The question of Ameri- can valuation, which the house approved | as the basis of assessing ad valorem duties, may be referred to the house for a special vote, Representative Fordney having announced that he would hold out for this plan in conference and let the house settle the issue. The general expectation at the capitol is that the kouse will rced.e accepting the senate foreign valuation plan with the so-calied flexible —tarlff provisions under which rates might be raised or lowered by. the president to meet changing ecco- imomic conddtions. The frenzied application of high duties devised to increas: the cost of-living was | carried a step further Saturday when the | senate. by a vots of 48 to 25, passed the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill. Only three republican senators display- ed the ccurage to oppose the measure. g a Ransdell (La.). who got very high rates for their sugar producing constituents, and Kendrick (Wyo.), who got the rates he wanted on wool. The bill was ordered sent to conference to veconcile the changes made by the senate after the measure left the house thirteen monghs ago. The house pro- gram is to Send the measure to confer- ence on Tuesday. - How long it will take to obtain an agreement is a matter of speculation. Estimatas of tariff experts immediately after the bill passed the senate were that the ‘duties imposed will mean between $3.000,000,000 and $3,500.000,000 a year more on commodities sold to the con- sumer. At a low_estimate this means $30 { for every man, woman and child in the { country or for an average family of five an increased annual expense of $150. | SEAPLANE SAMPAIO CORREIA ANCHORED OFF PALM BEACH West Palm.
