Assurance that there would be no
interference with the legitimate
grape industry of California or any
other sections Of the country was
given by Prohibition Commissioner
James NJ. Doran before he left for
the Pacific Coast for a personal In
yestigation Of that rapidly growing
business.
Treasury officials declared today
that the Federal Government had no
intention Of throwing any legal
hazards in the way, Of the continued
development Of grape production and
its many kindred industries.
For some time the Prohibition
Bureau has been investigating the
grape bushes and by the time
Doran completes his survey Of the
situation will have a fairly &C.

every year.

ton showed that grape products
have been used for legitimate pur.
poses. In some cases, however,
without the knowledge Of the pro.
ducers, and shipper, grape concen.
trates have gone into illegitinate
channels for the production OF
wines.
Where evidence is obtained that
wine production has been on a
commercial scale the Federal Gov
ernment will step in. The home
wine-maker and the petty boot.
logger, however, will be left to
the State and municipal govern
n1ents. So far as the United States
Government is concerned wine may
be produced for home use without
moletation.

It had been hoped to have the entire !
amount raised within a week after

ALI rates are cents per pound or
gallon or dollars per hundred
pounds or gallons.
The rate on sugar cane, which
the House increased from 81 ton
to SO q ton, was reduced by the
Senate Republicans to 50 a ton.
The various schedules, with all
their rates. will be made public
some time Monday. The Demo-
Gratis will open fire on them at
once, and continue attacking them
until the bill has passed the Senate.
probably. some time in November.
The sugar schedule undoubtedly
will be one of the highlghts Of the
tariff debate, as Democratic and
Insurgent leaders have declared
they were opposed to any increase
in the existing rate.
The problem of Administration
leaders, from now until December,
will be to rally a majority of the
Senate to the support Of their
rates. Failing in this. the whole
tariff bill may be mangled in the
Senate and the measure itself die
in conference when the special ses-
sion ends next fall.

HOUSE BILL
TRIMMED
TRIFLE.
BY WIN. K. HUTCHINSON

~ w G4s A. AZ 4O3AAN6OSN
A Republican senatorial YER
sion of the new 1929 tariff act,
estimated to bring about $780,
OOO,000 annually into Uncle
Sans Treasury, was completed
today, with its average of
tariff duties slightly lower
than those enacted by the
House three months ago.
Winding up 10 weeks of delibera.
tion over rates by reducing the
House duties on sugar, the Republi.
can members of the Senate Finance
Committee disappeared for week
end vacation. They will come back
next week to revise the administra.
tive feature of the law. including
the much disputed issues over valu-
ations and the presidential power to
raise or lower duties by executive
decrease.
Meet To Recess
The Senate will reconvene Monday
after long summer vacation, but
as the bill will not be ready for dc
bate, three-day recesses will be t2e
order until September 4. In the
meantime. the Democrats and IN
eurgents win be given the Repuph-
can tariff schedules so they can
organize for battle, against the
thousands Of increased rates.
\ While thousands upon thousands
1af& n1nfn1rhAn ana
other thousands approved as they
passed the House, the Senate He-
publicans in many instances re-
duced duties. They were generous
in hundreds of other cases how
ever, particularly in dealing with
agricultural products where many
House rates were Increased.
The sugar controversy ended IN
n compromise. The House rates
of $2.40 per hundred pounds against
Cuba and $500 against the world
were rejected first. Then a long
debate revealed the majority mem
bers were opposed to the existing
rates Of $1.76 for Cuba and $2.IO
for the world. Finally, by a vote
of z to 4, a compromise schedule
was adopted Of 1920 against Cuba
and $2.75 for the rest OF the world
Smoot Deals Out Figures
senator Reed Smoot (R) Of Utah.
4atheFsof the sugar schedule issued
q statement Immediately declaring
the new Senate Republican rates
would only increase the cost OF
sugar to the consuming public by
$96, 400, 900 a year. He termed this
a small sum to pay for an adequate
protection of the sugar industry.
The increased cost. he said. would
average about % cents per person
b year.
''This rate will permit the sugar
industry of the United States to
Awe with a. small profit" Smoot ex.
fplained. ''If the sugar industry OF
the United States were destroyed we
would be entirely at the mercy OF
foreign producers"
.Smoot compared the 2.20 cents a
pound basic duty ION Cuban i'm
nortsl to the much stiffer rates
placed against imports of other
AGRICULTURAL products: He showed
that the sugar rate was almost the
lowest in .he schedule.
Sugar Rate Summary
A summary of the schedule IS
compared with the House rates and
the existing law follows:
