Joker Found in Sugar Schedule and Tariff Debate
The Senate Finance Committee amended the Underwood tariff bill after discovering a Joker clause that would make all refined sugar dutiable at 2 cents per pound and nullify free sugar after three years. The change, urged by Senator Sheppard of Texas and Greenyville Chamber of Commerce, limits the provision to confectionery and excludes refined sugar from broad application. The panel also approved a separate amendment to exempt certain branches of manufacturers from the lower duties and continued work on rule changes pending full committee action.
