THE VIEWS OF Mr.. TUCKER on THE INTERNAL
REVENUE BILL--PERsONAL NEWS ITEMS
SENATOR JoHNsToy's AHESDNENTS-
BRIEFS.
fFrom Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 1.-Mr. Tucker OBJ
taincd, as did many others, permission TO
publish his views on the internal-revenue
bill, and they win appear in to-morrow's
Record. He says he voted against it, not
because Of what il did, but because OF what
It did not. He flvors the abolition Of the
tax on matches, on checks, on bank de-
posts, bank capital, &C., as well as the re-
duction OF the tax on cigars and cigarettes,
and gives his reasons why he does this;
but be opposed the bill because it did not
relieve tobacco and beer OF taxation and
reduce the tax on whiskey. His ar
rument in favor Of the abolition OF
the tobacco tax is clear and conclusive.
lie shows how outragcously the tobacco
planter is Disseminated against and what
| injustice is done him in the matter Of taxa
ton. lie declares himself in favor OF the
abolition OF the entire system OF internal
revenue taxation, and the raising through
the tariff OF the money necessary to carry
on the Government. This will, he says.
make the tariff revenue one, because
money cannot be raised by a prohibitory
tariff. An overlooking treasury, he con-
tends, encourages extravaganza. and a
moderately filled one economy. 1t is false
idea, in his judgment, that money raised
by taxation is again distributed among the
people; for he argues that taxes are col
lected from the many and go into the
pockets OF the few.
Late this evening Mr.. Tucker succeeded
in getting the House to take up and pass
the bill abolishing tie export tax on tobac-
co. The indications are that the Senate
will concur in the action OF the House.
