Senate Passes the 1922 Tariff Bill
The administration tariff act of 1922 passed the Senate by a 48 to 25 vote after four months of debate and heads to conference. Borah of Idaho opposed. Broussard Kendrick and Ransdell supported. Sutherland of West Virginia voted for. Elkins was absent. Absent or paired senators would have changed the outcome. Cummins announced the conference with McCumber Smoot McLean Simmons Jones as members. House Republicans chose to send the measure to conference under a special rule. The fight centers on American valuation and the senate plan as a substitute.
