SENATE PASSES HUGE TAX BILL SPEEDING
 II ID CONCLUSION

WASHINGTON, June 1, (P - The huge new tax bill, the bulwark of financial stability for the Ma tions was passed by the Senate speeded immediately to the con- cluding formalitieS which will make it law.
 The measure is designated to raise $1 ,115,O 100000 revenue and was passed 20 minutes after midnight at the cdnclusion of 14 hour dramatic session which was without parallel in recent Congresses, after President Hoover's pleas to the Senate which swiftly built up the bill by $2SO,OO0,OOO with an 11th hour addition of taxes on gasoline electricity and increase income rates.
 The Senate turned deaf ear to the Presidents call for manu- lecturers sales tax and beat down in rapid order the whole succession of attempts to strike out tariffs and revise previous decisions.
 The bill was sent to the House fer conSerence to adjust differ ences, none of which are expected to prove dangerous. The prospect is that it will be ready for Hoover's signature by the middle of next week
 The passage led to predictions that Congress might finish it's business before conventions but the odds are still against adjournment by that time because the tax bill must be adjusted in conference be- tween the Senate and the House The results must be agreed to by both chambers.
 The National economy bill must be passed by the Senate and agreed to by the House. Six or seven re- gular appropriation bills must be passed by the Senate and agreed to by the House then, unemploy- ment and relief are to be con- Sidered.

Dr. E. w. Clark. Secretary of the Association of Pacific Fisheries that is largely operating in Alas kan waters, was in Washington May 12 and appeared before the House Ways and Means Commit tee. He advocated support of H. k. 8688, which seeks to equalize tar if duties by compensating for de- preciation in foreign currencles. He was particularly interested in the competition which the cannerS ot Alaska salmon have to meet in con- nection with the products of Jap an. Siberia and Canada. The great complaint is that the yen has drop ped in value g per cent, and the ad valorem duty on fish products from the East is 25 per cent, which leave the fish canners of Alaska and the United States without any actual protection. Dr. Clarke stat ed that Japan is particularly dan gerous as a fish competitor because that country has the same kind ot raw materials and machinery, to- gether with lower costs of produc- tion and transportation, than we do in the United States. The prices of fish cannery products in this country are now below the cost of production, he added. The unfor- seen depreciation of curre ncies has practically nullified the tar if rates in the present act.
