TEA AND COFFEE
NAY NOT ESCAPE.
Experimental Tax of Ten Cents
a Pound to Be Put on in
the Senate.

Washington. April Numerous
conferences were held between Repub-
Hcan members of the senate today to
further consider the substitute for
maximum and minimum feature of
the Payne bill which will be submitted
to the senate from the committee on
finance. The provision has been COM
pIeted except for the list of articles on
the free list that are to be taxed spe-
officially when imported from countries
shat fail to give to the United States
the advantage Of their best rates.
Experimentally, the committee has
fixed tax of 10 cents a pound on coffee
and 10 cents q pound on tea in order to
illustrate the operation of such a pro-
vision. These taxes could not go into
effect except as applied to countries
that discriminate against the United
States. and then only upon proclama-
ton by the president. The specific
taxes are to be named solely for trad
ing purposes in campaigns to extend
the markets in all parts of the world
to American products.
1t was practically decided today that
the amendment providing for the appli-
cation of the rates noted in the bill
would not be presented to the senate
until after ali the other administrative
features have been worked out.

PRESIDENT MAY
GET THE $4,000
Congress Very Much inclined
to Be Liberal in Matter of
Travelling Expenses.

Washington. April 7.-Representa-
tive Tawney. chairman Of the house
committee on appropriations. talked
with the president today about the lat
teT's plans for an extensive tour
through the west late this summer and.
at the conclusion of the interview, said
ne would place a bill before the house
apprOpriating $4,000 for the presidents
travelling expenses during the coming
fiscal year.
. Mr.. Tawney said a false impression
had gone abroad that be was opposed
to such a measure. He said he did not
know until today definitely that Presi-
dent Taft desired to go west I'm the
summer and to take run up to Alaska
one portion Of the United States ter
ritOry upon which Mr.. Taft has not yet
set foot. No president of the United
States has ever visited Alaska. i'm fact.
and Mr.. Taft is anxious to learn at first
hand just what conditions are in that
far north territory. Mr.. Tawney said
today that he had no doubt the measure
he proposed would pass the house with
out objection. If unanimous consent
could not be secured, however. the bill
might be called up under a special rule.
Already in the senate several PROPOSE
tons to set aside $4,000 for the DTesi-
dents travelling expenses are pending.
and no trouble is expected in getting
the appropriation through that body.

Washington, April 27.-senator Bailey
today resumed his speech begun in the
senate yesterday. He discussed the ma
ture of direct taxation, and said that
question had never been satisfactorily
settled. He said il was a matter OF re-
gret that the trainers Of the COnstitu-
ton did not satisfactorily define what
direct tax was.
Mr. Bailey quoted from court opin-
ions and other authorities to sUbsJant-
ate his contention respecting the con-
stitutionality Of an income tax. He de
nounced the men who resist the income
tax as inquisitorial as calculated to
make the United States a nation Of
liars"
That this tax is inGuisitorial," caid
Mr.. Bailey, lis true. but not more so
than another tax. To compel me to telI
the source of my income as is done in
the state in which I live is as inqusi-
tOrial as TO compel me TO tell the
amount of my income. Every tax must
be inQUisitoriai.- because otherwise the
honest men would nay il and the dis
honest men would escape il.
Mere Question of Honesty.
7 don't think a self-respecting Amer
lean citizen will lie TO escape paying a
tax. and if I should find man VINO
would commit perjury TO escape TAX
alton I would favor disfTanchising him.
It may be that rich men will tell lie
to avoid paying an income tax, but
viii not say so. although some OF them
say it Of themselves"
The rich man, Mr.. Bailey said should
be willing To pay for the protection of
his property over which armies and
UaVies stand in solemn guard For
himself, If he were counsel for the rich,
he said, he would advise them not only
to support, but TO advocate an income
tax law.
And If they would do that" said Mr.
Bailey, they would do more to silence
anarchy than all the benefacti5ns and
charities they can do. It seems 20 me
there are rich men who are willing TO
give benefactions i'm order 10 have them
published, who are not willing 10 pay
their fair portion Of the expenses OF
the government"
As Mr.. Bailey concluded. he was con-
graduated by large number OF Dem
Ocratic and Republican senators.
