YOUNG SO[ONS
HELP A[DR|CH
OLDER SENATORS HAVE LITTLE
TO SAY REGARDING TARIFF
REVISION.
Fletcher, of Florida, Upsets Precedents
and Has His Say Regarding. the
Senate Rules.

WASHINGTON, May 7.-One of the
most striking features of the debate
in the senate on the tariff bill, sc
far as it has gone, is the support
which is being given to BOSS Aldrich
by his young colleagues on the finance
committee
AS always happens during the con-
sideration of a great subject like this
which affects every line of business
and practically every class of wages
new leaders are being developed
One would naturally suppose that
such veterans as Hale and Burrows
both of whom have had previous ex,
perience in the preparation of tariff
bills, in the house as we'll as in the
senate, would be foremost in coming
to the assistance of Aldrich when he is
pressed for information.
Instead of that, the elder statesmen
have scarcely uttered a word during
the debate as yet, except to interject
objections to proposed rates affecting
certain of their home industries. It is
the kids" of the committee-Smoot of
Utah, and Flint, of California-who are
always ready to rise in defense of the
bill as reported to the senate and are
prepared with reasons for the changes
that have been made from the house
provisions or from the prevailing Ding
ley rates. Both of these rAen were ap-
pointed to the finance committee only
at the beginning of the present session.
In the case Of Smoot it was quite a
hnin ho
Apostle" fighting for the right to
hold his seat, to the position of taking
a leading part in a tariff discussion.
But both Smoot and Flint have an
parently been giving close attention to
the mass of information that has been
submitted to the finance committee on
the various schedules. They have &C.
CURED vast amount of knowledge and
they are quick to impart it to thier
colleagues when the occasion offers.
Smoot, it appears, not only knows a
great deal about the chemical schedule,
which includes 40 number of articles
which go into the preparation of fer
tlllZers and other matters of general
use, but he is an expert on wool and
woolens. He has been a WooleN manu-
facturer and he started the other dav

however, and had to withhold his VOL
luminous information until later.
Flint and Smoot, both had absorbed
lot OF knowledge about cotton cloth
and were ready to tell the senate Just
why the rates are predicated upon so
many threads to an inch, but mas
much as that subject was only up
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-05-07

casually they had to defer their ex-
PLANTATION. They did, however prodlce
the interesting information that The
changes in these schedules had been
uniformly recommended by the govern
ment treasury experts and were not
the result of representations By manu-
facturers.
But when the laurel is awarded to
the most precocious of new senators, it
will rest on the brow of Hon. Duncan
u. Fletcher, of Florida 1t used to be
the rule that new senator should be
mum for a couple of sessions Within
the past few years hot FLOODED radicals
have asserted their speech making
rights in month or so from the time
Of their installation. Fletcher, who
took his seat a few days ago, beats
them all. Opposite pages Of the con-
greSsiOnal record state the fact that
he was sworn in as senator and tell
what he said in debate Moreover. his
remarks were intended to assist Vice
President Sherman, Aldrich, Culber-
son, CumminS and Bacon in straight
ening a parliamentary tangle
1AC ScIidlOIS were trying 10 redCh
an agreement on the procedure to be
observed in considering the tariff bill
by paragraphs for final action, sub
ject to reconsideration. Aldrich stat
ed the proposition plainly enough. but
in the confusion a number of senators
were unable to hear and the matter
was of such Importance that they took
great pains to get thorough under
standing of it before giving consent.
While they were at it Fletcher inter-
vened to tell the parliamentary status
OF the first paragraph of the bill, which
was then under consideration. to ex-
plain Aldrich's statement concerning it
and to say that the paragraph ought
to stand without change.
The innovation of newcomer Join
ing in the game in the first 10 minutes
of his membership was somewhat sur
prising to the veterans, and they re-
ceived an added shock two days later
when he took the floor for a formal
speech in favor of protective tariff on
lumber and long staple cotton, i'm be-
half of the interests of his state and
the south generally.

SENATOR ALDRlCH IN HIS BILL
HAS NOT SOLVED PROBLEM
OF BIG DEFICIT.
His Bill VIII Make the Receipts Only
About Six Millions More-Leaving
Ninety1Four Millions
Short.

Especial Washington Correspondent of
The Statesman.)
WASHINGTON, May How does
Senator Aldrich intend to raise suffi-
cient revenue to run the government?
This would seem like a simple ques-
ton for the men in charge of the
finances of the United States govern
ment to answer. Yet no explanation
that explains is to be had in all Wash
ington.
The present special session of con-
gress was called to solve this prob
lem, and everyone thought a tariff bill
would be framed that would provide
sufficient revenue to not only pay the
running expenses of the government,
but that would make up for the an
nual deficit of $1G0,o00,000, (due to
simon-pure extravaganza.
Republican senators-even Aldrich' 9
fellow members of the finance commit
tee--have demanded of the senate boss
information that would make clear by
what feature of his bill he sees a way
to raise requisite revenue to conduct
the government. In response to this

