DUTY ON SHOES IS REDUCED
etOel Rails, Tools and Similar Pro

Four Cents a Pound on
Coffee is Levied.

Washington, Mar. 9.-Having been
practically completed by the tarin
trainers, portions of the new tariff bill
pFinter. Although no announcement
has been made by the house commit
tee on ways and means regarding any
OF the schedules of the tentative bill
e has been learned on unquestionable
authority that, as concession to the
shoemen because of the placing OF
hides on the free list, the duty on
shoes will be considerably reduced
While no figures were obtainable re.
gardiAg the steel schedule, It was
stated, on the same authority, that q
substantial red1ction in the duty on
steel rails. tools and similar products
is provided for. A duty Of four cents
a. pound on coffee is levied. This Is
by way Of compromise with the Porto
Ricans. who demanded tax Of si1
cents a pound.
q Whisky and Beer Unmolested.
whisky and beer will remain as
they are at present, If the sub-com.
nlttee recommendations are enacted
into law. Il was felt that whisky was
already carrying all the tax 1t could
stand, while in the case of beer the
prohibition movement throughout the
country, It was explained, cut down
the consumption Of beer and II was
felt that II would be a hardship to
impose any further tax.
War Revenues Act.
II having become manifest to the
committee that the duties derived
from customs under the new bill
would not produce the revenue ex.
pected they turned to the expedient Of
reviving the war revenue act Of 1898
which placed a tax on telegrams
bank cheeks, playing cards and all
stocks bought or sold. That feature
OF the war revenue act is incorpor
ated in the measure as drafted, 1t is
said.
Inheritance Tax.
A matter which is perplexing the
committee is that OF placing q tax on
inheritances That President Taft
wants II is declared and is pressing
the committee to take action along
that line and present indications are,
II Is said, the committee will yield to
the presidents wishes.
