Chairman Payne and Congressman
Langley Have Sharp Tilt
On Lumber.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Rep-
resentative Langley had it handed to
him pretty hard by representative
Payne this afternoon. Mr.. Langley
is an ardent advocate of a So duty
on lumber, while Mr.. Payne defended
the course of the WOys and Means
Committee in reducing tn eduty to 81
as tending to reduce the price of
stumpage and check speculation in
timber.
''If the gentleman from New York
lived in the backwoods he would not
want to reduce the price of timber
land" said Mr.. Langley.
40, WE'LL" rejoined Mr.. Payne, "if l
lived in the backwoods, l think |
would climb to the top of high peak
and learn that there were other peo-
pie in the United States besides those
in the woods"
There were laughter and applause
at the expense of Langley, who took
both good naturally.

C0MKITTEE IS
NOW IN SESSION
Burnley Tobacco Society Considering
Case Where Tobacco Was
Not Taken.

The Executive Committee of the
Burley Tobacco Society are in ses-
sion here. Their meeting so far has
been secret and nothing has been
given out, but it is understood that it
was called for the purpose of taking
action on the tobacco that was
bought by w. P. Collins & Son, of
Louisville, and which they have de-
clined to take and also for the sale
of the funked tobacco which was
mentioned in the daily papers recent
ly.
The purchase of Collins & Bro.
amounted to about 1900 hogsheads.
which will probably fall on the other
independents who were partners In
the original purchase, but it may be
that the committee will decide to sell
this amount again to the highest
bidder.
The sale of the funked tobacco
will amount to about $50 hogsheads
of the 1906 crop which were culled
from 5000 hogsheads which have
been graded and delivered.
The Executive Committee spent the
morning at the warehouse where a
large force of graders are at work.

SAID TO
HAVE K|DNAPER
Two Men and Woman Are Caught il.
Act of Leaving
Cleveland.

Special to The News.
SHARON, Penn, March 24.-Jam-
es Whitla and his son, Willie, left
lat noon for Cleveland to view the
suspects The names are believed to
be Mrs. Helen Foullner and James
Boyle. The woman is reported to
be relative of the Whitla family.
Cleveland, o.. March 24.-Two men
and woman were arrested here by
Captain Shattuck and Detective Ward
on Ontario street, having in their pos
session s9,S45.5O in currency.
To the police they explained that
they were on their way to the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad depot, but they
declined to reveal their identity or
their destination.
Part of the money was found in a
satchel which was carried by one of
the men, and upon being searched at
the police station more of the money
in currency was found secreted in the
skirt of the woman.
AT the police station the woman ap-
peared to be the spokesman of the
party, and said You have got the
goods on us and there will De hell in
Sharon tomorrow"
Captain Shattuck and Detective
Ward were attracted by the move
ment of the trio and approached them
with view to learn their identity.
whittier are you bound in such
haste?" inquired the police captain.
The man carrying the satchel drop
ped his precious burden and started
to run. The remaining man and wom-
an stood their ground. Shattuck took
up the chase for the fleeing man and
captured him only after two shots
had been fired, while Ward stood
guard over the others. Chief of Po-
lice Kohler and Inspector Rowe are
confident that the possession of so
large an amount of money warrants
the suspicion that the trio may have
been implicated in the kidnapping of
Willie Whitia.

Washington, March 24.-That de-
termined effort will be made to re-
duce public expenditures to such an
extent that governmental needs may
be met by revenues derived from du-
ties on imports, and without resorting
to anyof the special taxation schemes
that have been suggested in connec-
ton with tariff revision, is indicated
by a remark made by Senator AL
drich, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on finance.
During the recess of the committee
Mr.. Aldrich was asked to give his
opinion of the plan, enormously ac-
credited to President Taft, to place a
tax on dividends declared by corpora
tons. Mr.. Aldrich replied that he
had not given thought to it, and add
ed that he would not concern himself
with any of the various plans to raise
revenues by special taxes until it
could be ascertained how much reve-
nue. could be produced by levying du-
ties on imports, and whether the run
ming operations of the government
could not be decreased so as to make
special taxes unnecessary.
Great significance is attached to
the remark made by Mr.. Aldrich. 1t
is asserted upon what is thought to
be accurate information that major
ity of the members of the finance
committee regard with disfavor the
proposed inheritance tax feature, the
proposed income tax, levies upon div
idends of corporations, tax on coffee,
and practically all forms of stamp
taxes.
1t is recognized that in the form in
which the Payne bill was reported to
the house from the ways and means
committee sufficient revenues to pay
the running expenses of the govern
ment, at least upon the present basis
of annual appropriations, can not be
collected from duties on imports
alone. The inference drawn from Mr..
Aldrich's expression, therefore, Is
that the revision of the tariff must
curtail the tendency to expand annual
appropriations at each succeeding
session of congress.
No credence is given at the capital
to the story that President Taft and
Senator Aldrich have disagreed over
any of the features of the tariff bill.
1t is true that Mr.. Taft has discussed
several of the special taxation fea-
lures that have been discussed pub
licly by tariff experts in congress, but
it is generally believed that the pres
ident will welcome any plan to avoid
imposing these taxes if they can be
avoided without raising the existing
duties on the necessities of life and
by lowering the duties on some art
cles that hebelieves are now too high.

Question about oiling the streets to
be agitated.
The Street Committee of the City
Council has received several bids on
the oiling the streets but nothing
further has been done. 1t will prob
ably be month or more before any
thing can be done as the Mayor will
wait until the weather warns up. He
also intends before doing this to

DISCUSSES INHERITANCE TAX
Representative Payne Says II Is Bet
ter Than Income Tax.

Representative Payne Says II Is Bet
ter Than Income Tax.
Washington, March "a. - Following
an elaborate explanation of the adj
ministrative features of the Payne
tariff bill, Mr.. Payne discussed the
inheritance tax proposed. I'VE want
ed some more revenue, about $780,
600 900 more" he said. 1--WE wanted
to make ends meet under this bill,
and therefore we provided for an in
heritance tax" He stated that a
proposition for an income tax was be-
fore the committee, but there were
strong doubts about the constitution
atty of such tax.
He was interrupted by Mr.. Clark
(Mo) with an inquiry If it was not
true that President Taft had intimat-
ed that an income tax could be drawn
that the supreme court as now consti-
tuted would declare constitutional. Mr..
Payne replied that he did not believe
President Taft ever made such an as
sertion.
That President Taft did make such
a suggestion was the contention of
Mr.. James (Ky.). In 1907, at Colum-
bus, O., he said Mr. Taft incorporated
that proposition in a speech, which
was taken down geographically and
printed in the newspapers.
Mr.. Payne, while not doubling Mr..
James statement, said he did not
know whether Mr.. Taft took that
view or not. 81 don't think, how
ever" he said, that there is any au-
thority for such a law"
Both Mr.. James and Mr.. Clark
pointed to the fact that certain por-
tons of the income tax provision of
the Wilson bill, which we're not held
to be unconstitutional, could be en-
forced, and inquired why something
was no, done TO enforce that Jaw.
Mr.. Payne's response was that 1t
was not believed an income tax law
was constitutional. But even so, he
said, he would prefer an inheritance
tax, because an income tax occa-
stoned perjury and fraud unending.
With this discussion Mr.. Payne.
after being on the floor for five hours
and ten minutes. closed Before he
sat down Mr.. Garner (Tex.) renewed
