TARIFF REVISION GOES THROUGH UPPER HOUSE SENATE PASSES THE DEMOCRATIC BILL. Majority Piles Up 44 for It To 37 i Tn /lin/w T AlilC_ >i?aiu?i) luviuuiug 111 v juvuis" iacians. Washington, Sept. 9.?The democratic tariff revision bill passed the senate at 5.43 o'clock this afternoon amid a burst of applause that swept down from crowded galleries and found its echo on the crowded floor of the senate. Its passage was at tended with, surprises in the final moments of the voting when Senator La toilette (republican) cast his vote _wit!h the democrats and was joined a few moments later by Senator Poindexter (progressive). Until the names of Senators La Follette and Poindexter were called no one knew definitely the stand they would take and their votes were greeted with applause. President Wilson tonight expressed great gratification over the end of the long struggle in the senate. Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee, who piloted the hill through the finance committee, the democratic caucus and the senate, predicted its passage would bring immediate stimulus to the commercial .ife of the country. Cuts House Elites. As it passed the senate ihe tariff ';ill represents an average reduction of more than 4 per cent, from the rates of the original bill that passed he house and nearly 2S per cent from the rates of existing laws. In many important places the senate has changed the bill that passed 'he house and a conference committee of the two houses will begin working Wednesday or Thursday to adjust differences. Leaders of both houses f'Vof r?r\-r\ will :/i CUILl/ Cli CL u LUt vunitx ?? in vvu sume less than two weeks' time. The senate named its members of *he conference committee as soon as the bill passed.

The final struggle began at 4 o'clock "hen under a previous agreement "otes began on the pending amendments. During the closing hours of debate Senator La Follette had become the centre of interest, proposing j final amendments on the cotton and agricultural schedules and discussing! ome features of the bill he deemed 'avorable. It was nearly 5.30 o'clock when the vice president put the bill upon its passage. _ The roll call proceeded deliberately until the clerk called "La Follette." The Wisconsin senator, seated in the 'ront row, hesitated a moment. His ^ead was bowed and resting on his hand. He leaned forward a trifle and vigorously answered, "Aye." Instantly applause broke from the railleries and senators on the democratic side joined in iand clapping. TVhen the name of Senator Poindex"er, the only progressive^enator. was v reached and he had contributed his--ote for the bill the applause was i-~newed. Tonight Senator La Follette had a few words to say of his vote, after "iany democratic senators visited his <7esk and shook his hand. Had to Tote for It. "I realize what I did was a political 'acrifice but that something within ie compelled me to vote for the bill, "he tariff act of 1909 was but little hort of a crime; the bill passed today ' 3 not a democratic measure but is a protective measur^. Give the demorats time and they will put everything on a free trade basis, but they ' ave not done it in this bill." Senator Poindexter said of his vote: ** IV . X _ X :rc Vill "i voted ior tne senate ianu um because it is a whole lot better bill ian the Payne-Aldricb law now in 'Dree. Furthermore, it contains an icome tax wlhicn we have been trying o get for 20 years." When the vote had been announced ' enator Gallinger of New Hampshire, ^ader of the minority, congratulated Senator Simmons "for his courteous, indly and considerable manner," inhe conduct of the debate. "The bill itself is bad," he ?aid, but its management haa been in -TP-r Trav frpditn"h]p to the majority r.uQ eminently fair to the minority." Just "before the voting on amendments began Senator La Follette 'elded a few minute? of his time i Senator Thornton of Louisiana, - ho was about to desert bit ?olleaox tfn? roll * Hard to Bolt. "It is hard for me to vote against this bill," said the Louisiana senator. "It is made a party measure by the party with which I cast allegiance 46 years ago. It is harder still that I am forced to vote against it because my own party seeks now to strike a vital blow against the great j sugar industry of my State.'' I The senator said he was charged with a duty from his State higher than any duty owed to the democratic party aDd voting against the bill, he continued, was keeping his pledge. Income tax amendments by Senators Bristow and Ca Follette, similar to those they introduced several days ago, were defeated. An amendment by Senator Gallinger that proposed to send the whole tariff question "over until December, 1914, and submit the bill to a popular referendum next fall also was defeated. One important change made on the recommendation of the finance comittee gives the secretary of the treasury power to censor all imported moving picture films. Senator James, acting for the finance committee, obtained the adoption of an amendment modifying the provision of the bill that authorizes J- X * XL.

Washington, Sept. 9.?The tariff bill as it passed the senate today retained i the principal house provisions, including ffee sugar and free raw wool, but revised other rates still further downiward. The average ad valorem rate in the bill is now approximately 26 per : cent, a decrease of 28 per cent from | existing rates and nearly 4 per cent j lower than the rates of the house I bill. ~ 4 r* 4- A fV?/"\ V?

That is a point disputed by majority Leader Underwood of the house. The senate made these othef important changes: Harder on Incomes. Lowered the normal exemption from the 1 per cent income tax from $4,000 to $3,000" for single persons, with exemptions for wives and . dependent children; exempted the incomes of mutual insurance comDanies which revert to the benefit .of stockholders; increased graduated surtax on large incomes to a maximum of 6 per cent on those more than $500,000; exempted incomes of municipalities derived from operation of public Utility rw or?i3 j-iVio -n Qri-irl +V| Q fo from Tvll J) f UltTd auu vnau^tu HIV/ uutV/ ii VIM ii^awvw the tax shall be computed for first iyear from January 1 ;to March 1, 1913.
