 This increase of revenue is due to advance in rates on . few articles of luxury, such ae wine. spirits, etc. It is also due to the substitution made in the bill in all cases where 1t was possibie. specific for ad vaiorem duties. This will prevent under valuation and consequently increase revenues. This increase will be more marked in the silk schedule than elsewhere.
 There are other changes which will be included In tho bill that win effect the comparative revenues.
 The chauges which we propose to make In the administrative act tn- clude: CD New dennitions of dutiable value and new methods In it's proper ascertasnment: CD More efficient coi- lection machinery. and (3) A provision for the creation of . customs court to insure uniformity of decisions In cus- toms cases. The provisions suggested will, in the opinion of the committee, result in the collection of certain percsntare more revenue in the im- portation of the same articles than was collected under the act of 1897,
 'srhe extent of the under valuations practiced under the existing law IS variously estimated at from 10 to 2e per cent of the revenue collected.

We should not lose sfrht of the fact that there will be approximately 100000 of people more fn the United States to be provided for In 1910 than in 1907. and if other con- dftions remain the same. there will be q natural increase from this cause. The committee believe that tho extent of importaticns and resulting revenue win be greater in 1910 than In 1897. because of improved business condt- tiona. 4s
