Had the legislature remained in session this afterncon Governor Mickey would have transmitted to it a communication on the Dietrich land-leasing bill, now pending before the national congress. He will transmit the document tomorrow. This comes from the governor's own office. It is pretty well understodd that the gov- ernor will not mcke apy favorable recom- mendations for this bill. He will not, it is understood, ask the legislature to memori- alize_congross to pass the bill, as he has been ‘petition®d to do by the Nebraski dél- egation in the nationalhowse and senate.

The house bill carried a uniform reduction of the tariff on Phill'ppine goods imported into the United Statcs, making the rate only per cent of the rates.impased by the Dingley law. The senate committee amended the bill o as to provide for the admission ot all Philippine-produced articles freé of duty excepl sugar and to- bacco, and on these two commodities fixed the tariff at 60 per cent of the Dingley schedules. This change was made to meet the objections of the sugar and tobacco producers of this country, who have clatmea that a duty rate of only 25 per cent on | those articles would result in ruinobs com- petition. The committée also decided to recom- mend an amendment to the bill admitting into the Philippines all material used in the construction and equipment of steam and ‘electric rallroads duty free for the next five vears, at the discretion of the commission.
