Payne Tariff Bill Reaches Final Conference Agreement
The Payne tariff bill outcome ends a prolonged legislative battle. Taft pressed for free hides and crude petroleum, while Sereno Payne and Aldrich steered the conference toward higher duties on hides and leather products. The bill reshapes cotton and metal schedules, lowers iron ore and pig iron rates, and seeks a corporate tax despite constitutional concerns, with party leaders wary of defeats and calls for further sessions.
