The Tariff Bill.


Interest in the tariff hill is now CEN
tired on it's progress in conference.
1t is probable that two or three weeks
at least will be consumed in this
work, and it does not seem likely now
that Congress will adjourn before
August 1. AS the amended bill
passed by the Senate is likely to be
changed materially, it is useless to
comment upon the various schedules
until the conference bill is reported
and passed by both Houses and sent
to the President. As finally passed
by the Senate, the rates seem TO be
about midway between those passed
by the House and the present Ding
ley law, and the completed bill
adopted in conference will certainly
show a considerable reduction over
the rates of the Law now in operation.
While these reductions win not
meet the wishes Of the so-called pro-
gressives and revisionists throughout
the country, yet they will be substan-

Sanford, want high specific duties re-

keep out japanese competition. The
Senate voted the higher rates on these
grades.
The old fight over the duty on paper, in
which the paper mills OF Maine are tre-
mendously interested, is raging in con-
ference, where is is to be determined
whether paper shall pay duty Of s2 .
ton, which the House favors, or r. a ton,
which the Senate favors, or duty at some
intermediate figure. Some OF the big
metropolitan papers want the lower duty,
and are bringing all the influence at their
command to obtain it. Then there are
several shoe factories in Maine with an in
terest in the rates finally fxed Oh boots
and shoes and sole leather and hides. The
proprietors OF saw mills and the logging
companies and their employees will be
glad to know what the conference decides
about duties on rough and dressed lumber,

tial enough to meet the expectation
of all fair minded people. While it is
true that the republican platform did
not call for a revision downward, yet
it is tact that the President in his
speeches before election and other
republican leaders made such prom
ises, and those pledges will be kept.
The joint resolution providing for
the submission to the states Of an in
come tax constitutional amendment,
which was agreed to by a unanimous
vote in the Senate, has been adopted
by the House, although there is con-
siderable doubt If three -fourths OF the
states-tbe number necessary for its
adoption-will concur in this amend
ment.
The maximum and minimum fea-
lures of the tariff bill will probably re-
maiu as amended in the Senate, and
the administrative features of the new
bill will be stronger than in any pre-
vious tariff law.
As regards customs court-in spite
of the great opposition made, it
seems likely that such tribunal will
be provided for. The power given to
the President to appoint experts to
enable him properly to carry out the
maximum and minimum features will
probably do away with any further
thought of tariff commission, an
amendment to this effect having been
voted down in the Senate.
There is so much variance of opin-
ion as to what the new bill will pro-
duce in revenue, that it is impossible
to predict with any accuracy the re-
suit until the completed schedules are
known. Even then the revenue will
depend not so much upon the rates as
upon the condition of business. 1t is
believed, however, that the new tariff
will produce sufficient revenue to
meet expenditures.

The Treasury Deficit and Business

The Treasury Deficit and Business.
The deficit for the year just closed
was under ninety millions OF dollars,
in spite of the predictions some
months ago that it would reach from
one hundred and twenty to one hun
dred and forty millions.
But these eighty niue millions do
not represent the true deficit because
some thirty millions of this is for
canal expenditures, for which bonds
have been authorized, leaving the
true deficit at only about sixty mill
lions-a most satisfactory result con-
sidering the business conditions of the
past fiscal year.
The industrial depression not only OF
this country, but also of foreign coun-
tries has been also reflected in the fig
ures relating to our foreign commerce
for the year. Our exports have fallen
of some two hundred millions, while
our imports will exceed those of last
year by about one hundred millions,
making our balance OF trade the small.
lest for many years.
This shows, however, that while
business conditions in this country
have been far below normal, yet in
our increased purchases we have been
much better of than other countries.
1t is evident that the So called panic
of 1907 has almost wholly spent itself.
and that as so on as the tariff law has
been signed by the President, there
will be resumption Of business,
which, it is expected. will equal or ex-
coed that preceding the depression of
two years ago.
The predictions made in the early
part of the present session by the
democrats who thought that the re-
publican party was going TO be SO
rent as to lose the election next year
and in 1912, have ceased entirely, and
the democratic leaders are most solici.
tous as to what sort OF showing they
can make by their party, which is more
| divided than at any time In It's history
1t is now confidently believed that
the republican majority in the next
House will be considerably larger thar
in the present, and also that Mr.. Taft
will be elected to succeed himself by
larger popular and electoral vote
than he received in 1908.

Automobiles In Maine

The State OF Maine has received pretty
penny from the registration OF automo-
biles, as aimee the passage Of the automo-
bile law by the legislature of 1905, the sum
of sls,sii has been turned into the States
exchequer from the registration fees OF
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, operators, owners OF
motor cycles and the dealers in automo-
biles.
Four thousand two hundred and
eighteen automobiles have been registered
since the law was passed, and OF this
number, $50 were registered from the first
OF January OF this year. During last June
344 machines were registered, which is
the largest humber OF any one month ex-
cept in the June following the passage OF
the law, when there was a number wait
ing to be registered. The registry fee is 81
for each machine.
Since the law went into effect, ASA oper-
ators' licenses have been issued, and Of
this number / ,054 have been issued since
the first of this year and 3s2 were granted
during the month Of June last. The reg
istry fee for the operators license is also

-Four Kindred and twenty-five motor
cycles have been registered since the Law
was passed at the session of the Iegisla-
ture OF 1905, licenses having been granted
to eighty-six owners OF motor cycles since
the first OF the year, and forty-two were
registered during the month of June last
The registry fee in this case also is y per
aEnum.
There have been los licenses given to
dealers in automobiles, for which they are
obliged to pay an annual fee of 80, and
there have been twepty-seven registered
since the first OF the year.

