Senate tariff feud and House leadership fears over vote rule
Senator Elkins condemns Finance Committee hearings on the tariff bill without minority Democrats. House leaders push a high ad valorem rate above the Dingley bill and seek a voting ban rule to pass it. A two percent tax on corporate dividends draws general support, while President Taft faces skepticism from stockholding senators.
