the PAYNE Tariff BILL

After one Of the bitterest and one
of the most momentous legislative du-
els in the history of the national cap
'1tal the new tariff measure, the Payne
bill, has been completed.
The progress Of the bill through the
Legislative r2ul Of both houses was
eventful enough to satisfy the most
pronounced cravers for parliamentary
warfare. The real battle opened when
the bill (honse report 143S) was re-
ceived In tie senate and referred to
the committee on finance, April TO-

the senate as chairman Of the finance
committee, subsequently became chair.

Johnnie's Fear.

Little Johnnie, aged six. had been
to church and had displayed more
than usual interest in the sermon, in
which the origin Of i've had been
dwelt on at some length. On his re.
turn from the services, there being
company to dinner, he had displayed
a good deal Of interest in the eatables,
especially the mince pie and cakes.
Some time afterward, being missed,
he was found sitting quietly in cor
ner with his hands pressed tightly
over his ribs and an expression of aw.
full anxiety on his face. 'sWhy, what
on earth is the matter?" asked his
mother in alarm.

Why Girl Should Choose Her
Least Worthy euitor. s

"Of course it's an old saying that
you never can tell about a woman
said the surgeon reminiscently Il re-
member once when was a hospital
inferno we had as q patient young
lady who had been badly burned as q
result Of her clothes catching on fire.
Her burns persistently refused to
heal, so we decided there was only
one way to save her and that was by
a skin grating operation. We COM
municated with her friends and rela-
tives and asked for volunteers who
were willing to sacrifice their cuticle
in the interest of the young lady's
good looks and possibly her life.
'The first volunteers were two
young men who said they knew the
patient and wished to give up some
cuticle for her benefit. We learned
that the two were hot rivals for the
young lady's favor and neither was
willing to let the other get ahead. We
agreed to use skin impartially from
each, but at the very first flash of q
knife one of the candidates weakened
and said he didn't think he would be
able to stand it. In fact, he announced
that he had changed his mind and
wasn't going to part with any Of his
valuable outer covering. Arguments
were of no avail. so we were forced to
take all the skin we needed from the
second sutton, who stood it without
finch. The young lady recovered
completely, with her looks almost un.
impaired"
"And of course rewarded the hero
who had so nobly offered up his GU
ticle for her sake by bestowing herself
upon him. suggested one of his list
eners.
ION the contrary" said the surgeon.
"she afterward married the other
man. That's what called forth the re-
mark with which began this yarn"
There was moments silence, while
the group wagged it's heads.
II don't see anything strange about
that" spoke up the sardonic member
of the party. perhaps that was the
only way she had Of getting even with
him" And it being agreed that this
suggestion explained everything, the
waiter was requested to fill EN- up
again.

administrative FEATURES.
The bill marks a distinct departure
n that it provides for corporation
tax and court Of customs. The cor
.:oration tax. while yielding large
amount Of revenue. is primarily de-
signed for the purpose of government
tai regulation of corporations, and it
will have this effect.
The fact that the amount Of the tax
to be assessed was lowered from per
cent to per cent is considered by the
members Of congress to evidence clear
IL that the bill has regulation for its
object and not merely revenue.
The customs court of appeals will
further centralize the national govern
ment. and it will place the intricate

ton Of the law and the facts respect.

this court the country has been divid-
ed into nine customs judicial districts.

Retaliation Measures.
Governmental measures of retalia-
ton against countries which do not
make tariff concessions to the United
States are amply provided for. Maxi

the products Of these countries than
would ordinarily have been the case.
The creation of a commission to look
;:to the question Of the tariff from
nonnarti:an viewpoint is an innova-
ton that has been suggested for many
years. 1t is generally looked on as a

CRUELTY OF WIFE

A reversal of the usual order is
found in the libel for divorce of Hi
koki Nishioka against his wife Kita
Nishioka. To have a woman, a newly
welded bride at that, charged with
brutal abuse of her husband is out or
the normal in divorce archives.
Hikoki alleges that within a week
after marriage his wife began sys-
TEN of brutal treatment, throwing
plates at him, calling him vile names
and, on one occasion, beating him
with a chair. Then, about two weeks
after the nuptiais, she left him and
went to Maui.
Ellen Manuia was Saturday granted
divorce from William Paahao, he
to pay her $40 a month permanent
alimony. That he should do so is
shown in the libel which says he is
fireman at the Kaimuh pumping
station earning $50 month and owns
house and lot worth $1,000 at Ka-
pahulu For a cause it was set forth
that William took a woman calico
Theresa or Maalo to his home, insti-
tutiu6 open and notorious relations
of climnality with him, which some
time ago constrained his lawful wife
