nun IN THE SENATE
A Long and Bitter Fight Seems Inev-
itable on the Wilson Bill.
THE Psorosrninoonr TAX.
If the Measure Is Stricken Out In Commit-
tee, an Attempt, Backed Up by a Num- '
ber of Republicans, \Vill Bo Made
to Relnstatc It In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—The Republicans
of the senate finance committee are not
inclined to concede the point taken by
Chairman Voorhees and other members of
the committee that the tariff bill should
be hastily disposed of in committee. Sena-
tor Aldrich, who had charge of the Me-
Kinley bill in the senate, said that so far
as he was concerned he would demands
very thorough investigation of the merits
of the bill and ask that exhaustive hear-
ings be given by the committee to the in-
terests affected by the bill.
“I see it is claimed,” said he, “by the
chairman and the Democratic members of
the committee that the some men who
were before the house committee on ways
and means when the bill‘was before the
committee would want to be heard by the
senate committee. Granting that this is
true, it goes for nothing. There have teen
no hearings whatever upon the bill w ich
is now before the country and which was
not then in shape. \Vhy, it has been
changed materially in the house, and very
few people now know just what the bill
contains as it passed. The bill affects so
many interests that the welfare of the en-
tire countrv is involved in it.
“I therefore think and I believe the Re-
publicans of the senate will sustain me in
the position that representatives of the
various industries should have an oppor--
tunity to come before the committee and
show how they will be affected by the
passage of the bill. I feel confident,” the
senator added, “that the Republicans will
make this demand, and I should not be
surprised if the request is not granted by .
the committee that it will be taken into
A Long Fight Ahead.
It was suggested to Mr. Aldrich that
Senator Voorhecs had given as a. reason
for having the question disposed of at the
earliest practicable moment the fact that
the country is in suspense and business
stagnant because of the uncertainty, to
which he replied, “Better the uncertainty
of life than the certainty of death.”
Other Republican senators said when
spoken to upon the question of extended
hearings that if the parties at interest are
not afforded an opportunity to appear be-
fore the committee they will probably ap-
peal the question to the senate bya motion
to recommit the bill to the committee as
soon as it is reported.
“I am of the opinion,” said one of them,
“that if the Democrats became convinced
that we shall take this course they will
grant an opportunity to the. protected in-
dustries to be heard, for they must see that
a question of this kind raised in the senate
would not only put them in a bad light 1)..—
fore the country, but that. the debate which
would ensue would probably consume
quite as much time as the hearings if'
granted. ” ‘
The Republicans are also urging upon
Mr. Voorhees that time should, be taken
for the collection of the replies to the cir-
culars sent out by him asking for opinions
and information on the effect of the bill.
“Of the million circulars which are being
distributed,’! said a Republican member of
the finance committee today, "I doubt
whether replies have been so far received
to a hundred of them. \Vhat is to be done
with the mass of matter which the replies
Will bring in it it. is not to be considered by
the committee?”
Democratic senators are somewhat con-
cerned over the amendment introduced
Friday by Senator Quay. '
The Income Tax.
There is strong,r pressure to have the com‘
mittee strike out the income tax feature
of the bill, and some of the Democratic
members have agreed to use their influence
in this direction. It does not appear, how-
ever, that the Democratic majority will be
solid in favor of this course, and it begins
to look as if there might be a contest
among the Democratic members of the
00mmittee on this point. A western Re-
publican senator said today if the income
tax feature should be stricken out in com-
mittee there would be an effort to replace
it in the senate, where he thought it would
be supported by at least a dozen Republic.
ans. Among the names which are men.
tioned as those who favor it were those of
Senators Teller and Wolcott of Colorado,
Jones and Stewart of Nevada, Hansbrough
of North Dakota, Pettigrew of South Da-
kota and Dubers and Shoup of Idaho.
The Democratic members of the finance
committee will take up the bill in cancel;
this week, and it is understood that Ben
tor McPherson, although his health is sti 1
poor, will make an effort to do his share of
the work. He is anxious to do so. It has
been supposed by some that Mr. McPher-
son, being from a manufacturing state,
would advocate radical changes in the bill
and prove a stumbling block in the way of.
other members of the Democratic majority,
but he has set these rumors at rest by
again declaring that he would be con-
trolled in the tariff question by the major-
ity of his Democratic colleagues and would
go into the senate prepared to support any
bill which they agree upon in committee,
Appropos of the discussion of the ques-
tion‘ of time which the bill should occupy
in committee and in the senate, it ay be
of interest to know that the McKin ey bill
was in the senate for almost four months.
It reached the senate from the house on
May 24, was reported to the senate from
gommittee on June 18 and was passed on
ept. 10.
