W ashington, Oct. 17.- The Demo
cratic members of the ways and
means committee hope to have the tar-
iff hill reported within a month and
to have it pass the house before tho
holidays.
Great, secrecy has been enjoined
upon all members who have the prep-
aration of the tariff bill, because when
once it is stated that a certain reduc-
tion has been arranged for, represent-
atives are sent to Washington to argue
before the committee on tho proposed
changes. Considerable interest has
been manifested in the iron-producing
states as tt) what was to be done with
iron ore, and it looks very much as if
iron ore would follow coal into the
free list.
Another ore that will probably be
restored to the free list is lead. This
lead ore is largely imported foin
Mexico and is used for smelting.
Mr. 11 ryan of Nebraska, who is a
member of the committee on ways
and means, advocates an income tax
to be made a part of the tariff bill.
If it is not incorporated he will
present it to the house in some form.
He will propose a tax on all incomes
above 82,500 at the rate 1 per cent; 2
per cent on |5,000; 4 per cent on $10,-
o o; <1 per cent on s25,M>0, and 10 per
cent on 850,000, Mis plan is to have
the postmasters in towns of 10,000
population or less collect the income
taxes and in the large cities a special
income tax collector to be appointed.
