Fpt. S Passed by senate yeaa.
44. nays. 37.
Sept. 11 House nonconcurs In sen
ate amendments, and bill goes to
conference.
Kept. 2 Conferees reach final adjustment.
After being; under consideration in
congress for nearly six months the
new tariff bill Is a law. and for the
first time in nearly a quarter of a cen
tury tbe country has a tariff law orig
inated by tbe Democratic party. The
Mil will doubtless be known lis the
Vnderwood Simmons bill, taking the
title from Chairman Underwood of the
vi aud means committee of the
house and Chairman Hmmotis of tbe
Ctianre committee of the senate.
The sponsors for the bill say that it
will raise ample revenue. Chairman
Simmons has been advised thnt it will
yield a surplus of at least flC.fHKUXm
a year above current expenses. If it
does not meet the expenses of running
the government the expenses will be
re J need.
One remarkable thing about thepres-
by striking out a duty of 10 cents a
bushel provided hy the nous? bill.
The house won a victory In the duty
on lemons and other citrus fruit when
the conference committee restored the
J classification based on the cubic feet
of the containers in which such prod
". j nets are Imported, which result in a
J i slight decrease of the duty.
! Tbe senate also lot in the struggle
I i over a proposed duty on bananas when
j j the conference committee struck out
tbe senate rate and restored bananas
to tbe free list of the house bill.
Wnnlen Schedule.
! I T. .... ttee ih
Very few changes were made in the! M)ik ,1..
woolen schedule. The senate was sus- Beans, per bu....
j tallied by the conference committee iu
I lta amendments fixing the dates when
I wool duties shall go into effect. Com
i promises were made by the conference
! committee between senate and house
rates, by which wool tops will bear a
duty of 10 per cent and yarns a duty
of IS per cent.
The senate sought to reduce the duty
on woolen blnnkets and to free list
blankets valued at not more than 40
rents a pound, but tbe conference com
mittee rejected the amendment, and
all blankets will bear duty at 2f per
cent ad valorem. The house rates of
iy per cent ad valorem on carpets and
rugs were adopted by the cor.ference.
A compromise was reached on the
paragraphs relating to angora goat
hair, alpaca, by which tbe hair will
pay a duty of 15 per cent; tops from
sucb hair. 25 per cent, and plushes, velr

The conference committee adopted
the action of tbe senate, placing ful
minates and gnnpowder on the free
list. There was a compromise on the
paragraph relating to furs, but general
ly the house rates were restored.
Tbe senate rates prevailed as to lace
; curtains and laces and the house won
by having restored the paragraph In
the house bill covering chamois skins
and glor leathers, by which the for
mer were made dutiable at 15 per cent,
and the latter at 10 per cent There
was a compromise on the glove sched
ule between senate and bouse rates
and the senate's action In free listing
harness, saddles and saddlery parts
ent tariff bill, a precedent, in fact Is """ ' coin
that the senate cnt the average rate mittee. although the house bill had
of duty carried bv the bill below that i WZTJ lu7" '"" rent
iae oniy suDstanuai victory won ny
fixed by the house. Heretofore In the
making of a tariff hill the house has
slashed the rates, while tbe senate has
then taken op the bill and readjusted
the rates on a higher general average.
The house hill carried a general av
erage rate slightly below 30 per cent.
This the aennt cnt a little over 4 per
rent. The conference committee has . ,,
nut i
the house in tbe free list was as to
free art.
Here are rates of the new tariff com
pared with tbe Payne Aldrich law:
I
LUXURIES.
raised the general average duty
slightly. The average ad valorem duty
carried by the bill as perfected is
about 27 per cent. The average under
the present law Is abont 35 per cent
Many Changes Considered.
The conference committee had to
deal with BTfl paragraphs on which
there were disagreements. Some of
these Involved only the change of a
word or a question of punctuation, but
a majority of them represented dif
ference tn rates and a few were fun
damental. The house conferees also accepted
the senate amendment fixing dates
when the wool duties shall go Into ef
fect, which was one of the final stum
bling blocks.
Hit wool will go on the free list on
Fe. 1. and the reduced duties car
r'.fd by tb present bill will become ef
fective on Jan. 1. The honse bill pro
posed to make tbe wool duties effective
lmmediately on the bill being signed
by the president. The final action was
an important concession to the manu
facturers. The senate won over the honse also
on controverted paragraphs In the
schedule relating to cotton cloths and
yarns. By this agreement slighf'y
higher duties are given to certain
courser grades of cotton cloths and
yarns by changing tbe classification.

The income tai feature of the new
tariff law, made possible by tbe adop
tion of au amendment to the federal
constitution, marks a new feature in
tariff legislation. It is expected to
yield an annual revenue exceeding
$100,000,000. which makes possible the i
reduction of tariff duties. I
Under the terms of the new law a
tax of 1 per cent will be levied on all
incomes in excess of $3,000 with cer
tain exemptions. The bill provides
12 pc that there shall be "an additional tax
of 1 per cent per annum upon the
amount by which the total net Income
exceeds $20,000 and docs not exceed
$50,000, and 2 per cent fer annum j
upon the amount by which the total
net Income exceeds $50,000 and does
not exceed $75,000. 3 per aent per an

does not exceed $100,000. 4 per cent
per annum upon the amount by which
the total net income exceeds $100,000
and does not exceed $250,000. 5 per
cent per annum upon tbe amount by
which the total net Income exceeds
$250,000 and does not exceed $500,000
and 6 per cent per annum upon the
amount by which the total net income
exceeds $500,000."

Every person subject to the income '
tax must make a report of his Income j
to the collector of internal revenue in
tbe district in which he lives or in

"Subject only to such exemptions
and deductions as are hereinafter al
lowed, tbe net income of a taxable
person shall Include gains, profits and
income derived from salaries, wages
or compensation for personal service
of whatever kind and in whatever form
paid, or from professions, vocations,

dowment or annuity contracts upon
tbe return thereof to tbe insured at the
maturity of the term mentioned in tbe
contract or upon surrender of tbe con
tract shall not be included as income."
Tbe provisions of tbe bill for exemp
tions as finally agreed on are:
"There shall be deducted from the
amount of tbe net income of each of
said persons, ascertained as provided
herein, the sum of $3,000 plus $1,000
additional If the person making the re
turn be a married man with a wife,
living with him and being herself not

plus the sum of $1,000 additional If the
person making tbe return be a married
woman with a husband living with her
and being himself not taxable under
the income tax law, but In no event
shall this additional exemption of $!,
000 be deducted by both a husband
and a wife."
