Senator Morgan Proposes Amendment on Philippine Tariff Bill
In Washington on February 1 Senator Morgan of Alabama argued that the Philippine tariff bill as written would not meet constitutional requirements without his amendment for an executive department to control the islands. He urged free trade principles and noted export duties are forbidden, and he warned the bill could violate uniform taxation if adopted as is. The session also discussed raising federal judicial salaries, with no action taken, and adjourned at 4:25 p.m. until Monday.
