CUT BY TARIFF
Sweeping Reductions in Nearly Every
Line and Large Free List to New
Bill Income Tax to Supply Reve
nue Deficiencies
Bill Proposes to Give Beth Hnms
Power to Ratify Reciprocity w
Trade Treaties With NatlMs
WASHINGTON, April 7. Make4
by most radical and sweeping reduc
tions, nml with the full approval of
President Wilton, tho administration
tnriff bill was introduced in'lno houso
today.
In introducing Iho mensjire its
trainers said that tho time had Ar
rived when American manufacturers
must meet "honest competition and
must develop their business along tlio
best and most economical lines."
Hnckcra of the measure predict it
will easily pass the house nnd that
the senate will have great difficulty
in blocking its enactment into Inw.
Drastic ItaluctlotM.
The.measurc, when introduced, wni
seen to be even more drastic in its
reductions, than was anticipated, and
house lender Oscar Underwood de
clares it will materially reduce th
cost of living. The bill places raw
wool on the free list, riddles schedule
K, puts the sugnr tariff and provides
for free sugar within three years;
cuts the cotton schedule sharply,
which probably will produce lower
cotton prices, puis steel rails on the
free list; slashes all iron and steel
duties, nnd either places on the free
list or reduces to a minimum nil duties
ou the necessaries of life.
Perhaps the chief interest in tho
bill is the cuts made in schedule K.
Tho duty on all yarnB Is reduced to
'JO por cent; on blankets to 25 per
cent; on flannels to 25 per cent to HO
per cent and on dress goods from
9.07 per cent to 25 per cent.
Compound Kates Abolished.
In order to simplify tho bill, tho
committee has practically abolished
all tho specific and compound rates
of the Payne tariffs nnd subsituted
tho ad valorem plan, abolishing tho
present classification which depends
on various conditions, such ns u
count of threads, weight and value.
The income tax clause provides for
1 per cent on all incomes of over
$4,000 annually and additional surtax
of 1 per cent on all incomes In ex
cess of $5,000.
The Income tax clause of tho new
bill defines minutely just what Is
Incomu and leaves no loophole for
the tax iloiU'.ora who live abroad. It
makes all American cltixens, no mat
tor whore they reside, subject to Its
provisions.
Wilson's lucomo Kxempt.
Tho committee has changed Its
mind about applying; the Income to
President Wilson his successors lu
tho office must pay. The exemption
clausn affects only President WIN
son's present torm and also Includes
tho judges of tho United States su
premo and Inferior courtB. It will
enable governors and state officials
generally to escape payment and also
exempts, labor, agricultural, horti
cultural, fraternal, beneficial, roll,
glous, charitable and educational In
stitutions. Tho law also extends to
tho Philippines and Porto Rice.
To empower both houses of con
gress by a majority voto to ratify
reciprocity or trado agreeemnts with
foreign natlous Is the revolutionary
proposal ot tho soctlon substituted lu
tho Underwood tariff bill for the
present maximum and minimum tar
iff provision. This part ot the new
law, It passed, "will abolish the ex
cluslvo senatorial privilege to ratify
such treaties by a two-tlilrd vote.
Wuut It lu Schedules.
Klght democratic members of the
senato finance committee today
urged tho president to ask the house
leaders to divide the tariff bill, In
order thnt It may be considered
schedule by schedule. It Is declared
