Tariff Bill Aims at Regulation and Revenue Shifts
The tariff measure creates a customs court of appeals to centralize rulings and appoints a president to sit in Washington. It lowers corporation tax to 1 percent and aims to regulate rather than merely raise revenue. The law imposes higher duties on luxury imports and includes drawbacks to support exports. Taft notes consolidation has changed competition and sees the bill reviving competition in business.
