“TRICK TARFF BLL = PUNCTURED IN SENATE DEBATE Smoot Admits Measure Would Add $16,000,000 to People’s Sugar Bill. (Bpecial from & Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. — The | @ffort to put over the Fordney Emere- ency Tariff BIN is breaking down tr Whe Senate, largely as the reeul' ‘of the opposition aroused by The Byvening World's expose of its numer- ous “jokers.” It is being borne home to the backers of this scheme thet the country will not stand for some- thing evon worse than the Payne: Aldrich bill. The plan to lay heavy tribute on the American consumer ‘under the pretense of affording “pro- tection to our industries” is doomed to failure. ‘The Fivenine World's showing up of the trick nature of this lerisiation ‘and its purnoer to lay a heavy tax on the back of every consumer for the benefit of the manufacturers and others, with Its sham pretense of benefiting the producers, has been read by Senators and Representatives and the facta disclosed are being thrown In the teeth of the proponents of the “unemergency” bill. Even #0 good a protectionist as Benator Smoot of Utah admitted on the Senate floor that the Immediate effect of the sugar section, if the bill becomes law, would be to boost the price of sugar at least 3 cents, It! Would, he naid, add $16,000,000 to the fountry’s sugar bill. “But.” he added, “it would go into the Treasury of the United States." The Utah Senator, coming from one of the great bee! @ugar States, disclosed his finesse when he said that he had voted against the sugar amendment in com- _ mittee. He is now supporting it on ‘the floor. Senator Pat Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi, who is leading the Sault on the bill, produced a Republi- can campaign pamphlet entitled - “Why 25-cent Sugar,” which was | given wide circulation during the Presidential gampaign by the Repub- Mean National Committee, Here the strategy of the Repubii- ean leaders was disclosed. “I would like to call attention,” A HE ENTIRE MAIN FLOOR sald Senator Smoot, “to the fact that is was a Democratic Senator who offered the sugar amendment.” “The reason the sugar amendment was offered by a Democrat was be- cause the Republicans were smart enough and adroit enough to have it presented by a Democratic Senator after the Republicans had pledged themselves to bring down the price of sugar,” retorted Harrisom Senator Simons here interrupted to emphasize that the author of the Gay sugar amendment had always disagreed with his party on that partioular schedule, and had voted with the Republicans whenever the question of @ tariff on sugar had arisen in the past, Another joker was brought to light by Senator Harrison in discussing the wool section, “Here is your joker In the wool section,” eaid he. “It is worse than the provisions of the Payne-Aldrich we The Missiasipp! Senator then ex- posed the trick language of the wool THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, Y921.~ feotion, reading from this paragraph as follows: “Wool, commonly known as cloth- ing wool, including hair of the camel. angora goat, and alpaca, but not such wools as are Commonly known as car- pet wools; unwashed, 18 cents per pound; washed, 80 cents per pound; seoured, 45 cents per pound. Un- washed wools shall be considered such as shall have been shorn from the animal without any cleaning: washed wools shail be considered such as have been washed w.th water only om the animal's back, or on the skin: wools washed in any other manner than on the animal's back or on the kin shall be considered as scoured wool, On wool and hair provided ‘or In this paragraph, whch is sorted or increased in value by the rejection of any part of the original fleece, the duty shall be twice the duty to which it would otherwise be subject, but not more than 45 cents per pound.” Scnator Harrison then went into detail to explain how, in Australis and New Zealand, in taking the fleece from the sheep that the neck and legs ia not touched, which would, im the language of the bill, amount w “rejection of part of the original Red Broadway at Senet NEW YORK:* 85 West 42d St. uctid The Most-Talked-of Footwear Sale in New York HIGH SHOES— In exctustee, new Miltary and Louis hee! models in wanted and smart combinations, LOW SHOES— In widest cariety of mew pumps and artistic strap effects: also walking Oxfords in all the popular 478 Fulton St. 3th St. 1052 Flatbush Av. $ and would mewn a doubling condemn country, futy on we er for Ll cents ool from Aus- Zealand experts tell tting the wool is {ifferent from that used In this coun- try.

We must in these abnormal times look at legislation in the proper way and take care of all the people by refusing to give certain advantages to some in oder that they may rob others. “1 would not mind voting on this bill now.
