THE TARIFF BILL REPORTED.

The tariff bill which is before the
body's Finance Committee, differs very
materially from the bin passed by the
House. It largely extends the free
list, but in two important particulars
it adds duties that the House neg
lected 10 settle. We refer TO lead and
zinc. Under this bill, as reported by
the Finance Committee, n duty OF 20
per cent is put upon lead, and duty
of 1919 per cent upon zinc. These
duties are lower than they ought to
be, but still they are an important
gain upon the provision of the House
bill as to these two metals.
The duty as TO sugar makes the duty
II cent per pound after March l,
1914, the present duty to hold till that
date; and after May l, 1916, sugar ls
to be on the free list.
Wool is made free of duty on and
after December l, 1913. This gives
the wool growers an opportunity to
market their present years clip. and
is that much better than the immediate
putting of wool upon the free list, as
proposed by the House. The present
tariff rate will hold till the date given
A copy of the bill, as changed by the
Senate Committee from the House bill
as passed, has been received by The
Tribune, and the figures given above
are taken therefrom. We assume thai

board Of education has made small re-
duction in the tax rate, although it will
get more money than last year from
the levy as made.
There is no surplus of money in the
State treasury, but rather that treasury
is facing shortage. There is no sur
plus in the city treasury, because of
the demands made upon it, There is
no surplus in the school district treas.
ury, because of the great demands
made upon it to educate all the chill

that we see large sums of useless mon
ey, and waste. The county levy should
not have been more than 4,5 mills the
present year at tho most. The fixing

GREATEST UNIVERSITY CLUB.

In no way can the graduates Of col.
leges and universities generally do bet
ter work than in providing homes where
the younger college graduates can be
lodged and helped, in the form Of clubs
where dues will be reasonable and
where helpful hands may be extended.
It IS fact that in tho great CONNER
cial centers there are largo numbers
Of the alumni Of tho various colleges
and universities who are solid pillars
OF business and society, and who, by
the means Of such clubs, can and would
extend needed and manly help TO the
graduates who are attempting to get a
start in life.
Some of this has been done and more
is proposed. For example, the Yale So
ciety in New York city proposes to put
up largest building in The world de-
voted to the use Of a single club. This
building is to be at the corner OF Van.

NO DECREASE IN TAXES.

The rate OF taxation upon the people
of this city will probably be on the
whole little above that of last year.
All the levies have been fixed now eX-
cept tho State levy, which last year was
rs mills on the dollar. When the Leg
islature adjourned last March, 1t was
understood that the State taxation
would have to be increased one-hah
mill over last year, TO the constitu-
tional limit, in order to meet tho mp
preparations of the Legislature; and
even then the estimated revenues would
be less than the assured expenditures.
