TARIFF BILL IS
INTRODUCED IN HOUSE
Measure Would Increase Country's
Revenues from Customs to $300,'
000,000a Year—Inheritance Tax
Planned—Coffee on Free List
Waahlagton. The ways and
means committee of the house
a as begun consideration of the tariff
bill which was Introduced Wednesday.
The measure as It now stands would
increase the country's revenues from
customs to
9300.000.000
a year.
The senate committee on finance
also began informal consideration of
the measure. The probabilities are
that the house committee will have
only one sitting on the bill, that the
measure will be reported to the house
Immediately after it convenes to-day
and the debates will begin next Mon
day.
The meaaure, which was introduced
by Sereno Payne, chairman of the
committee, chairman of the ways
and means committee provides for an
Inheritance tax increased Internal
revenue tax on cigarettes a 940.000,
000 issue of Panama canal bonds an
Increased Issue of 9150,000,000 In
treasury certificates, and the imposi
tion of duties on a maximum and
minimum basis. Coffee, hides and
iron ore are on the free list boots and
ahoes, leather goods, steel and iron
products, lumber, wool shoddy, and

tion of these articles from America
The Inheritance tax provision of the
bill is similar to the New York state
law. It provides a tax of five per
cent, on all inheritances over 9500 that
are collateral lnheritancee or in which
strangers are the legatees. In oases
of direct Inheritance the taxes pre
scribed are: On 910.000 to 9100,000,
one per cent. on 9100.000 to 9500,000,
two per cent., and on those over 9500,
00. three per cent. It is estimated
that 930.000.000 annually will be de
rived from this tax.
Ends Foreign Trade Agreements.
The maximum and minimum pro
vision of the bill does away with the
necessity of continuing the foreign
trade agreements. The abrogation of
these is provided for In a section
which authorizes the president to
Issue notices of the termination of
these agreements within ten days aft
er the bill goes into effect. The
French agreement would therefore ter
minate immediately, while the Ger
man agreement would remain In force
for six months.
A provision in the bill is designed
to meet the conditions resulting from
the patent laws of Great Britain,
which requires that patentees must
manufacture their articles in Great
Britain. This provision applies the
same rules to patents taken out In
this country by aliens as applied to
Americans in the country of the aliens.
Drawback privileges are extended by
the bill and the method of valuatloa
on articles upon which the tariff Im
poses an ad valorem duty Is broad
ened for the purpose of preventing tho
practice of undervaluation.
Payne Explains Bill.
The following explanation of tha
form of the bill was made by Mr.
Payne:
"The new tariff bill la a minimum
and maximum tariff bill. The mini
mum rates of duty are contained in
the first section, and the free list for
the minimum rates Is In the second
section of the bill. The third section
contains tho maximum rates, which
are generally equal to the minimum
rates and 20 per cent, in addition
thereto and the articles on the free
list, in the transfer to the third sec
tion, bear a duty of 20 per cent, ad
valorem as a maximum rata The
maximum rate does not go Into effect
in any event until 60 days after the
passage of the ac'.. By the fourth
section the minimum rates are ap
plied to all good terms by way of tar
iff as that given to any other nation,
and the maximum rates are applied
to those countries which discriminate
against the trade of the United
States or fall to give the United
States tariff rates as favorable as
those given any other nation. This
section is self acting, making It the
duty of the executive to collect the
duties, whether minimum or maxi
mum, In accordance with the terms of
the bill, leaving It open to the courta
to decide upon the legality of tho
action.
"One problem that confronted tha
committee was the question of reve
nue. The business of all commercial
nations has been depressed for nearly
two years, and thus has affected our
commerce and greatly reduced our
revenues, so that we have a largo
deficit, but the revenues under the
present law are improving from month
to month, as business conditions arc
becoming better."
Changes by Payne BUI.
The statement gives the ratea la
the present law, the Dlngley tariff,,
and shows the changes that the Payna
bill proposes. The abstract of the bill
continues:
"The committee have transferred
some articles from the tree list to the
dutiable, and have Increased duties
on others for the sole purpose of In
creasing the revenue. Most of these
articles on which duties have been
increased are luxuries which havo
been Increased as follows:
"Perfumeries and toilet articles
from 50 to 60 per centum ad valorem
fancy soap, from 15 to 20 cents per
pound chicory root, raw, not dried,
from one cent to 2^ cents per pound
roasted from 2% cents to five cenu
per pound.
"Cocoa, crude, transferred from the
free list to the dutiable, at four centa
per pound prepared or manufactured,
Increased two cents on each classifi
cation except that valued above 39
cents per pound, which remains the
same. Ten per centum ad valorem is
also added to the duties assessed on
that valued between 15 and 35 cents
per pound. Powdered cocoa from live
to nine cents per pound.
American Phonographs In China.
American phonograph companies do
a big business In China. The most
famoua Chinese bands and palace sing
ers are engaged to make records. They
are brought from all parts of the em
pire to the three record-making cen
ters—Peking, Shanghai and Hong
kong. Here the apparatus for making
the master records is set up and the
recording done under the direction of
an expert. A record popular In the
north of China seldom is popular la
the south.
Rural Postwoman.
Of the endurance aad faithfulness of
women in the discharge of their duties
there is no question. Mrs. Elizabeth
Dickson, an "unestablished rural post
woman" going between Melrose and
Gattonslde, England, retired recently
after a period of service covering 30
years and eight months. During this
period she had never been late even
once on duty, and bad been absent on
sick leave but 14 days.
Every day of service she had walked
1314 mlleB, or 129,392 miles, a distance
equal to five times around the world-
Nautical and Land Miles.
In considering the speed of a steam
ship, it must be remembered that
knot, or nautical mile. Is a very differ
ent thing from a land mile. A mile is
5.280 feet, while a knot Is ,080 feet
and a fraction. Therefore, when a ves
sei makes 23.05 knots an hour, she
passes over very nearly 27 land miles,
