SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE

Washington, d. c.. July 81, 1911.

Another step toward carrying out cam
paign pledges was taken by the Democratic
majority Of the House Of Representatives
when 1t adopted a cotton schedule which
greatly reduces the tax on all kinds Of cot
ton goods.
If the Republican Senate and President
Taft will permit the bill to become a law,
the public will be assured of substantial
reductions in prices. The bill is so framed
as to be particular boon to the poor, for
the greatest reductions are made on cot
tons used by the middle classes and the
poor. This feature of the Democratic bill
is in particularly striking contrast to the
Payne Aldrich law, which levies the lowest
rates on the grades of cOttons used by the
wealthy and the highest tax on the cOttons
used by the poor
The Payne-Aldrich tax of 5000 per
cent. on ready made clothing and articles
of wearing apparel of every description
composed of cotton or vegetable fiber is
reduced to 80 per cent. The Payne Aldrich
tax of AS per cent. on blankets and quilts,
towels. dOilies, batting, mOps. washrags,
etc, is reduced to rs percent The Payne
Aldrich tax of 5000 on sheets is cut to
rs per cent. The Payne Aldrich duty on
shirts, sweaters and all articles Of cotton
underwear of every description is reduced
to 80 per cent. Similar reductions are
made on every item in the entire cotton
schedule.
DEMOCRATS OPPOSE TAFT CENSORSHIP.
An important measure pending before
Congress is House Resolution No. 500,
introduced by Congressman James, Lloyd,
of Missouri.
The measure is aimed at the action of
a. To aIr ,fnta ..,r
tai employees from organizing, and the still
civil service employees the right to petition
Congress. or even TO give members Of Con-
gress information until il has been censored
by their superiOrs,
The Constitution guarantees to every
citizen of the United States the right to
petition Congress.
The Lloyd resolution occupies the novel
role, therefore, Of having for its purpose
the restoration TO government employees
of rights they are entitled to under the
Constitution but which rights have been
taken away from them by the President in
his desperate efforts to prevent further
leakage of information injurious TO the
Republican party such as occurred in the
Ballinger case.
