California lemon tariff battle heats Washington hearing
California lemon growers press Ways and Means to keep the 1 1/4 cent per pound tariff, arguing Sicilian imports and higher labor costs justify protection. The piece reviews historical duties from 1790 to 1912, noting shifts under multiple presidents and parties, and cites California’s struggle to meet national demand while Sicily competes.
California Lemons Demand Tariff Protection Fortified
The article argues for maintaining a lemon tariff to protect California growers from foreign competition. It cites rising production from 30 million pounds in 1904 to 150 million pounds by 1909, notes profitability in Limoneira and other firms, and quotes industry figures asserting that a tariff of 1.5 to 4 cents per pound stabilizes prices and supports both producers and consumers. It references the 1907 Powell report on lemon returns and emphasizes the need for a duty to sustain the American industry.
