Underwood leadership.

At the outset, the real wisdom OF the
majority members of the House was
displayed in selecting its leader; in the
wake of this wise step has flown results
which have surpassed most sangune cx-
pectations. Under the Cannon regime
the Craftsmanship Of the Ways and
Means Committee carried with it the
floor leadership of the majority but the
speaker appointed all committees, and
was the real head of his party The
readjustment of the speakers powers
beginning in the Sixty-frst Congress
eliminated at the Democratic caucus OF
January 10, 1911. in the determination
to shift the appointment of commit
tees from the speaker to the Ways and
Means Committee. The result of this
caucus was TO place on Oscar w. I'M
derwood. the chairman OF the Ways and
Means Committee. Il greater RESPONSE
bility than had heretofore dcvolved upon
any other member of the House, not
excepting the speaker, for while the
committees were to be elected by the
House, the election was but confrma-
ton of the work of the Ways and
Means Committee, acting i'll its capacity
OF committee on committees.
This new and democratic change in
the rules of the House has been opera
tive during the first and second sessions
of the Sixty-second Congress, and I'm
der the sagacious management of Oscar
w. Underwood the democratic majority
has worked with remarkable celebrity,
absolute equanimity, and direct eff
fectiveness during both sessions. The
legislative results have been so marked
as to arouse universal interest, and
have pointed out Underwood as the
safest and ablest legislator that Con
gress has developed in many years. So
true is this, as measured by legislative
results, that all of the 1910 election
promises of the party, as above out
lined, have already been fulfilled; the
House rules have been libernlzed the
bill compelling the publication of cam
paign expenses has been approved; the
constitutional amendment providing for
the popular election of United States
senator's has been passed by the House
marked progress has been made in the
economical handling of national expen-
ditures, and an uncxampled beginning
has been made in the revision of The
tariff downward to a revenue basis.
The Edinburgh Re0ie7U, of October
1911, reviewing the work of the first SEES
sion of this Congress, says:
oscar w. Underwood, of Ala
bama, in the Ways and Means Com
mittee and on the floor of the
House had shown great
discretion in the revision of the
wooden and cotton schedules.
The Democratic Party has increased
its strength in the Senate; and it
ended the session with no obvious
divisions within its ranks and with
out having done anything to forfeit
the confidence that the country be-
slowed on it at the elections of
1910"

Farmers Free List Bill.

The adoption of the Canadian reel
procity agreement involved the necessity
OF further immediate legislative action
removing duties on like imports from
other countries, in order that injustice
might not be done our agricultural pro-
duccrs, who, in the Canadian reciprocity
agreement, lost the protection on Ger
tain Of their products without the recip-
rocal removal of protective duties from
articles needed in sustaining their lives
and industries. To offset this condition
and properly to care for the agricul-
tural masses, the Ways and Means Com
mittcc submitted to the House immc-
diately after the passage of the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement the so-called
Farmers Free List Bill" The re-
suits which would have followed the
enactment of the free list bill, meas
uring the great saving to the people
which would have been realized, are set
forth in this table:

colleagues on the Ways and Means
Committee favored an income-tax law,
but did not report such measure for
the following reasons: OD The Supreme
Court has declared a general income
tax law unconstitutional for lack of
power to apportion it and provision has
been made whereby the States are now
considering the acceptance or rejection
of proposed sixteenth amendment to
the Constitution giving to Congress the
undisputed authority to impose such a
general tax; and (2) following the de-
cision of the Supreme Court unfolding
the constitutionality of the existing cor
poration-tax law the committee has con-
ceived the idea of extending the provi-
sions of this law in the manner pro-
posed in the Underwood bill, seeking to
secure i'll this way the practical results
of an income-taX law without violating
the ruling of the Supreme Court in re-
jecting the income-tax law of 1894.
The proposed income-tax amendment
has been favorably voted upon by %
States, leaving only the votes of s States
yet required for its approval. The
enactment of the Underwood bill will
serve the valuable purpose of meeting
the immediate revenue requirements and
at the same time prepare the public mind
for fuller appreciation of the justice
and desirability of an income-tax law.

Excise Bill.

