BOTH WnULDREDUCE
BUT MiNORI1 Us TAX STILL
TOI t.Et
DlNCLEY BILL DENOUNCED
Called Mother OF Trusts-Mr. Bah
cocks Measure Largely Reducing
Duties on Steel Schedule and
Placing Some Articles on the Free
List Defeated in Committee.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Both majority
and minority reports were filed on the
war revenue repeal bill yesterday.
The majority report says the probab
.ty Of an early withdrawal of troops
from Cuba and the reduction of the
force in the Philippines will make fur
Their reductions possible. 1t also re-
views the condition of the treasury,
1T cannot be denied a large surplus
furnishes temptation for extravagant
expenditure it says. while con-
gress may generally be relied upon to
keep national expenses within reason
able bounds. it should be relieved from
the pressure which comes with plaus-
IDLE schemes from every quarter, to
raid an overlooking treasury"
The minority report approves the
proposed reductions, ut asserts they
should have been made long ago. 1t
also advocates a general revision of
tariff taxation with the retention of
taxes on accumulated wealth. There
is general denunciation of the Dingley
law as the mother Of trusts and the
report says it enables manufacturers
to charge far greater prices to home
for the same goods, which is charac-
terized as plain robbery" While
approving in general the policy of re-
pealing war taxes" says the minority
report, I'VE insist certain taxes on &C
cumulated wealth should be allowed
to remain. We refer to such taxes
as are imposed on sugar and petro-
leum refiners. A tax of one-fourth of
one per cent. on the annual gross re
ceipts of sugar and petroleum refiners
in excess of $250,000 yields about
$1,000,000 annually. This tax has
been paid without demur or protest
and there is no reason why the great
combinations which monOpolize these
businesses and from which colossal
individual fortunes have been built up
should not pay some part of the ma
tlOnal expenses as we'll as the masses
of people who use and consume the
various things which are subject to
customs and internal revenue taxation
AS the supreme court has denied con-
gress the right to tax incomes for the
support of the government, it is well
to place accumulated wealth under
some form of contribution, and we
know Of none more just or equitable
than to tax such as that imposed by
the war revenue act on oil and sugar
refners.''
Mr. Babcock (rep., Wis., offered his
bill largely reducing the duties on the
steel schedule and placing some ar
ticles on the free list, as an an, ID
ment to the tea repeal section. The
amendment was defeated, six to seven.
Mr.. Babcock and Tawney, and all the
democrats voting in the affirmative.
