Senate Will Fight It.
i OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, VTash-
' big-ton. Sopt. 9. Agitation of the cot
foe tax question bas been revived by
Representative McCleary, of Minne
sota, the only man in Congress -who
WUem the tariff should be revised
ujww8. Mr. McCleary is the rank
la RoiHibllcan "member of the com
mKtoe ' on appropriations, is directly
la Mne for the chairmanship of
that committee, but it Is by no moans
oartaia he will land it. Nevertheless,
his prominence on' the committee at
the prosent time sies -weight to his
views on revonue questions and his
Moms are worth considering.
Mr. McCloary admits that the condi
tion of the Treasury ought to be
studied by Congress, and it should be
determined -whether or not legislation
Is accessary to overcome the great de
Aott. He is not certain that legislation
Sfi noceosory; perhaps the Government
Ja Jost now making heavier expendi
tures than usual, heavier than it will
have to make a few years hence; per
haps Government expenditures will
soon decline. In that event, Mr. Mc
Cleary says, no legislation will be
noooosary. But. on the other hand, if
. It shall appear upon Investigation that
the Federal expenditures are not to
day abnormal, but are rather Inclined
to steadily' Increase, then it is time
for Congress to act.
McCleary Would Tax Coffee.
Of the various plans proposed for
ratatwg more revenue. Mr. McCleary
Mtoooaites a tax on coffee. Ho says re
tr pacha ent will help some; he thinks
oco n a my can profitably be practiced
la every'dopartment, but he doos not
helleve that any phenomenal saving
wW be made in that manner, not
Mieng-h. at loa.st, to overcome the de
ficit. Kor doos Mr. McCleary warm up
to the proposition of raising a tax on
hank checks, stocks, bonds, deeds,
Mortgages, patent medicines, etc, as
was none during the Spanish War, nor
foes he favor additional taxos on beer,
tohaooo. whisky, etc He does, how
ewer, see great possibilities in a cof
fee tax.
Ertgr the Civil War," said Mr.
McLeary, "wo Imposed a duty of 5
seats a pound on coffee. A few years
eXtor the war we reduced the duty to
t cents, and in the 70s the duty was
abolished altogether. It didn't save
the people a cent. Brazil, from which
powntry we get most of our coffee, Im
mediately placed an export duty of
ah nut 1 cents a pound on coffee, with
Ue result that the consumers of this
roowtry paid as much for it as they
did before.
Promote Industry in Islands.
"Sce those days there have come
Into oar possession some countries in
"Wtatcfa splendid coffee can be grows.
1 rater to Porto Itlco and the Phllip
ntoos. If we place a duty of 3 to S
coats a pound on coffee we will en
eoerrage the raising of all we need in
the islands, and I would not be sur
prised to see Brazil take off her ex
port dttty on that article so as to pre
vent home competition. Brazil reaps
the benefit of many millions a year on
her export ttuty and the people of the
failed statos pay it Into Brazil's
treaoary. To tax coffee would be in
line with the protective tariff policy
of the Republicans, which all of us
believe to be right and proper. If we
will give eeffee-ralsing in Porto Rico
and the Philippines a chance, we will
la a few yoars produce every pound
of coffee we use. and probably have
some to spare to send abroad. Porto
Rtco produces the nnest coffee in the
world."
If Mr. McCloary is right In his facts
and if he proposes by -a coffee tax to
only temporarily wipe out the present
Treasury deficit, his plan may be a
good one. but by his own reasoning he
proves that a tax on coffee will not be
a permanent source of income, but
wtM. Itke the tax on steel and some
other trast-made articles. In time bar
mt of American markets all forolgn
products affected by that schedule and
than produce no revenue. If. as Mr.
McCleary says, a tax.of 8 or 5 cents a
poo ml on coffee will so oncourago
coffee-growing in our island posses
sions that they will in a few years be
able to supply the American market.
Importations from Brazil, Java and
other foreign countries will disappear,
and the daty will dlsappoar at the
Mune ttnte.
Would Consumer Allow It?
Thore are many men in Congress who
belter e with Mr. McCleary that coffee
nhenld be taxed, and there is sure to be
donate, oven if no action, on the proposi
tion daring the coming session. As a
matter of fact, it would probably be a
groat many yoars before Porto Rlcan and
PMMiipiue ooffee could meet the entire de
mand la the United States, and importa
tions of this berry would necessarily have
to continue during all the years the in-sahu-
plantations were being developed
and the insular coffee gaining a standing
in the American markets. But if the tax
hs imposed on coffee, wnethor it be three
cents or five, the prico to the consumor
-svttt be raised Just that much; the con
sumer will have to pay the tax. Not in
the immediate future would Brazil be
obliged to abolish her export duty on
coffee The competition which Brazil's
coffee has encountered In our markets
from the Porto Rlcan and Philippine cof
Xee has not. up to this time, caused any
ooneorn or any decrease in the oxport
tax. It would take many years to build
up the coffee Industry in the islands to
soak proportions as would spread anxiety
among the exporters of Rio Janeiro.
Reduce Tariff on Steel and Iron.
Mr." McCloary is dead sot against the
preposition to lowor the tariff on steal
and Iron manufactures to a figure which
ivouki pormit forolgn competition in our
markets. He would rather tho United
States pay a higher price for American
steel than the European purchaser does.
But thore are many men In Congress who
d4sagreo with him, men who see In this
very tariff schedule a means of providing
funds to overcome the gaping Treasury
deficit These men will oppose a tax on
coffee, which means aburden on almost
vary American family, but will advocate
legislation which will not only mean tariff
duties whore not a cent is today collected,
legislation which will cheapen the trust
made goods, to tho benefit of the Amer
ican purchaser, but not to the Injury of
the American producer. These men are
the "tariff revisionists," the men who
will have to win a fight over Speaker
Cannon and some of the most powerful
loaders In the Senate, if they force the
.adoption of their views.
The same objection that is raised to a
tax on ooffee will be raised to a
tax on bank ohecks, deeds, mortgages,
patent medicine, etc. The peoplo them
selves will have to pay this tax. the -consumers,
the every-day etizens. The only
internal tax that could be imposed with
out going Into the pockets of the con
sumer would bo a tax on beer. The beer
tax that prevailed during the Spanish
War "fell upon the producers; the price to
the consumer did not increase But to
single out the brewing Industry and com
pel it to make, up the Treasury deficit
would lead to an awful rumpus in Con
gress, the brewers would bring their in
fluence to bear, and on tho ground that
they were being discriminated against,
would probably be able to defeat such
legislation.
Of all the various methods suggested
for raising more revenue and overcoming
the depleted condition in the Treasury
only two things stand out as thoroughly
practicable and consistent; one is to cut
off unnecessary expenditures in the Gov
ernment service: the other Is to lower
the tariff on certain over-protected arti
cles, so as to allow foreign goods to
come into our markets and pay duty,
where today they are barred. out and con
tribute nothing; that Is, goods whose im
portation . will work no Injury to Amer
ican industry and trade
Will Be Fierce Fight.
But will Congress take that view of It?
It will naturally shout for retrenchment,
but. If Speaker Cannon and the leaders
pledged to support him can smother It in
the House, thero will be no lowering of
the tariff walls, even on the unduly pro
tected articles, and even If the House
should pass a tariff bill of this Bort, it
would have to encounter and overcome
the opposition of the most fearless and
the most powerful Republicans in the
Senate. The outlook for legislation tend-
lng to readjust the balance in the Treas
ury is not encouraging.

