TARIFF TAX FIGHT
OPENED IN SENATE
Minority Report Filed by
Walsh in Opposition
to Duties.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The drive In the Senate to strike
from the revenue bill the tariff" taxes
on imports of coal, oil, copper and lum-
Der was launched today.
Senator David I. Walsh of Massachu-
sets filed O minority report from the
Finance Committee attacking the i'm
port taxes. 1t was signed by four Dem
ocrats beside himself, Senators Harri-
son, George. Costigan and Hull.
-Four Democratic members Of the
Finance Committee failed to sign this
minority report, Senators King of
Utah, Barkley Of Kentucky, Connally
of Texas and Gore Of Oklahoma, all Of
whom had supported the tariff" taxes
in committee
Senator Barkley's vote in committee
in favor of these tariff taxes already
has been raised against him by Demo-
Gratis who say he should not, in view
Of this vote, be the temporary chair
man and keynote speaker of the Demo-
crat ; National Convention.
Senate leaders determined today to
defer consideration Of the billion dollar
revenue bill until tomorrow to give one
more day for an attempt to act on the
Glass banking reform measure.
May Decide Fate Of Bill.
The fate OF the revenue bill, so fal
as the Senate is concerned, may be in
timately tied in with the fate of the
tariff amendments II any of these
tariff amendments is stricken from the
measure during its consideration in the
Upper House, slated to begin today the
closely knit combination supporting
the bill may fall apart, making it pos
sible to amend the bill in many par
ticulars. If the tariff take: remain
intact, other assaults upon the bill, II
was said today, are likely to fail and
the bill Will go through much as 1t wal
reported from the committee.
Once a breach Is made in the bill
committee supporters Of general
manufacturers excise tax are hopeful
that 1t will be possible for them to sub,
stitute such tax for many of che in
dividual excise taxes and postal in
creases now in the measure Senator
Walsh Of Massachusetts Is today al
work on a manufacturers excise taa
amendment.
The minority report filed by Senator
Walsh on the tariff taxes began:
Declared IndefensibIe.
I'VE emphatically dissent from the
inclusion in the revenue bill as reported
by the Finance Committee Of the tariff
duties on oil, coal, copper and lumber
masquerading as excise taxes. We re-
gard the inclusion of these tariffs in
the present bill, under all the circum-
stances, as utterly indefensible We
believe that it is unsound in principle
and dangerous In practice to attempt tc
make the present revision of our do
mestic tax laws the vehicle for tariff
tinkering. Furthermore, the prospec-

 Runs on Schedule
 The first ballot ran off almost according to schedule. Except for demands from Minnesota, New York and the District of Colum- bla for a poll of their delegates, and futile efforts to break dowr the unit rule by the first and last, the voting was about as had been predicted. Roosevelt had fewer votes in New York and Pennsyl- vania than his manager had claim cd
 There was some delay in an- nOuncing the results, due to the fact that Missouri, which had or iginally cast it's 36 votes for Reed, changed and gave 12 to Roosevelt before the totol could be made up.
 Prompt action by the Chair pre- vented a motion to adjourn at this point. Immediately after the result was announced, the Chair man ordered a second ballot and the Secretary called Alabama" 4 delegate from Connecticut address cd the Chair to move for adjourn.

the present rule permitting
stops of a half-hour duration.

lice regulation which permitted
vehicles to stop just long
enough to make a sale is IA
vored. This was nullified sew
eral months ago, it was con-
tended, when the Commission
ers approved of the new rule.
