Washington.—The senate finance
Committee authorized a favorable re
port on the Lodge substitute for the
house free sugar bill, and an unfavor
able report on the so-called house ex
cise income tax bill, which proposed a
tax on Incomes in excess of $5000 a
year. The Lodge sugar bill would
eliminate the differential and Dutch
standard from the tariff and leave the
duties otherwise practically as at pres
ent.
Senator Simmons offered a substi
tute sugar bill, prepared by the demo
cratic members of the committee. It
proposed a reduction of existing duties
by about one-third, but was voted
down by a strict party vote of six to
eight. Both bills would reserve the
20 per cent discount to Cuba.
There was no time suggested by the
committee for a vote in the senate on
any of the tariff bills, nor any renewed
effort toward effecting adjournment
of congress before the national party
conventions In June.
