WAR REVENUE TAX.
Ways and Means Committee Hears
Arguments for It's Reduction.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The ways and
means committee. today, temporarily laid
aside the subject of Cuban reciprocity
and entered upon the question of reducing
the war revenue taxes. During the Morn
ing the tea interests were heard on the
proposition to take off the tax of 10 cents
Il pound on tea, imposed by the Spanish
var revenue act. The afternoon was set
a side for the beer interests.
Albert +. Sloan of New York president
OF the National Tea Duty Repeal Assoc
citation. summed up the appeal for reduc-
ton as follows: THE duty is an excess
sive hardship upon the consumer. retail
or. wholesale grocer and tea importer;
the duty is injuring permanently the
quality of tea sold
LAS the tea duty is war tax. it should
be removed
LAS the country is already heavily tax
cd upon the priacipIe of protection, it
should not be doubly taxed upon an arti-
Gle which demands no protection

Aiagruder Of Washington, and others also

spoke in favor of taking off the tea duty.
The opposition to the proposed reduc-
ton was opened by w. ]. Buckfield tea
importer, of New York. If the duty was
removed, he said. the benefit would be
reaped by the foreign exporting countries
and not by the United States.
A. Burlingane Johnson, recently United
States consul at Annoy, China, said from
his experience that the duty had Operat-
ed to stop the shipment of poor tea to this
country and that the duty had fallen on
the Chinese dealer instead of on the
American dealer and consumer.
This closed the tea hearing and the
committee took recess.
At the afternoon the beer interests were
represented by officials of their organ
ization, including N. w. Kendall of New
Haven, CT. president of the United States
Brewers Association George ]. Ober-
mann. Baltimore. chairman of the COM
mittee on federal relations of that asso-

1T Is learned from an intimate of the
