It has been decided that the tar

prbably 10 per cent, being taken off

The democrats are opposed to
President Taft's schedule plan by re^
vision. They believe that downward
revlaion can best be accomplished by
taking 10 per cent off of the present
scale of "duties.
This procedure they believe, will
not upset business conditions. At
the next session, for instance, they
might remove 10 per cent, of the du

The democrats are anxious to return