This bill provides for the extension of
the corporation-tax law SO as to in
clude individuals, firms, and co-part-
nerships. 1t is estimated that il will pro-
duce more revenue than was sacrificed
by placing sugar on the free list, and
will accomplish further the very dcsira-
Bile purpose of transferring tax burdens
from those less able to carry them to the
shoulders of the wealthy, who have here
tofore escaped from a proper share of
taxation for the support of the Gov
eminent.
Under a system of national taxation
based wholly on consumption, wealth
necessarily escapes its fair share of the
burden of supporting the Government,
which gives wealth the necessary protec-
On the other hand, when he purchases
for himself and family the necessities
of life, the man of meager earnings con-
tributes out of his daily wage to the
support of the Government. When a
citizen pays taxes according to his earn
ings, from whatever source, he gives
support to his Government, and receives
protection from it in more equitable
manner than under any other plan of
taxation yet devised. If his earnings
increase his taxes increase, and Justly
so, for he is better able to pay increased
taxes. If his gains decrease, SO do his
taxes. and fortunately for him, because
he is less able to pay them. A tax on
earnings is also preferable to taxes on
bought and sold commodities in that the
rate can be raised or lowered to meet
the exigencies of revenue requirements
without consequent disturbance of prices.
The burden of the present indirect
taxation falls upon people having in
comes of less than $1,000. The large
percentage of the customs taxes is paid
by people whose incomes do not exceed
that amount This excise bill aims to
distribute more Justly the tax burden
by shifting it to the shoulders of those
of larger earnings.

duties on food products, the neccssaric
of life
In his speech defending this agree
mcnt made in the House of Reprcscn
tatiyes, April q, 1911, Mr.. Underwood
said:
"This bill marks the end of an
era in the economic life Of the Ma
ton. Why? Not that the iminc-
diatc results will be far-rcaching,
but because it takes onc step in tho
right direction, step away from
the exclusive protective policy, a
step toward an honest competitive
policy. The advocates of the Re
publican policy of protection have
always heretofore insisted that
reciprocal trade agreements should
only be made 10 affect non-com-
peting products.
This bill embraces in its terms
competitive products of both nations
and recognizes the Democratic posi-
ton that no tariff law is either war
ranted or just that protects the prof
its of the producer and destroys
honest competition"

Metals.

A very thorough revision was made
of the metal schedule by the Underwood
bill of this session; it reduced the ad
valorem rate of duty from 1886 per
cent on imports OF 1910 to 2242 per
cent. This indicates saving to Ameri-
can consumers in the course of Il year
of more than eighty millions of dollars,
causing at the same time loss to the
Treasury of only about four and three
quarter millions OF dollars
A survey of the iron and steel indus
try shows convincingly that it has
reached a position of such strength and
independence that the industry does not
need the helping hand of the govern
ment in order to stand in competition
with foreign countries. This desirable
state of affairs has been reached as a
result of progressive improvements in
| industrial methods coincident with steady
reductions of the tariff, which have i'm
pressed upon steel producers the neces-
sity of shaping their methods in accord
ancc with the recent inventions and proc
esses and with the principles of effec-
tive business organization. Under these
conditions the Ways and Means Com
mittee feels warranted in recommending
that the duties on metals and manufac-
lures thereof be placed upon a distinct
" revenue OASIS, Wnile denn1tely ad-
herring to the object of securing from
the Treasury as large an income as can
be obtained from this schedule consis-
tent with conserving the general inter
ests of the consumers. (See House
Report, No. 200, Seixty-second Con-
gress, LIST SESSION.
In his speech delivered on the Metal
Bill in the House of Representatives on
January 20, 1912, Mr.. Underwood said
'I do not believe to-day that as
a manufacturer OF pig iron and you
as a producer of steel rails have
any more right to have the Gov
eminent protect your profits than
has the banker, the broker, or the
baker to have the Government pro-
tect his profits If you are going to
protect profits, why do you not pro-
tect the. wages of labor as we'll as
the profits of the manufacturer? I
believe that the only function of
levying taxes at the customs house
is to levy them for the necessary
revenue for the Government and /
believe that in this bill the Demo-
cratic Committee on. WAYS and
/ Means have cut out the protection
! of profits and presented to the
