TAFT TARIFF BILL
SPELLS a FAILURE

but creates an inheritance tax, which
| is already on the statute books of 3S
states and will therefore mean double
| taxation.
It does not provide for prominent
| tariff commission which President
Taft says he approves of.
1t raises the cost of many necessities
and fails utterly to carry out the
promise President Taft made in his
inaugural address of advancement of
few schedules, 4if any,"
It plainly discriminates against the
DOR in favor of the rich. In advancing
the rates on necessities the committee
taxed the class of articles that would
be principally purchased by the poor
much higher than the class Of goods
purchased practically exclusively by
the wealthy
These are the principal flaws in the
great republican tariff bill which has
just '~c4n turned out of the Cannon
DALI @H-roe legislative hopper. And
no mention has been made of the hard
ships imposed upon the consumer by
particular increases of duties, as on
! gloves, hosiery, cocoa. spices of nearly
| all kinds lumber and agricultural i'm
plements.
| In contrast to the Payne bill. the
democrats declare the resolution in
troduced by the minority leader.
Champ Clark to recommit the measure
to the ways and means committee
with instructions to make certain
! amendments will go down in tariff his
| tory as an earnest to the country of
what the democratic members favored.
Here are some of the amendments
| of the Clark resolution. which was in
troduced just before the vote on tt
Payne measure, and was rejected by
! the republican majority:
Reduce the duties carried by the
bill to revenue rates, so as to raise
the maximum Of revenue with the
minimum of burden of taxation upon
the masses of the American people, so
adjusting the rates Of duty as to deal
fairly with both producer and consul
mer, with due regard to the needs of
the government.
Provide for a graduated tax to be
levied on incomes.
amend by placing leather harness.
boots, Shoes and all products OF
leather on the free list.
Amend by placing articles entering
into competition with trust controlled
products upon the freelist.
"Place cocoa upon the free list Cut
all increases made in the Payne bill on
hosiery and gloves.
amend by placing all agricultural
implements on the free list.
amend by adding the following
paragraph: Whenever the president
shall be satisfied that the price of any
commodity or article of merchandise
has been enhanced in consequence Of
any monopoly or trust in the United
States, he shall issue his proclamation
suspending the collection of all Gus
toms duties or import taxes on like
articles of merchandise or commodi
ties brought from foreign countries"

MEASURE THAT PASSED HOUSE
is FAR SHORT OF THAT
EXPECTED.
Filled With Jokers to Favor Moneyed
interests and Reeking With Poll
tical Barter.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-(Special
to the )-F'ailure-this was
the word indelibly written across the
Taft administration tariff bill that
passed the house of representatives,
in the view of experts who have now
had time to weigh the measure care
fully and render a verdict
Filled with jolzers that pretend to re-
duce schedules but that actually ad-
vance them, reeking with evidences of
political barter and mysterious elev-
enth hour changes at the hands of
the committee on ways and means, the
now famous Payne bill is in the hands
of the senate. 1t is conceded even by
many republicans that the upper house
of congress must practically either re-
frame the bill throughout in the inter-
est of the consumer Or prepare to face
defeat in the coming congressional
elections.
Will the senate prove itself to be
freer from trust influence than the
house? Time will tell. If the Payne bill
is improved from the standpoint Of
the people it will be the first time the
upper house of congress ever yielded
to popular opinion, during the consid-
Grafton of tariff bill. The Wilson bill,
it is recalled, went to the senate en-
dorsed blythe people and after~over 600
changes was enacted into law along
lines dictated by the trusts.
The special interests still have rep
resentation in the senate. Big indus
tries that contributed heavily to re-
publican campaign funds will prob
ably have their way in the end but
not without some difficulty. There are
few insurgents in the senate who
will stand with the democrats in a
fight for real revision downward. An
interesting fight will undoubtedly oc-
cur between the stand pat crowd,
headed by Aldrich. and the progressive
element of the republican party and
the democrats.
From first to last the Payne bill
discriminates against the south and
west in favor of the New England
states. There appears to be little hope
of this feature being improved in the
senate
Here are other striking features of
the Payne bill:
1t fails to provide adequate revenue
to run the government. The democrats
declare this feature alone brands it a
fiasco.
1t fails to provide for an income tax

CLEANUP DAY AT DAYTON.
Give Pride Causes General Activity
and City Shows Improvement.

