The Underwood } average rate, he added, was 6 per cent and the Dingley average, 26% per cent. “But when we are able to work out accurately the correct figure it will be found that the new bill will run slightly below the Payne-Aldrich measure,” Mr. Fordney said. “On manufactured wool our rate is less than schedule K.” Report Wednesday. The chairman sald he was preparing a statement in advance of his formal re- port, which would clear many doubtful points in the bill. Under a change of plans today the measure will not be considered by the full committee until Wednesday, after House members have returncd from the holiday over the Fourth of July. It will be reported that day. Democratic mem- bers of the committee already are at work_on a minority report, in the hope of submitting it along with the majority views. i The bill as it stands will be taken up by a republican caucus tonight in an effort to reconcile all differences 80 that the party may present a solid front when it is considered in the House next week. - Mr. Fordney indicated that a rule would be obtained which would- pre- vent amendments on the floor except those offered by the committee.

The Payne-Aldrich measure in pre-war years yielded a little over $300,000,000 per annum. No explanatory statements accom- panied the introduction of the meas- ure as heretofore has been customary and no official estimate was made of the revenue it is expected to return. Examination of the bill, which cov- ers 546 printed pages, shows that in some cases the rates proposed are higher than corresponding rates of the Payne-Aldrich law, while others are correspondingly lower. i An estimate of how the whole bill compares with the Payne-Aldrich law would only be possible by tariff ex- perts making a detailed study, be- cause the schedules of the new bill are in many cases not framed in parallel with the schedules of the Payne law, but are differently constructed. U. S. Valuation Allowances. In arriving at the estimates on the average duty in the pending bill Chairman Fordney sald, allowance had been made for the American valuation plan of assessment. Be- cause of the higher values in the American market, the rates of duty may be reduced, the committee has estimated, by 30 per cent, Wwithout lowering the protection the rates will afford or the amount of revenue they will produce. In other words, duty of 70 per cent, American valuation, will produce the same revenue and afford the same protection as a duty of 100 per cent if assesscd on the existing foreign valuation plan.

So if the provision be- comes a law it resolves itself solely into the attitude of the President.” Shingles Tax in Dispute. Protest also will be made, Mr. New- ton said. against the tax of 50 cents on shingles, now on the free list. The Payne-Aldrich duty was 60, and deal- ers, he said, had declared that any tax over 30 per cent was prohibitive. Attention was called to provisions of the bill repealing the Canadian reciprocity agreement, which has been operative since 19i0. The Presi- dent, under the new powers given him by the measure, is able, however, to proceed immediately after passage of the bill toward the making of new reciprocal trade arrangements with any country with whom such an agreement would be profitable to the United States.
