TARIFF BILL IS
WORKING WELL
vVashington, April 3.—The L’nderwood
oimmons tariff act went into effect six
months ago today and present indica
tions are that it will not reduce cus
toms revenues any more than was esti
mated in Congress at the time of the
passage, it was quallfledly said today.
According to the treasury's March
statement customs revenues amounted to
about $26,000,000. which is about $1,500,000
.'ess than the Payne-Aldrfch law' produced
in March, 1918.
This was a marked increase over Feb
ruary, when revenues fell over $10,000,000,
compared to the same oionth in 1913.
An average decrease In customs reve
nues for the six months the Fnderwoort
Sinmons act has been in operation is
placed at about $4,000,000 but officials were
confident today that that would be re
duced in the coming six months.
The annual reduction was estimated nt
i- Lout $45,000,000.
Despite reports of an unexpected fail
ure of Income tax return to provide the
revenue necessary to offset the difference
in customs, officials wfere inclined today
to believe that the government would
find its original expectations realized by
coastwise trade. j

The committee later met in executive
s< sslon. and Representative I sen root of

which the Secretary of the Interior tem
porarily would retain as royalty part of
the oil produced and hold it until pat
ents were issued or refused for the lands.
This would meet the objection that un
der present conditions the oil is being
drained bv holders of adjacent lands,
including the Standard Oil company and
the Southern Pacific railroad.
