THE MAXIfiUM AND MINIMUM PRINCIPLE Strongly Favored by the President—It Is Believed Thi Plan Will Be Finally Agreed-Upon—Workings of fl‘le Minimum and Maximum Idea—President and Chair- ran Aldrich in Conference. ‘Washington, April 2.—President Taft was informed today of the senate pro- gramme for the administration of the]be 20 per cent. new tariff bill. It provides that a min- imum tariff shall apply to all countries for one year At the end of that time the maximum rates will go into effect against all countries, which, in !he opinfon of the president, are mot giv- ing the United States their best tariff rates. Favored by the President. The president understood to strongly favor this idea of the appli- cation of the maximum and minimum rinciple, and it is belioved that it will B the plan finally agreed upon. The plan of administering the minimum and maximum rates in the house bill as it now stands is said to be more indefinite and less effectlve than the one proposed by the eenate finance committee. ‘ Conference With Chairman Aldrich. Prior to_the cabinet meeting today President Tuft had a conference with Chairman Aldrich of the senate finance committee and Secretary of the Treas ury MagVeagh, Senator Aldrich assui ed the president that the commlittee is making most satisfactory progress with the tariff bill, and said there would be little or no delay In taking the matter up in the senate following a vote in the house, The administrative features of the senate bill then were taken up for discussion, which will be resumed at the White House next week. Senator Aldrich left for New York today, and the finance committee will not_meet during his absence. Definite Assurance Received. There have been more or less ap- parently authentic reports current from time to time to the effect that the ma- jority sentiment In the senate was op- posed to the minimum and maximum principle as enunciated in the Payne bill. President Taft has not shared this belief, and today he received def- infte assurance 4s to the correctness of his position, when Senator Aldrich out- lined to him his own position and that of the majority of the finance com- mittee as to the plan of administration to be provided for in the senate meas- ure, which has further the support of & aupreme coutr decision as to its con- ¢ The difference between the minimum and maximum rates will 1t is planned that for a period of nine months, or one year, the minimum rats, which will be fixed as the protective rate, shall apply to all countries without distinction ‘or dis- crimination. At the end of this period the maximum rates automatically will go Into effect against all countries which, in the opinion of the executive, are not giving to the United States their most favored nation clauses. In other words, it will require affirmative action by the presidnet, after a thor- ough inquiry, to give to any natian the benefit of the minjmum American rate. If in the general inquiry which will be made during the “probationary” perlod, the president finds that certain nations are discriminating against the United States, he will merely refrain from is- suipg ‘a proclamation regarding these otniries, and the maximum rate henceforth will apply to them. Power of Inquiry and Deoision. This plan gives to the executive com- plete power of inquiry and decision. The supreme ocurt of the United States in a case involying the comsti- tutionality of the McKinley tarift act decided that congress by similar meth- od of administration was in no wise delegating its authority to the execu- tive. Congress will fix absolute rates, which will apply under circumstances which it prescribes, and legislative dis- cretion will rest with the president. Plan to Prevent Undarvaluation. stitutionality. Another maiter discussed at the White House conference today, and which will be eaken up_egain mnext week, had to do with what plan shall be adopted in the administrative sec- tion of th w bill to absolutely pre- vent undervaluation. The president believes with the treasury department officials that gross frauds have been practiced upon the government in; the past under existing methods, and con- slde of supreme importance that a fixed standard of valuation should be preseribed. President Taft Seems Satisfied. President Taft seems more satisfied just now than at any time as to the tariff outlook, especially in the senate, where grace disasters have been pre- dicted. LEITER AND HOADLEY MUST PAY $92.485.65 To New York Firm of Stock Brokers , for Mone; Lost. New York, April 2.—A jury in th supreme court late today decided Joseph Leiter and Joseph H. Hoadley men well known in financial circles must pay Frankiin Scott & company, stock brokers, the sum of $92,1%5.65, the money lost by the firm, with in- terest, es a result of an order given svhen ‘the defendants, with Cyrus Field Juéson, were in a pool in the Interest of the International Power com,any wiock. Mr. Judson was also a defend- ant in the sult and the jury at first included him in its verdiot. ~Attention was called to the fact that there had been a verdict against Judson in a evious suit and the finding was changed so as to apply only to Messrs, Hoadley and Leiter, The trial of the suit, which was the third in the case, has engaged the court since March 1. It attracted much pul;- Tic attention a few days ago when Mr. Hoedley, in testifying, charged that he paid Edmund L. Mooney, counsel for the plaintiffs, the sum «{ $2,500 on Mr, Mogney's representation that he conld #top the publication in a local news- geper of articles that were deemed rimental to Internatiomal Power eompany stock. Mr. Leiter also testi- fled 1o thie alleged tramsaction. PAYNE TARIFF BILL IN HOUSE. Exactly Opposite Views Expressed Re- garding Protection, Washington, April 2—That the Payne bill was fided with riotous im- perfeotions, was a false pretense, was Aesigned to cover up the extrava- ganoes of the republican administra- tion, that it did not redeem party pledwes, and that it sounded the death ell of the domimant party, were some of the oriticisms passed upon the mezsure by the d.mecrats in the hous> ~today.

From the republitans came sugges- tions of ¢ permanent tarift commission and while all of them supported the bill in general, none appeared entirely satiefied with it. @thers who spoke on {he measure were Messrs. Moore of Penneyivania, Young of New York, Lyndbergh of Minnesota, Bowers of Missisippl, Langley of Kentucky, Covington of Maryland, Burke of Penn- evivania, Townsend and Hamilton of Michigan, Morse of Wisconein, “ullop of Indiana, Copp of Wisconsin and Chandler of Mississippl.
