II may be asked what would happen
If 1t should be found that have been
over sanguine or wholly inaccurate in my
statements Of probable conditions and re-
suits. What shall we do IL the revenues
actually received are less than those 1
have anticipated, and large deficiencies
are threatened? I answer with emphasis
that 1t would then be the imperative duty
of Congress to reduce expenditures and
make them conform to actual revenue
conditions, and not to impose new and
onerous taxes The legislative power OF

stitute the CRUCIAL point in our investi-
Applied to Imports of 1907.
For the purpose of ascertaining the
relative revenue-producing qualities
the Senate bill and the act of 1897, the
committee on finance has had prepared
a statement which IL laid before the
Senate this morning. 1t applies the rates
of the Senate bill to the importations of
19U7-!n other words 1t shows the revenue
that would have been derived from the
Importation made in 1907 If the Senate
bill had been In force during that year.
Changes in Administration
THE changes which we propose to
make In the administrative act include
QD new definitions of dutiable value and
new methods in its proper entertainments;
CD more efficient collection machinery.
and (3) a provision for the creation Of
customs court to insure uniformity of
decisions In customs cases. The pro-
visions suggested will. In the opinion Of
Of certain percentage more revenue
in the importation of the same articles
than was collected under the act OF 1897.
The extent of the undervaluations
estimated at from 10 to Is per cent Of
the evenue collection II any cOnsid-
erable portion OF this practice is cor
rected by the provisions I have alluded
to we can certainly safely add five mil
lions to the estimate of revenue in the
year 1910. making a total estimate of
| revenue for 1910. based upon the i'm
portation Of 1907. OF SS45, 100000. have
assumed that the Importation Of 1907 is
the proper basis for comparison. We
should not lose sight of the fact that
there will be approximately four mil
lions of people more in the United States
to be provided for in 1910 than in 1907,
and IL other conditions remain the same
there will be a natural increase from
this cause. The committee believes that
the extent of importations and resulting
revenue will be greater in 1910 than In
1907 because OF improved business con-
ditions.

Increased Business Activity.

Business activity and the movement
for increased importations have already
commenced. We can feel the change in
the air. The customs receipts for the
thirty-nine business days from March 1
to April Is. inclusive, increased. as COM
pared with the corresponding days in
1903. 2,O31 ,O93.OS or an average daily
increase Of $261. $3.50. This increase
seems to be progressive. as the report
for the last day which l have-April 16-
| shows receipts from all sources $2O72.-
O71.S6. as compared with receipts OF
81. .2S3 .321 80 on the corresponding day of
last year. The total receipts from Gus
| toms for the first sixteen days of April
| were $15,976, 1O6.67, against $11 1,O39. .277. Is
In April of last year. and the statement
OF the 1st to the 18th of April shows an
excess OF receipts over expenditures this
| year Of $312.929.92 as against an excess
| of expenditures over receipts OF the cor
| responding period OF last year Of $685.
925SS
There is no incentive for these en-
larged importations except improved con-
| ditions OF the country and reduced stocks
Of imported merchandise said Mr.. AL
drich. The character OF the legislation
proposed furnishes no reason for accel-
| Grated imports, as there are practically
| no rates above the rates imposed by the
act of 1897. 1t must be conceded that
the era of prosperity which commenced
the first part OF March is likely to con-
| tinue uninterruptedly with the enact
ment of wise tariff legislation.

Waste Of Public Money.

"The conditions under which appropria-
tions are usually made by Congress are,
perhaps in part responsible for the Will
full waste of public money. Each depart
ment practically makes its own recon-
mendaticns independently Of all others.
The committees In charge Of the various
appropriation bills are required to con-
slider only the needs of the respective de-
partments for which they report ap-
preparations and without reference to the
total amount OF money available.
1T is important in the interest of the
public service that q radical change in
the procedure with reference to appro-
priations should be made. 1t should be
the function OF the committee on public
expenditures. recently created, to take
into consideration. long before the appro-
priation bills are received from the House
the estimates and needs Of the various
departments and report their recon-
mendations to the Senate in order that re-
sponsibility for future extravaganza may
be fixed. From an examination. more or
less superficial. am myself satisfied that
