Era in Fiscal Policy of the
Government.

Washington, D. c., April 2S.-A rush
OF speechmaking on the final day Of
the general debate on the tariff bill
made lively proceedings in the house.
Representative Rainey of Illinois
and Murdoch, leader of the progress
sives. and others of that party, and
some big guns of the republicans were
on the speaking program.
Rainey declared the bill represented
the dawn of new era in the govern
ment's fiscal policy, making lighter
the burdens of taxes upon consumers
and compelling great wealth to con-
tribute fair share toward paying the
governments expenses"
NO CASE OF REPEAL.
He pointed out that no government
that had adopted an income tax system
and given it fair trial had repealed
it. We make the tax highest upon
great incomes and lowest upon small
incomes, taxing 425,OO in all and eN-
pecting to collect from them at least

reach 1860 incomes that amount

100 incomes amounting to more than

ton of sG,OO0,OGO is expected.
TOLL QUESTION DEBATABLE.
Washington, d. c., April 2S.-The
president told callers today he consid-
cred the controversy with Great Brit
ain over the exemption of American
coastwtse srffbpfhfg ron paying tolls
at Panama a very debatable one. Will
son said he felt he should keep his
mind absolutely open until some ac-
tion was necessary, but indicated he
would have a very definite opinion
ready at the time for settlement.
While he has never given his views
on the subject for publication. the
opinion is general among his advisers
he did not approve exemption, for one
reason, at least, that it was a sub
sidy. The president has high hopes
for the success of the Bryan peace
plans. He believes the temper of
world opinion is in favor of peace.
The president said the suggestion had
been kindly received everywhere.
