What Bill Contains. “*A careful study of this bill in con- nection sting conditions here and abroad” Senator Simmons said “mak it perfectly clear that it was framed with a view of maintaining to enable the in- stries which it protects to further vance these excessively high prices hout incurring the risk of foreign competition. “*A comparison of the rates imposed s bill with those in the Payne- Aldrich bill will show that upon the basis of the price of products during the two periods-—the only basis comparison of equivalent ad valorems —the proposed rates applied to pres- ent import prices average from 40 to 50 per cent higher than the aver- age Payne-Aldrich rates for any year during the life of the act.” “T think there can be no doubt” he added, “that the potential rates of this bill are almost if not quite double those of the present law."” Violates Protoction. Senator Simmons asserted that “pule manifestly adopted and lowed"” by the finance committee in fixing rates ‘violates the theory or principle of protection heretofore ad- ted or proclaimed by the cham- pions of protection, including the re- publicgn party in this country, and with the super-added rate making powers conferred upon the president, makes rate fixing as much a matter of political and personal patronage as e distribution of federal office: Powers T'or President. Proposals in the bill under which the executive could change classifica- tions or forms of duty and increase or decrease rates were declared by the North Carolina senator to clothe “the president with legislative powers such were never herctofore conferred pon any aflministrative officer in this country or any other Anglo-Saxon country and which if conferred by the parliament of Fngland upon the king and his ministers would under their summary method, result in an instant overthrow of the government.” Three Facts of Bill, Senator Simmons said the bill was “based primarily on three erroneous nmptions of fact: “Phat present importations are ex- cessive and a menace to the business of the country. “That the home selling export selling price of foreign merchandise is much lower than the selling price of like or comparable domestic products that much higher rates of duty than those of the pres- ent law are needed to bring about fair and competitive conditions. “That the export price of foreign merchandise as found in the investi- gations and report of the Reynolds commission based upon such selling prices in August, 1921, has not chang- ¢d since that time and are the same the for- 80 today Says Bill A Danger. gumming up his address which cov- 40 typewritten pages Senator Simmons declared the tariff bill was “fraught with more danger to the people of the country and the institu- tions under which we live than any bill which ever crossed the threshold of this chamber.” ered IRISH LEADER KILLED.
