Chalrman'e Comperetlvs Table.
Chairman Underwood of the ways
and means committee. In hie state-
ment accompanying the new bill, gave
a comparative table to ehow reduc-
tion In tariff dutlea made upon necee-
eariee. In each item both the present
tariff and the propoaed tariff had been
redueed to an ad valorem beels.
The new ratee are estimated to re-
duce the cuatoms revenue approxi-
mately $$0,000,000 a year. This is ex-
pected to be made up by the Income
tax.
Indorsed by Preeldent Wilson, the
measure represents the efforte of the
preeldent and house tariff makere to
carry Into effect Democratic pledgee
of downward revision and of concee-
elone to the American eonaomer.
Protection to the farmer would be
cut throughout by more thaa $0 per

plement manufacturer wonld In turn
be cut by fully aa wide a margin.

stuffs, agricultural producte, woolen

Free Wool end Free Sugar.
The tree wool proposal hacked by
Prealdent Wilson and accepted by the
houae committee, le expected to pro-
voke a severe fight within the Demo-
cratic ranke of bothhouses. It had
not become clear whether the Demo-
cratic opponente of free wool aad free
sugar in tha eenate would be able to
force a compromise oa one or both
theee provisions.
The deeielon to make a gradual re-
daction In the sugar tariff waa rsecbsd
by the preeldent and tha house com-
mittee after Loot dane eane growers
declined a compromise that would
have established a one-cent per pound
tariff for three yeere, with free sugar
to i$i$.

The Income tax which will transfer
Indirect taxae levied through the tar-
iff Into a direct tax upon the laeomee
of Individual ettisene aad corporations

eomee In excese of that amouat will
pay 1 per cent tax up to $20,000, $
per coat, from $$0,00$ to $$$,$00; $
per oent from $$0,000 to $100,000, aad
4 per cent above that figure. The
preeeat corpora tion tax, levying 1 per
eeat oa corporation Incomes above
$$,000, would be retalaed aa part of
the Income tax. ■

la a statement accompanying the
bill Underwood said the
measure would, to the opinion of it*
makera. revise the tariff "to a beats
of legitimate competition, such as will
afford a wholeeome Influence on our
commerce, bring relief to the people
to the matter of the high coet of liv-
ing, aad at the same time work no
detriment to properly oonducted man-
ufacturing Industries."
"In ita tariff revision work ths com-
mlttss has kept In mlno," ha said, "the
dletlnotlon between the trscessltlss
and the luxuries of life, reducing the
tariff burdena on the neceeeltlea to
the loweet points commenaurate with
revenue requlremente and making the
luxuriee of life bear their proportion
of the tariff reaponslMlitlee. Many
Items of manufacture controlled by
monopolies have been placed on the
free Ust"
"Where the tariff ratee balance the
difference In cost of production at
home and abroad, Including an allow-
ance for the difference In freight
rates, the tariff muat be competitive,
and from that point downward to the
loweat tariff that can be levied will
continue to be competitive to a great-
er or leee extent Where competition
le not Interfered with by levying the
tax above the hlgheet competitive

Strlkee Blew at Monopoly.
"On the other hand, when the du-
tiee levied at the cuatom houae are
high enough to allow the American
manufacturer to make a profit before
hie eompetitor can enter the field, we
have Invaded the domain of tha pro-
tection of profita. In the commlttee'a
Judgment the protection of any profit
must of neceealty have a tendency to
destroy competition and create monop-
oly, whether the profit protected la

tion of development that followa

Interesting studies of patients dis-

same average earnings to all ex-pe>-
