FLAT BATE ON FLOWER SEEDS? 



The ISciiatf finance eoininit 1 ec li;i- 

 been asked by Senator Towiisend. 01 

 Michigan, to inc-rea.se from 4 cents U> 

 10 cents per pound the rate on flowei 

 S(?cds. The 4-cent rate was provided li> 

 the House, but was stricken out by the 

 Senate finance committee {irior to re 

 porting the McCumber Fordiiey tarifl 

 bill to the Senate, leaving the rate oti 

 flower seeds the catch-all rate of twenty 

 per cent ad valorem. Seedsmen all over 

 the (country have been protesting 

 against an ad valorem duty, on the 

 ground that it would be extremely li.ird 



to ."idminister. Thej' liave asked for the 

 iiiijiosition of a flat rate of 10 cents per 

 ]>ound, claiming that the twenty per 

 cent rate will amount to an average of 

 11 cents per ]iound on the basis of im- 

 portations in jirevious years. 



Ill jireseiitiiig the case to tlie Senate 

 fin;iiice <'oiiimittee. Senator Towiisend 

 declared that the clieaper' seeils .-n-e not 



ini])Oited into the I'uited States. The 

 10 cents per pound duty would apjily 

 only on expensive v.arieties and rare 

 seeds. The coininittee does not look 

 with favor upon so high a rate .as Id 

 cents ]ier pound, pointing out that if 

 seeds sold at 4 cents per jiound the rate 

 would be prohibitive. ;itid if sold ;it $4 

 [lei- pound. In (M>nts would not .imount to
