THE HEWITT BILL USED.
The remainder of the bill is made
up entirely of the leading features of
the old Hewitt administrative bill.
Such is the similarity clause and pro-
visions intended to guard against the
smuggling and exempting of theatrical
scenery and wardrobes when intended
for temporary use in the United
States, and tourists wearing apparel.
There is clause providing for the
taxation of cartons or coverings, and
sections intended to prevent false in
voice and undervaluations, and pro-
viding for the punishment of persons
guilty of these offenses; the extension
OF warehouse privilege to three
years; the abolition of allowances
for damage in warehouses; abolition
Of all fees upon entries of imported
goods and requirements that invoices
shall be submitted to the United
States consular officers before export
alton to the United States the Sec
tons relative to appeals in customs
cases and limiting the time within
which such suits can be brought; the
bestowal Of sole jurisdiction in trial of
suits against United States collectors
upon United States Circuit Courts,
and penalty clause directed against
the attempted bribery of customs
officers.
ESTIMATE OF THE REDUCTIONS.
The latest estimates made by the
Committee on Ways and Means of
the probable reduction in revenue
that would be effected by the passage
of the bills are as follows: Chemicals
$3.50, 900, China and glass 81 900 600,
cottons $277 900, provisions $500, 900
(approximate), woolen goods $12, 300
900, sundries 81 900, 900, paper so, 800
600, sugars $11 ,090, 900, hemp, fax
and jute 81 800, 900, metals 81 SOC, 900
approximately. Free list $22, ,25O, 900.
This would make a reduction of about
$53 ,000,0
Chairman Mills said to day that
internal revenue changes had been
purposely excluded from the bill.
The Democratic members were still
considering that subject, and it was
not possible to say at this time
whether the reductions would result
in the presentation of another bill
dealing specifically with internal
revenue or in the inclusion OF some
provisions bearing upon that system
in the present bill at some future
stage.
