TARIFF BILL
s
Free List.
After on»* of the bitterest and one
of the most momentous legislative du
els In the history of the national cap
ital tbe new tariff measure, the Payne
bill, has been completed.
Tbe progress of the bill through tbe
legislative mil) of both houses waa
eventful enough to aatisfy the most
prouounced craven for parliamentary
warfare. Tbe real battle opened when
tbe bill (house report 1438) was re-
ceived in tbe senate and referred to
the committee on finance, April 10.
Aldrich of Rhode Island, the leader of
the senate as chairman of the finance
committee, subsequently became chair-
inai) <»f the conference committee,
which was appointed to adjust the dif
ferences arising between senate and
house and between both bouses of
congress and the president.
Taft For Free Hides,
The report of the conference com-
nilttee which determined what womd
be the provisions of the Payne bill in
Ils final form was a victory for Pres
ident Taft. lie informed all of the
conferees that hides must be placed
on the free list, together with petro
leum. crude and refined. They there
upon deckled to cut the Dingley tariff
on hides to 8 per cent. The president
heard the news and sent w’ord that
he had meant what he had said about
free hides.
The figures were then
lowered to 7 per ceut. Now Chairman
Sereno E. Payne of the ways and
means committee decided to demon
strate that his original bill, providing
for free hides should no longer be sub
jected to the emasculatory operations
of the majority of the conferees. He
announced that not even a 5 per cent
duty on hides would I m ? accepted by
either himself or the bouse. “Without
free hides this tariff bill will not pass
the bouse.’’ he was quoted as saying.
The tariff came off hides instanter.
and us quickly was oil put on the un
taxed schedule, together with gaso
line. benzine and naphtha. The leather,
rough lumber, print paper, coal and
iron and glove schedules ranked next
In Importance during the closing days
of the controversy.
If hides came In free, the Important
New England boot and shoe manufac
turing Interests would consent to a re
duction of tbe tariff on their products,
otherwise they would continue to fight.
The solving of the» hides problem left
It a simple matter to agree to lower
duties on boots and shoes—the Ding-
ley rate being 25 per cent. Saddlery
and harness were cut to 40 per cent,
as against the Dingley rate of 45 per
cent. The president resorted to tbe
unusual method of sending a written
message to the conference committee
demanding lower rates on lumber and
gloves than the Payne hill provided,
and be secured them.
Wool and Cotton.
The wool schedule underwent no
change of consequence, but the entire
cotton schedule w : ih reconstructed and
the plirnseoiogv greatly changed In the
hope of preventing reductions through
de< lalona by the courts such as have
churacterizcd the ndmlniatmtlon of the
Dlnglvy law during recent years. In
many Instantea the rates Intended to
be Imposed by the Dingley law were
cut by thwc decisions, the reductions
In some Instnn« ea being from BO per
cent t«> M |H»r cent ad valorem.
Probably the most marked reduc
tions are found In the metal schedule,
lloglunlng with a decrease In the rate
of Iron ore from 40 to 15 cents |»er ton.
there Is a general reduction throughout
tii.it part of the bill, pig Iron going
dowu (rom $1 to $2 50 per ton and
scrap Iron from $1 to $1. The reduc
tion on many of the Items In this
schedule amounts to about 50 per cent.
Rough luinlwr goes down from $1.50
to $1 25 per thousand feet, with a cor
responding reduction In the differential
ou dleased lumber.
The president was subjected to «e-
wrest pressure from botb the upward
and downward revisionists throughout.
The upward revisionists told him that
a reduction of duty on hide« and
leather manufactures would make the
next congress IH*moeratle. In which
event they Argued that Taft would not
possibly be renominated for the pres
idency
I’he "downwards” told him
that Hoewevelt would surely be the
next Republican candidate for presi
dent If the < ampalgn promise« for a
downward revision were not fulfilled.
The Corporation Tax.
The president had a highly difficult
task also In preserving hl« «rheme for
a corporation tax Intact In the Payne
bill
Thia feature Is dearly the most
unpopular one In the entire measure.
«<» far as member« of tbe «enate and
house were concerned
Many of the
members argued to the president that

THE FREE LIST.
The new free list of tbe Payne bill
includes the following articles:
Petroleum, crude and rctlued. was
continued on the free list, though con
siderable opposition to this procedure
developed.
Hides were put on the list after pro
longed and bitter controversies. Sena
tor Aldrich and various of the older
members of the upper house led tbe
campaign against free bides. Tbe
Diugley bill placed a duty of 15 per
cent ad valorem on hides.
Tbe new free list, while very similar
to that of tbe Dlngle.v bill, coutalm the
following articles that, among others,
were not on the Dingley list:
Hides, fenceposts, sulphate of am
monia. platinum combinations with
palladium, osmium and rhodium, kin
dling wood, rudlutn. works of art
paintings. pastels, etchings and sculp '
tures that have been in existence more
tbun twenty years prior to date of Im
portation; other works of art. of I
bronze, marble, terra cotta, pottery,
porcelain and antiques produced more
than 100 years prior to date of Im
porta tion.
ADMINISTRATIVE FEATURES.
The bill marks a distinct departure
in that it provides for a corporation
tax and a court of customs. Tbe cot
po ration tax. while yielding a large
amount of revenue, is primarily de
signed for the purpose of gor»romea
tai regulation of corporations, and It
will have this effect.
The fact that the amount of Ibe til
to be assessed was lowered from 2 per
ceut to 1 per cent is considered by the
members of congress to evidence clear
ly that tbe bill has regulation for it»
object and not merely revenue.
Tbe customs court of appeals wII1
further centralize tbe national gorer»
nient, and it will place the intricate
and technical cases as to the construc
tion of the law and tbe facts respect
ing classification of merchandise and
rate of duty under the jurisdiction ot
men who are specialists In this Hi*-
There is no appeal from this cour
which will sit tn Washington, »nd t!
members of which will be appoint!
by tbe president.
For the purposes of the operation
this court the country has been did
ed into nine customs judicial district»
