Meats Are Increased
WASHINGTON. June 20-The De

| WASHINGTON, June 29-The Dem
ccrats in the senate have decided not to
prolong uHduly the debate on the Ford
ney-AIcCumber tariff bill. and the indi-
cations are that the bill viii reach final
vote in four or five weeks. 1t is the ln-
tention of the minority to debate fully

ministration leaders to speed the bill to
its final passage. In the opinion of the
minority leaders, the Republicans, If
they so desire. can have the bill in con
ference by Aug. 1 at the latest.
Signs of the speeding up of the bill
We're in evidence yesterday when some
of the most important of the committee
amendments, namely, those relating to
live stock. and live stock products, were
disposed of.
in the, case of five cattle the senate
voted a DUTY of two cents a pound on
cattle weighing less than 1,050 pounds
and three and half cents Il pound on
cattle weighing more than l.0JO pounds.
The house fixed these duties at one and
a half and two cents respectively. On
fresh beef and veal the senate increased
the house rate of two cents a pound 10
three and a half cents. The duty on
sheep and goats was fixed at 50 a head
instead of at one cent pound as carried
in the house bill.
Inc mousse uuIy OF one ana one-quafIeF
cents pound on fresh mutton and goat
meat was increased to two and a half
cents a pound. Fresh lamb, which was
two cents a Id. in the house bill. is now
FIVE cents q pound. The duty on bacon,
hams and shoulders was increased from
one and one-quarter cents to two cents
pound. the house duty of 20 per cent
ad yalorem was jumped to five cents
pound. which is the equivalent of 30 per
cent ad yalorem, while the duty on rein
deer meat and other game, except birds,
was made four cents a pound instead of
20 per cent I'd vaIorem as voted by the
house.
