GENERAL
NEWS SECTION
PARTY IS SOLID
ON TARIFF
BILL

Riding rough-shod over the Demo
Gratis and adopting the new Hawley-
SmOot tariff bill as a party meas
ure, Republican members of the
House Ways and Means Committee
today formally reported the bill to
the House after an hours discus
sion. The vote was Is to 9.
Despite the widespread criticism
of the bill which followed it's intro
duction, every Republican member
of the committee stood soiidly by it.
The full Democratic strength
with the exception of Representa-
tive Hill Cd of Washington, was
registered against it. He voted
present.
The Democrats, who were called
into committee meeting for the
first time since the Republicans be-
gan drafting the measure two
months ago, were given little op.
portunity to register their protests
before the vote was taken.
With many Democrats approving
of some of the rates in the bill,
however, it was indicated that a
minority report would not be filed
by Representative Garner D.) of
Texas, as the ranking minority
member. Representative Hull Cd
of Tennessee, who has been leading
a fight to prevent a division in the
Democratic ranks, announced that
he would prepare a minority re-
port.
The tariff fight formally got un,
der way when Representative Haw.
ley (R.n of Oregon, chairman of the
WnVS ond Means
the floor in the House to defand
the bill.
Fail To Agree
Democratic members of the Ways
and Means Committee, who were
denied a part in the making Of the
bill, canvassed the situation in a
lengthy meeting. but failed to reach
an agreement on course of action.
Democratic members from the
congested districts of the East were
unanimous in their condemnation
OF the committees proposal to raise
j the world tariff on sugar from 2.4O
to 8 cents pound. They also saw
in many other agricultural increases
an added cost of living for the
people in the East's great cities.
Presidents Power Greater
The provisions of the new bill
giving the President the right to
reorganize the tariff commission
greater power to make changes in
duties and the wiping out of the
Customs Court and making the
Treasury Department sole Judge OF
the value of goods upon which the
tariff is based, were assailed by
Representative Garner.
The bill, he declared, takes from
Congress its constitutional taxins
power and lodges it in bureaucra tic
hands.
Despite murmurings among mem
bers of the farm bloc" it appeared
today that the corn belt would mo-
rise in open rebellion to the bill.

COALITION
IN SENATE
WINS BY
3VOTES
By WIN. K. HUTCHINSON
international News Service

AuIoEuattOAnA GSW@ ScHVlCO
The Democratic Insurgent
coalition, which handed Presi-
dent Hoover his first legis-
lative defeat by writing the
export debenture plan into the
new farm bill in the Senate,
faced a superhuman task to-
day in the drive to enact this
form of relief into law.
A hostile House awaited the bill.
which probably will be enacted final
ly by the Senate early next week.
Then, If the coalition should win
as surprising a victory in the House
as 1t did in the Senate, the bill
would face an almost certain presi-
Dental veto.
The debenture plan, as it now
stands. would authorize the pay.
ment of a bounty on all exported
surplus crops. The bounty would
be equal to half the tariff rate on
the particular crop exported.
Its proponents declared it would
take care of the surplus crops,
which have pauperized agriculture
in the past, and would provide this
relief out of tariff revenues.
All Crops Included
All crops were included in It's
provisions but the whole provision
would be operable only if the pro-
posed Federal Farm Board deemed
it necessary to meet an emergency.
The coalition won an astonishing
victory in the Senate.
The final vote approving the
debenture was AZ to IA total of
81 votes being cast. The four other
Senators were paired on the ballot
and two Of them were present. The
vote. in which every Senator was
recorded. was without precedent in
recent years and indicated the ire.
mendous political importance at
tached to it by leaders of the two
major parties.
Making An Issue
The coalition apparently has de-
cided to make the debenture plan
it's political campaign issue. Even
if 1t is ultimately stricken out of
the farm bill, the coalition will at
tempt to have it inserted in the
tariff bill, which viii follow the
agricultural measure. If defeated
in that attempt, the coalition un.
doubtedly viii make the debenture
an issue in the congressional cleo
tions of 1880.
The debenture plan likely viii
meet defeat in the House.
The lower branch of Congress al.
ready has refused even to vote on
it, but will get another opportunity
to express itself after the bill has
gone to conference to iron out the
differences in the House and Senate
| bills.
Administration leaders predicted
the House. always more decile than
the Senate to party control, would
stand by the President. The coali-
tion meanwhile centered its efforts
on forcing a record roll-call in the
House.
Hope for End
The farm battle continued merrily
in the Senate, but with Administra-
ton forces anxious to terminate it.
The debenture has pushed the old
equalization fee into the back
ground, although the Senate win
get chance to vote on this former
favorite within the next day or two.
Senator Copeland Cd Of New
York, offered an amendment, includ-
ing the. fee in the new bill, but he
had little hope Of obtaining its
adoption.
Although this form Of farm relief
proved a favorite with Congress
for the last four years, 1t was
definitely discarded in the last cam
paign.
