O votes not cast evening Republican Bureau the Albee building Washington d. Washington d. C., oct. 22�?the Senate will be asked to vote on the amendment of senator Walsh of Montana to the Tariff Bill under which wheat milled in Bond for Export would pay the full 42-cents a Bushel Tariff duty when imported it was Learned Here today. Immediately following the 39-25 defeat of the amendment it was Learned today senator Hawes Missouri Democrat received a wire from southwestern Millers endorsing the provision. This Telegram would have changed Many votes it is believed if it had been made Public earlier. 31 senators did no to vote contributing to the belief that another vote May reverse this decision and give growers of High protein Content wheat the Benefit of this Tariff is the fact that 31 senators failed to vote senator Walsh a opening discussion of the amendment also indicates this possibility. A the pending amendment a he said at the time a contemplates the a withdrawal of the privilege of exemption from the payment of duty on wheat imported and milled in Bond. A let Call attention to the Adan Taft the coast Miller has in the Purchase of Canadian wheat Over the Purchase of Montana wheat for instance. I spoke about the general difference arising by reason of the Tariff Between the Price of wheat in Canada and this country but in addition to that the shipper for instance from Lewistown mont., to Seattle Wash., pays an Export freight rate of 32 cents a Hundred but from the corresponding stations in Canada from amiss Alberta or from Cardel Saskatchewan the freight rate is Only 24 cents a difference of 8 cents per Hundred which amounts to about 5 cents a Bushel. Wheat can be transported More cheaply from Interior Canada to Victoria than from Interior Montana to Seattle. A from great Falls mont., to Seattle Wash., the freight rate is 32 cents per too while from Killem Vancouver an equal distance from the coast the freight rate is Only 23 cents. A from Havre mont., to Seattle. The freight rate is 32 cents and from Sedgewick Alberta a corresponding distance the freight rate is 23 cents. Sell wheat in Canada a from Helena mont., Home. To Seattle Wash., the rate is 31.5 cents and from Wilson Alberta an equal distance from Vancouver the freight rate is 22 cents a difference of 9 1-2 cents a Hundred the equivalent of about 7 cents a Bushel. So that it will be observed that it is a simple business proposition for the Seattle Mills to buy Canadian wheat rather than to buy Fontana wheat for such As they need of the High Grade wheat to Supply what they desire to ship to foreign supporting his colleague. Senator Wheeler charged that thousands of Montana Farmers Are hauling their wheat 150 Miles to sell it across the Canadian Border. In View of this vigorous attack and the fact that Only the Washingon and new York senators were strenuously opposed senator Hawes feels another vote May change the situation.
