The tariff bnl reported to the fun COM
mittee OF the Senate yesterday Is the |
principal topic at the Capitol to-day. IHe
many concessions made in the bill have
done much towards disarmimg the op-
/ position. but some dissatisfaction is stiii
very apparent.
The friends OF coal are not enthusiastic
over measure that allows duty OF
only forty cents a ton, and an enort
will certainly be made to have the rate
fixed at nfy cents at least.
Tile Kentucky people and the large
| dlstiiitrs from other States are IN hish
good humor over the recommendation 90
extend tine bonded period 20 eight years
and feel they are fully compensated Tor
/ the additional tax Of ten cents per gallon.
Commissioner OF Internal Revenue Mii-
Ter, who Was at the Capitol this morn
ing in conference with Senator Vest and
other members Of the Finance Commit
tee. favored this extension. He said the
law would not discriminate against the
small grain and fruit disuilers for the
want Of bonded warehouses. That the
| Government would establish bonded ware
houses az any point at which five th0us-
sand gallons of distilled spirits could be
collected This Will be OF very little ad-
vantage. however. 10 the small operators.

to dispose Of their stock before the
ink dries on the stamps
Commissioner Miller was very out
spoken i'm his condemnation OF the free
leaf clause in the present law. and says
that If something Is not done TO prevent
the indscriminate sale Of leaf tobacco,
there will be- serious trouble. He does
not desire 10 curtat in the least, the
privileges now enjoyed by the farmer or
tobacco producer. but insists that anyone
other than these who engaged in the
sale of leaf tobacco should be classed
as a manufacturer and taxed according
ly.

Mr. Mcclure, Of California. some time