REFUSED TO PAY TAXES
Imprisoned American Armed labor

"WASHINGTON', Sept. 14. The Minister
of Nicaragua, Sonor Corea. has received
copies of the proceedings in the case of
William S: Albers, who was arrested In
March of this year, and whose trial bogan
bofore the court in Ocotal on April 17.
He said:
Nicaragua has had for many yearn quite a
large American colony and during tne govern
ment of Frcriient Zelaya. who bas held bis
position lor the last. 12 yean, there vr&n no
trouble to peak of betweea Nicaragua, and
the United States. Albers baa reoMed la Nica
ragua for some time and baa been engaged la
raising tobacco. The tobaoeo ldu try In
Nicaragua, is In the bands of & syndicate,
which pays every year a certain turn to the
government and has the right to asic tt At
all the private growers uhalP pay a neftaln
tax in return for the privilege ef keeping t-lr
tobaoeo in their storehouses and relling it as
they war wish. In case any one refuse to
pay this tax, his tobacco ta sold peMlcly; the
tax is kept out of that amount, and the rezt
ef the rooaey Is returned to the owner.
Albers Defied tthe Iavc.
Tho Minister states that Albers defied
this law. threatening anyone who would
attempt to enforce It. arming his labor
ers and hoisting the American (lag to
emphasize his stand. He was accordingly
placed under arrest and given a hearing.
It was then that Chester Donaldson, the
American Consul, addressed a letter dl
rectoly to the President of Nicaragua In
stead of through the usual channel In
such a case the American Minister. No
action was taken, for the reason above
stated. The request was repoated with a
like result Finally a third letter was
written by Mr. Donaldson, stating that, if
Albers was not released within 34 hours,
the writer could not be held responsible
for the results.
Consul's Exequatur Revoked.
According to the Minister, when ques
tioned, Mr. Donaldson stood sponsor for
this letter and at the same time expressed
a desire to leave the country, whereupon
the Nicaraguan government, partly com
plying: with his wishes, cancelled his ox
exequatur. AH the letters were written, the Min
ister says, while the Albers hoaring was
pending. He added that the case is still
pending In the Nicaraguan courts.
Minister Corea called this afternoon on
Acting Secretary ofState Loom is and in

