CHIEF ADDED TAX.
IN TARIFF BILL ON
COST OF LIVING
ESTIMATED REVENUE FROM
MEASURE AS IT NOW STANDS
SHOWS INCREASE OF $4,000. 900
OVER 1906.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The
Payne teriff bill will raise $50. l66.7is
more for the support OF the American
government that the present Dingley
law did in 1906. though offered as an
answer TO the countrywide demand
for tariff revision downward. The bill
reduces the duties on 1870 paragraphs
In the law and increases the duties in
80 paragraphs. In spite OF this the
equivalent ad valorem duties assessed
by the Dingley law averaged 44.16 AMI
those OF the Payne bill 1872 per cent
In 1906 the Dingley law raised $685.
557 ,9S4 and with the same volume Of
merchandise during the first year OF
L Its enforcement the Payne bill viii
raise 05.224.732. The increase will
be made up by an additional tax on
the cost of living. The S33 100000 In
creased revenue may be properly d.
vided this way:
Estimated revenue from In
heritance tax. ......... $2O. 100000
Increased tax on cigarettes. 100000
American. breakfast table. ll,5O0,O0O
These figures are borne out by the
estimated revenue receipts under the
Payne bill as IL now stands. Cocoa.
which has been assessed and taxed
at four cents a pound having been on
the free list heretofore, will yield 49,
202, s54. This big sum Will be paid
by the girls and boys who like choco-
late cake and chocolate caramels.
The tea drinkers will contribute 81.
953 ,668 because of the s and cents
tax on each pound OF tea imported.
On top Of this women's stockings
made OF cotton will yield $1.l00.0C0
more. This increase will place the
tariff cost on stockings to the women
OF America at $4,761 ,240.
Women's gloves will produce $780,
COO more In round numbers. This
makes the tariff toll of the women
" no wear gloves $4.729,860.
The Payne bill will reduce the cost
of sugar to each OF the SIS, 100000 men,
women and children in the United
States about 5-8 cents. In 1906 there
were 3,726,339.201 pounds of sugar
imported, and the tariff charge was
$52,232.041. The Payne bill reduction
of cents on the hundred pounds Will
save the sugar eaters $500, 900 year
In round numbers.
The joker In the tariff bill. on cof-
fee may take away from the house
holder about $13.000.000 annually IL
the lowest possible estimate is made
OF the countervailing duty on coffee.

that the export charge by Brazil
rarges from rs to 3 cents per pound;

WOULD ELIMINATE
DANGERS OF FOOTBALL

Chicago.-Football is in for another
overhauling. Members of the Uni
versity Of Chicago board of physical
culture and athletes, at a special
meeting recently, branded the grid
iron game as needlessly and prohibit
lively dangerous, and started action
aiming at important changes in the
playing rules to guard against acci-
dents.
The Chicgo officials went on rec
ord as opposed to the game in its
present form and instructed Coach A.
A. Stagg to so notify the conference
representatives. Coach Stagg will
raise the question at the Big Eight
meeting soon. This move is the first
of the sort taken by a western col
lege, and is admittedly the outgrowth
of popular protest against the heavy
annual toll of deaths and injuries on
the gridiron. "The conference, of
couse. can make no changes on its
own authority" said Coach Stagg.
"The actual changing will be up to
the rules committee of the United
States intercollegiate association and
I think it is probable that that body
will act in a decisive way"
