The Tariff Bill in the Senate.

The tariff bill reported TO the Senate yesterday
by the Finance Committee is better measure than
the one which tile House Of Representatives passed
two months ago in that it is a more workmanlike
translation into law Of the Democratic party's tarl
pledges. In that respect the precedents of the re-
cent past have been violated, since the Senate
Finance Committee has usually taken the opposite
course and made the tariff bills which came over
from the House less responsive To the policy which
had been approved by the voters In 1894 the Sen
ate altered completely the character and purpose
OF the Wilson BILL and In 1909 it reversed the praise
worthy efforts of the House to carry out what the
plblic understood to be the Republican party's
promise OF downward revision.
The Senate committee has this year reduced the
House rates in a number Of schedules and stricken
from the House draft number Of blunders like
the provision allowing discount in duty goods
brought into our ports in American owned vessels.
The most beneficial changes Of all have been made
In the income tax section In which the limit Of tax
able income Is wisely reduced to $1,000 and e1emp-
tons Of 900 are allowed for a dependent wife
and for two more children. The burden Of the
income tax is thus much more equtably distributed
Two exceptions to the general rule of improve
ment deserve notice. The Senate has manifested a
most Liberal spirit in making all paintings and
sculptures less than fifty years old taxable at -
per cent, and in putting tax books printed In
foreign languages. These are mistaken attempts to
hamper the spread of taste and the growth OF
knowledge on the false assumption that paintings,
sculptures and books the exclusive luxures OF
the rich. The House ought to hold out to the last
against such exhibition Of Hunkerlsm.

Japan's Debt, and Others.

The confession of Baron TakahGshi, the Japanese
Finance Minister that the public debt of that coun-
try is source of apprehension is not surprising
though it seems to require some explanation
1t is often said that japan is on the verge oil
bankruptcy but we cannot regard that as true. for
her debt is, in proportion to her population, much
smaller than the debts of other nations. 1t aggre-
gates ST. 265 100000 That is S24 head Of her pop
ulation. But Italys is S7S head Great Britans
is $50 and Frances is $16O head.
Japan is not, of course as rich as these other
nations so that the smaller sum may burden her
almost as much as the larger sums burden them.
On the other hand the simpler life of most Of her
people enables them to get along on much less
than those Of other lands require. Taking all cir
cumstances into account must doubt If her bur-
den Of debt is really heavy as that Of many an
other land.
What makes it seem so heavy is the eXtraordi-
nary rate at which she is paying II off. For a ma
ton of j3.0O00OO TO pay off its debt at the rate Of
S100000,000 year is performance which may
well strain its financial powers: and ii may also
provoke the inquiry whether it is not more heroic
than discreet Any other nation would remit more
of its debt TO the future

Religion in the Guard.

Dispatches from Albany indicate that the report

ex-sergeant Of Company h, 47th Regiment Infantry,
to the effect that he had been Disseminated against

that the discrimination served bar to his

The question of religion in the states military

Endorsed by many of the most prominent members
of the Jewish community, who denounced as un-

can tbo management of the New Haven Railroad
appreciate what crawl" is its attempt to saduie

..The Interstate Commerce Commissions report
of the Stamford accident it says In official state

engineer was practically forced upon the New
Haven Railroad by the engineers of the company
Even II il were true that Doherty had been
practically forced upon the road by the engineers
the responsibility for the wreck would still rest
upon the shoulders of the management Ralroau

But it does not appear from the statements own

entered into between the road and its engineers
cutting down the amount Of experience required
from two years to one met with aS mich appro'u
apparently from the cOmpanys general manager
as it did from the men. Secondly, the agreement
stipuates that when engineers are assigned TO
temporary vacancies they shall continue TO HI

HUMAN HEADS AND PLUMAGE
Their Importation for Decorative
Purposes Raises Similar Questions.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The present effort to prevent the
importation OF plumage for millinery
purposes, the amendments proposed by
the feather dealers and the arguments
used in behalf of the traffic recall an
episode I'm the history Of the reign OF
King Oomtararah of the kingdom of
Tankosoko i'm Central Africa.
II happened during the reign OF this
wise and famous monarch that the brave
custom of decorating ones doorpost
with the heads OF those whom he had
slain in battle received a severe jolt
when certain rich members OF the tribe,
who were too cowardly or too lazy to
engage in head hunting themselves, be-
gan to purchase heads from assassins,
who adopted the profession as strictly
commercial occupation. The work OF
these assassins, while very satisfactory
to the head collectors, was looked upon
with disfavor by some radicals. who not
only insisted that the victims Of the
assassin were entitled to consideration,
but that the trophies themselves were
without rea! aesthetic value. The as
sassins and brokers in assassination pro-
tested against this effort to destroy an
African industry, but the agitation was
continued until the tribal council issued
an order forbidding the display of heads
taken within the limits of Tankosoko,
but permitting the importation OF for
eign heads for decorative purposes. II
was no business OF King Oomtararah, 1t
was held. TO interfere with the work OF
foreign assassins. especially as ii gave
employment to- many of his maJesty's
subjects I'm smoking and preparing the
heads for those who wished to display
their ability to pay the price demanded
by the assassins FOR their work.
This argument sufiiced for a time, and
then the radicals again broke loose, de-
claring that the head collectors of
Tankosoko had no moral right to pro-
mote assassination In any quarter of
the world-that ii didn't feel good to be
shared strangled and beheaded In Kill
manjaro any more than In Tankosoko,
and that while such selfish arguments
as their opponents advanced might do
in the United States of America they
were quite unworthy OF such enlight-
eminent as prevailed In Central Africa.
Their arguments seemed so unanswer-
able that the council prepared sweep
ing order forbidding the importation OF
any more heads to be nailed TO door
