ClUtKItT A .tnn rni-renponilrnt Kienlnij I'lil.llr IiUer rnpurioht. 1021. hu I'ublir Urilarr Co. Washington. June .'10. -The Tariff Bill reported by the Ways nnd Means Committee nf the Mouse is expected to he accepted by the Hepubllcnn House caucus tonight with but few changes. It will probably pass the House in li liurrv. with limited debute nnd little real consideration. This In the usual course of tariff leg islation, the lower house merely form mg and passing a trial measure .which has to go through the ordeal of public discussion nnd total remnking in the Senate Pinnnce Committee and on the floor of the Sennte. About nil the Mouse does js n fur. nlsh something concrete for considera tion. In the hearings before the Senate Committee the various commercial in terests affected h the proposed duties hnve definite schedules before them upon which positive dafn will he available. Mr. I'nrdiiej's hill becomes thus onlr a trinl horse. With regnnl to it little information is nt present avnilnble. No one enn tell whnt revenue it will pro luce, estimntes nrying from $300, (100,000 to SI. 000.000.000. most of them being midwny between those two tigures. Like Payne Aldrlrh Bill The model of the bill is the Pnyne Aldrlch tariff agninst which the country reacted in the Taft Administration. But 110 one can snv with certainty whether inter, on the average nre higher in the new bill than In the old lnw. Some of them are higher, some of them art lower. .Mr. Kordney. however, declared toi ' ay thut the average rate nf duty in the new hill will range between 18 and '0 per cent, nccording to unofficial estlmntes. as compared with 18,.r." in the Pnync. Udrich bill. The Under wood nvernge rnte. he added, wns 6 per cent nnd the Piugley nvernge 26V per cent. "But when we ore nble to work out accurately the correct figure it will b? found thnt the new bill will run slightly below the Pnyne-Aldrich measure." Mr", Kordney said. "On manufactured wool our rate u less thnn Schedule K." Mr. Pordney said he wns preparing a statemeut in advance of his formal it port which would clear up many doubt ful points ln the bill. t ' Although more expert information has neen nvnllnble to the Fordney committee in fruming the present bill than any preceding Wnys and Means Committee' has had in mnking previous tariff latv, still the lnw is not nn expert law but a -compromise, tile effects of which no one can foretell, especially in view of the disturbed conditions of European ex chnnge nnd the uncertainty of costs of production abroad and the consequent rc.-ort to the new principles of American vuluution of imports. Hedged With Uncertainty Further, the authority given in the hill to the Executive to bnrter for lower rates with foreign Nations introduces another element of uncertninty. Only m practice will it be known how this device works, out and jiiht what the niton nctually enforced will be. Never was a tariff bill drawn about which there was so much uncertainty. Mr. Fordney will hand over to the Senate n vnriety of problems to answer nnd the Sennte will probably answer them nt its leisure, choosing first to respond to the country's demand for tax legislation before tariff legislation. On the whole the prospects for wane tariff legislation improve. The Fordney . onnnlttee itself struck out the ifnpopu Inr piovision for n duty upon lumber. President Hard'ng has overcome his ob jections to Interference with Congress in his letter asking for tho passage of n disarmament resolution He may b" counted upon to prevent the House and Senate from getting into a jnm over the liiestion of precedence ns between tariff nnd tax bills. Tax Revision First And it seems nlmost certnin that he will take the side of the Senate for the postponement of the tariff until pfter the other reenue laws are r, mended Every one except Mr Ford icy is keenh nwnre thnt what the busl ii. ss interest., of the country nre dp. mnndlng i tax revision nt tile earliest possible moment. President Harding also strongly favors giving the Executive the widest authority possible fnr making reelpro. nl arrangements with other countries Continued on t'aur M Column foil RECOMMEND EXPORT BILL Senate Committee Favors $100, 000,000 Government Corporation Washington.
