TTIE MOKXIXG OREGOXTAV. TUESDAY, MAT' IS. lfon. SUTHERLAND FOR HIGH TARIFF ILL Utah Senator Declares for In come Tax by States, Not Nation. RAZOR TARIFF INCREASED Aldrich Forces Advance From 55 to 100 Per Cent Simmons Pro poses Horizontal Reduc tion Annually. WASHIXGTOX. May 17.-A comprehen sive discussion of the Income tax by Sutherland of Utah and an extended speech by Depew In support of the pend ing tariff bill consumed most of the eew.lo.i of the Senate today. Sutherland argued against the constitutionality of the Federal Income tax and declared such a tax should be left as a means of revenue for the states. Before ad journment a couple of hours were ue 7pCd -to '"cussion of the cutlery sched- " " not a protectionist In spots." ald Sutherland. If. he said, there a a"y Question about the amount L'. . y, to Ievli on a particular article, he preferred to solve It by hav ing the duty a little too high than too low He could not advocate taxing the products of his own state and deny pro tection to the products of any other state. Speaking of the Income tax. Suth erland said the trainers of the Consti tution had contemplated having the federal Government obtain Its revenues by Imposing taxes upon a class ot sub jects which the states, either under the Constitution or by common consent, did not. or could not, tax to the fullest ex tent that would be possible. The Fed eral Government under the Constitution, he said, waa given power to impose taxes on Imports, which power was substan tially exclusive. By common consent the Imposition of Internal revenue taxes upon liquors and tobacco had been given over to the Federal Government. . Any effort. Sutherland remarked, to impose taxes upon object that states tax Is bound to result in confusion or double taxation. . Taking that view, he regarded the income tax as not a proper means for raising revenue for the Gen eral Government. Raxors were used during the discus sion In a hostile attack upon the rates of the bill. The committee on finance had increased the rates on razors In common use from about E6 to 100 per cent ad valorem. Aa soon as the Senate took up the cutlery schedule today, amend menta offered by Simmons Saturday, cutting those rates, were rejected. Aldrich said the most striking feature about the razor industry was that a large part of the razors imported cost to im port wholesale 10 cents each. "Is there any one here who ever saw tv3uns uuimff uae lu cents T inquired Aldrich. "A 25-eent razor is the kind the citi zen of the South of the political faith of the Senator from Rhode .Island most commonly use." said Bacon. A general reduction of customs duties of five per cent- annually is proposed by Owen in an amendment that he of fered. The amendment proposes that this reduction be made annually until a les sened revenue from each article Is shown and m such case the President is author ized to fix the duty at a rate that he believes will froduce the greatest revenue. knocked out from under their fMt All through the condemned men were as calm as If saying their prayers In' a mosque.

At any rate, when the White House automobile started for the golf rinks. It carried President Taft. General Clarence Ed wards, and two other friends of the President.
