By the Associated Press.
The coalition of Senate Democrats
and Republican independents. which
upset administration forces twice last
week, is laying plans to attach tariff
bill to the tax reduction measure when
it reaches the floor.
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
spokesman for the Democrats on reve-
nue. legislation. yesterday predicted sup
port from Democrats for tariff rider
to the tax bill, while Senator McNiaster,
Republican. South Dakota, announced
he was considering introduction OF
tariff amendments to the revenue pro-
pcsal.
A stumbling block to the plan. which
has progressed so far only In private
conferences of leaders of the two groups.
lies in the unwillingneSS of Republican
independents to support the effort OF
the Democrats to force early action on
the tax bill. or to support the proposal
for a reduction in the corporation levy.
In fact. this obstacle in the negotia-
tions appeared SO great yesterday that
Senator Simmons said this and the
determination of administration leaders
TO delay the tax bill until after March
Is made the outlook for any tax re-
vision at this session very foggy."
Administration Republicans hold the
whip in the Senate finance committee.
where the tax reduction bill is now
shelved. and they will be able to check
any move there for tariff rider in
committee
But the announced stand of Senator
Simmons for tariff revision in connec-
ton with tax reduction gave new
promise for a real tariff row.

pendents previously put through by an

TARIFF RIDER ON TAX CUT BILL
PLANNED BY SENATE COALITION
Democrats and Independent Republicans
Join in Move to Force Consideration
In House.

overwhelming vote the resolution OF
Senator McMaster. asking for immedi-
ate downward revision of excessive
tariff rates. This was shunted aside In
the House, where tariff legislation
must originate, but actual tariff re-
vision attached to the revenue bill
would force House consideration.
The strength Of combination OF
Senate Democrats and Republican in
dependents was shown twice this week
in the Senate when such line-ups voted
down the administration in favor OF
congressional inquiry into the sinking
Of the submarine S-4. and again in
approving the provision of the Jones
shipping bill requiring unanimous con-
sent of the Shipping Board for the sale
Of any vessels hereafter.
President Coolidge already has taken
cognizance of these votes and strong
intimationS have come from the White
House that they did not meet with
his approval Similarly. the President
has emphasized recently his opposition
TO any tariff revision at this session.
Just what form the proposed tariff
amendments would take has not been
worked out. although Senator Simmons
said he would indorse a downward re-
vision of some schedules, as proposed
in the McMaSter resolution. and would
be ready to listen to suggestions for
increasing the rates on some agrlcul-
tural products. as Is proposed in the
House by various members.
Although the North Carolina Senator
is dubious over the outlook of any tax
revision and questions sincerity of the
administration on its proposal for such
legislation. Chairman Smoot of the
finance committee, has promised in the
Senate that he would bring the tax
measure up before the committee after
March Is. when first tax returns y; the
year showed about prospective income
of the Government.

Stevens Would Have Leading
Engineers of Country
Study Problem.

BY the Associated Press
The control of the Mississippi food is
a greater engineering problem than
was the building of the Panama Canal,
in the opinion of John F.. Stevens,
former president OF the American So
ciety OF Civil Engineers. and chief
engineer OF the canals construction.
Testifying yesterday before the
House food control committee. Stevens
urged that the problem be given more
careful study and that the leading engi-
neers of the country be called upon
to give their advice before definite
solution Is mapped out. He asserted
that the Army engineers had not ac-
cumulated data necessary to devise a
permanent remedying of the problem.
Jadwin Is Witness.
Mai Gen. Edgar Jadwin, chief o.
Army engineers. whose food plan was
recommended to Congress by President
Coolidge. was a witness before the COM
mittee for most OF the day. He re-
viewed the engineering features OF his
project.
Because the committee desires TO de-
vote a longer time 10 the examination
OF the general Chairman Reid re-
versed his decision TO end hearings
yesterday and announced that they
would be continued this week.
Another series of attacks on the
Jadwin plan took place In the Senate
commerce committee hearing. Gov.

tive however. supported the engineer

Cured In It's views OF placing the re-
sponslbility for the work upon one man
or one agency.
Asks Single Agency.
Mr.. Stevens stressed that the work
should be placed under the direction
OF a single person or agency.
The only agency that can assume
the control OF the remedies Is the Fed
eral Government" he said.
Gov. Bilbo OF Mississippi submitted
his views 20 the House committee IN
