DEBATE TO BEGIN MONDAY Democrats Will Assail Provisions In Detail and Protectionists Seek to Raise Duties Debate May Be Limited. tTontlnud from IN rut rajte.) The Democrats still remember that un. ler the regulations concerning amend ments they found no opportunity to force test votes on particular schedules, l.nder a special rule adopted for the purpose the committee could present amendments at any time, but individ ual members could only suggest changes In the schedules under consid eration As the entire six days were devoted to the first schedules, dealing with chemicals and drugs, they found very little opportunity to make effect ive suggestions. The Democrats prob ably will resist such a rule for consid ering the present bill. Whether there will be any rule reg iilHting the consideration of the Payne bill remains to be seen. It Is Payne's purpose to begin the general debate before asking to have a rule brought In. and whether any will be ordered probably will depend upon circum stances. Ho expects also to give somewhat more time for the considera tion of the bill by the House than was given to the Dingley measure, it Is recalled that the debate on the TMng-l-y bill was begun on March 22. 12 years ago. the same day of the same month on which the general discussion of the Payne bill begins. On the for mer occasion all discussion ended and a vote was taken March 31. Under present conditions, Payne thinks it would be desirable to give more time, but he declines to say how much more. Senate Committee Meets Today. Senator Aldrich.. chairman of the com Vl'lle.0n, nnance- which will deal with the bill In the Senate, announced that he would call a meeting of the Republi can members of the committee for to morrow with the idea of considering the House measure immediately. The finance committee suffered severely from the de feats of the recent election and as a consequence the Republican membership numbers only four Senators. They are Aldrich, Burrows. Penrose and Hale Aldrich says, however, that they can take up the bill as a sub-committee. Aa soon as the Republican vacancies are filled the new members will be invited in and con sideration of the measure will proceed Aldrich declared he had not looked at the House bill, and declined -to comment upon it. It Is known, however, that many Senators seriously object to the changes In the present law and hope Is expressed that the bill will be materially amended before it leaves the Senate. Hale on Warpatb Against BUI. Hale, chairman of the Republican cau cus, is among those who find thf bill objectionable. " "It absolutely murders the wood pulp end paper Industry of Maine," he said This is the most important Industry In our state, and we shall resist the change with the utmost possible vigor." Hale predicted that the bill would be before Congress for the next three months or more. The committee on finance will not grant any hearings, but will consider any writ ten or printed statements which may be presented to it. It is believed when the House begins the debate on the bill the session hours will be extended. The sittings probably will begin at 10 o'clock In the morning and continue until 10 or 11 o'clock at night. m New Drawback Provision. one of the most significant features of the Payne bill- is the new drawback provision. It extends this privilege so that an American manufacturer need not use the material which he has Imported in order to secure the refund of the duties which he has paid on hl material If he uses materials produced In this country in equal amount with the ma terial he has imported, he will be en titled to the drawback benefits, provided the domestio materials are of equal pro ductive manufacture, quality and value The legal deduction of one per cent on the drawback is provided, but the exportation upon which the manufac turer proposes to collect the draw back must be made wtlhln three years after tho Importation of the foreign material used or checked against. The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to prescribe the regulations under which the drawback is paid. The privileges of the drawback section are lllle.l to materials used In the con-Uru.-tlon and equipment of vessels built for & foreign government or for eign trade. Petroleum Is retained on the free list uil the countervailing duty provision la retained. Inheritance Tax Provision. Tho inheritance tax provision ex empts from taxation any property be queathed to any religious, educational, charitable, missionary, hospital or In firmary corporation. Personal prop erty, other than money or securities bequeathed to a corporation or asso ciation organised exclusively for the moral or mental Improvement of men or women, or for scientific, patriotic or similar purposes. Is made exempt from the tax. A discount of & per cent Is provided for if the tax Is paid wlthtn six months of the time it is due. Intorest will be charged and col lected at the rate of 10 per cent a year If the tax Is not paid within eight months from. the time it accrues. If an estate is tied up In necessary liti gation. 