Tariff Makers Take Up the Free List Section.
INCLUDES SAME ARTICLES
Measure to Be Pushed by Democrats at the Extra Session of Congress Will Be the Same as That Vetoed by President Taft In 1911.
Washington, Feb. 3.--The free list of the tariff furnished the concluding chapter of hearings before the house committee on ways and means. The free list and the administrative features of the Payne-Aldrich law were under fire.
In 1911 congress passed and President Taft vetoed the free list bill framed by Chairman Underwood's committee. That measure proposed to put on the free list agricultural implements, cotton bagging, cotton ties, leather, boots and shoes, fence wire, meats, cereals, breads, flour, timber lumber, sewing machines, salt and other articles. President Taft's veto was on the ground that the bill would diminish the revenues by from $10,000,000 to $14,000,000.
Democratic leaders now figure on putting on the free list at the coming extra session substantially the same articles that were on the original free list two years ago.

The house committee on ways and means concluded hearings on the free list of the tariff and administrative features of the Payne-Aldrich law. In 1911, congress passed a free list bill framed by Chairman Underwood's committee, which President Taft vetoed due to revenue loss of $10,000,000 to $14,000,000. The bill proposed adding agricultural implements, cotton bagging, cotton ties, leather, boots and shoes, fence wire, meats, cereals, breads, flour, timber lumber, sewing machines, salt and other articles to the free list. Democratic leaders plan to push substantially the same articles at the coming extra session.
