PART OF KONA FATE OF mi INK IN WITH ITS PLAN jurists POWER Democratic Committee Members Settle Program (STlnl Ilu I le tin Cable.) WASHINGTON. D. C. Mav 15. The Democratic members of the Senate Finance Committee have decided to support a plan for a thirty-three and one-third per cent reduction in the sugar tariff, elimination of the differential on refined, and the removal of the Dutch standard. C. S. ALBERT. - According to a cablegram received from the II II 1 1 e 1 1 n's Washington correspondent. .Mr. Albert, on Monday, the Itepiibllcan members of the com mittee have agreed to support Senator Lodge's resolution iiholMiliig the dif ferential and the Dutch standard, but will nut go further In sugar tariff revision. The action of the Deinocru tie members was predicted from Wash ington by Correspondent Albert a few duys ago. The proposal to remove the differential on refined mid to abolish the Dutch standard does not affect Hawaiian Miliar to any appreol.ilile extent. A cut of a third In the tariff on ruw sugar would be u cut'of Cfi cents a hun dred pounds In round llgures. The tariff Is $1.68 1-3 per hundred, and with ii third lopped on would be approximately II. 1! a hundred pounds, the pres ent full duty on !G degrees centrifugal, which Is the lla(l.ili iiiullty, being 1.C85 cents per pound.
