FORDNEY BILL

BY DEMOCRATS
Use Old Straw Hat to Illus
trate Contention in Open
ing Fight in House.
GARNER SCORES RATES
Says Provisions Exceed Old
Schedule-Calls Mellon
a Beneficiary
By Associated Press /:

By Associated Press:
WASHINGTON. July g An old
straw hat was the article used by
democrats in opening their attack in
the house today on the Fordney pro-
tective tariff bill to illustrate their
contention that its rates we're higher
than anything written into the Payne
Aldrich bill a decade ago.
Rep. Garner of Texas, ranking
democrat on the ways and means
committee, in the course of a two
hour denunciation Of the measure
seized the hat as the first object
within sight and challenged republi-
can members of the committee TO
say off hand what duty had been i'm
posed upon IT.
There was a moments hesitation,
then in the midst of a shout from
the minority side, Rep. Green. re-
publican. Iowa, arose from his seat
and brought an answering shout
from the republican side by announc-
ing that it was printed in the bill.
Compares Bills.
Still waving the faded headgear,
Mr. Garner declared that in the
Payne-Aldrich bill the duty on that
product was fifty per cent, but in the
Fordney measure ii was $40 dozen
plus an ad valorem duty Of 90 per
cent, which made the actual import
tax 81 % per cent Comparison Of
the two bills, he said, would show
the same scales running through the
346 pages of the Fordney measure.
The average rate Of the Fordney,
he added. was higher than any ever
proposed by congress.
Attacking the American valuation
provision. Mr.. Garner charged that
| if il had been applied TO the present
Underwood law rates now being paid
would exceed the Payne-Aldrich
schedule in every instance.
There were many sharp exchanges
while Mr.. Garner had the floor Most
of the verbal battles ragged around
the valuation provision.

and against the bill out Of the way