Most OF the state delegations in Senate
and House are hanging earnestly over the
work of the tariff conferees this week.
That is because most Of the states have
favorite items on the bill, which the
Senate enrcted few days ago, and these
favorite items are hanging between the
contentious of five Senate republicans and
six House republicans. Maine, however
rs in pretty good shape in that regard.
The paper mills and the cotton mills in
Maine are very much concerned bout the
DUTY on bleaching powder, and want it
kept at one fifth of a cent pound. as the
House voted, rather than at one-baIf .
cent pound as the Senate voted at the in
stance Of Senator Burrows, OF Michigan.
IN which state considerable bleaching
powder is made. The lime burners down
Rockland way would like to have the dutv
on their product kept at ten cents . 100
pounds, as the Senate voted, instead Of FIVE
cents 100, as the House voted.

way or another in the making OF potato

The Maine delegation in the House has
been back here in force for the ceremony
OF putting the tariff bill into conference.
1t was very brief performance to bring
men over . course Of 600 or 700 miles to be
in Washington when the speakers gavel
fell, but all the same it was important.
The Senate had completed the bill, and
republican insurgents in the House were
ready to make coalition with the demo-
Gratis to consider the Ss7 Senate amend
ments in some other way than the House
organization thought it should be done.
Many Of the legislators have sent their
families home and are keeping bachelors
hall in Washington. This does not hold
true Of all the New England men, how
ever. Representative Burleigh, who is
now living at the Raleigh, is accompanied
b. Mrs. Burleigh. She always takes a
lively interest in her husbands legislative
work, knows the old third district almost
as well as he does, which is saying good
deal, and prefers to stay with him in
Washington in spite OF the summer
climate which drives many ladies of the
congressional circle to their homes or to
the resorts in the mountains and at the
seaside. She is now in better health,
much to the qualification of her friends.

"uncle Amos Allen. who has been up
at his home in the first district for several
weeks, cultivating his garden and watch
ing the crops, was among the first OF the
Maine arrivals. He took readily to- the
swinging chair well in the centre OF the
House, where mis- desk is, and found it no
difficult task to pass from agriculture to
legislation at one fell swoop. Representa-
tives Burleigh, Swasey and Guernsey were
also on the job, and all helped vote the
tariff bill into conference. But after that
three-hour session the Maine men, as well
as large coterIe Of other representatives,
found time hanging as heavily on their
hands as ever.
Washington is not the busiest city In
the world in mid-July. The departments
are not doing very much, for half the en-
ployes are away on vacation. And accord
ingly, it Is little use 10 attempt to do
many errands with depart mental officials,
snd most OF the representatives are sitting
around twirling their thumbs and ws,ss
ing for the conference to finish its delib-
erations.
All the New England congressman are
IN the same plight They do not care to
return home, because the conference on
the tarin might conclude inside OF a week
ana the moment the conference concludes
business will be rushing in the Senate and
House, and every man will be expected TO
be in his seat. The waiting may be a
matter OF few days or it may be q matter
OF two or three weeks, and on that one
mans guess is as good as another's.

senator Hate's Great influence IN
Conference-Maine' Interest In
the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July IL (special) =
The only real working man just at present
among the Pine Tree staters in Congress
is Senator Hale, OF Ellsworth. The con-
ference on the tariff is progressing fore
noon, afternoon and evening, and as one
OF the FIVE republican conferees, who has
important local interests to look after for
his constituents, not to mention the
general interests, political and national
entrusted to him in part, he has his hands
full.
Because OF trouble with his throat, the
in June to take little rest tripto Maine.
He returned here few days ago much re-
freshed. His throat trouble had practi-
cally disappeared, and the senator is in
good shape for the ordeal OF the confer
ence. These conferences over tariff bills
are very tedious. They involve constant
contests. As matter of principle, the
the Senate passed, and the House con-
ferees fight for the items which the House
passed.
The conferees are naturally put under
| something OF a strain. They are well
aware that almost 500 Legislators are rest
less, anxious to pass the tariff bill and get
home, but at the same time the work must
be performed satisfactorily in conference,
or there might be danger of the rejection
OF the conference agreement in one house
or the other, which would mean a bad
tangle, party decentralization, and persis-
tent delay.
Senator Hale is an old hand in confer
ences. Almost ever since he has come to
Congress he has been member of appro-
pration committees, and those commit
tees handle the largest conference reports.
During the last ten or fifteen years Sena-
| tor Hale has been a member OF half u
dozen conferences annually on big appro-
priation bills. He has had more expert
ence in that line than any other member
of the Senate, and, in some ways, his SER
vices will be very valuable to Congress
and to the party in the tariff conferences
now well under way. He is past master
in handling such large legislative under
takings methodicslly, in suggesting prac-
teal compromises and, withal, is hard
fghter-ail important qualifications for q
congressional conferee.

HIS BIRTHDAY REMEMBERED
Veterans Of the German Army Present Their
President With Birthday Remembrance.

Many of our German citizens, who
have served in the army of the Kaiser
in the Fatherland. have for years
maintained at Denison an organiza-
tion known as The Landverein. Their
president or commander for many
years has been Prof. j. F. Harthun.
editor of the Denison Zeitung. 1t APP
pears that the birthday of Prof. Har-
thun is on St. Valentine Day and this
coming to the knowledge of the mem
bers, thew decided to give him a re-
membrance of the date this year in the
shape of a handsome watch guard.
The locket was engraved showing who
made the gift and the name Of the
owner. Mr.. John Hoist, ST., made
the little speech of presentation and
did it we'll. Prof. Harthun VAS much
pleased and expressed his thanks in
his we'll known expressive German.
He is natural leader, resourceful.
magnetic, talented and deserving of
the recognition given him on his
birthday.
