TARIFF REMANIIS

' Wants 5-Cent Duty on
Short Staple Cotton
WASHINGTON. Jan. 14,—Final dis-
cussion of the basis of assessing the
import duties which are to be written
into the new tariff bill was started to-
day by Republican members of the
Senate Finance Committee. They
hope to reach a decision on this. the
most important and difficult phase of
the whole tariff problem. before the
end of next week and then the actual
work of constructing the rates will be
understaken. The hope now is that
the bill can be reported to the Senate
around March 1.
Besides discussing the American val-
uation plan and various substitutes
with members of the Tariff Commis
sion and the Court of Customs Appeals
the committeemen received from the
Senate Republican-farmer-taritf bloc
recommendations as to rates on farm
products. These included a suggested
duty of 5 cents a. pound on short staple
:otton which always has been on the
”rec list. and a. rate of_33 cents a
pound on wool, on the basis of the
scoured content, as against the 25
cents proposed in the Fordney bill.
Rates at increases over those in the
Fordney bill on wheat, oats and many
other products also were urged.
