The minister was a fellow student OF
President-elect Moraes at a law school in

was born in Bahia, and was a member OF
the faculty Of a medical college there
until the establishment Of the republic in
1880, when he entered politics, and was
elected to the Senate
Senor Mendonca said the term of the
officers will not begin until Nov. Is, next,
but If the best interests of the country
seem to demand it, President Peixoto

House that the income tax would yield an
annual revenue of $4,000, 600. but IL is held
I'm the Senate committee that $50 600 600
will be more nearly correct, although
Senator Mcpherson contends that this
tax, to which he is opposed will bring
into the treasury more like $50 900 600
Based upon the importations of last year,
the committee also figures that
the increased importations by rea-
son of reduced rates will add
S5u,OOOOOO to the revenues and
that the Senate bill will result at the end
Of its first year in surplus of between
$50, 100000 and SAC, 600 00G in the treasury.
In order to prevent the terms of the bill
from getting out pieCemeal the demo-
Gratis will probably make II public when
laid before the republican members of the