Out of fourteen schedules in the sem
ate bill, nine of them show increases
over the. average rate in the existing
law. and the rate is decreased in but
three, while two are, maintained at the
present rate.
Senator Aldrich reasons that a
higher rate will bring more revenue
into the treasury. This is the reverse
from what tariff experience shows.
The higher the import tax on the
schedules above mentioned, the less
revenue. for the government because
it will be less profitable for foreign
manufacturers to export to the United
States. Also, the higher the import
tax. the more of monopoly American
manufacturers (and American trustsl
have on home markets. Lower duties
Increase the custom receipts.
Therefore the present tariff bill
promises to increase the cost of neces-
sites to the consumer increase the
profits of such protected monopolies as
the sugar, and lumber and imple-
ment trusts, and to have many other
undesirable effects-without producing
sufficient revenue to run the govern
ment.

REVENUE
TO RUN NATION

plea Senator Aldrich made a speech
attempting to show that the pending
bill would raise the requisite amount
of revenue. His statements have beer
since torn to pieces and shown to have
been rank impossibilities The explod-
ing of his theories was followed by g
one is in the dark.
The public-to say nothing of rep
resentatives and senators-is interest
ed in knowing whether the bill now
before the senate will accomplish the
purpose of this extra session For this
reason the essential features of the
measure should be explained.
The Dingley law carries an average
rate of duty of 44.95 per cent. The larg-
est amount of revenue that has been
raised under this law in any one year
was $332,233,362, in 1907. The aver
age rate of duty under the pending
senate bill is 47.77 per cent the esti-
mated revenues 1888, 052, 679-a, higher
average rate of duties and an esti-
mated increase of revenues of only
s6,819,317
In his speech in the senate Senator
Aldrich predicted that if his bill be-
come law as it now stands and
with the administrative features that
he had decided upon. the treasury re-
ceipts for 1911 would be about $94 600
600 greater than they were for 1908
and s32,00O,O0O in excess of those fol-
1907. The high-water mark in Gus
toms receipts, as shown above. was
during the latter year. In 1908 they
were S268,113.130 Senator Aldrict
adopts the receipts for 1907, which
were over s64,0oJ,00o greater than last
year. as the basis for his calculations
What the public is vitality con-
cerned about is whether. with an av-
erage rate of duty 2.S2 per cent higher
under the senate bill than under the
existing law, there is any foundation
for the prediction of the republA-a 2
leader that the revenues will be almost
800 100000 larger in 1911 than they
We're last year. How Is such an un-
precedented increase to be brought
about?
Can it come in part in consequence
OF increased importations of articles in
the sugar schedule, which shows q
proposed average rate of .27 per cent
higher than the average rate in the
Dingley law?
can it come in part from the ium-
Der schedule, which Mr. Payne showed
In his report to the house would pro-
duce only $2,926.252 of revenue as
against s3.650,054 under the Dingley
law?
Can IT come in part from chemicals.
oils and paints, upon which the senate
bill imposes average DUTIES 81 per cent
higher than the average rate in the
Dingley law?
Or in part from agricultural products
and provisions, with 1856 per cent
greater average rate than under the
Dingley law?
Or in part from cotton manufactures
bearing an increased tariff tax of 2.s6
per cent over the Dingley rates?
Or from fax, hemp. and jute manu-
features, with increased average rates
of 40 per cent?
Or from pulp papers and books, with
2.27 per cent increase?
Or from sundries carrying a SIS per
cent raise?
These advances do not take into con-
sideration the administrative provision
whereby any rate may be advanced
20 per cent under certain conditions.

thoughts to one whose practice was the reverse
of this"
It is argued by Mr. Fowler that Ingres
founded that school Of realism which survives
to-day" He goes on to develop the point, say
ing: although there has long been notion
that Ingres was stubborn conservative II
would be found inquiry that this serious man
was the pioneer of true realism This valiant
fighter for IineaI and constructive truth, for
subtle and significant form. based on a close
study of the living model, perpetuated the su-
perior school of drawing which is the just pride
of modern France" Modern realism is eclec-

that we wish it might have been modified by
the author at point and extended with ref

before a phase of nature" His observations
are cogent, but need qualification. Delacroix
had all the judgment that was necessary for
the expression of his peculiar genius, and while
it is true that you often find in his work "more
of the theatre than of life" he too often
moved by authentic passion for the theatrical
point to hold. 1t is interesting 70 compare the
portraits that he and Ingres made of Paganini.
Both have truth stamped upon them; but Della
croix's intensely emotional and romantic pOr-
trait is unquestionably the more poignant of
the two souvenirs of the eccentric violinist.
Mr.. Fowler specifically addresses himself to
the portraiture of Ingres, and as his paper Is
brief he is not perhaps to be blamed for leaving
practically untouched another very important
aspect Of the masters genius. He alludes in
passing to few of the subject pictures, but it
seems a pity not to dwell, If only for a moment,
on the creative energy lurking behind those ex-
