What the People Will Pay Less and More For President Taft's Fight For Down ward Revision. After one of the bitterest aud one of the most momentous legislative du el In the history of tho national cap ital the new tariff measure, the Payne bill, hag been completed. The progress of the bill through the legislative mill of both bouses was eventful enough to satisfy the most pronounced cravers for parliamentary warfare. The real battle opened when the bill (house report 14.'JH was re ceived In the senate and referred to the committee on finance, April 10. Aldrlch of Khode Island, the leader of the senate as chairman of the llnance committee, subsequently became chair man of the conference committee, which was appointed to adjust the dlf ferenecs arising between senate and house and between both houses of congress and the president T.ft For Frse Hides. The report of the conference com mittee which determined what would be the provisions of the Payne bill In Its final form was a victory for Pres ident Taft. He Informed all of the conferees that hides must be placed on tho free list, together with petro leum, crude and refined. They there upon decided to cut the Dlngley tariff on hides to 8 per cent. The president beard the news and sent word thut he had meant what he had said about free hides. The figures were then lowered to 7 per cent. Now Chairman Sereno K. Payne of the ways aud means committee decided to demon strate that his original bill, providing for free hides should no longer be sub jected to the einasculatory operations of the majority of the conferees. He announced that not even a 5 per cent duty on hides would be accepted by either himself or the house. "Without free hides this tariff bill will not pass the house," he was quoted as saying. The tariff came off hides lnstanter. and as quickly was oil put on the un taxed schedule, together with gaso line, benzine and naphtha. The leather, rough lumber, print paper, coal and Iron and glove schedules ranked next In Importance during the closing days of the controversy. If hides came In free, tho Important New England boot and shoe manufac turing interests would consent to a re duction of the tariff on their products, otherwise they would continue to fight. The solving of the hides problem left It a simple matter to agree to lower duties on boots and shoes the Ding ley rate being 25 per cent. Saddlery and harness were cut to 40 per cent, as against the Dlngley rate of 45 per cent. The president resorted to the unusual method of sending n written message to the conference committee demanding lower rates On lumber and gloves than the Payne bill provided, and he secured them. Wool and Cotton. The wool schedule underwent no change of consequence, but the entire cotton schedule was reconstructed and the phraseology greatly changed In the hope of preventing reductions through decisions by the courts such as have characterized the administration of tho Dlngley law during recent years. In many Instances the rates Intended to be imposed by the Dlngley law were cut by these doclslons, the reductions In some Instances being from 0 per cent to 8 per cent ad valorem. Probably the most marked reduc tions are found In the metal schedule. 1 leg Inning with a decrease in the rate of Iron ore from 40 to 15 cents per ton. there Is a general reduction throughout that pnrt of the bill, pig iron going down from $4 to f&OO per ton and scrap Iron from $4 to $1. The reduc tion on many of the Items In this schedule amounts to about BO per cent. ltough lumber goes down from $1.50 to $1,118 ier thousand feet, with a cor responding reduction In the differential on dressed lumber. The president was subjected to se verest pressure from botli the upward aud downward revisionists throughout. The upward revisionists told him that a reduction of duty on hides and leather manufactures would make the next congress Democratic, In which event they argued that Taft would not possibly lie renominated for the pres idency. Tho "downwards" told him that ltoosevelt would surely be the next Republican candidate for presi dent If the campaign promises for a downward revision wero not fulfilled. The Corporation Tax. The president had a highly difficult task also In preserving his si heme for a corporation tax Intact In the Payne bill. This feature Is clearly the most unpopular one In tho entire measure, so far as members of the senate and house were concerned. Many of the members argued to the president that the tax as provided for was uncon stitutional. Itcsolutlons will be Intro duced lu the various state legislatures coudemnlug the act and recommend lng its repeal, according to statements made by various congressmen In Washington. The corporation tax of 1 per cent on the entire net Income over and above $5,000 received by corporations from all sources, exclusive of certain Items must be paid on or before June 30 each vear.

It bus just come to our notice that many housekeepers have been induced to purchase an inferior phosphate bak ing powder gelling at -5 cents er pound.

