report has it that Judge Elliott may

probabilities are, however. if there is
anything at all to this part of the story,
that the employment will come from
the judges publishers, who are anx-

CONFERENCE IS PLANNED
Standpatters Form for Stonewall De-
Tense. =,
New York Sun Special Service.

NOW 4oEh DUN special SerV1ce'
Washington, Dec. 1.-Republican lead
ers OF the present congress will take up
the subject of tariff revision informally
called soon after the holidays. Sena-
tors and representatives Will attend
jointly and an effort will be made to Sc
cure concrete expression Of paEty opin-
ion concerning the ACCESSIBILITY of
amending the schedules of the Dingley
act at an extraordinary session of the
ffty-ninth congress.
The presumption at present is that
such a conference will enunciate dec
laration hostile to revision. This pre-
sumption is based on the belief that
an overwhelming majority of the re-
publican members Of congress are
thick.and- thin. standpatters Nearly
all OF them, in the recent campaign,
com1ahted themselves irrevocably to
the policy Of "let we'll enough alone.'
the tariff, but assumed that the Ding.
ley schedules are responsible for the
unprecedented prosperity which the
country is enjoying and that to monkey
with them would merely be one way of
inviting industrial and commercial dis
aster.
The authors of the conference idea
believe that the standpatter will as
sert his convictions when he finds that
he can depend upon the support Of his
fellow, legislators. The purpose of the
conference, as it is explained, will be to
furnish an unequivocal answer to the
president g suggestion that the repub-
lican leaders of congress ought to get
together and determine whether tariff
revision is an economic necessity. ~

REVENUE INCOME
NEEDS ,FATTENING
Changes Proposed in Taxation Of
Products, Notably Of
Oleomargarine.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington. Dec. 1.-The ways and
means committee Of the house will
probably, at the coming session of
congress, be asked to suggest changes
IN the revenue laws that will fatten the
government purse. The expenditures
are now perilously near to exceeding the
receipts and if there should be a sub
sidence of good times, treasury deficit
OF considerable proportions would en-
sue.
Revenues are also involved in the
question of tariff revision. If the
duties are lowered on certain goods, 1T
is question whether the result would
be to increase or decrease the treasury
receipts. The ways and means commit
tee will probably recommend me
amendment of the revenue laws IN Ger
tain particulars SO as to increase the
revenues. r.. c':.<.@s ~ 800
Grape Brandy Tax.
Commissioner Yerkes Of the internal
revenue bureau has felt for some time
that the government was conferr1ng an
unusual favor on the producers OF
native wines in allowing them to with,
draw grape brandy free from bonded
warehouses to be used for the purpose
Of fortifying their wines. This prlvl-
lege was granted in 1890 to encourage
the native wine industry, but last year
there were used s,473,446 taxable gal;
Ions Of this brandy, and if it had PAD
government income would have been
$3,S20,79O.6O. The commissioner rec,
ommends that legislation be enacted
for the imposition of tax upon this
grape brandy.
Another article which. the commits
sioner recommends for taxation is woo.o
alcohol, particularly as this article Il
being used as whisky: 1t has also come
into active competition with ethyl, al
cohol, a heavily taxed article, and i:
used in the manufactures and arts II
the preparation Of perfumes and cos
metics and of various kinds OF com
pounded alcoholic beverages.
Lower Oleo Tax. 49,
Another subject that will be present
ed, with the idea Of both increasing rev
of food product, will be the lowerln1s
of the tax on oleomargarine. Commits
sioner Yerkes makes no recommends
tion, but submits data showing the de
crease Of the revenue under the presen
tax Of 10 cents a. pound. In the hsca
inal law, the total tax paid was ,$2,462,
63496. In the past fiscal year, the tota
tax collected was $279 ,99l.20, showing
the 10 cents a pound tax to be almos
prohibitive. .,l:,>
An attempt will be made to reduc
the tax, but at the same time to adj
safeguards to the manufacture Of oleo
margarine that will effectually pre-
!! vent it's being sold for butter. 49,. -.
These are some Of the question
which the ways and means committe
: will consider in connection with it
endeavor to increase federal receipts
How the buttermakers of the coun
try will look upon the proposal to tax
