Finance Committee in statement is
sued tonight by Senator Frank R.
Gooding. OF Idaho, chairman Of the
tariff bloc
The Senate Finance Committee,
after months of the most painstaking
study and care, has about completed
Is work on the first all American tariff
bill in our history" Senator Gooding
said. "This measure will protect agri-
culture and industry alike, not only in
the West and South, but in the East
and North Under the leadership of
Chairman McCumber and with the sup
port Of my committee, am firmly con-
vinced that the tariff bill. when finally
enacted Will he one which every sec
tion Of this country will glsdiy sup
port. As there never has been such
need for n tariff which recognized ali
sections alike and as there never has
been such unanimous demand for
tariff legislation, think may safely
say that this Congress will never ad
iourn until the tariff bill is passed.
This is the sentiment Of both the Sen
ate and House.
American Valuation Defended
"Furthermore, those interests which
have been camou1aging their opposi

as a basis for ad valorcm duties are,
n my opinion, not going to succeed

every respect. 1t is going to put the
American people back to work on the
farm, ranch and mine and in the factory
by restoring to them an American mar
ket for their products. which is the
greatest market in the world. And by
adopting some form Of American valua-
tion, this bill would do away with
fraud and undervaluato and bring
much needed revenue to the United
States Treasury.
"Senators from agricultural states in
asking for a tariff on products of the
farm have been extremely liberal.
They believe the time has passed when
the East is the only section which should
re safeguarded from foreign eco
nomic invasion by a tariff. and they
have been gratifed to f. that this
view is shared by the manufacturers
and producers everywhere.
