Washington News Letter

Washington, d. O., July 15.-The
President has practically achieved
his first real victory in the framing OF
the tariff bill. Ever since the Senate
framed the administrative features of
the bill there have been manifesto
tlons Of discomfort on the part of the
House leaders over the tariff com
mission feature. Both houses of con.
gress have refused to create a tariff
commission outright but at the
instance OF the President the senate,
In writing its maximum and. mini
mum provision, authorized the Presi-
dent To employ such experts as he
may deem wise to investigate and re-
port to him al. facts regarding costs
of production and other information
which may prove useful 10 connection
with the tariff. This means, OF
course, that the President under the
provision will have power to create a
tariff commission aud to charge it
with the duty of ascertaining the
cost Of production here and abroad.
That is precisely What the house
leaders object to. They prefer The
present method Of making tariff
and are intensely opposed to the
existence Of any commission or other
body Of experts which will ascertain
facts which will necessarily constitute
a basis for the fixing of rates.
The house cobferrees accepted with
out difficulty all of the administrative
features of the Senate bill except the
provision regarding tariff commits
sion. That they emphatically re-
jected. Representative Payne is as
strongly opposed to the proposition
as Speaker Cannon aud Representa-
tive John Dalzell is. il possible, even
more so. When the President learned
that the tariff commission proposition
was likely to he stricken from the
bill he sent for Senator A:drich aud

errors committed at opportune times
however, gave the game to the visit

spectators viewpoint. The Rath.

over that OF the visitors. Knor

FIRST NATIONAL CONVENTION is
CALLED TO URGE CONGRESS TO
TAKE THIS STEP.
VAN CLEAVE GIVES REASONS,
President of Manufacturers Believes
House Committee Will Always Be
Biased in Work.
LACKS MENTAL KNOWLEDGE, TOO.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 16.-The
first national tariff commission conven-
ton whose delegates hope to point the
way for the establishment of perma
nept tariff commission assembled herr
today to choose as permanent chairman
j. w. Van Cleave Of st. Louis, presi
dent of the National Association of Man
ufacturers Chairman Van Cleave had
been one of the leaders in the movement
for this convention and his activity had
called forth protests from the ranks OF
the manufacturers organization. En-
dorsement of his work by the executive
committee Of his organization yesterday
made him double victor.
In opening the convention, Chairman
Van Cleave said:
by our present tariff framing ma
chinery we cannot make this sort OF an
adjustment of the schedules because
Like mankind in general most OF the
persons consulted by the ways and
means committee in framing tariff meas
ures are selfish, and thus are biased in
the interest of their own industry.
1.-THE committee lacks the knowledge
to enable it to detect extravaganza or
distortion in the witnesses statements.
Even if the committee had the knoWl-
edge it lacks the time to make the IN
quiry on which it could correct them.
THE committee is partisan, as it al
ways and necessarily is, under Demo
cratic. as well as under Republican
sway.

Argue on Subject of Fines.

Arguments on the demurrer Of the city
to the complaint of the state asking an
accounting of money collected as fines
in municipal court will be heard by
Judge Turner Saturday morning. The
suit was filed several months ago. It
charges that the city has no right to
collect the fines, which rightfully belong
TO the state. The fines have for years
been divided between the county and
the city, and the amount which is said
TO have been collected illegally is be-
tween 100000 and $1,0OO000. The city
claimed in its demurrer that the county
should have been named in the COM
plant, and that the complaint did not
show sufficient cause of action.

TO ATTACK THE
INHERITANCE LAW,

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 16.-[Special.l
A general attack upon the constitu-
tionality of the Inheritance tax law
which brings 100000 annual revenue
into the state treasury, will be made
early in April. when the state supreme
court will take up two of the most i'm
portant assignments of the year, the
Pabst inheritance case and the appeal
of Abbie e. Beals of Milwaukee. 1t
was announced in the court today that
the Beals case, which was to have been
argued on the last assignment, would be
continued and argued on the same as
signment as the Pabst case, in order
that the court have all the evidence re-
lating to the validity of the legacy tax
before it for consideration at one time
The arrangement was made more by
circumstance than by forethought The
Beals case was slated for trial and argu-
ment during the recent disastrous snow
storm, when the Milwaukee lawyers
were unable to get to Madison. The
court suggested the submission of the
case upon briefs, but when it was dis
covered that the Pabst case, also at
lacking the validity of the Inheritance
tax law. was on the calendar for argu-
ment later in the year, an arrangement
was effected to have both considered at
one time. The supreme court is little
behind in its assignment, but will be
able to complete the cases before it be-
fore adjournment in June. The August
calendar will not be completed for three
or four weeks. and then the January
calendar viii be taken up.

The British income tax is not only the
heaviest but the hardest, most inquisi-
torial in the world. The three year aver
age having been done away. man now
is assessed on his profits or gains during
the year of assessment. The death du-
ties are a fearful burden on all classes.
Since they were imposed in 1894 they
have yielded f220,OO0,0OO. Many landed
estates have paid twice or three times
within five or six years, with the result
that they are utterly crippled. Fine
houses have gone to ruin. and hundreds
of agricultural laborers have been thrown
out of employment. For a so-called free
trade country the duties are very high
