Randall's MENTAL Prospects of Tariff Reform in Congress
Washington Jan 7 Special The effort to cut surplus revenues without touching customs duties faces a likely test in the House as Democrats quietly mobilize. Randalls plan hinges on moving into committee of the whole to consider revenue bills with Morrison supporters staking votes to curb internal taxes. A debate looms. Morrison allies seek free listing for lumber salt or ores and a sugar duty cut could shift Louisiana votes against protectionists.

Senate Extends Mexican Treaty One Year and Eyes Extradition Pact
In a close executive session, the Senate extended the Mexican treaty life by one year from May 20. Senator Sherman highlighted a pending extradition convention with Great Britain aimed at curbing financier emigration to Canada. Several Senators objected to discussion now, delaying further executive business. The extradition treaty is expected to be ratified soon, possibly with modifications. Experts doubt any reciprocity or commercial treaties will be acted on during the current administration. A well-informed source says the President and Bayard oppose reciprocity until substantial revenue cuts are enacted by statute.
