Tariff Bill Finally E
Gets Through Congress
Grundy Billion Dollar Tariff Bill
To Get Immediate Signature
of President Hoover ^
The Smoot-Hawley tariff bill, with
its increased duties on sugar, shoes,
lumber, lament, brick and nearly
2,000,000 other products, has been
passed fey Congress.
It now awaits the approvAl of
President Hoover, who is confidently
expected to sign it within a few
days.. The new law will become
effective at midnight following its
signature by the Presitanti
Legislative action on . the measure
was completed late Saturday when
the House adopted the finial form of
the conference report. The vote was
222 to 123.
The Senate finally approved the
measure Friday by the two-vote
margin of 44 to 42.
The House margin of 69 votes was
somewhat short of what the Repub
lican leaders had expected. Mrs.
Ruth . Pratt, RepublcAn, New York,
surprised them by voting against the
bill.
Upon announcing the vote Speaker
Longworth affixed his signature to
the meausure and arranged to send
it to the Senate, so Vice-President
Curtis may sign it and have it
enrolled Monday.
Th e performAnce was accompanied
by enthusiastic cheers and yells from
the. Republican side of the chamber,
while the Democrats sat silent.
While it is estimated that the new
tariff will impose an addition of a
billion dollars to the cost of living
in the United States, that is only
an estimate, and nobody knows just
how much the additional burden will
be.
Increases affecting North Carolina
include a five cent duty on turpen
tine and rosin, 20 per cent on ground
mica, 25 per cent on waste and scrap
mica. 35 per cent on tannic acid, five
cents a pound on tannic acid, 30 pel-
cent on manufacturers of pulp, 50 per
cent on rayon products, and increases
on cotton yarns of the finer grades.
