THE SENATE BILL.
Horizontal Reduction OF Revenue
Taxes MADE

Washington. January 2l.-Ths Ssnats
oommittse has practically completed con-
sidsrltion OF the revenue reduction bill
The committee has completsly changed
the character OF the Hons, bill, and in
stead OF repsaling entirely most OF the
various taxes, the revised bill will pro-
vide largely for horizontal reduction OF
fifty pr cent on nesrly the ent'rS list
The tax OF two. cents on each 500 for
promIssory notes Is one OF the exceptions
to the horizontal plan, that tax being
abolished entirsly. rhe House bill rs-
psaled the tax OF two cents on bank
checks and drafts. Under the Finance
Committes's plan these taxes will be at
one cant each. Ths House abolished the
tax of one cent each on teleerams and ex-
prass receipts, while under the new bill
the tax will be one-haIf cent, with a
provision that instsad of being paid by
the public they shall be paid by the cor
purations and ecountsd for In the same
way the tax on telephone messages is
now collected. Ihs tax on oonveyancss,
which the House abolished, is TO be re-
stored, reduced 80 psr cent, and the mini
mum amount which is subject to taxa
tion is TO be increased 30 as to exempt
transfers OF small properties.
Ths commi ttee has made destination
between patent medicines and proprietary
msdioines, the tax on the latter being
abolished, willis on patent medicines
ard cosmetics the present tax will be re-
ducsd one-half, leaving 1t ons-eight OF q
cent for each 10 cents Of value. The tax
on manufactured tobacco. whicn the
House retained, the revifei bill will re-
ducs from l2 cents to cents, a cut or go
psr cent, In the additional tax imposed
by the War Revenue act. This will en-
tail less OF 5000, 900 TO $40. .000,0 ,00O In
the receipts OF the Government.
The committee has not yet definitely
fixed the reduction on cigars, which the
House out from So 50 TO 81 per thousand
1t is probable the rate will be compro-
missed at SO 20 or 90 30.
The tax on beer is another item which
remains uuaoted on. The War Revenue
act increased the tax from 81 to 81 per
barrel but allowed ~ per cent dis
count, which left at 81 SO net. This was
reduced by the House to Si.O0. A further
reduction Of 10 cents barrel will prob
ably be made ty the Senate, which, to-
Rether with the repeal of the discount al

TO have extraordinary strength to with

stern lifts out of the water during a
pitch. Then the propeller blades have
nothing to play against except air, and
naturally they begin TO race. While they
are whzzing around at top speed they
souse into the water again, and you can
imagine the shock! 1t makes the whole
ship tremble like a scared horse. IL there

Could spare 500 For Church.
"Circus people as a rule are the best
travelling class railroads have to deal
with" said a railroad man who has
had much to do with such combinations.
"They are always found to be close fig
urers, presenting a million and one con-
tentions, asking as many, II not more,
courtesies, but in the end the results are
generally satisfactory to both parties.
at is only within the last few years
that railroads began handling circus out
fits. The country road and wagon once
afforded a cheap method of transporta-
ton between small towns, where nickels,
dimes and quarters rarely ever failed to
be taken in by the hatful. Those not
on country roads were found on the
large rivers, shifting their dates to suit
the seasons all the way from st. Paul
and Cincinnati to Cairo, Ills, and New
Orleans. The late Colonel Dan Rice,
who probably pleased more people as q
clown than any other sawdust king, was
a striking figure among the performing
river craft and one of the first to put his
show on the rails.
"This was back in 1873, when a panic
swept over the country and river towns
had hit the sky, right and left, for the
show business. Rice and his animals were
tied up at st. Louis, waiting for times
to grow better, when a trading firm offer
ed a good lump sum for his boats. he
figured it was go broke in almost any
event, SO he sold, and then began TO tour
eastward with a train of borrowed cars
1t was a big undertaking, even for Rice,
who was about the richest in the business
in those days. but everything went rea-
sonably well until he started to enter In
diana The last Illinois town was rot
ten The show had hardly made AMI
NAL meat to say nothing of the money
to get to another stand. AS last resort
Colonel Rice soaked the show to the rail
road company TO put him into Vincennes
just over the state line, agreeing that the
company's agent there should play door
keeper and hold out what was coming
Vincennes did not look whit good. The
town was dead and the inhabitants
wouldn't enthuse a bit over the bum band
and bright colored wagons. An hour be
fore the afternoon performance was to
begin found Colonel Rice pacing in front
OF the main entrance, figuring with him
self for dear life, when a party of ladies
approached.
"'Colonel Rice they began, I'VE have
always heard of you as very charitable
gentleman and unfortunately our church

up a railroad asked to give money away
but he was equal 10 the occasion, when

business here, I'll not only contribute to
