TARIFF HASTE WRONG,

Democratic Revision Methods
Condemned by Manufacturers
at Committee Hearing.
JOKES LEAVEM TESTIMONY

ical Industry Protests.
From The Tribune Bureau.1

Washington, Jan. 6-With general pro-
tests from witnesses against the hurried
nature of the revision and the short time
allotted for the testimony of interested in
dustries. the Ways and Means Committee
began to-day its consideration of new
tariff bill. More than n dozen witnesses
were heard on Schedule A. relating to
chemicals, oils and paints.
This schedule produced n revenue OF
approximately S5,0OO,OOO in 1911. and af-
fects wage workers drawing sl97. 900 900
annually, but the Democratic tariff re-
visers have determined not TO give more
than two days to the hearings on this
section of the Payne law.
The general discussion ranged from
poker chips to sponges and from caustic
potash to laundry soap. The burden OF
the arguments was the maintenance Of
the present tariff. instead OF making the
changes proposed by the Democrats in
the chemical tariff revision bill that was
vetoed by the President last year. The
tinkering was leavened by joking between
Chairman Underwood and his associates
and the score or more OF witnesses.

Chemical Industry Disturbed.

Speaking for the Manufacturing Chem
lists Association of the United States.
Henry Howard, chairman of the execu-
tive committee. told the Ways and
Means Committee that two days were in
adequate to present properly the data re-
lsting to this important schedule. He
said:
The association feels strongly that no
committee or body of the size of the
Ways and Means Committee can. as n
whole. conduct an investigation which is
so essentially technical as an investiga-
ton of the chemical industry. The size Of
the committee necessarily prohibits a
scientific inquiry and results in the intro
duction of collateral issues foreign to the
topic of discussion. Furthermore. two
days. which is the maximum amount OF
time assigned by the committee to Sched-
ule A, is hardly more than sufficient for
presenting and cataloguing the many
briefs from those who want to be heard.

a necessity of life and contended that to
put the burden Of tariff on the raw ma

Pictures a Gigantic Glue Trust.

Inc spectre OF gigantic BIue uuSt,
whose tentacles reached out over Europe
and into South America. was raised by
Charles Delaney, president of the Ma
tional Association Of Glue and Gelatine
Manufacturers. Mr.. Delaney pictured
the glue trust" as doing its work with
the approval of the various European
governments.
He said that any material change IN
the present conditions would seriously
weaken the industry, and agreed there

output Of 100000 worth Of glue, and
Mr.. Delaney suggested a tariff OF % per
cent ad valorem on CLUES, 3j per cent on
cent above that price.
| The committee sharply examined sew

profits. Mr. Delaney did not give any
round figures at first. but later explained
that he had a side business which CAV.

SENATOR TAKES A HARD RAP
OUT OF MORGAN & co.
Washington, Sept. Gin COM
menting on the withdrawal of Nor
gan & Co. from active interest in the
Hartford & New Haven Railroad,
Senator Thomas, Colorado,- makes
this statement:
at has been a notorious and-if
less powerful combination had been
the culprit-a disgraceful fact, that
Morgan & Co. are directly response
BILE for the horrible conditions of this
company's affairs.
'As directors in control of its
management this firm has increased
the company's obligations from
about $50, 100000 to about $500, 000,-
600. AS bankers this firm has under |
written these increase, that is to- say,
it has bought from itself at its own
price and sold them to the public at
its own rate, pocketing millions by
the process.
Nov that the orange is squeezed
dry, and with another holacust added |
to the many which has given this |
road bad pre-eminence in the work |
of public slaughter, this firm retires
from further identification with its |
management, with the impression,
perhaps, that the engineers may be
punished as the persons solely re-
sponsible. Hyenas flee from their |
feast on corpses under similar cir
cumstances."

In this way the doctors all over the

THE TAXING MANIA.
Successful Men May Seek Ways OF

A graduated income tax on corpor.

than %one-fourth Of the production in

ing scheme to be suggested for con-
sideration at the approaching demo-
cratic caucus Of the senate. The new
proposal Is offered as a substitute for
the suggestion that there be an excise
tax on products made Of tobacco.
It the taxing mania is followed to

on which some of the members Of
congress would like to see heavier
burdens placed. have lately received
a hint from the lobby investigators
that thei appeals to congress for
protection and their efforts to place
facts before the legislators are not
very welcome. They have been con
fused with lobbyists, and naturally
alton without an opportunity to be

Aside from the encouragement to
successful men involved in these
