Coils P. Huntington's Recipe for Getting

According to Coils P. Huntington. of

DELUsIvE FIGURES.

The Senate finance committee has issued
an "officialp comparison between the
duties of the Wilson bill as it passed the
House and of the same bill as amended
by German and Brice. This compar-
ison shows that the average duty of the
first is 35. 50 per cent and the average
duty of the second is sc. rs, or only about
one Fer cent higher.
We suppose the purpose of this official"
comparison is to delude those Democrats
who think the tariff bill should conform
in some degree with the platform, into
the idea that the Senate bill is substan-
TALLY as much a compliance with it as
the House bill, and tn at the claim that
the Senate has been raising duties is
unfounded. Technically, the official
comparison is correct, and yet it conveys
very erroneous impression. In the
House bill, raw sugar. coal and coke
and iron ores were free. In the Senate
bill all are on the dutiable list. Last
year the aggregate importation of these
articles was 1921, 1898, 20S &c. The average
duty of the House bill of 35. 50 is COM
puted on an aggregate Importation of
$3.50, 100000 The average duty of the
Senate bill is computed upon this
amount with the amount derived from
sugar, coal and coke, iron ores and
several other articles onEthe free list in
the House bill added, making the aggre-
gate about $500, 10000 That is to say,
the 1915 per cent of the Senate bill
taxes the country about S65, 900, 000 more
than the 35. So per cent of the Senate
bill. The Senate has kept the average
duty down by increasing the articles
taxed to the extent of $3.50, 1000, 600.
1t has played just the same trick that
is played sometimes by tax assessors in
municipalities where they keep the rate
down by increasing the valuation. Our
esteemed contemporary, the Argus, has
heen deceived by this trick. 1t says the
average duty under the Senate bill is
only LIB higher than under the original
Wilson bill, which is true, but it is
rot true that the taxation of the Senate
bill is not very much higher than the
House bill, because the rate of that
bill has been kept down by increasing
the number of articles Oh which n duty
is levied. The House bill imposes an
average duty of IS. So per cent on IMPORTS
OF $3.50, 900, 900, the Senate bill imposes

LOCHREN MAY RETIRE.
CIeveInnd's Pension ScapegOat May
BE Made Federal Judge.
Cnapia1 m the IudiananoltS Journal

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-An unofficial an
nouncement that Commissioner Lochren is
to be appointed United States judge, with
headquarters at his old home, Minneapolis,
recalls the fact that very few commission
ers of pensions have served their full four
years. The office is a thankless one. The
Commissioner is made the scapegoat of the
administration, the go-between of the party
in power and he gets little credit for what
he does.
One of the oldest and most skillful Demo-
cratic chiefs of division at the Pension Office,
promotion of Commissioner Lochren TO the
bench, said Judge Lochren is really
friend to pensioners. He would be almost
as liberal any of his predecessors il he
had his way. But / can tell you, more or
less confidentially, that the present Com
missioner of Pensions has no more control
over the affairs of his bureau than 1 have.
All Of the orders he has issued were directed
by the Secretary of the Interior, and all
appointments and promotions are dictated
in the same quarter If the Republican
party or the pensioners want to get after
anyone on the pension question they should
direct their guns higher than the Commits
sioner of Pensions. They should shoot at
President Cleveland and Hoke Smith Judge
Lochren has realized that there is no credit
for any man to be Commissioner of Pen
slSns under this administration. and he will

his new position. The Office of Commission
er of Pensions is a very disagreeable and
power to run affairs under his own discre-
ton"

THE INCOME TAX.
How 1t Will Be Collected from Cor
pOratiOns if the Scheme Is Adopted.

us
WASHINGTON, JAN Representative
McMilln, chairman of the subcommittee
in charge of the internal revenue feature
of the tariff bill, outlined to reporter to-
day the salient feature Of the income-tax
measure, which he expects to complete in
a day or two. He said:
''The corporation tax part of the meas
ure will not require inquistion on ev-
cry individual to determine what amount
of corporate stock he holds, but the as
sesSment will be made against and paid bv
the corporations in the first instance and
hence a man owning corporate stock will
not be worried by assessors unless he is
subject to an individual income tax The
corporation will pay the tax of each of it's
incorporators, and will in turn charge il up
against them. But, TO prevent taxing a
man twice, II a corporation pays for an in
corporator on the dividends he would de-
rive, he, in turn, is credited with that
amount in assessing his general income for
sociationS holding interest-bearing securi-
ties in this country they will be assessed
the same as our own citizens. 1t will not
be necessary to go abroad in order TO as
certain these investments, as the assess
ment against the corporation will cover all
of it's stockholders. foreign as we'll as do
nestle.
'"The collection of the tax will. be in the
hands of the Internal Revenue Bureau 1t
will not neceSsitate the appointment Of
new tax collectors in the various States,
but a few additional assessors and dep4r-
ties will be required to work under the
present revenue collectors. 1t should be
understood that the tax Will be confined to
about 5000 people, according to estimates
furnished me by the Treasury Department: /:
so that no large force will be necessary
TO keep track Of such a COMPARE tively
small. class. The individuals taxed will
number not more than one-third as many
men as were taxed under the old income
tax law"
Mr.. McMillin says the bill will provide
means for compelling disclosures as to in
comes somewhat similar to the methods
used by the several States. He says the
penalties for failing to report or for false
reports have not yet been fixed.
Representative Jerry Simpson says that
the Populist section of Congress would
solidly support the income-tax plan. He
regards il opening a way to free trade
saying that revenue tariff will be nee
essary as long as revenues are not raised
from incomes or some other source Mr.
Simpson asserts that the plan will be i'm

CleveIand's Bond Scheme.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Representative
Bryan, OF Nebraska, free-silver Demo-
crat, after all, appears to hold the whip
handle upon the administration, and will
be heard from ands felt in such a way
TO compel President Cleveland to respect
IL not fear him. 1t will be recalled that the
administration recently snubbed him in his
State convention. He is member of the
ways and means subcommittee having in
charge the subject of public debt. To this
subcommittee, composed also of McMillin,
of Tennessee, and Whiting, of Michigan,
was referred the bond question The adj
ministration is very anxious for authority
to issue $780, 10000 or more of bonds with
which to meet current expenses, fill the
deficiency vacuum and replenish
the gold reserve. Mr.. Bryan is opposed to
bond issue for any purpose, and SO are
his two colleagues on the subcommittee.
The work OF preparing a report against
the administrators proposition to issue
bonds will fall upon Mr.. Bryan or, rather,
1t has already been referred to him, and
he is now collating data from which he
will prepare an adverse report 1t is very
likely that Mr.. Bryan will take occasion to
Indirectly score the administration for its
inability to so manage the affairs of the
government to not only avoid bond
ISSUE but reduce the public debt. If he
draws data from Republican administra-
tions he will find that under that party
the public debt was steadily reduced and
no thought of a Republican President was
entertained for bond issue
1t thus appears that Mr.. Bryan can very
nearly. If not quite, defeat a bond issue.
He can hold the subject in the hands of the
subcommittee and refuse TO report 1t at all
unless the majority vote to take the subject
out of his hands. Then he can present his
adverse report, and in it score the admins
tration and put the administration party on
the defensive Just now William Jennings
BRYAN is no slOuch in the estimation of the
present occupant of the White House and
Secretary Carlisle and he may yet compel
them to show him some respect 1t is a
long lane that has no turn. 1t looks as
though bond issue may be defeated.
