BREAKS WITH THE LEADERS
iowan shows senate How oehsduiss
Have eesn Juoslsd with Until
They Are Almost
Worthless.

Washington, D. c., April 23.-Sena.
tor Dolliver has taken . hand In the
tarif debate and made q remarkable
speech, In which he served notice on
Senator Aldrich and senate republi-
can leaders consideration OF those
schedules Of the Aldrich bill In which
there have been increases.
Senator Dolliver practically made a
declaration of war on some features
of the Aldrich bill and made II clear
he would insist to the utmost on their
modification. Great significance is at
tached to what Senator Dolliver said.
Hitherto Senator Dolliver has seldom
shown disposition to break with the
leaders, and for the first time since
the rate bill came up, he aligned him
self with those western republicans
who are insisting on genuine revision
His course came as disagreeable
surprise to Aldrich and the leaders.
They refused to put Senator Dolliver
on the finance committee and 1t looks
as IL they would have cause to regret
it. By so doing they have left him
free to pursue independent course
with respect to the bill.
Always an entertaining speaker,
Senator Delivers speech was listened
to with close attention by the sena-
tors. Senator Aldrich and he clash
ed and Aldrich come of worsted, SEN
ator Dolliver from his experience
twelve years ago on the ways and
means committee has q deep know
ledge OF tariff schedules. Moreover
he has been studying for weeks with
the aid of experts and has collected
mass of information on tariff mat
tiers. For one thing he attacked the
cotton schedule, which he showed had
been SO redrawn that it was impos-
sible to tell what 1t meant and in one
case had been juggled 30 as to make
the duty six times as great as 1t was.
President Taft has lined up with
Senator Aldrich to the extent OF OPP
posing an income tax at this session
Of congress.
Senator Cummins has been Ques-
toned sharply by various senators.
That there will be bitter fight over
the income tax is certain.
Mr.. Cummins, referring to newspa-
per criticism. said he had been rep
resented as making. an insidious at.
tack upon the principle Of protection
by the raising OF revenue from an in.
come tax.
Mr.. Cummins commended that the
Payne bill would not insure sutiicient
revenue. but Mr.. Aldrich took issue
with him, saying THE revenue fea-
lures are more liberal than his.
He declares that graduated IN.
come tax on corporations would re-
suit In great corporations paying the
highest rate. although their stock
might be largely held by men OF
small means. Thus. the result might
be to place the highest tax on men
OF small incomes. a
''Such a, result" said Mr.. Cummins,
would not only be unjust. but It
would destroy the principle that I'M
derlies the income duty"
