Special Correspondence.
Washington, D. C., April 15.—Fail-
ure—-this was the word indelibly writ-
ten across the Taft administration
tariff bill that passed the house of
representatives, in view of experts
who have now had time to weigh the
measure carefully and render a ver-
dict.
Filled with jokers that pretend to
reduce schedules but that actually
advance them, reeking with evidences
of political barter and mysterious
eleventh-hour changes at the hands of
the committee on ways and means,
the now-famous Payne bill is in the
hands of the senate. It is conceeded
even by many Republicans that the
upper house of congress must prac-
tically either re-frame the bill
throughout in the interest of the con-
sumer or prepare to face defeat in the
coming congressional elections.
Will the senate prove itself to be
freer from trust influence than the
house? Time will tell. If the Payne
bill is improved from the standpoint
of the people it will be the first time
the upper house of congress ever
yielded to popular opinion during Jthe
consideration of a tariff bill
brands it a fiasco.
It fails to provide for an income
tax. but creates an inheritance tax,
which is already on the statute books
of thirty-three states, and will there-
fore mean double taxation.
It does not provide for a perman-
ent tariff commission, which Presi-
dent Taft says he approves of.
It raises the cost of many necessi-
ties, and fails utterly to carry out the
promise President Taft made in his
inaugural address of advancement of
few schedules, "if any."
It plainly discriminates against the
poor in favor of the rich. In advanc-
ing the rates on necessities the com-
mittee taxed the class of articles that
would be principally purchased by the
poor much higher than the class of
goods purchased practically exclusive-
ly by the wealthy.
These are the principal flaws in the
great Republican tariff bill which has
just been turned out of the Cannon-
Dalzell-Payne legislation hopper. And
no mention has been made of the
hardships.imposed upon the consumer
by particular increases of duties, as
on gloves, hosiery, cocoa, spices of
me nearly all kinds, lumber and agri
The I cultural implements.

Wilson bill, it is recalled, went to the
senate endorsed by the people and af-
ter over 600 changes was enacted into
law along lines dictated by the
trusts.
The special interests still have rep-
resentation in the senate. Big indus-
tries/that contributed heavily to Re-
publican campaign funds will prob-
ably have their way in the end, but
not without some difficulty. There
are a few insurgents in the senate
who will stand with the Democrats in
a fight for real revision downward. An
interesting fight will undoubtedly oc-
cur between the "stand pat" crowd,
headed by Aldrich, and the progres-
sive element of the Republican party
and the Democrats.
From first to last the Payne bill
discriminates against the South and
West in favor of the New England
states. There appears to be little
hope of this feature being improved in
the senate.
Here are other striking features of
the Payne bill: ,
It fails to provide adequate revenue
to run the government. The Demo-
crats declare this feature alone

Vacant lots $2 to $3 per front foot,

$15 a front foot buys 41 ft. in 700

1 mice and talk It OTer. No trouble to
I how property.
In contrast to the Payne bill, the
Democrats declare, the resolution In
troduced by Minority Leader Champ
Clark to recommit the measure to the
ways and means committee with in
structions to make certain amend
ments will go down in tariff history
as an earnest to the country of what
the Democratic members favored.
Here are some of the amendments
of the Clark resolution, which was in
troduced just before the vote on the
Payne measure, and was rejected by
the Republican majority:
"Reduce the duties carried by the
bill to revenue rates, so as to raise
the maximum of revenue with tue
minimum of burden of taxation upon
the masses of the American people,
so adjusting the rates of duty as to
deal fairly with both producer and
consumer, with due regard to the
needs of the government.
"Provide for a graduated tax to be
levied on incomes.
"Amend by placing leather, harness
boots, shoes, and all products of
leather on the free list.
"Amend by placing articles entering
into competition with trust-controlled
