BOOST EFFORTS
IN CITRUS TARIFF
Amendments Intended io Raise Pro

Fruit and Oranges Lost as Are
Those For Figs, Raisins, Olives-
Efforts of Republicans Craw Weaker
and Weaker Alflwi a Certainty
Bill Will Go Throtifrh.
WASHINGTON. May 2. All
amendments offered by California
congressmen to offset proposed
sweeping reductions lit the citrus
fruit schedule went down to over
whelming defeat in the bouse today.
The citrus fruit paragraph as em
bodied In the Wilson-Underwood tar
iff bill, wag adopted.
Fighting valiantly with but scant
hope for success, California con
gressmen bitterly assailed proposed
sweeping reductions in citrus fruit
duties contained In tho Underwood
tarirr bill. Tho democratic majority
resisted these efforts, alleging Cali
fornia lemon growers seek an unfair
advantage by taxing the whole coun
try with tho object or monopolizing
the eastern as well as the western
markets.
Aviaultfl flrovr AVcaJter.
The republican assaults upon the
tariff bill are growing weaker each
day, and It Is now almost certain
that, tbe citrus schedule will bo ap
proved as It stands. , The minority
leaders hope to harass the democrats
by resorting to guerilla tactics and
hereafter will, offer numerous
amendments to every schedule.
Another partisan Crush Is ex
pected when the wine and liquor
schedule Is reached. Tomorrow tho
wool schedule comes up for consid
eration and despite tho fight prom
ised by Ohio and western democrats.
It is certain tho schedule will gd
through unamended.
Representative Under.wood hopes
to put tho cntlro tariff bill through
either next Tuesday or Wednesday,
devoting one whole day to the in
come tax feature.
All Amendments Lost.
During tho debate on tho citniB
schedule Representative Knowlund of
California offered nn amendment in
tended to boost the duty on figs ud
raisins, nnd Representatives Hays of
fered nn amendment proposing to
tontinuo tho Payne rote on olives.
Representative Hell offered nn'
amendment changing the duty on
lemons to l'A routs, a pound, and that
on ornucs, limes, grapefruit and
shaddocks to one cent per pouud.
All wero defcuted.
Representative Stcvena' proposal
for u ono cent rate on lemons and
three quarter of n cent on othor ci
trus fruils nlso was rejected.
