Tariff actions and Taft visit mark capital day
In Washington on May 21 the tariff scene shifted as imported autos would face a duty equal to half their value under the new law while bicycles and autos get a 48 percent ad valorem duty per House provisions. A Senate measure set an electric light carbon duty at 65 cents per 100 feet, up 26 cents from current law. President Taft, upbeat after his two-day trip, returned to the White House and planned possible talks with cabinet members and callers, with Beverly, Massachusetts, as summer site option if tariff talks delay his departure. The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled in the Portland gateway case, mandating railroads honor well-through tickets from Seattle to Eastern points via Portland, aiding travelers in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
