Steel corporation, in which Mr.. Smith
placed estimates on the value OF Me

Hill said he had looked over the Smith

leading that he refused to read 1t In

Mr.. Hill insisted that despite the
tremendous visible supply ores are com
paratively scarce. The Mesabi de-

70 Add Several Millions to the Rev
enue of the Government.
Washington, Feb. a. - Departing
radically from their previous plans for
tariff reduction Democrats of the
house ways and means committee
officially accepted a revision 'of the
chemical schedule of the Payne-Ald-
rich law"
The new bill is expected by the
committee to increase governmental
revenue from $12,500,0O0 to s16,2o0, 900
annually.
1t is the first bill reported by the
Democrats that has failed to cut down
Uncle Sans income.
1t is also departure from the sys'
tenn adopted by the Democrats OF max
ing all duties ad valorem. The chem
ical rates are specific, for the reason
the committee says, that 1t Is ex
tremely difficult to ascertain the ex
act value of chemical products neces
sary to an ad valorem rate.
The chemical bill is also the first
tariff measure in the preparation oi
which the ways and means commit
tee has had the assistance of the
tariff board.
For this reason the Democrats be

They said that their plan was te
increase the duties on such luxurie'
as perfumes and imported toilet soaps
and to decrease those on such neces
saries as house paint and medicines
Two-thirds of all the articles were ol
the free list In the Payne law, but tn,
measure makes nearly all of then
dutiable. Thus, the Democrats de
clare, the revenues will be increased
without granting manufacturers /;
tariff wall behind which to build III
enormous profits.
The measure shows an average de
crease from 25 per cent ad valoren
to an equivalent of 16 per cent az
valorem.
The important changes are: Hous'
paints, from so per cent to 20 pc
cent.
Habit forming drugs, duties doubled
Raw materials used In chewing gun
and cola" drinks, materially in
creased.
Foreign oils used In perfumes, from
free list to 20 per cent.
Medicinal preparations, cut from Q
to Is per cent.
Dyes and colors, reduced one-half.
Spices, average duty made 10 pc
cent
The measure will be submitted b

Excuse me. SIR" continued the

Because that colored man is my
