Regards the Plan as a Last
Resort Measure.
TARIFF FIGURES OFFERED

AIdrIch Says List Must Hase Been
Prepared by a Wonderful Man When
culberson Presents Statistics Show
ina That In 3f6 Instances the Re
vision OF the Schedules Has Had an
Upward Trend.
The possibilities OF the passage OF the
tariff bill and the adjournment Of the
special session OF congress before June
is to July /. seem to have vanished.
This conclusion has been reached by
the president as result OF recent
talks with senators and representa-
tives.
The president is still hopeful that
the revenue TO be derived from the
new bill and with economics In the adj
ministration of the government viii
prove sufficient TO prevent a deficit.
Income Tax Last Resort.
III further revenue is required the
president will adhere TO his original
proposition that a graduated federal
inheritance tax is the most just that
could be levied and would prove the
easiest TO collect. II such tax should
not prove sufficient 10 meet the neces.
stiles of the government, or " II should
not appeal to the majority OF congress,
the president favors as a substitute or
as an additional means of collecting
revenue the imposition OF an excise
tax on the dividends OF corporations.
An income tax, he believes, should be
levied only as a last resort.
Statements were made TO the senate
by Senator Aldrlch. representing the
finance committee. and Senator Cul.
berson, the minority leader, analyzing
the tariff bill as IL was reported TO the
senate and comparing Il. so far as In.
creases and reductions are concerned.
with the Dlngley law.
Figures ExpertIy TabuIsted.
Culberson figured the decreases to
be $3.50. the increases $40 and the mum.
Der OF articles on which the duties are
unchanged to be 1921. Aldrlch made
the reductions 379 but furnished no
figures as TO the number Of increases
made
He expressed surprise at the number
OF increases announced by Culberson
and declared that the statement must
have been prepared "by very Won
derful man" Culberson retorted that
they were prepared by an expert from
the treasury department. who is thor
ouRhly competent.
The principal schedules on which
there have been increases. according
to Aldrich. are agricultural products
and the various Injuries.
