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

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

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

The tariff on boots and shoes Is re

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.
