VAR TAX REDUCTION.
Treasury Receipts Are to Be Lowered
In This Manner.
CUT BEERANDTOBAOCO RATES
Secretary Gage Agrees That Special
Imposts Should BE Abolished.
Bankers, Brokers, Bonds, Thea
ters, Etc, Are Affected.

Washington, Nov. 10.-The reduction
of the treasury receipts is to be through
reductions of tax on beer, tobacco and
possibly whisky, together with the abo-
lition of all special taxes. The special
taxes include those on bankers, billiard
rooms, brokers, stocks, bonds. bowling
alleys, circuses, theaters and concert
halls.
The decision as to internal revenue
tax reduction practically has been
made in Washington i'll the conferences
of the last two or three days. Con.
gresham Payne. the chairman of the
ways and means committee, is to pre-.
pare report upon the subject for the
framing of a bill
The best information obtainable is
that more than S5000O,O00 will be lop-
ped off. Some of the ways and means
committee members want reduction
of S7D,O01,000.
The plan is to cut the tax on beer
from Sl.G0 barrel to a fiat dollar rate.
This will cause Il reduction of $1,000
600 III the internal revenue receipts, the
estimate heing made upon the produc-
tion Of beer IN 1901 and 1890.
Reduction of Tobacco Tax.
II is understood further that the
plans of the house leaders contemplate
a reduction Of the tax upon tobacco
from clio cents. the present rate, to
q cents. This will mean, if carried out,
a reduction OF more than SS0n0.00O If
the reductions as finally decided upCa
are in the line indicated upon beer,
tobacco and the abolition of the spe
cial taxes, there will be Il total retluc
tion Ill the internal revenue receipts of
about So3,OGp,0HO, which is the amount
given as Il minimum of what il desired
Secretary Gage has refused to con-
firm statements which have been made
that he agrees to the internal revenue
tax reductions proposed. He admits,
however, the advisability and deSila.
bility Of abolishing the special taxes,
yielding about S4,5D00OO. The depart
ment has had many complaints from
those interested, and there has been
much trouble and expense in the col
lection Of these special taxes. while the
returns to the government have been
only tfitllng compared With the annoy
ance experienced III their collection.
The secretary probably will persist
in his attitude against il big reduction
IN the beer tax. He maintains that the
tax IS easy Of collection and has not
proved onerous. Ii the secretary errs.
he wants TO err on the side of conserya.
tism instead Of placing himself in Il po.
sition to be criticised for having ad-
vised Or asscntcd to Il programme OF
tax reduction which might result iii Il

officers guilty of looting in China,
against which there Is now consider