from typhoid fever, but is convalescent
and is on his way to this country.
SHUTS OUT AMERICAN MACIIIXE,
Argentina Places Prohibitive Duty
on Parts for Kcpalrs.
NEW YORK. Sept. 14. Cablegrams from
Argentina were received yesterday by the
leading exporters In New York saying
that the government had given notice
that It was to levy U prohibitive tariff to
morrow on all parts of agricultural and
Industrial machinery, used In repairing,
and calling for American manufacturers
fo ask the American Government to in
tervene. The wires wore kept hot all yes
terday aftornoon between New York and
other chief cities, and by nightfall ar
rangements had been attempted to lay
the matter bofore the Secretary of State
today. A representative of the American
exporters said yesterday:
"This news is so sudden we hardly
know which way to turn. Wo do not
even know If Argentina Is to apply the
prohibitive tarrlff to European and Aus
tralian exports, although we believe not.
We will ask Secretary Root to direct tho
American Minister at Buenos Ayres to in
tervene.
"If this prohibitive tariff goes into ef
fect, it will be a heavy blow to American
manufacturers. More than a thousand
car loads of machinery are shipped
every year from this country to
Argentina, but there is little profit
in the trade. The profitable end
of the business is in the oxport to Argen
tina of spare parts used for repairing, on
which duty has averaged less than 25 per
cent levied on machinery proper.
"It will be a day or two before we find
out If we can stop the new tariff or ascer
tain the motive of Argentina. She has
practically no coal, iron or wood, except
dye woods, so there is no opportunity- for
Argentina to build factories to compete
with foreign makers of machinery. There
must be some trick behind the move."

Why""3Ianufacturers Protest Against
Action of Argentina.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14. The State
Department today received communica
tions by telegraph and mall from a dozen
points In this country where agricultural
machinery Is manufactured protesting
against what the senders declare to be a
blow at their Interests by tho Argentine
government In Imposing prohibitive duties
on parts of agricultural machinery. It
appears that American machines are sold
In Argontlna at a very low figure In con
sideration of the fact that the manufac
turers make considerable profits after the
sale In supplying parts of the machines to
replace those broken or worn out In use.
Ti.e dopartment has not so far been offi
clally advised of the levylns of this duty,
and. In fact, It Is not yet clear whether
the action complained of is really the Im
position of a new duty or merely a new
executive construction of the regular tar
iff act. So Mr. Boauprc. the American
Minister at Buenos Ayres. has been called
upon by tho . department to report Imme
diately tho facts in the case. and. if the
subject is one that properly can be takon
iup, the Argentine government wlil be adV

"WASHINGTON, Sept. 14. The Commis

NEW' ORLEANS, Sept. 11. Some Idea
of the deplorable conditions that pre
vailed at Leeville in consequence of the
yellow fever epidemic bofore relief doctors
and nurses reached the scene was given
today by Manuel Encala.de of that place.
He said that communication had been
cut off with the city, the food supply
had run low, the medicines kept in the
town store had been exhausted, and that
it was impossible to get coffins for the
dead, who were buried in shrouds.
With steps in progress to depopulate
both Taliulah and Lake Providence as
much as possible, and with an ample
fever force at work at both places, the
country situation shows some Improve

squares in Taliulah. 25 are infected, many
of the victims being people of prominence
and some being desperately 111. Former
Naval Officer J. B. Snyder Is among the
late cases.
At Patterson 22 patients remain In
the hospital. Cases appear in consid

The first suicide due to yellow fever
has been reported. Antonio Gongelo, an
Italian, was attacked by the disease. In
his delirium he got out of bed, secured
a revolver and blew his brains out. He
leaves a widow and two Infant children.
Today's record In the city presented an

It was discovered to be a physical im
