WASHINGTON, D. G., Feb. 1.-THE
committee on ways and means to-day
devoted its attention to the principle OF
an income tax as means OF raising
revenue in tho event that tho reduction
Of tho tariff should ever bring the
revenues OF the country below the
legitimate expenses OF government. A
lew days ago Representative Wike, OF
Illinois, introduced series OF rcsolu.
tions endorsing tho income tax theory
and recommending the legislation in
that direction by tho Fifty-second Con-
gross. These resolutions were referred
to the committee OIL ways and means
and that committee to-day accorded
Mr.. Wilse 4 hearing in advocacy OF
his resolutions.
In his argument Mr.. Wike urged the
committee to consider seriously and pro-
pose q plan to supplement any reduc-
ton OF revenue that might follow re-
duction OF tariff duties to an extent that
might threaten depletion in tho treas
ury.
MIR. Wike desired to impress the COM
m!ttee with the Importance Of not per-
mitting the necessities OF the treasury
to nbato i'll the least particular their ef-
forts to reduce largely tho tariff duties,
and in order to remove the hindrancc to
that end he earnestly urged the adop-
ton OF the graduated income tax with
exemptions to tho extent OF 5000. To
the suggestion OF 4 member that the in
come tax was not an equal tax, Mr..
Wikc said the largeexemption proposed
by his resolutions was for the purpose
OF eQualizing the burdens OF taxation by
making the gigantic fortunes and the
excessive and unnatural accumulations
OF trusts, corporations and combinations
OF the country bear n portion OF it.

the second bill Of Importance was TO-
day taken up-tho Indian appropria-
tons. AS is usual in the discussion OF
this bill the Indian agents and their
treatment OF the nations wards came
i'll for good deal OF dcnunciatlon, and
to have heard the manner in which the
humnnitarians OF the house arraigned
the American government Tor its treat
ment OF the aboriginal red man would
gladden. the heart OF European philan-
thropists. But humanity's sentiments
soon gave way to practical politics, and
then the house had half hours enjoy
ment over the lively passage between
Representative Watson, the keen witted
Farmers Alliance member, OF Georgia,
and Representative Funston, the sturdy
Republican DICTATOR OF Kansas.
Mr.. Peel, OF Arkansas, made the open
ing speech rnd fully explained the pro-
visions OF the bill. .Ei
Mr.. stockdale, Of Mississippi, crill-
cised the appropriations for the Indian
school at Carlisle, Pa, characterizing it
as hundred thousand dollar folly.
Mr.. Watson, of Georgia, said that his
heart was bleeding with sense OF dis
tress ior the people he represented, but
his voice would never be raised against

for the red men OF the west. Applause. !

ness in the treatment OF other people,
but justice to themselves. He was ire
quently interrupted by Mr.. Funston,
OF Kansas, (whom ho dubbed Farmer
Funston, and the colloquy between the
two gentleman was amusing, though
carried on amid confusion which rem
dered their voices almost indistinguish-
able.
The confusion was great and it was in
vain that tho chairman reminded Mr..
Funston that the gentleman from
Georgia could not DO interrupted with
out his consent. Mr.. Funston was per-
sistent in his queries and his persistcncy
led to Mr.. Watson inquiring "who is
boss, the chairman or the gentleman
from Kansas" Continuing Mr. Watson
ettacked the national banking laws and
many OF his statements were contra
dicted by Mr.. Funston. Ono OF Mr..
Funston's queries was "Docs the gentle
man mean to say that the government
loans money to national banks for the
purpose Of circulation?"
"Thcro is no gentleman who has
heard me that does not understand
me" was Mr.. Wa.sons terse response.

Mr.. Funston, that the government has
