SEVENTY-FIFTH YEAR NO. 43 STERLING, ILLINOIS, TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1929 PRICE FIVE CENTS FALL IS FATAL TO WOMAN IN AIR DERBY OFT ARM MUCH Provisions of Eepublican Members of Committee Made Public Tuesday WASHINGTON The rate schedules tentatively approved by the republican tariff miners of the senate finance committee were out in tbe open for the first time Tuesday, and were promptly made the subject of sharp criticism from both democratic and republican independent quarters. Showing about 360 changes written into the schedule voted by tbe boose, the schedules were turned over to the democratic members of the committee to enable them to make their preliminary study of the measure in preparation for tbe debate which is to begin in the senate after it is reported September 4. The republican commltteemen, meanwhile, turned their attention to the controversial administrative provisions of the house bill, which contains severe opposition the senate. The changes disclosed In the rate schedules include both increases and reductions in comparison with the imposts voted by the house.

greatest number of reductions in any schedule is proposed in that affecting chemicals, oils, and paints, and the greatest number of increases, in the agriculture schedule. In the chemical schedule, the senate committee republicans favor 67 changes, including some increases, and in the agricultural schedule, 70, including a few reductions. Other Changes. In the other schedules, 36 changes up or down are proposed affecting earths, earthenware and glassware: 51 affecting metals; eight, wood and manufactures of wood; nine, sugar; four, tobacco; one, spirits; 20 cotton manufactures; seven, flax, hemp and Jute; 33, wool; five rayon; S3. papers and books, ant 34, sundries.

The reductions include the cents. moid, rate on Cuban raw sugar, on which tbe house voted 2.41 cents and the Fordney-McCumber law provides 1.7ft—* subject which Js likely' to occupy the senate through many days of bitter controversy The proposed increase to $1.50 from $103 1-2 a ton in the. rate on pig iron is another item likely to arouse considerable discussion, together with the 3-cent reduction in boose rate on raw wool, restoring it to the. present duty of 31 cents pound, and various changes in the wood schedule. Tbe democratic attack on the republican commltteemen's rates began promptly.

Senator King of Utah said they were "as unsatisfactory as tbe house bill." while Jouett Bhouse chairman of the democratic national committee's executive committee, declared they showed that the "motivating principle" behind them was "a simple determination to enable special groups of industrialists to cash in on then- last year's campaign contributions." The movement to confine the tariff revision chiefly to agricultural products was emphasized by Senators Thomas, democrat, Oklahoma, and Borah, republican, Idaho. Thomas announced plans to offer a resolution to eliminate all schedules in the committee bill not relating to agriculture which, if adopted, would require the sponsors ol changes in other sections to propose specific amendments and "make a case" for them on the floor Borah said he would either support tbe Thomas resolution or introduce one of bis own along similar lines. A resolution he introduced prior to the summer recess aimed at the same objective, was defeated by only one vote. 431 CHANGES IN KATES Chair- fineaee committee Tuesday estimated the total revenue likely to be derived fawn the tariff rates proposed by that committee as as compared with under the house bill and under existing lav. This would be a reduction of approximately $40,500,000 compared with the boose bill but an increase of about $90,000,000 over customs from the present Fordney- UcCumber act.
