ing Three Hours.

Washington, July 1.-Senator Cum
Minis of Iowa occupied nearly the en-
tire day In discussing the income tax
and corporation tax amendments TO
the tariff bill. Declaring that s479,
100000 must he raised from customs
duties and an inheritance, corporation
or income tax to properly meet the
expenditures of the government and
to keep up the sinking fund Mr.. Cum
minis presented q letter from Secre-
tary MacEeagh of the treasury de-
partment stating that a deficit ap-
peared in the sinking fund at the close
of the fiscal year 1908 of $549, 3S3, 647
although up to that period the total
debt had been reduced $32, 900 In eX-
cess OF the sinking fund requirement.
Estimating at $S40, ,0O0, 900 the amount
Of money required by the government
for the fiscal year 1911 Mr.. Cumrnins
declared that not more than $3.50, ,000,-
600 would be raised from internal rev.
enue and not more than S340, 900, 900
throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, West
enues under the Payne bill, leaving
about s240.0o0,00O to be supplied from
some other source.
my conclusion is" ne said 'the
deficit will be SIZE. 100000 at the close
of 1911"
He declared that no one could inves-
tigate the subject without being con-
vinced that there must be large def
icits every year hereafter and he as
serted that every penny which wod'd
result from the enactment of his and
Mr.. Bailey's income tax amendment
would be necessary to meet the de-
mands of the government.
A tax on Incomes, he declared, ought
TO be the first imposed and it should be
levied by every state as well as by
the national government. Sententious-
ly, he said, "wc should lay the tax on
fortune rather than on misfortune" /"
He said this course would place the
burden of government where Ii would
belong and would discard all unprof-
liable property. He contended that
the accumulations of property do not
pay their share Of the taxes and said
there would be no injustice in increas-
ing their proportion of the general
burden. After Mr.. Cummins had
spoken three hours the senate took a
recess for half an hour to allow him
and other members time for luncheon.

IRON AND STEEL IMPROVES
lmportations of Crude Materials for
Manufacturing Purposes Proof
of Reviving Industry.

New York City.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
The developments of the week are
of special significance. One is the
distinct improvement in the iron and
steel trade, on which the whole com
mercial situation depends. The re
duced prices have stimulated an act
i've demand, which in turn brought
about this week lifting of prices on
number of products. The demand
is especially notable for construction
and agricultural interests. The 9th.
er development is the foreign com.
merce statement, which reveals ex-
traordinary importations of crude ma.
terials for manufacturers purposes,
clear proof of reviving industry.
The cold weather of the week has,
however, been unfavorable and re.
tarded business in mercantile lines.
