passed last July II, and of which this

that the average OF all rates is lower.
though the specific rates, and more
particularly those on ioodstuffs. are
somewhat highy. Exact comparisons
- the ad valcrem duties in the two
bills arc somewhat different, due to
the fact that the senate committee

calculations, treasury experts say
that the senate measure probably
would raise between $350,000, 900
