senator Lodge Proposes = Plan 20
Increase Revenue.

Washington, July 3.--The provision
for tax on stock and bond transac-
tons In connection with the tariff bill.
which was agreed upon at the caucus
OF republican senators. was suggested
by Senator Lodge. OF Massachusetts,
and grew out of a statement that with
the tea and beer provisions withdrawn
the tariff bill was likely to fall short
to the extent of Si5.o0o.o0o in provid.
ing sufficient revenue to meet the de-
mands of the government.
The suggestion as made 10y Senator
Lodge was that tax of two cents
per share should be levied upon every
share of stock sold at a stock exchange
or at any other place, and that simi-
lar tax OF two cents should be collected
upon all bonds sold on the stock ex-
changes or elsewhere. The caucus ac-
cepted the suggestion. but decided 20
leave the formulation of the amend
ment, with possible change OF rates.
TO the finance committee. The COM
mittee took the matter up at its early
meeting Friday. but did not reach a
definite conclusion as 10 the details In
volved In the proposition. A rough
estimate places the amount of rev.
enue the provision will furnish ut 81
10000
Reciprocity and retaliation clauses
were adopted by the senate as part OF
the tariff bill Friday. The retaliatory
clause provides that whenever any
country bestows an export bounty on
any article there shall be levied, in nd
dition to the duties provided by the act.
an additional duty equal TO the amount
of the bounty.
The reciprocity clause empowers the
president, with the advice and consent
of the senate, 10 make reciprocity
treaties giving 20 per cent. reduction in
duties on designated articles. or plnc-
ing articles on the free list.
