Worse Than the Wilson Bill.

Especial to The Bulletin)
Washington, June 6.-Rep6esentative
I'M has received from a prominent
WOODEN manufacturer in Connecticut a
letter, copy of which follows:
The proposed bill is so much worse
than the old Wilson bill that / feel
sure that if it is passed it will drive
the whole wooden business amounting
10 some four hundred millions of dol
Iars annually out of the country prac-
tically.
The Wilson bill made a good start
towards cleaning the wooden manufac-
turers out of business, and if continued
q Few years longer might have dona
1t Merry effectively. 1t did allow the
foreigners to flood our markets with
low priced goods, which We're not con-
sdned Tor a long time after the Ding
ley bill had become a law.
me Wilson bill gave us free raw
material and 80 per cent. ad valoren1
on our fine goods but the proposed
Underwood bin charges us 20 per cent.
ON our raw material and only gives us
81 per cent. on our goods. In order to
make it anywhere near equitable as
compared with the Wilson bill, we
should have, under the new tariff so
per cent. on our goods to equalize the
~ per cent. extra charged on che raw
material.
MIR. Underwood says that he ex
worth of goods imported, which let's
the cat out of the bag. In other words.
he wants forty million dollars worth OF
goods made abroad. instead of in this
country and that of course means the
stopping of OUR mills here, and our
Workmen will be idle and suffering and
the soup houses will have to be start
cd again, as Ill the time of the Wilson
bill.
The wooden mills are beginning to
fesl the effects of tariff reduction talk
very seriously. Our customers refuse
10 buy goods when there is a posi-
bility of purchasing them later, here or
abroad, at a less price. and it is go
ing 10 be very serious matter
"Ad vaiorem duties are never fully
collected. and foreign country en-
acts such duties where il is possible
10 use SPECIFIC duties. We have very
recent evidence in the WOODEN and 9TH
or lines OF serious underve luations,
and iheS are going on every day and

have only $500 year left. He can
not live On $500 year. Moreover.
It 10 utterly prsposterous to ask him
to pay an income tax amounting to 80
per cent OF his income. He protests
to the treasurer. He points out that
while he Sas on the farm. paying
taxes on his possessions in the form
OF real estate and personal property
he did not pay any such enormous tax
His tax in the old days, real estate
cattle and hogs and all, averaged
around 500 year, sometimes q little
more, metimes little less. He will
gladly pay the same tax on his wealth
in its new form. 1t IL unfair and I'M
just to tax him so heavily merely
because he has traded real estate for
gold. He simply can't afford to pay
$500 year for the privilege Of living
in town. Will the treasurer accept Il
check for 500 or. at the outside
1920? No. the treasurer will not-he
can not. He gets down the code ana
shows the retired farmer that the law
says he must pay the full tax on every
dollar of cash in his possession
The farmer pays the tax-once.
And then he proceeds to revise his
program, taking the tax ferret and
the tax on moneys and credits into
account this time. He inquiries among
his friends. Do they know OF any
place where a man with little money
will be welcomed and treated as we'll
as a man with little real estate :?
Yes. they know of such places. There
are lots OF them. And a little later
the local newspaper prints this item:

THE CASE OF JOHN JONES.

lSlOUH lily JOurFdl.1
Does the tax on money. enforced by
ally drive men and money out Of
Iowa?
II surely does.
! Take the case Of John Jones, the
worn out farmer who decides to sell
his money" AS things are at present
he would better rent the farm and
receive a moderate income from it,
paying thu moderate real estate tax
on fraction of its actual value. But
| Mr. Jones doesn't want to be bothered
with renters. He doesn't want to sec
his nice farm run down during their
occupancy Of It. And above all he
doesn't know what the tax ferret il
going to do to him. SO he sells out
his fat farm for $4,000 in cold cash
| 1t is his plan to deposit it In the bank
and draw 4 per cent interest on it.
That will give him an income OF
$1,000, upon which he can live COM
.fortably in the county seat, without
a care to disturb his sleep o. nights
The idea of paying interest on his cap
ital doesn't enter his calculations
Most of the men with money that he
knows do not pay interest on their
Icapital.
| The retiring farmer follows his pro-
gram as far as he can without the in
reference of the ferret. He sells
his place for cash and deposits It in
the bank. The bank is cheerfully
willing to pay the per cent interest
he had counted on. Enter the ferret
His keen eye has caught the real es-
tate transfer In the columns Of the
newspaper. He looks 1t up in the re-
corder's Office. Yes, it has been made
as reported. He looks for . mort
gage. There is none recorded. Thu
inference is that the farmer has re-
ceived cash for his farm. What die
he do with il? The ferret noses
around and finds 1t has been deposited
in the bank. The ferret lists tina
little bunch Of capital for taxation a
the regular rate. It is only q small
fraction of the cash showed away II
that bank, but the farmer has beeI
unfortunate in acquiring his capita
by route that could be traced b!
the tax sleuth. The retired farmer
lean not swear away that assessment
He has been caught with the goods
Other men can escape paying take
on their capital, but not he. So h
walks up to the treasurer's office t.

his money. How much will 1t be
