Among the other important law,en. acted are those repealing the war reve- nue taxes, extending and making more effective tlie Chineao exclu.ion law, establhhing a tariff of goods to .nd from the Philippines; extending file charter of national tanks for 20 year-' establishing a permanent cenrus oflny; restricting the sale of oleomargarine by placing a high tax on imitation butter; providing a consular and diplomatic service for Cuba; establishing an ex tensive system by which the govern ment will aid in the irrigation of th* arid sections of the west. The repeal of the war revenue tuM has reduced taxation »73,350,000, »nd ie said to be the largest single reduc tion of taxation ever made in thiscoun- try. Bv this step the last of the tai« imposed at the beginning of our war with Spain are wiped out. The Phil. i(>pine tariff act impose** 75 per cent nf tlie Dingley tariff rates on articles com ing from the Philippines to the United States, and also imposes duty on arti cles entering the Philippines from the United States. The oleomargarine act results from several years’ agitation. It places a tax of 10 cents a pound on substances colored to imitate butter. Tbe irrigation act is of social im portance to tlie West. It creates an ir rigation fund in tl.e treasury <iepart- ment into which is to be paid tlie pro ceeds of the sales of public lands in the ari l states. This iund in turn is to be used in storing water and establishing irrigation systems, the irrigation sec tions to l>e open to homesteaders, who are to be charged a proportionate share of the cost of the improvement. The Chinese exclusion law continmi exclusion ‘‘until otherwise provided by law,” and also applies the exclusion “to the island territories under the jur- ¡■diction of the United States.” The amount of the appropriations i f the session will run unusually high, owing in part to the amount required to build the isthmian canal. When Mr. Cannon submitted a general esti mate of appropriations a few weeks .go, he made the total up to that time »691,445,000. Since then the canal bill has Ixsn passed, carrying a present appropriation of »40,000,000 for the franchise and enough more for tbe rights of Colombia and for lieginning the work to carry the total up t<> »5»,* 000,000. The entire cost of the under taking is approximately »184,000,000.
