ways that he would be satisfied with
nothing less. In his inaugural address

the possible necessity Of a stamp tax.

PASSED THIS YEARS DIVIDEND.
Action Taken by Hamburg American
Steamship Co. Directors.

Hamburg. March S.-The board Of
directors OF the Hamburg American
Steamship company voted today to
PASS this years dividend. This is
The first year in which no dividend has
Ieen paid since 1894. Last year the
dividend was six per csat. The net
earnings of the company for last year
amounted to about $4,000, 900. as COM
pared with S6,250,000 in 1907 After
meeting the interest charges, the COM
pany viii write on and carry in the
reserves the remaining $3,250. 900. In
1907 nearly S4,500,000 was absorbed in
this way. The figures Of that year do
not include the 100000 which the
International Mercantile Marine co.
contracted to pay to the Hamburg
American company in case the divi-
dend was not earned.
The depreciation in the company's
earnings. 1t is stated, is due to the
depression in the ocean carrying trade
ir all parts Of the world. In addi-
ton the company has been under
heavy expense during the past few
) ears owing to the building of large
steamers. Herr Ballin, the director
said in an interview today that an
improvement could be observed lately
IN all departments of the company's 5
business. especially In the transporta-
tion Of emisrants to the United States.

MIssoURrS TWo-cEkT
PASSENGER LAW NuLLIFIED
Decision Of. United States District
Court May Affect Every State.

Kansas City, Mo. March s.-AIissou-
rfs two-cent passenger and maximum
freight laws were nullified by decis-
ion handed down today in the United
States district court by Judge Smith
MoPherson. As a result, it is believ-
ed there will be a quick return in
Missouri to three-cent fares Frank
Hagerman, for the eighteen companies
involved, asserted today that the de-
cision sounded the death kneIl of the
two-cent rate in. every state in the
union.
Judge Mcpherson held that both the
commodity and passenger laws were
confiscatory and unconstitutional. Mr..
Hagerman declared that [ is not con-
ceivable that if the two-cent rate is
confiscatory in Missouri it can be COM
pensatory in other states.
The state, on the other hand, de-
clared emphatically that Missouri's
fight for lower railroad rates would
be continued.
Elliot ]. Mayor. attorney general
who was in court today when the de-
cision was read, said that an appeal
would be taken and that the present
legislature would be asked to pass
new rate laws that would stand the
test of the courts. Governor Hadley
made a similar statement.

PORTIONS or TARIFF BILL
SENT TO THE PRINTER.
Whiskey and Beer to Remain as at
Present--War Revenue Revived.

Whiskey and Beer to Remain as at
Present-War Revenue Revived.
Washington. March s.-Having been
practically completed by the tariff
trainers, portions of the new tariff bill
were sent tonight to the government
printer. It is expected that by We'd
nesday the entire measure Will be in
type.
Although no announcement has been
made by the house committee on ways
and means regarding any of the sched-
ules of the tentative bill, 1t has been
learned on unqnestionable authority
that as q concession ito the shoe men,
because of hides being placed ON the
free list the duty on shoes will be con-
siderably reduced. While no figures
were obtainable regarding the steel
schedule, it was stated on the same
authority that a substantial reduction
in the duty on steel rails, tools and
similar products is provided for. A
duty of four cents a pound on coffee Is
levied. This Is by way of compromise
with the Porto Ricans, who demanded
tax Of six cents pound.
Whiskey and Beer Tax Unchanged.
Whiskey and beer will remain as
they are at present. if the sub-commit-
tees resolutions are enacted into law.
1t was felt that whiskey was already
clrryi 1g all the tax IL could stand, and
that in the case of beer the prohibition
movement throughout the country had
cut down the consumption of beer so
that it would be hardship to impose
any further tax.
War Revenue Act of 1898 Revived.
1t having become manifest to the
committee thai the duties derived from
customs under the new bill would not
produce the revenue expected, they
considered the expedient of reviving
the war revnue act OF 1898, which plac-
ed tax on kilograms, bank checks
playing cards, and all stocks bought or
sold. That feature of the war revenue
act Is incorporated in the measure as
drafted. II is said.
Tax Inheritances.
A matter which is perplexing the
committee is q tax on inheritances
President Taft wants such a tax, it is
declared, and is pressing the committee
to take action along that line The
indications are, ii is said, that the
committee will yield to the presidents
wishes.
President Taft is seeking to have
copy of the bill delivered to the SEN
ate committee on finance berore the
special session begins, so that it may
begin work on it at once. believing that
much time win be saved thus and that
the extra session will be materially
curtailed.
