are given some Of the more important
rates in the tariff bill. reported today
20 the Senate by the finance com
mittee, with comparisons with the
Fordney bill and the Payne-Aldrich
the last Republican protective tar
ir-and Underwood laws, wherever
feasible. The ad valorem rates IN
the Fordncy measure are based on
American valuation but they are
used here in the comparisons. Ex-
perts attached 10 the committee say
that 25 per cent, American valuation,
IL generally equivalent 20 3 per cent
foreign valuation.
Because Of entirely different elias
sificntions have been used in draft
ing the wool schedule in the new bill.
no comparison Of rates in that sche-
dule with those in the famous X OF
the Payne Aldrich bill is undertaken.
The raw wool rates in the Senate
