PROTESTS AGAINST TARIFF BILL.

WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. a-Mr. McMil-
lin, chairman of the subcommittee in
charge of the Internal revenue features of
the tariff bill, outlined today the salien,
feature of the income tax measure, which
he expects TO complete in day or two.
lie said:
"The corporation part of the measure
will not require an inQuisition on every
individual to determine what amount of
corporation stock he holds. but the assess
ment will be made against and paid By the
corporations in the first Instance, and
hence man owning corporate stock will
not be worried bv assessors unless he is
subject TO the individual income tax. A
corporation viii pay the tax of each OF its
incorporators and will in turn charge il up
against them. but TO prevent taxing a man
twice, II corporation pays for the incor-
porator out of the dividends he would de-
rive, he in turn is credited with that
amount in assessing his general income
for taxation. As 10 foreigners and foreign
associations holding interest-bearing
securities in this country. they
will be assessed the same as
our own citizens. and it will not be neces-
sary TO 60 abroad in order to ascertain
these investments, as an assessment
against corporation will cover all of its
stockholders, foreign as we'll as domestic
Collection of the tax will be in the hands
ofthe internal revenue bureau, which will
not necessitate the appointment of new
tax collectors In the various states, but
few additional assessors and deputies will
be required to work under the present
revenue collectors. Ii should be under
stood that the tax will be confined to
about s., 900 people, according to estimates
furnished by the treasury department. so
that no large force will be necessary to
keep track OF sucn comparatively small
class. The individuals taxed will number
not more than third as many men as
were taxed under the old income tax law"
McMiilin says the bill will provide a
means for compelling disclosures as to
incomes somewhat similar to those used
by the severa! states. He says the penal
ties for failing TO report or for false reports
have not yet been fixed.
Jerry Simpson said the Populist section
OF congress would soiidly support the in
come tax plan. He regarded it al opening
the way to free trade, saying that a reve-
nue. tariff will be necessary as long as
revenues are not raised from incomes or
some other source. Simpson asserted thu
the plan will be immensely popular with
the masses.
Representative Tarsney, one of the
members of the ways anu means commit
tee who voted for the income tar. today
met the objection that tremendous oppo-
sstion would come from the class receiving
incomes with the laconic remark: There
are more men driving drays than receiv-
ing incomes"

reference TO the committee on foreign re-
Iations.

the latest device for spreading oil to
calm an angry sea. 1t is the invention
Of a Dane, and called u Wave Sub

the lower end of the bag is securely
fastened brass chamber inches wide

holes a or an inch long, through which
the oil flows. BY means of a plate In

the best device he has ever tried, and

voyage home from the port. He also
says that after numerous experiments
he has ascertained that porpoise oil
is by far the best that can be used for
preventing heavy seas from breaking.

DICKENS, BROTHER.

Like his famous brother, Frederick
Dickens did not agree with his wife-a
beautiful woman-who possessed what
may be called even genius as a musi-
clan. 1t was no mere incompatibility
Of temper in this case, however. The
divergence was vital one; and the
friends OF the lady-as might be ex-
pected- made indignant appeals to the
famous member Of the husbands fam
ily. They, no doubt, supposed In their
panic of distress, that Dickens with all
his reputation, could intervene with
effect; and they did not hesitate to
hint at the scandal which would involve
his own name--borne by his brother.
II was then that Dickens had his say:
mo painful sort of publicity" he
wrote "can possibly alter the fact that
that have no power or shadow Of
power over Frederick, no communica-
ton with him, no knowledge Of his do
ings. do not In the least doubt Il wish

Of my seven boys But one implication

me to observe that / know no one can

and In no other mans"
The last sentence forms sort Of
charter for famous brothers against in
famous brothers, or against brothers
who. as in this case. are, at least, less
than creditable. Among all the pub
lished works Of Dickens no passage ex-
cells this in sterling stand-up dignity;
and l rescue 1t, therefor, from oblivion.