6 per cent will be charged. A special agent to conduct Investigations to secure the efficient enforcement of tho Inheritance tax is provided for at a salary of 3000 a year. Day BUI Takes Effect. In order to prevent the confusion at tending the enforcement of the Dingley bill on the day on which It became a law, the Payne bill will not take effect until the day after It is enacted. One of the new provisions In the bill extends to the vessels of war of any nation. In porta of the Vnlted States, the privilege of purchasing supplies from public warehouses free of duty to such countries as give like privileges to American warships. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS Kxtenslve Cuts, Maximum and Min imum Kates or Duty. -WASHINGTON. March 17.-Downward revision, maximum and minimum pro visoes which impose an average max imum duty 20 per cent in excess of the present tariff and numerous provisions by which it is estimated that the rev enue to the Government will be in creased from 140,000.000 to JGO.000,000. are the ealient features of the new tariff bill which was Introduced In the House today by Representative Sereno E. Payne chairman of the ways and means com mittee. The recommendations made by Presi dent Taft that an inheritance tax be pro vided and that a limited amount of to bacco and sugar be admitted free from the Philippines are Included in the bill. The measure ln ornvtria v. t.. ance of Panama Canal bonds to the amount of 140,000.000 to reimburse the Treasury for the original purchase of the canal and re-enacts the provisions for the issue of .Treasury certificates, the amount being increased from $100,000,000 to $250,000,000. While there if no duty imposed upon coffee, tea Is taxed 8 cents when import ed from the country where it is pro duced and 9 cents when from other than the producing country. The internal rev enue tax on cigarettes is materially in creased, while the tax on beer and whis ky is undisturbed. A cut of 60 per cent is made In the steel and lumber schedules and iron ore. hides, tallow, cottonseed oil and works of art more than 20 years old re plared on the free list. The tariff on boots and shoes Is re duced 40 per cent, and on other leather manufactures in proportion. The pottery schedule remains about the same, but the duties on window and plate glass of the smaller sizes are increased, while the duties- on the larger sizes are reduced The tariff on wool of the first and aec ond class, used in clothing principally is MA 1X13 MAX ACTI3V CHAIR.

A reduction of cent a pound is also made in the duty on starch with the exception of potato starch. Zinc ore is assessed 1 cent per pound for the sine contained. The tariff on pig iron is reduced from l to $2 per ton. . The principal' increases are made on lemons, cocoa and substitutes for coffee COaL!aJ dyes' S'oves and coated papers and-iithograph prints. papers As was expected, the new tariff bill Is made on a maximum and minimum basis, with the provision that the maxi mum rates are not to go into effect until t0 days after the passage of the bill The reciprocity provisions are contained in the paragraphs assessing duties on bituminous coal and coke and agricul tural implements, by which these arti cles are given entry free of duty when Imported from countries which permit the free importation - of these articles from America. The inheritance tax provision of the bill is similar to the New Tork State law. It provides tt t.x of 5 per cent on all inheritances oveir J500 that are col lateral lnherltanoes, or in which strangers are the legatees. In cases of direct inheritance the taxes prescribed are: On 110.000 to J100.000. 1 per cent; on $100,000 to $500,000. 2 per cent, and on those over $500,000, 3 per cent. It Is es timated that $20,000,000 annually will be derived from this tax. The maximum and minimum provi sions of the bill do away with the ne cessity of continuing the foreign trade agreements. the abrogation of these is provided for in a section which au thorizes the President to issue notices i.Me termi"atioh of these agreements within 10 days after the bill goes into effect. Tho French agreement would therefore terminate immediately, while the German agreement would remain In forje for six months. A provision of the bill is designed to meet the conditions resulting from the patent laws of Great Britain, which re quire that patentees must manufac ture their articles within Great Bri tain. This provision applies the -same rules to patents taken out in this coun try by aliens as are applied to Americans In the country of the aliens. Drawback privileges are extended by the bill and the method of valuation on articles upon which the tarl im poses an ad valorem duty is broadened for the purpose of preventing the prac tice of under-valnation.
