Washington d. C., oct. 23�?the 42 to 34 vote by which the Senate progressive democratic coalition wrote the debenture plan into the pending Tariff Bill was cited Here today by that group As proof that it is now thoroughly cemented and is in a position to make further drastic changes in the Bill before to passage. The vote which was considered surprising in View of its strengthening of the three vote margin by which the Senate last upheld the debenture plan on june la is also interpreted As a gesture of Defiance toward the House on which administration leaders depend to strike out the debenture clause and to reinsert the flexible provision when the measure goes to conference. Dakotas Back debenture of equal importance the debenture test is the second direct Rebuff the coalition group has Given president Hoover since the Tariff debate began. Both South Dakota senators voted with the majority in passing the amendment offered by senator Norris neb. As it now stands the Bill is loaded with two anti administration features adding to the tangle which must be straightened out before the regular session in december and seriously jeopardizing the Hawley Smoot Bill if the White House and the progressive bloc stand by their guns. The first action which brought these two at loggerheads was the flexible Tariff provision which gives the chief executive the authority to raise and lower Tariff rates without congressional Sanction. This Power now Legal under the Tariff act of 1922, was considerably strength ened by the House in the Hawley Bill. The Senate coalition however has succeeded in adding an amendment to the Bill which strikes out altogether the Power of president Hoover to raise and lower duties. Under the present amendment his sole function is to make a report to Congress carrying recommendations of the revision Tariff commission with Congress passing upon the Wisdom of the recommendations. Progressives in Saddle the second came last week when the unusually Large vote inserted the debenture into the Tariff Bill with such marked Force that it will probably be impossible for administration leaders to move for its reconsideration unless unforeseen splits occur when the rate schedules Are brought under consideration this week. Opinion Here agrees that the progressive bloc is in the Saddle As the debate Over the really controversial features approaches. These Are the schedules on agricultural and manufacturing products written higher than Ever before by the House and practically retained on that level by the Senate finance committee. The extent to which the coalition will re write these schedules is it is generally believed that it will easily get Che additional raises on agricultural products which it is demanding. Senator Brookhart and senator frasier the two members of the group assigned specially to the agricultural schedules have drafted More than too amendments calling for agricultural increases most of which will be adopted without considerable debate it is believed. To attack Industrial rates the results of a sweeping attack on the manufacturing rates is less easy to predict the progressives however after their marked victories on the administrative features of the Bill will make a determined attack on the a High Industrial schedules a predicting that their Success will be carried Over into this Field.
