FINAL

TARIFF
Will Be Between General In

Aldrich Expects an Early
Vote on Tariff Bill.
(Henrnt Kewi by Longest Leased Win.)
Washington. June 12. Senator Aid
rich, on the completion ot the free list,
adjourned the senate early this after
noon to Monday, that the finance com
mittee might determine on rates of dd
ties and administration features of the
new bill, about which there is some
difference. No protest over the early
adjournment was made. The sena-i
tors have worked faithfully durlnit the
past week and arrest proeress baa been
nmde. There still remain for adjust
ment the maximum and minimum plan,
rates on dressed lumber, the paper and
wood pulp schedules, hides, oil, coal pt(t
iron and a few other schedules. The
proposition that will Rive the finance
commute chief concern will be the Taft
amendment, which it la thought the
committee will accept, providing for a
tax on the net income of corporations
available for dividends.
It is believed Aldrich will try to use
this proposition to sidetrack the income
tax amendment urjred by Iiailey and
t'umrnins. It will be urged as a com
promise. Cummins had a somewhat
simitar plan in his Income tax amend
ment. Karly In the session Taniel of
Virginia presented it as an independent
amendment, flat ley has accepted it and
it Is now a feature of the compromise
Income tax. Aldrich will press it aa
an administration feature, urging that
whatever' danger may exist that the
tariff bill will not provide sufficient
revenue for the government, will be re
moved by receipts from this new tax.
Hv presenting it before the income tax
bill comes up. June 18. and securing
its adoption by both Republican and
I lemocratlc votes, he will be in posi
tion to Insist that it offors enough
new taxation to be carried in any single
Muriff bill and is a sufficient burden
to be placed on The Investor and men
of capital.
President Taft Is" strongly In favor
of the plan, and this fact is being urgej
to whip recalcitrants Into line.
. Aldrich acrused Nelson and Cum
mins, at today's session, of having
abandoned their tariff reform fight
tilnii tb-'y urged that sago flour nas
mi article of food and came in compe
tition v 'tli the starch trust Cummins
paid he opposed putting trust products
on the free list. I'e tr-Flsted that fiago
flour was starch and camo In competi
tion with corn and potato starch, de
stroying protoctlaon to the farmers.
"It Is simply another case," com
mented Nelson, "of farmers of the mid
dle west coming against the cotton
manufacturers of New England. Sngo
starch Is used to stiffen cotton fab
rics." A compromise was reached whereby
Bago flour when used as food went on
the free list. Tapioca flour was sub
jected to the same limitation.
Radium, by Aldrich's consent, was
also put on the free list.
Nelson endeavored to have a limita
tion placed on the1 free admission of
works of art when Intended for public
galleries. He was opposed by Root,

subjects still in dispute and believed
they would be such as to largely satis
fy the demands of the senate and avoid
a very lenerthy debate. There is yet
another very important subject to be
disposed of. an Income tax, uporj which
a vote is expected to be taken Monday.
Hides is Per Cent Ad Valorem.
The senate will place hides on the
dutiable list with a rate o(,ls per cent
ad valorem. At least that will be done
unless Senator Aldrich loses, and he has
been victorious so far In every vote
taken on the tariff bill. The senate
commtttee on finance lias decided to rec
ommend the 15 per cent rate. In the
house hides were on the free list.
The committee at a meeting this af
ternoon fixed the rate on barytes at
$ 1 .CO a ton. which Is the house bill rate.
The Dingley duty is 75 cents a ton.
It was also decided to report, rate
of cent a poojjd on beams and struc
tural Iron worth less than Jl a ton and
4-10 cent a pound on such material
worth more than II a ton.
The duty on various acids and on sul
phate of ammonia will be retained at the
figures appearing In the Aldrich bill.
Articles in several other schedules
were discussed at the meeting, but no
action was taken. It seems probable
that the McCumber amendment greatly
reducing th tariff on common window
glass will be adopted.
The plate glass duty has not been
decided but will probably not be
changed. It has been referred to Sen
ators Smoot and McCumber of the com
mittee. Action on lumber, wood pulp and print
paper was deferred owing to the ab
sence of Senator Hale, who is 111.
Tree Art for JCilUonaires.
Art was given a helping hand by the
rate-makers of the senate today. States
men who have for weeks been revelling
In the complications or paiagrapns aeai
hut with vulgar articles or traae san
the riorv of Michael Angelo and
musters and then voted for free art.
Senator Nelson shocked Kts esthetic
colleagues by an amendment to restrict
such free Importations to puniic, eau
eattonal and religious organizations. He
understood several millionaires had
made collodions abroad and wished to
bring them In.
But he was overwhelmed by Senators
I,odge, Root. Tillman. Money and Car
ter who showed the great educational
value of fine paintings and said the
masterpieces Imported by individuals
finally found their way to public gal
leries. Dixon and McCumber figured
that as other people had to pay 40 per
cent dutv on other necessaries of life,
the rich could afford to pay for adorn
ment of their palaces, hut the free art
provision was adopted by a vote of 63
to 14.
This having been disposed of, the sen
ate, on motion of Aldrich, put yams on
the free list before adjourning to Mon
day. BURIED HYPNOTIST

"Miss Case Is much too old

Never heretofore, not even in New York, has it been possible to show such a tremendous
number of latest Pianola Pianos of each of the various styles and in the various superb and
costly woods and finishes used only by the world-renowned makers of this magnificent art
product.
Six solid carloads of Genuine Pianola Pianos, all of them the latest styles, were shipped
to Eilers Piano House through an awkward misunderstanding on the part of our buyer and the
manufacturers.
Rather than to return the bigger portion of these instruments to the factories at additional
cost for freight charges, insurance, etc., we have decided to accept them. All of these instru
ments are now being displayed at -Eilers Piano House.
Never again will Portland witness a showing of so extensive and superb a variety of styles
and designs.
There's many a "silent" piano in many a home where there ought to be a Pianola Piano,
a genuine Pianola Piano, an instrument that is not "mechanical," but, on the contrary, makes
it possible for every member of the family to produce the choicest of music with perfect indi
viduality and expression. i
We are now prepared to take such "silent pianos" in part payment for one of these very
latest Metrostyle and Themodist Pianola Pianos, and we will make it an object for any owner
of such old style piano to do business with us now.
Will arrange most unusual liberal terms of payment for any responsible buyer, not wish
ing on the spur of the moment to pay . the difference irTcash. ; ; -
If you ever expect to own a Pianola Piano, now is the time to aee about it, at Eilers Piano
House, Retail Department "the always busy corner" at -Park (Eighth) and Washington streets.
