FAVOR TARIFF
FOR REVENUE
Democrats are Opposed
to Principle Of New
Tariff Bill

Washington. b. c.. Marcn 22.-The
Oklahoma Democrats IN Congress are
not at all IN sympathy with the propo.
sition Of tariff for revenue and Incl
dental protection. They are for tariff
for revenue. The events OF the last
few days have developed a tendency
among certain Democratic members Of
the house to favor protection on Ger.
tain interests In their districts. but the
Oklahomans are standing pat on the
party policy Of a revision OF the tariff
downward no matter II It does hurt
IN some districts Representative Car
ter is especially emphatic In his views
on this subject He considers It the
Democratic policy and will adhere to
II regardless of the fact that he is
receiving scores Of letters to enlist his
efforts TO protect certain Industries.
In marked contrast is the action Of
the Republican members from okla
homa. Though they were elected on a
platform which demanded a revision
OF the tariff downward, the first time
a cry was raised for protection on a
certain industry they Immediately
commenced to get busy 10 try to pro
tect It. This was the oil business.
They forgot their party platform and
the people they represent. the great
mass Of people who are not IN the oil
business. and commenced 10 work for
the old Republican policy OF protec.
tion Tor favored industry
Another policy for which the Repub-
licans viii have to take the RESPONSE
bility Is their action in the reorganl.
zation Of this congress. Elected BY
the people who understood that they
were voting for men who wanted the
Cannon gag rule abolished. they came
right up TO the trough and took their
medicine when The party whip cracked.
They voted for Cannon and for every
measure which gave him greater pow.
er to dictate what congress shall and
shall not do. This might be. excusable
on the part of new members who have
their first lesson TO learn. but no such
excuse can be offered By Representa-.
tive Mcclure who knows better The

ANCES
TO Be TAXED
According to the New
Tariff BiII--Taft FaV-
OrS II

Washington, d. C.. March 22.-An
entirely new feature In tariff leglsla.
tion which appears IN the Payne tar
III bin Is the proposition TO tax in
heritances. This provision is sched-
uled by the tariff experts to be worth
$2O.0Oo.OO0 annually as a revenue pro-
ducer The tax viii operate by the
transfers Of property, both real and
personal, by inheritance or succession
and by viii.
The inheritance tax features Is one
of President Taft's pet theories. It Is
one Of the things that be brought on.
In his inaugural address and also IN
his first message to congress. New
York state has law OF this charac-
ter The Payne bill provides for a
tax Of 3 per cent on all inheritances to
the value Of $500 or over that are col
lateral inheritances or in which
strangers are legatees. IN the case
Of direct inheritances the bill pre-
scrlbes the following taxes: On SlO.-
0o0 10 100000. j per cent Of the clear
market value Of the property On in
horitance exceeding $500 900 g per cent
Of the clear market value Of the prop
erty.
Even though the ways and means
committee which drew up the tariff
bin are not confident that their bill
will produce revenue sufficient to take
care OF government expenses. no men
ton is made in the bill OF an income
tax OF which so much has been heard
lately both in and out Of administra-
tive circles.
General publicity has been given the
statement in the btu that coffee was
left on the free list. This is not true.
or at least It is very misleading. The
United States imports most of its cof-
fee frcm Brazil. Brazil imposes an
export tax of 81 per bag on all its cof-
fee and the tariff bin provides that a
duty shall be Imposed on all imports
equal to the export tax Of the export
