Mr.. Dingley Says Statements That

The Republican Leader Hopes No
More Will be Taken Than Nccess

New Questions Arise.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE wash-
ington Post will say tomorrow that tho
war tax will not be abolished at the COM
ing short session of Congress and that
there viii be no revision OF the tarif
whatever. 1t bases this announcement
on the positive statement made to-day
by Chairman Dingley of the Ways and
Means Committee, who In AN interview
said: THE government will need for some
time all the revenue produced by the war
taxes. During tho month OF October the
war expenditures exceeded the war rev.
enue by some sl4 900 0oO and this month
they Will be- $4,000. 900 in excess. There
will be no changes at least this fiscal
year. The war revenue act will continue
in force and unchanged, except perhaps
in a few minor administrative features
for at least year longer.
NO TARIFF REVISION
1T Is hardly necessary TO add" contin-
ued Ar. Dingiey. that there will DO no
revision of the tariff. although / have
seen some statements that such a revis-
ion Is contemplated.
The session Is limited TO thron
months" continued MIR. Ddngley. and

to these important questions the usual

From the present outlook. the session
will be we'll under way before the treaty
OF peace with Spain will be laid before
the Senate and the ratification of that
document may not be accomplished long
before the 4th OF March arrives
"Will that necessitate an extra ses-
slon?"
NO EXTRA SESSION.
"It Is. OF course, impossible" said Ne
Dingley. ''to know what will arise be-
tween the first Of December and the
fourth OF next March. but so far as the
present outlook can form a basis for
judgment. should say that no extra ses-
sion will be necessary or desirable unless
some new question should arise.
