The
Fordney tariff bill was passed to-
night by the house by almost q
straight party vote, after a Demo
cratic motion for its recommittal
had been rejected, 2S9 to 127.
The thee-yea dye embago povision,
the first contested schedule in the
Fordney tariff bill to come before
the house proper for a vote, was re-
jected late today, 209 to 1913.
The amendment to put crude and
fuel oil back, on the free list was
adopted a moment later without a
record vote.
Asphalt also was put OH the free
list without roll call, Chairman
Fordney announcing that the previ-
Gus vote on this schedule was so
overwhelming, it was unnecessary to
vote again.
On the first three contested items
to go before the house for a vote,
the ways and means committee,
which framed the bill, was over
turned in each instance.
By vote of 217 to 1913 the house
defeated an amendment to the tariff
bill fixing a duty of Is per cent ad
valorem on long staple cotton.
Hides were put on the Fordney
tariff bill free list, the house de-
feating today an amendment propos-
ing a duty of Is per cent.
The free hide advocates won by
vote of 239 to ia, after which the
Democrats demanded and forced a
roll call on about 200 committee
amendments in a group.
At the request of Secretary of War
Weeks, the house increased the duty
on quicksilver from Z to % cents a
pound Weeks said the product was
necessary for high explosives.
Rates on chamois glove leather
and pencils also were raised, the
tariffs on zinc ore also were raised.

At meeting Wednesday after
noon for the purpose of acting on the
income tax bills, upon which it had
heard arguments on Monday after
noon, the senate committee on ap-
preparations and ways and means did
not approve or disapprove the bill,

upon incomes, and limit upon the
incomes to be exempted from taxa
| ton.
The bill as introduced in the house
and senate contains no limit as to
the rate of income tax and none as
to the size of the income to be ex-
empted from taxation. 1t provides
that the state shall levy no taxes ad
valorem, but shall support itself with
tax upon incomes, and further
provides that the Legislature may
provide for reasonable exemptions.
The bill is similar to the income tax
amendment to the federal conStltu-
