man Payne presented the tariff bill tC
/, day. II Is the product of five months
OF labor of the house ways and means
committee and a year OF Payne's
work. The rates were constantly
shifted by the committee during Its
deliberations.
The bill contains 100000 words
and is twice the size OF the Dingley
law. The estimated revenue the bill
will bring In is 100000, 900, an in
crease OF $40. 1000, 900 over the Ding
ley law. The Inheritance tax Is in
cluded. providing for three per cent

statement accompanying the bill,
said the problem confronting the com
mlttee was the question OF revenue.
Business OF all commercial nations
has been depressed nearly two years.
This greatly reduced the revenues.
Business Is now improving and rev.
enues increasing under the present
law.
The year 1906, which the commit
tee calls the last normal year, was
taken as a basis to figure estimates
on revenue producing qualities OF the
new measure. II the next year is
prosperous and normal conditions re-
turn on account OF the increased
population OF the country, the conf
mittee expects the estimates OF gev-
enue to be too small. and thinks the
deficit will be entirely wiped out. In
case Il does not occur the bill pro-
vides for an issue of Panama canal
bonds to reimburse the treasury for
the $4,000. 900 paid IN the original
purchase of the canal This prob
ably will cover any deficit. The sec
ton added to the bill applies the
same rules as to patents obtained
here by foreigners. as adopted by the
countries OF which the aliens and cit
liens in respect to patents issued to-
Americans. In many cases this will
compel foreigners to build factories
here or forfeit the RICH. OF patents.

mum rates. the second section the

Is twenty per cent higher than the

section of the bill applies to minimum
rates to all countries, giving the
United States as good tariff terms as
are given any other nation. II APP
