WAR REVENUE

1T IN NEW TARIFF BILL
FREE LEATHER-CUT OF ONE
HALF IN LUMBER DUTIES
CHEAPER SHOES.

Washington, March 9.-Having
been practically completed by the
trainers portions of the new tar
i'll bill last night were sent TO the
government printer. 1t is expected
that by Wednesday the entire meas
ure will be in type.
Although no announcement has
been made by the House committee
on ways and means regarding any
of the schedules on unquestionable
authority that as a concession to the
shoe men becau-e Of the placing o!
hides on thN free list, the duty on
shoes will be considerably reduced
While no figures were obtainable re-
garding the steel schedule, it was
stated, on the same authority, that q
substantial reduction in the duty on
steel raj s, tools and similar pro-
ducts is provided for. A duty OF
four cents pound on coffee is levied
ThiJ is by way of compromise with
the Porto Ricans, who demanded
tax of six cents a pound.
Whiskey and beer will remain a.
they are at present, If the Sub com
mittee recommendations are enact
ed into law. 1t was felt that whis
key was already carrying all the
lax it could rtand, while in the case
OF beer the prohibition movement
throughout the country, it was ex-
planned, had cut down the consump
ton Of beer, and it was felt that f.
was a hardship to impose any fur
tn tax.
It having become manifest to the
committee that the duties derived
from customs under the new law
would not produce the revenue ex-
pected they turned to the expedient
Of reyiying the war revenue act OF
1898, which placed tax on tele-
grams, bank checks, playing cards
and al stocks bought or sod. THAI

corporated in the measure as draft
