Oil By-Products Caught In Paynes Tariff Trap
Washington dispatch reports Standard Oil interests were protected in the Payne tariff debate as petroleum products beyond crude and paraffin faced a 20 percent duty under the trap-basket section. Critics say a Norris amendment kept oil by products off the free list, enabling the higher levy. The move prompted calls to recall the Payne bill from the Senate and restore the intended oil protections.
