the coming spring and this feeling may be
attributed to a great many reasons. Of
course the main reason for this coming
activity in land Investments is due to the
universal feeling that there is no safer

on account of the activity of the so-called

From The Journal Bureau. Room 45, Poet
Building, Washington.
Washington, Feb. lip. G. Richardson
of Minneapolis, is spending few weeks
in Washington. Mr.. Richardson is a
quiet citizen. He has no ak to grind
here, and ordinarily he might go without
attracting any attention, but 1t so hap
pens that this same P. G. Richardson
was one Of the organizers Of the first In
dustrial trust ever established in this
country.
1t was away back in the sixties. Mr.
Richardson and several brothers were
cheese makers. At that time western
New York had scores of cooperative
cheese factories, which had been estab-
lshed by farmers for their own benefit.
But in nearly every instance their fac
tories were unsuccessful. The Richard
son boys saw an opportunity to make
them successful not only for the farmers
but for themselves as we'll. They Sc
cured financial backing and bought up
twenty-five or thirty of these factories
at about 25 or 80 cents on the dollar of
what they cost. They organized the
''Cloverfield" combination. They did not
call it trust, but it was trust, just
the same, and they started to buy up the
cheese making facories OF the western
counties of New York state. They were
brainy men and they succeeded, and with
in five years their product had made such

"Cloverfield'' on cheese box insured the
sale of the contents Of that box in the
English markets at a higher price than
any other American cheese fetched.
P C. Richardson sold out early in the
eighties and went to Minneapolis. his
brother remained in western New YORK
and is still member of the cheese trust.
But the queer thing about it is that that
brother has twice run for congress on the
antitrust platform, and 1t is understood
that he Will attempt to do SO again his
fall. He has not yet been elected

regarding the chances which Representa-
tive Hull will have of succeed himself in
the house:
Captain Hull is opposed, as you probably
know, for denomination this spring. 1 be-
lieve, however, he will win without ques
ton. I do not see how he can be defeated
at this time. You see, we've got an army
post proposition hanging fire in Des Moines,
and we need Hull to help us finally cinch 1t.
We also want a new federal building and
we need him to help get that Judge S.
F. Prouty, who is the candidate against Hull,
is a fine fellow, but if elected just at this
time, he wouldn't be able to do much for the
city. / think those two condtions-the army
post and the new federal building-wil pull.

other conditions in his favor. Hull is an
influential man and we want to keep him

DoIIiver and Van Horn.
The 'Capitol Chat" man of the Wash
ington Post tells the following story:
When Senator Dolltver was a young man
he was school teacher. In the county which
adjoined him on the north lived a boy named
Charlie Hays, while Will Van Horn taught
school in county on the west. Hays gave
up school teaching to enter a little ticket
office of the Wabash railroad, and by paying
himself with the details Of the road he at.
tracted the attention of the general manager
and was transferred to Chicago In course
of time he became president of the road, and
then was offered and accepted the position
OF president of the Southern Pacific at a sal
airy Of s55, 900 a year. Young Van Horn en-
tered the service of the Milwaukee road as a.
te!egrapher, but by his industry and ability
ascended the ladder of promotion until he
also occupied high position. Finally, he
was selected to build the Canadian Pacific
railroad, and for his eminent and successful
services was finally knighted by Queen Vic
torla and Is now known as Sir William Van
Horn. In the meantime Senator Dolliver
studied law and entered politics, until today
he is one Of the two senators from the stare
! of Iowa.
Mclaughlin and His Treaties.
Major James Mclaughlin, who spent a

MAY CUT ON BEER AND EA.

1t is now a practical certainty that be.
some action will be taken in the direction
of reducing the extraordinary taxation
imposed upon the country by reason of
the late war.
| There has been movement on foot
since the beginning of the session to eff
feet some sort of arrangement whereby
the war taxes might be reduced material
| ly, but no definite steps were taken until
Monday, when the Republican members of
the Ways and Means Committee of the
House held meeting to consider the sub
ject They were in session for two hours,
at the end of which it was announced that
hearings would be granted on January q
to those interested in a reduction of the
internal revenue tax on beer and the duty
upon tea.
Behind this simple announcement, how
ever, there is every indication that the
| proposed hearings will be mere formal
| tiles and that the committee has virtually
agreed to repeal the present tax of 10 cts.
| a pound on tea and reduce the present
| tax of 81 90 barrel on beer to the rate
| of 81 per barrel, the latter being the tax
| imposed prior to the enactment of the
War Revenue act.
1t is not improbable that the committee
may also agree u .ooa reduction in or re-
zeal of the documentary taxes which was
recently recommended by the Secretary
of the Treasury. From reliable authority,
however, it is asserted that there is no in
tention whatever of reducing or repeating
the present war tax upon legacies, stocks
| or tobacco
| The committee has just been Informed
| by the Secretary of tie TIE Try that the
| repeal OF the duty upon tea and leduc-
| ton of the internal revenue tax on beer
can be done without jeopardizing the ma
| tional Treasury. The repeal of the duty
| upon tea as fixed by the war bill will
mean a reduction in the revenues of about
| $4,000, 600 year, while a reduction of
the war tax of 60 cents barrel on beer
will mean a loss to the Government of
about So 100000 year, making total of
$50, 600, GOO year HOW coming into the
Treasury which will be Abandoned
| In his statement to the committee Sec
rotary Gage says tl,al he estimates that the
total of receipts for the fiscal year to end
six months hence will be in the agyre gate
SjSS, 900, COO while the expenditures will
approximate $4SS 600 900. THIS means
that at the end of the year the receipts
will exceed the expenses by about $780,
OOO, 900. In view of this fact, the Secrc-
tary says, Congress may well afford to
| make a reduction in the taxation now
| standing, as the balance Of Sl00,0 coo
will mean that the present cash balance of
about $115 900, 600 will remain intact at
the close of the twelvemonth. The reduc
ton through the loss of beer and tea re-
ceipts, therefore, will not amount to a
great deal when compared with the totals.
| The recommendation of Secretary Gage
! that documentary tax be repealed will
bring the entire figure up to about $62,
000,0 if agreed upon by the committee,
so that even with that provision added
there would still be handsome surplus
left in the Treasury.
