MEASURE WILL RAISE
ABOUT $500, 900, 900
ABOVE LEVEL OLD ACT
Expected That New Law Will
Be Called Up Tomorrow;
Will Be Speeded Up
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch. ]


signatures Of the republican mana
gers, will be called up tomorrow
with the expection that it will be
disposed of not later than Thursday.
The measure then will go to the sen
ate but because of opposition TO the
dye embargo and other provisions,
action there may be delayed a week
or more.
As framed the bill is estimated
roughly by the experts to raise ap-
proXimately $500 200, 900 in revenue
on the basis of the present volume
of the import trade. The level of its
rate, according to the experts, is
slightly below the level in the
Payne Aldrich bill. the last repub
lican protective tariff, but is consid
erably above the level OF the demo
cratic Underwood law now in force.
Claim Best Tariff Bill.
The bill will become effective i'm
mediately after President Harding
signs il, replacing both the Under
wood and emergency tariff acts. II
is designed to a large extent, its
trainers have said, to meet the un-
usual world economic situation and
more particularly to protect Ameri
can industries from the low cost
industries in Germany and the coun-
tries ca-ved out of Austria Hungary.
Proponents have defended the
tariff in the long senate discussion
of it as the best balanced" protec-
tive tariff bill ever written and the
first such measure TO accord agri-
culture a proper need of protection.
Democratic opponents on the othe-
hand. have assailed it as the most
ubiquitous" tariff ever presented to
the American congress, as certain to
increase the cost of living by sew
eral billions of dollars a year and as
a vehicle to enable American man
ufacturers to continue war prices,
Both republicans and democrats
will take the fight over the bill to
the country in the coming political
campaigns.
