La Follette Urges Taft To Veto Tariff Bill
Senator La Follette sent a statement to President Taft based on U S Bureau of Statistics data showing the tariff bill raises duties well above the Dingley act. He notes the increases apply to $149 716 619 of imports while reductions affect $96 269 619. The measure would leave 64 65 percent of imports under current duties and raise overall duties by 37 percent on average. He argues the conference can lower rates below the lowest House level and cites past precedent in the Philippine tariff debate.
