Can- PRESIDENT SIGNS NEW TARIFF BILL Country Will Soon Be Op erating Under Entirely Different System. President Wilson's signing at 9 o'clock last Friday night of the Under - wood-Simmons bill brings into effect one of the most far-reaching revisions of tariff rates and revenue laws enacted for many years, i Simultaneously with the signing of the tariff bill telegrams were sent to the customs collectors 'throughout the country by the Treasury Department patting into effect operation of the first Democratic tariff revision since 1894. A new income tax, applying directly on scores of items of immense import ance to American consumers and a heavy reduction on tariff rates on most ot the articles in general use in this country are its chief features." While certain portions of the new law do not take effect at once, most of its provisions and almost all the direct tariff reductions do. At every port collectors of customs, appraisers of merchsnaiee and hun dreds of other employers of the Treas ury Department will plunge at once into the task ot collecting the Nation's revenue on a new casis, and with hundreds of new classifications and new provisions of law to complicate their activities. The Federal Government has been spending nearly a billion dollars a vear and the new tariff law will raise less than one-third of that sum. Recent estimates by tariff experts in Con gress predict that the rates will raise $249,000,000 a year: and that the in come tax will raise tl22.000.000. The remainder of the Government a great income Is made op principally of in ternal revenue taxes and postal re ceipts. The income tax'probably will bring the new tariff law most forcibly to the attention of citizens. President Wil son and Democratic leaders in Con gresa believe, however, that the reduc tion of duties on clothing, food stuffs and other necessaries of life, and the complete -removal of the duty from many like articles, will eventually bring a redaction in the "cnet of living" without materially affecting business prosperity. A brief summary of the new tariff law as prepared for the Senate fol lows: Average percentage of tariff rates as compared to the value of all im ported merchandise: Old law 37 per cent; new law 27 per cent. Value of annual imports added to the free list, S147.O00.OOO. Estimated revenues from all import rates : Old law $305,000,000. new law j $249 000,000. Estimated revenue from corporation and mcume taxes: Old law $37, 000, 000, new law 1100,000,000. Altogether cosumers in the United States probably will get from abroad free of all tariff, more than $1,000,000, 000 worth of merchandise daring the next year. During 1912 the amount of "free imports" was more than $880,000,000, and when the tariff is entirely removed from wool, suear, iron ore and cheap iron, and other important items, the total is expected to increase notably. Under the old law more than 53 per cent of all goods brought to the United States from all parts of tbe world paid no tariff, and that propor tion will be increased by the new law.

Throughout the long fight over the ill, the Republican attack on the measures baa been directed against those rates which the Republicans de clared were so low as to thresten esiruction to American industries. through tbe competition of foreign manufacturers. The Democratic sup porters of tbe new law bave initiated that except in those cases where pub- c welfare demanded radical changes. the tariff has been reduced only to a point where it will "stimulate compe tition," without turning American markets over to foreigners. A great amo'jnt of work will fall upon the ' Treasury Department, it is ex nee ted, in working out tne detuils of the new income tax and the methods of collecting the direct taxes from individual citizens of the United States. The tax upon coroorations, now fixed at 1 per cent of their income, remains tbe same, and becomes part of the general income tax law. A staff of special deputies, collectors and agents will be employed to organize and conduct tbe work on income tax collection. Provides Irrigation Thos. Acty, of this place is solving the irrigation problem by digging a well seven feet In diameter ,savs the Cedarville Record. At 20 feet he struck a strong flow of water. He then got an engine and pumped the water out and is sinking the well to a depth of 35 teet. Into this he will put a centrifugal pump by means of which he Intends to irrigate a large acreage of alfalfa. This will Increase the product of his ranch at least one third and the investment will psy for itself in one year. That method of procuring water for irrigaton purposes will no doubt be in general use in a few years but Mr. Acty eniovs the distinction of being the first one here to take advantage of that method. ready for publication, wblch it is said will not be nearly so large as laat year, or tne year before that.
