WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. - There
isn't the slightest chance that the emer
gcncy tariff bill, which passed the house
and is now being considered in the sen
ate. will ever become a law. Even il
the Republicans should apply the clio
tu,e rule and end the Democratic tilibus-
ter the measure would be vetoed by Pres
ident Wilson when it reached the White
House And there is a good deal of evi-
dcnce that the Democrats would gleefully
accept Il cloture- rule and hasten veto
because most Of them See i'm this bill the
first party advantage out of the bill that
has appeared on the political horizon
since election day.
The Democrats with true political
Sagacity would not be averse to seeing
the Republicans pass u bill, the admitted
eject OF which might be an increase in
the cost of living Senators Simmons
Cf North Carolina, King of Utah and
Harrison of Mississippi have drawn
from their opponents the admission that
the passage Of the FOrdney bill would
wife and they are preparing TO show
that the measure will go even further III
adding to the burdens of the consuming
public.
The truth is that the heart of eastern
Republicans is not behind the bill ut all
and that they would like to see it die at
the hands of a White House veto. But
Senator PcHroSc is supporting it Just as
are other Republicans from the East
because it i deemed advisable to main
tain party solidarity for the next SEES
sion when general tariff revision instead
of class tariffs Will be up for discussion
Moreover, many Democrats who at first
intended To vote for the Fordney bill
are getting cold feet. They see the party
advantage in opposing a measure which
increases the cost of living. Even il
the bill should pass the senate and bC
vetoed by the President, friends of the
measure admit there aren't enough votes
in both houses TO make the necessary

passage will not do so the next time as

fact that the pending tariff bill might
benefit the sugar producers but might
adversely affect the consuming public
was brought out strikingly in the senate
debate. as follows:
Senator King of Utah, Democrat: Il
have a great deal of confidence in the
senator from North Dakota and in his de
sire to legislate for the interest of the
American people. ! have 10 doubt he
