REVENUE TARIFF BILL
MEASURE TO MEET THE NEW SITUA-
TION IN THE PHILIPPINES.
IL Is Discussed by Republican Menu
bers of the Ways and Means
Committee and Mr.. Root.

WASHINGTON. Dec 9.-Chairman
Payne, Of the ways and means committee,
to-day presented to his Republican col
leagues Of the committee a revenue tariff
bill for the Philippines. which he had
drawn TO meet the conditions Of the re-
cent Supreme Court decision. The Repub-
lican members of the committee met at
1920 o'clock this morning to continue the
discussion of the general subject. The
meeting was executive and was prelimi-
nary TO a full meeting of the committee
tomorrow morning, when Philippine tar
if measure will be submitted to the Dem
ocratic members and be voted upon.
The Payne bill is quite brief. with two
main features, namely: Applying the
Dingley law as against Philippine exports
to this country, and applying the Philip
pines commissions tariff schedule to goods
entering the Philippines. A further section
grants rebate Of customs tax on goods
which have paid an internal revenue tax
in this country There is no proviso in
the measure that it shall be temporary,
so that the rates. if imposed, would be APP
plicable until Congress otherwise orders:
Mr.. Russell, Of Connecticut, and other
Republican members strongly favored a
proviso to the bill by which the tariff
rates would be scaled down from 10 TO 20
per cent on goods passing between the
was urged on the ground that Great Brit
ain now had 40 per cent. of the trade OF
the Philippines and Germany and other
European countries held a considerable
percentage, while the United States had
but per cent. of the trade. For this rea-
son it urged by Mr.. Russell that the
United States should have some conces-
sions as against foreign countries in order
10 gain a fair percentage OF the trade Tor
American goods
Secretary Root. accompanied by Colonel
Edwards, chief of the Insular Division OF
the War Department, was with the Repub-
lican members OF the committee through
out the afternoon going over the situation.
Mr.. Root emphasized the fact that the new
tariff of the Philippines commission has
gone into effect only a few weeks ago, on
Nov. 10, and he favored a continuance by
Congress of the rates established by the
commission. Representative Russell there
upon determined not to further urge the
proposition he had put forward earlier in
the day for a 10 per cent. preference to
American goods. The committee took no
final action, adjourning until tomorrow,
when measure may be agreed upon.
After the meeting the members stated
that, while no conclusions had been reached
and no votes taken, the discussions and the
hearing of Mr.. Root had practically deter
mined that the Taft tariff rates of Nov. IS
would be applied against goods entering the
United States from the Philippines. The
proposal to grant a rebate of tax on goods
paying an internal revenue tax is still un-
der discussion, with the prospect OF it's be-
ing incorporated in the final draft of the
bill.

A Bankruptcy Decision.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Only one opinion
was delivered in the United States Supreme
Court to-day. This was in the case of VIII
son Brothers VS.. Cassius B. Nelson, bank
ruptcy proceeding, which originated in the
State of Wisconsin. Wilson Brothers petit
toned that Nelson be declared bankrupt,
alleging that while insOlvent Nelson had
permitted one of his creditors TO obtain
preference through legal proceedings by the
entry of a judgment against him and the
levy of an execution Hereunder upon q
stock of goods owned by Nelson. he not
having vacated or discharged the lien be-
fore the sale Of the property under an exc
cution. The facts of this transaction We're
certified to the Supreme Court and the
court held that Nelson had permitted a
preference within the meaning of Clause 3
of Section 3A of the bankruptcy law, and
that the failure of Nelson to vacate and
discharge the preference so obtained at
least five days before the sale was act of
bankruptcy.
The United States Supreme Court to-day
took a recess until Jan. 6.
