Underwood tariff plan aims to cut sugar duties and shift income tax load
The completed Underwood tariff bill, to replace the Payne law, is being reviewed at the White House. It forecasts lower tariff revenue with a major sugar duty removal cut of about 50 million dollars, and targets a net income tax raise around 100 million, offsetting customs losses. Revenue totals for 1913 to 1914 are debated, with Treasury experts predicting larger deficits than expected. The bill remains secret until caucus, with no authoritative statements until then.
