STATUS OF The TARIFF BILL

The tariff bill is now in committee OF
conference OF the two houses OF Congress,
and the real pulling and hauling will
there take place. The Aldrich bill, en-
bracing s47 amendments to the House or
Payne bill, is practically q new measure,
drawn on different lines and embracing
not only changes in schedule rates, but
materially different features. The Payne
bill seems to have answered, in the main,
the expectations OF the country for
downward revision of the tariff. 1t was
admittedly deficient as q revenue produc-
er, and to supply this provision was in
cluded laying q tax on inheritances.
President Taft, it then appeared, favored
this feature.
When the Senate finance committee
tackled the Payne bill, it promptly
knocked out the inheritance tax feature,
led by Senator AIdrich, its chairman,
who pledged bis word that without it the
new act would produce revenue enough.
There was in the Senate a very strong ele-
ment, that may have reached q majority,
which favored an income tax amendment,
and when Aldrich made his prediction he
appealed especially to that element. But
as time went on, though the Aldrieh bill
showed up the Payne bill rates, the in
come tax gained such strength that it
frightened its opponents. To head it of,
President Taft devised the corporation
tax, coupled with the proposition to sub
init an income tax amendment to the con-
stitution for adoption by the states.
/ Wonderful to relate, Aldrich fell in with
this. He said the corporation tax would
Weld $50. 900, 900 year and supply any
deficit that might occur for year or two,
when it would probably be repealed. He
admitted that be favored it only because
J he liked the income tax less.
The bill, with this important change.
passed the Senate, with ten Western Re
publieans voting against it. The House
is said to he up in arms and determined
to adhere to the main lines Of the Payne

does not please Taft and he may not ap-
prove it il it finally passes.
The Aldrich bill does not satisfy the
country. Republicans, as well as Demo
Gratis, feel that it is pretense at revision,
not true and honest one. Its auspices
place it under suspicion. No one be-
lieves Aldrich to be other than a rank
protectionist who would reduce duties
only as compelled to, with no heart or
sympathy in his work. The honest revi-
sionists have been crowded to the back
ground and most Of them oppose this
bill. Some OF the reductions are nomin.
al, rather than actual, and where any
question of conflict between producer and
consumer has occurred, the latter has in
variably suffered.
There is possibility of goId-brick in
the income tax amendment as offered.
Instead of being submitted to constitu-
tional conventions of the people, answer

Not Piety, sut PIgheadeaness.

At the Vermont Congregational confer

places weaker churches be asked to recip-

This is q step which deserves commenda-

IS ON TRIAL
Standard Oil Company Of Indi-

cago Courts Today.
Associated Press.

Chicago, February 22.-Attorneys
and witnesses are gathering in Chica-
go today for the beginning of the re-
trial of the rebate case against the
Standard Oil Compony of Indiana,
which is set for tomorrow before
Judge A. Anderson, of the United
States district court. This is the case
in which the fine of $29,240,000, i'm
posed by Judge Lands, was reversed
by the appellate court.
Albert B. Anderson, who will pre-
side at the trial, is resident of In
dianapolis, and has been United
States District Judge in Indiana since
1902. Before his elevation to the
bench he was one of the best-known
attorneys in the Hoosier State. Judge
Anderson was born at Zionsville, Ind,
in 1857, was graduated from Wabash
College in 1879, and was admitted to
the bar in 1881. In 1886 and again in
1888 his was elected prosecuting at
torney for Montgomery county. On
several occasions he refused Congress
ional nominations.
1t was in part due to the efforts of
Judge Anderson that John r. Walsh,
the Chicago banksr and promoter,
was indicted in connection with the
operations of his bank which failed.
He was found guilty of manipulating
the funds of the bank and was SEN
fenced to five years in prison. His
case is now pending on appeal. Judge
Anderson presided at his trial.

TO DISCUSS THE LUMBE
rhe following resolutions were

The following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, 1t is currently reported
that the question of reducing the tariff
on lumber is being seriously consider
ed by the Ways and Means Committee
of the Congress of the United States,
and,
Whereas, the present tariff is al
ready as low as it would be wise for
public revenue, and
Whereas, the numbering industry diff
fers from nearly all the other indus
tries, in that its principal investment
is in standing timber which yields
no retr.rns save onl as manufactured,
and,
Whereas, for the above reasons the
saw mill interests are principally so
cireumstanced that they must operate
regardless for the purpose of revenue
to meet fixed charges and other liabil-
tiles, and,
Whereas, Any reduction in the
schedule affecting lumber is bound to
react disastriously, forcing the manu-
facture of onl the higher qualities
and permitting about 80 per cent or
more of the timber necessary to be
cut to remain lying upon the land to
rot and become a complete loss, there
by necessitating the denuding of a
greater number of acres of timber
lands to ield the required revenue, and,
revenue, and,
Whereas Such action would mean
serious and Widespread decentralization
to all business interest in that furth-
er depression in lumber prices would
permanently cripple many of the saw
mills and other woodworking industries
and at the same time affect disastri-
ously the wage earning power of
vast army of day laborers, not only
for today, but hereafter, and,
Whereas, any reduction in the pres
ent tariff on lumber would result in
retarding still further the revival of
business not only in the yellow pine
section but throughout this State.
Therefore be it resolved, that the
representatives of Mississippi in the
Congress of the United States be re-
spectfully petitioned to uses the full
weight of their influence to retain the
present schedule on lumber.
Resolve that the secretary be in
structed to have these resolutions
printed and a copy forwarded to each
one of the representatives of Missis-
sippi in the National Congress.
