Section 22 Killed by Attorney General Ruling
The attorney general’s opinion declares section 22 of the tariff law inoperative, holding it does not impose a 10 percent discriminating duty on foreign goods imported in bond via Canada or British bottoms. The ruling disappoints American vessel owners and transcontinental rail interests who argued the law aimed to discriminate against Canadian railroads and foreign ships.
