The Senate Finance Committee, led by Simmons, rewrites the Underwood tariff bill, trimming duties on many agricultural products and metals while keeping wool free from December and sugar from May.

The latest amendments protect constitutional validity and outline noninterference with the rest of the act if parts are struck down. Democrats say the revision lowers average duties by about 10 percent and increases projected revenue by 5 to 6 million dollars, while groundwork for income tax administration faces civil service concerns.
