Proceedings in Brief on Tariff Bill Passage
Congress stands for a sweeping tariff bill set to take effect March 1 1910. The plan would empower the press to levy 25 percent ad valorem on all schedules against nations discriminating against the United States, with possible 26 percent retaliation. Proponents push for the measure while others warn of deficits and debate an income tax and corporate tax changes. Negotiations and committee actions are expected as lower house gears up for continued consideration starting July 22.
