Free List Tariff Bill Aims Major Duty Reforms
Washington April 7 The new Democratic tariff revision plan presented by Representative Underwood Alabama chairman of Ways and Means proposes removing duties on many food and clothing items while reducing rates on life necessities. It would tax incomes above 4000 dollars with a sliding scale up to 4 percent and impose a broad new levy on luxuries while maintaining protections for key industries. The sugar schedule would cut duties in stages with a brief immediate relief and eventual free sugar, and raw wool would become free along with many related textiles and goods. The plan targets lower consumer costs, shifts revenue to the income tax, and seeks reciprocity treaties to promote American export trade. The committee argues the reforms would balance relief for consumers with protection of American industry and avoid crippling monopolies. The bill faces intense debate within Democratic ranks as supporters argue for broader free-list moves and opponents push for concessions on sugar and wool.