DAYTON, April 17.-Never was
cleanup day more generally observed
in Dayton and the transformation to-
day is reflective of civic pride of more
than ordinary interest. Complying with
the request of Mayor E. Benbow, every
business house in the city closed their
doors at / O'Clock and the schools were
dismissed early in the afternoon so
that the eight hundred school children
might lend hand in the fight against
unsightliness.
Yards. alleys. street parkings and
vacant lots sent a wonderfully inn
proved. appearance and hundreds of
bonfires are ablaze this evening all
over the city. Public premises were
we'll taken care of by progressive cit
izens. There is nothing this evening to
indicate that the Booster club made an
exaggerated statement when they said
that DAYTON is the cleanest city In
eastern Washington
Despite the fact that the populace,
from the small bow just strong enough
TO grasp a rake in his tiny hand to

large number of people found time to
attend the tall game at the city park

FUEL OIL PASSES
NAVY TEST FLYING
Monitor Cheyenne Finds 1t Cheaper
Faster, More Even,
Cleaner

SAN PEDRO, Cal, April 1.-THE
coast defense monitor Cheyenne re-
turned to this port yesterday from a
long cruise made to test the efficiency
of oil as fuel. Although no official
statement will be made until the re
port sent to Washington is given out
officers who have watched the tests
fuel for warshps Of all kinds
They say it has been proven that
the saving in fuel is considerable as
we'll as the saving in labor, and that
the working Of the oil-burning plant
installed on the monitor at Mare Is
land has been perfect, theoretically
and practically. Steam pressure can
be maintained much more evenly than
with coal, a higher speed can be Sc
cured and smoke, cinders and dirt are
eliminated.
In times Of war, the absence of
smoke, the officers point out, is a VAL
liable consideration, as it makes it
much more difficult for an enemy to
discover the presence OF the ship or
to locate her exact whereabouts.
With oil the Cheyenne, on a high
power trial trip, has been able to
make higher rate Of speed than with
coal, and her steaming radium of
1900 miles with coal has been increased
to 23OO with OIL The air supplied to
the burners is super heated to about
400 degrees Fahrenheit before enter
ing the burners. and the oil to about
200 degrees. The oil is used in a gas
oline state instead of as liquid The
officers say that the Cheyenne has
successfully demonstrated that oil for
fuel will be a success in the navy.

AERIAL NAVIGATION
SEASON APPROACHES
Nations Aeronauts to Participate in
Opening-Army Balloon Squads
Will Be Transferred From Fort
Wood to Fort Meyer-Tests
Will Be Made.

WASHINGTON April 17.-With the
open season or aerial flight rapidly APP
preaching. activity will soon begin al
Fort Myer. The signal corps of the
army, which conducted the tests held
there last year when Lieutenant
Thomas H. Selfridge was killed in the
wreck of the Wright aeroplane, in
which Orville Wright was himself seri-
ously injured, is already making pre-
liminary arrangements for the contin-
uation of those tests. The balloon
squad will be transferred from Fort
Wood to Fort Myer next week and
will Immediately overhaul the free and
captive balloons belonging to the corps,
as we'll as the Baldwin dirigible, which
was purchased last year.
Acknowledged Successful.
The contracts for the delivery OF
heavier than-air machines, held by
the Wright brothers of Dayton, o., who
are now in Rome, and by A. M. Her
ring of New York, have not yet been
fulfilled in every detail Orville
Wright, previous to the. accident to
his machine, made numerous flights.
some of which fulfilled certain of the
conditions specified in his contract but
none of them was official. He will
have to make one flight for endurance,
remaining in the air for two hours.
and another for. speed. 1t is generally
acknowledged that the Wright broth
ers. barring accident, can meet these
conditions successfully.
Although A. M. Herringer has made
a technical delivery of his aeroplane
at Fort Meyer, ne has not made any
public flights. He has formed a COM
pany with Glenn H. Curtiss, whose
fights in the June Bug and other ma
chimes belonging to the Aerial Expert
ment association, have made him ia
NOUS in the world of aeronautics. The
appearance of these two aeronauts
with an aeroplane for which many new
things are claimed, is being awaited
with keen expectation.
Prominent AeronaVts.
Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm and
Lieutenant Benjamin D. Faulois, the
most prominent aeronauts in the sig
nal corps. will conduct the trials at
Fort Myer this season. Major George
O Suuier, assistant chief signal off,
