SAYS TARIFF WILL
DOUBLE REVENUE
Penrose Urges Haste to Put
Measure Into
Effect.

The emergency tariff bill, on the
items II protects. will yield double
the amount of revenue brought in
by the existing tariff, according to
Senator Penrose. chairman of the
Finance Committee.
He estimated the emergency rates
will yield $105, 100000 in six months,
compared with $45,00O.000 on the
same atticles under existing rates.
Penrose, speaking in behalf Of the
bill yesterday, urged haste in en-
actment by both sides of the cham
Der. Debate continued in a desul-
tory fashion, and it is not expected
the measure will come to a vote for
several days.
Penrose said striking out the ex-
change valuation provision devised
by the House committee diminishes
the possibility of extortionate duties
on goods coming from countries
with greatly deprecated exchange.
The anti-dumping clause, he declar-
ed, would be much simpler under
the method proposed by the Senate
