The Texans are delighted with their
assignments,. especially the new mem-
bers, who have been unusually well
taken care of. Representative Garner
is the Texas member of the ways and
means committee, which has made
this assignment. The list will be sub-
mitted to a democratic caucus this
week for ratification.
Washington.—Meats and flour will
not go on the free list in the demo-
cratic tariff if the recommendation of
the senate finance subcommittee in
charge of the agricultural schedule is
accepted. This important alteration
of the Underwood bill as it passed the
house was determined upon Monday
by the subcommittee composed of
Senators Williams, Shively and Gore.
It was decided, in carrying out the de-
terminate nto perfect the Underwood
bill by equalizing raw materials and
their products, that it would be wiser
to levy nominal duties on meats and
flour products than to put live stock
and grain on the free list.
In accordance with this decision,
the subcommittee took from the free
list fresh raeats-=^be®f, mutton and
pqrk—^and njade them dutiable at 10
per cent ad Valorem. Wheat flour was
restored to the dutiable list at the
specific rate of 45c a barrel, with
other wheat„products at 10 per cent ad
valorem and the Underwood duty on
oats was reduced from 10c per bushel
to 6c per bushel, with a compensatory
duty on oatmeal said to be aproximate-
ly 5 per cent advalorem.
This rate on oatmeal was not defi-
nitely determined, but it is asserted
that the recommendation will be to
take oatmeal from the free list. Cat-
tle, sheep and hogs will be left as
they are in the proposed bill, dutiable
at 10 per cent ad valorem, and the
Underwood duty of 10c a bushel on
wheat will stand*.
These recommendations will be
made to the finance committee late
this week or early next week, and the
senators who propose the change be
lieve it will have the approval of the
majority members and ajso of the
democratic caucus.
Soon after the passage of the Un-
derwood bill by the house there were
many protests against differentiation
between raw materials and their prod-
ucts and it was one of the first fea-
tures to be taken up with the senate
leaders and President Wilson.
Several weeks ago the committee
determined to equalize the rates one
way or another and a few days ago
President Wilson was consulted about
the matter by Senator Simons, chair-
man of the finance committee, and
! Senator Williams.
j Another development Monday was
| the approval without change of the
j sugar schedule as it passed thg house,
] and other schedules advanced to vary-
ing stages of completion in the sub-
committees. It was also announced
by Senator Shively that in his opinion
the tariff bill, as it goes to the Senate
from committee, will be a lower bill
j in the aggregate than the Uniderwood
I bill. The live stock association filed a
! protest declaring free meat would
tighten the so-called trust's grip.
