THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY. APRIL 14, 19O0. HIGHER TAXES ON BREAKFAST TABLE Increased Duties on Cereals Offset Free Tea and Coffee. TRYING TO SAVE OIL DUTY Vrr-rlnnd and Cohort Working for Petroleum Interests and Sen- Will Changs I' revi sions Entirely. Me WASHIJOTTOT April 13. In the Hiram thetatement that th Aldrlch amend ments to the Payne bill tend to Increase the dutiei on luxuries and reduce them on necessities Is taken wlta a grain of salt. Republican members of the ways and mean committee pointed out today what they regarded aa Inconsistencies In that line of reasoning. For Instance, It was pointed out by one that the necessities reduced by the Senate committee were slices and cocoa, which the ways and means committee made dutiable for rev enue purposes. On the other hand the duties on corn, wheat, barley, rye and other agricultural products, many of which were, used on the breakfast table, had been greatly Increased. Only for Trading Purposes. While thj increased duties on cheap Kloves and hosiery have been taken off by the Senate finance committee. the general oplnlcm In the House Is that the amendment to restore the IMnsrley rates Is Intended, partly at least, for use In conference. In other words. It Is re garded as being designed for trading pur poses. Several other changes made by fhe Senate committee are interpreted In the House to be. for the purpose of ob taining satisfactory compromises when the bill is In conference. Vreeland of New York and others who want protection for petroleJm are active ly engaged In Impressing the members of the Senate with their views. Cannot Tax Foreign Yachts. The provision placed in the bill by fhe Annate committee. Imposing a duty of 8 per cent ad valorem upon forelgn bullt yachts and pleasure boats pur chased by American citizens Is held by members of the ways and means com mittee to be unconstitutional. "We devoted an entire day to the dis cussion of such a duty," aaid one of the prominent Republican members, '.'and de cided that It was not for us to propose uch action. The Supreme Court of the I'nlted States has decided that a yacht cannot be Imported, and therefore we decided not to Include such a. provision in tne mil. Before the Senate meets on Thursday there will be a session of the finance committee to determine whether the ml norlty members will be ready to take up general debate on the tariff bill that day. From Informal discussions between Republlean and Democratic members. It Is believed the minority will ask an ex tension of time until next Monday. This request would be granted by the Re publican . leaders. Not EnongU Revenue Provided. Aklrlch will make a brief statement to the Senate Thursday, explaining the ab sence of revenue-producing features In the amendments to the House bill. The message from the House asking that the I'ayne bill be returned for a correction of the petroleum schedule, will be received Thursday. In view of the fact, however, that the bill had been referred to the finance committee, amended and reported back to the Sen ate, it is not likely that the bill will be permitted to go back to the House. Senate leaders take the position that there Is no necessity for the return of the bill to the house, as the finance com mittee Intends to offer amendments to the petroleum schedule that will efface the error. eratlon with which they treated the Chi cago delegation of women who have just returned from bearing the tariff protest to Washington, and several are going to receive missives of an entirely different character. - Four displeased women are dissemi nating word throughout the city today that Congress In general is not conver sant with the book of Washington eti quette appertaining to the rules of "How to treat a woman when she comes to present a petition." "They ducked when they saw us coming that nMrt.M i.lr ,ffl1nl vThey ducked." So Mrs. E. M. Henderson describes the deportment of the members when the women wandered through the Capitol In search of whom they might address. Chairman Payne of the ways and means committee gave orders: 'When those women come here from Chicago tell them I am out.' "That is the way we were to be re ceived by him. But It happened when we were going past the door of the committee-room Congressman Payne himself came running out on his way to the ele vator. He saw us coming with Con gressman Foss, and he tried to take to the tall timber, but he was too late. Mr. Foss called- to him that there were some women whom he would be delighted to meet, and he had to stand fire then. "Speaker Cannon, when he saw us. aaid something about the price of hats we had on being about JSO, and so why not stocking 6 cents a pair higher than the B& cents we pay now. How can you ar gue against thing's like that?" BIG BROKERAGE FAILURE EXXIS & STOPPAXI GO CXDER OWIXQ $1,500,000. New York and Chicago Firm Gives Vp AVhen Creditors Begin Bankruptcy Suit. NEW YORK.
