Especial 10 the N. x. Tribune.l ,l
WAsHtsoTos, Jan. pa new effort to
secure tho passage of bill to refund
the cotton tax will undoubtedly be made
this winter, and members of the Com
mittee ON Ways and Means have already
been approached by persons wishing
TO secure their support for It. This
tax. which WAS collected between
1865 and 1868, 1t will be remembered,
has been decided by the Supreme Court
OF the United States to have been un-
constitutional. A year ago strong
lobby Was organized for the purpose Of
securing a refund OF this tax. The GER
tificates showing Its payment have been
bought upin the South at nominal rates,
and were said to have been lleid by a
few spectators, and had they succeed
cd, those Interested would have made a
clear profit OF from $3O,OO0,OOO to $780,
00O, 900.
This year several new plans have been
proposed. One Is that the tax shall be
refunded to those who actually paid it,
without regard to present ownership Of
the certificates showing such payment.
