Fordney Defends Measure
Insists the Average Would
Range Lower Than Under
Payne-Aldrich Imposts

WASHINGTON, June Sharply
! conflicting views as to the tax burder
to be imposed on the American people
by the Administrations tariff bill were
expressed to-day by Republican anc
Democratic leaders of the House.
Counting the free list the average
duty rate was estimated by Chairman
Fordney of the Ways and Means Com
mittee at between Is and 20 per cent
compared with the 1856 Payne Aldrich
average and the per cent under the
present Underwood measure Mr.
Fordney insisted, however, that the
average, after an accurate estimate
would range lower than Payne-Aldrich
schedules.
Taking issue with the chairman Rep
resentative Garner, Texas, ranking
Democrat on the committee, declared
the rates, considering the American
valuation provisions, were higher than
those in any tariff bill passed by Con-
gress since the Civil War. Quoting
statements of Republicans that the
bill, if passed as written, would bring
in about 100000, 900 annually, Mr.. Gar
ner charged this meant an additional
cost of at least $2,000,000, 900 during
the life of the measure, and that the
larger portion of this burden would
fall upon the actual necessities of life"
Food for Unending Controversy
The upshot of all tariff talk verified
predictions made before the bill was
introduced Wednesday that the ques-
ton whether the new rates, taken as
a whole, were higher or lower than the
Payne-Aldrich duties would be the sub
ject of amending and everlasting con-
troversy and discussion.
In the absence of any expected
statement from Chairman Fordney
members generally found the 346page
bill almost bewildering. There was
resentment against some of the sched-
ules by Republicans, but, broadly speak
ing, members stood on the bill accord
ing to party affiliations. There was a
howl from some Democrats over the
free list, which, they insisted, had been
too sharply reduced
Before going into the preliminary
RSpuUllCdH caucus tO-HlBnI many rep
resentatives said it would take two or
three sessions to adjust all differences
Mr.. Fordney's plan to have the bill re-
ported Saturday, after meeting of the
full committee, was changed and the
was called for Wednesday.
The caucus tonight failed to reach
any definite agreement on the pro-
cedure to be followed in the House.
Duty Based on L. s. Value
1t seemed to be agreed that the
American valuation section would af-
feet between so and so per cent of
all imports which have no standard
value. In fixing the duty upon
chair, for example, the committee
wrote into the bill provision that it
should be assessed upon the value in
the American market Of comparable
and competitive article. In a word
a chair shipped here from Germany
and costing So there, would be as
5essed at the port of entry at So,
ii the latter figure were judged to
be the fair price in this country.
Under existing law the duty is based
apon the foreign value.

President Harding has made no at

Senator Sutherland to the Supreme
