TOBLOCK
DUTY ONCOTTON
Is DUE TUESDAY
Republicans Seek Import
Charge When None

WASHINGTON July 18-- (By AS
sociated Press The house today re-
sumed consideration of the proposed
oil tax in the Fordney tariff bill,
and fixed limit of three and half
hours for debate. TIE discussion
centered around the Treadway
amendment, introduced Saturday,
which would transfer crude and fuel
oils from the dutiable to the free
list.
The test of President Harding's
letter to Chairman Fordney oppos-
ing the imposition of duty on crude
petroleum and fuel oil and suggest
ing bargaining provision "to guard
against the levy of duties against
us" was presented in the house to-
day by Fordney. The text differed
materially from the recently publish
ed versions of the communication
and, replying to questions, Fordney
said there was another letter Nom
the president which he did not pro-
pose to read.
Under the special rule governing
consideration of the tariff bill,
final vote is due late Thursday.
Democratic members of the house
from cotton growing states announc-
ed afterinformal conferences that al
most solid party vote would be cast
against the Republican amendment
to the Fordney tarif fbill providing
a duty of ten per cent advalorenl. on
raw cotton.
Outlining the position of the mi
nority, Representative Garrett, of
Tennessee, acting Democraticl eader,
declared the "iniquity" of the pro-
posal was glaringly apparent" in
view of the statement of Representa-
tive Green, of Iowa, ranking Repub-
liean member of the ways and means
committee, that it would not increase
the price paid the farmer for his
products. Mr. Garrett added that
'the only excuse for the tax was to
enable Republican sto increase the
duty on cotton goods"
Amidst 50 many jpkers in the
Fordney bill" !" said Mr. Garrett, in a
statement, 1T is we'll nigh impossi-
bic to say which is the superlative
one, but certainly the proposition
when nine is imported, and the treas
ury can derive no duty thereby--is
at least as great as any.
To bring it Immediately home to
the cotton farmer, a duty on raw cot
ton VIII give nothing of increase ia
price, but it will be made the excuse
for raising the duty and therefore
the price upon everything made of
| cotton which he has to buy"
In framing the tariff bill the ways
and means committee kapt raw cot
ton on the free where it was
in the old Payne-Aldrich bill. When
the Republican causus took the bin
IN hand, however, fight led by
Southern Republicans was made to
tax cotton, some OF the advocates Of
this move asserting it would help
break the "solid South" E
The cotton tax amendment, under
the special rule by which the bin ID
being considered in the House, will
be taken up for vote Tuesday. Re-
gardless of the Ou5oome then there
will be another vote ON the praaosar
prior to final passage of the measure
