WASHINGTON, March 17.-Rep-
resentative Serene Payne, chair
man of the ways and means COM
mittee, today presented the tariff
bill bearing his name, and contain
ing 100000 words. The bill repre-
sents the Judgment Of the commit
tee based on 5000 pages Of printed
testimony and 10000 letters. with
all known statistics on the subject.
The estimated revenue under the
duties prescribed will be 100000
900. The bill authorizes an issu-
ance of treasury certificates
amounting to $25O,O0O,000 to run
this year.
The lumber tariff is reduced so
per cent. Coal and agricultural Inn
plements are on a reciprocal basis.
The tariff on woods. first and second
class, are unchanged. Hides are ad-
mitted free and shoes reduced 40
per cent.
WASHINGTON, March IL
Payne explained the bill fully. He
said the maximum rates applied to
countries discriminating against
the United States. or not giving
rates as favorable as they give to
other nations. This section is self
acting, making 1t the duty of the
president to collect duties In &C
cordance with the terms of the bill
and leaving 1t open for courts to de-
eide upon the legality Of such ac-
ton. Payne said:
I'VE have a large deficit, but rev.
enues under the present system are
improving monthly as business con-
ditions become better. The last
normal year for imports was the fis-
cal year ending June 80. 1906. there
fore the committee took 1906 as a
basis upon which to form an esti-
mate of the revenue.producing quail
tiles OF the new bill. With return
of anything like normal conditions
during the next fiscal year, 1t is
safe to predict the deficit will be
entirely wiped out. II not, the bill
provides for an issue of Panama ca
nal bonds to reimburse the treas
ury. There is also reenatced pro
vision for the issue Of certificates
running a year for the purpose of
replenishing the treasury, raising
from hundred to two hundred fifty
millions"
An inheritance tax is included
with the following provisions: On
direct Inheritance from $4,000 to
$100, 900, l per cent tax; on direct
inheritance from 100000 to $780,
900. 2 per cent tax; on direct inner
itance over half million, 3 per cent.
Collateral relatives and strangers
receiving inheritances pay per
cent on all amounts over $500. COT