Always read the laliel and Me that it reads creuin of tartar, soda and starch. statements of u fraudulent nature are subject to a fine of $1,000 and im prisonment for one year. During the closing days of the tar iff controversy, before the bill was voted on for tlual passage, over forty Republicans who had grievances of one sort or another against certain of the provisions of the bill stated that they would vote against It. They had It In their power to defeat the meas ure aud force the president to call tOOtber special session In September or October. They hnd the party lead ers plainly worried for a time, but the able peacemakers at the capital, Including President Taft himself, suc ceeded in calming toe milled waters at last. HISTORY OF THE BILL The new tariff law will be known In history as the Payne bill, taking Its name from the chairman of the house committee of ways and means, the Hon. Sereno B, Payne of New York, who also had a part In framing the McKlnley and Dlngley acts. Actually It should perhaps be called the Payne Atdrlcb bill, as the chairman of the senate finance committee has had quite as niucn to uo wan uiciauiig us mini provisions as Mr. Payne. On this line of reasoning, however, there are those who Insist that it should be called the Tuft bill, as tho hand of the president has been seen In all the moves that have shaped It from the days of the Republican natlonnl convention that nominated him and adopted a plank for tariff revision up until the hour of the final fight In conference committee, when the big man In the White House made his historic light for free raw materials and for carrying out the promises of the party. It Is the first time there has been a change of the tariff laws In twelve years, the Dlngley act having gone Into effect In 1807. Tho Inception of that law was strikingly like that of the present, In each case It was en acted by an extra session of congress, called as the first act of an incoming administration. More noteworthy still, each of these extra sessions was called to meet on March 15, the first one having been Issued by William McKin ley of Ohio, the last by William How ard Taft of Ohio. Tha Tariff Plank. The agitation within the Republican party for I revision of the Dlugley act has gone on from the days of the "Iowa Idea" until at last it culminated In the plank lu the last Republican platform beginning: "The Republican party declares un equltucally for a revision of the tar iff by a special scsbIoii of congress Im mediately following the Inauguration of the next president." In his campaign on that platform Mr Tii ft construed this plank as mean ing revision downward, a point that he Insisted on in his speeches and finally Unehed In his inaugural address when he said that conditions had so changed relative to the Dlngley act that they 'will permit the reduction of rotes In ertaln schedules and will require the advancement of few. If any." That meant revision downward, which was recognized substantially by the house bill, but was changed to actual re vision upward by the senate bill. It was at tills point that the president quietly but firmly Injected himself into the fight In the conference M tween the two houses, the house stand ing behind him and forcing the senate to yield. The Tnyne bill In 1U present form Is the result. First Tariff Bill. The first tariff bill enacted In the (lulled States was that of the First congress. The opening section of that bill stated that, In addition to securing money for the support of the govern ment, the tariff was adopted for "the encouragement and protection of man nftctarei." Prom that time political parlies of natlonnl scope have clashed on the Issue of the tariff as to whether or not it should be more than "for revenue only." The expenses of the war of 1812 necessitated a material Increase In the tariff, but an adjustment occurred two rears after the close of the war through an act prepared by Henry Clay. In 182S the tariff was Jumped up a few pegs, and a year later It went higher, from 81 to 41 PW cent. When, In 18:12, a bill establishing a protective tariff policy was passed south Carolina refused to recognlae the validity of the Increased duties and threatened to secede. President Jackson had to dispatch a warship to South Carollnalan waters. A horizontal reduction of the tariff look place In 1883, Twelve years later, under Polk's administration, a bill drafted by Robert J. Walker, secretary of the treasury, w as adopted, standing inlldlv for the protective policy. This bill lasted until 1857. w hen a reduction to 20U per cent occurred OU the mer- sge duties Actually a free trade sys tem, this low tariff proved adequate for all government needs until the out break of the civil war, when an In creased Income was necessitated. The Morrill Bill. The Morrill act of 18(11 Increased duties about one third, and the tax was extended to Include tea, coffee and sugar. Internal revenue was col lected, beginning In 18(12, and two years later the duties were raised 50 per cent for u period of ninety days. After a succession of tariff measures to the war's close a cessation of this form of legislative activity occurred Hut In 1870 and 1872 reductions were made down the list, some of which were restored In 1874, making the av erage duty 38M, per cent. A tariff commission was appointed In 1882 which prepared a bill that was put on tin. stuno.. r.H. UMtug six years. It was at this time that James Q. Blaine took a most active part In tariff dis cussions. It was in the early eighties that William It. Morrison of Illinois, Democratic chairman of ways and means, prepared his well known hor izontal reduction of 20 per cent on all taxed products, which was defeated. During Cleveland's first administra tion the Mills bill was a powerful Is sue, and In 1888 the tariff fight result ed In the election of Benjamin Har rison to the presidency. He stood for a high protective tariff. As a result the McKlnley bill was enacted, putting the duties over the marks reached dur ing the civil war. Tha Wilson Bill. But the revulsion which followed re sulted In the re-election of Cleveland In 1892, with a Democratic congress. Then resulted the Wilson bill, provid ing for wholesale reductions, particu larly as regarding Iron and steel man ufactures. It should be noted that the Dlngley bill In 1807 retained practl colly the Iron and steel duties laid down In the Wilson measure. Though William McKlnley was elect ed on the financial Issue In 1890, bis first act after being sworn In as presi dent was the calling of an extra ses sion of congress to repeal the Wilson Gorman tariff bill. The result of that session was the Dlngley law, named for Its author, Nelson Dlngley, Jr., of Maine, which put the schedules prac tically bock on the McKlnley basis.
