revision and reduction may be under-
taken.
In other words the tariff policy Of
the administration is to cut off the
dogs tail a little at a time so that
II won't hurt so much.
1t has been agreed by the President
and Chairman Underwood, of the
ways and means committee, that the
vexed question of whether there
shall be tariff revision schedule by
schedule. in a number of bills. or
whether the whole program shall be
put into one bill, is left to the Demo-
cratic caucus to decide. This is con-
sidered as wholly a question of party
policy. and while the moderate re-
visionists on the ways and means
committee had practically decided on
a single bill, there is so much protest
among Democratic members against
such a program, with its possibilities
of log-rolling and disaster, that the
entire membership of the majority
party is to be given vote in de-
gliding the question.
Insurgency within the Democratic
come tax question. There is a dis
position on the psrt of Underwood
and other conservative leaders to i'm
pose a fiat tax of | or 2 per cent on
all incomes in excess of $4,000 or
$4,000 a year Advocates of this plan
defend it on the ground that the sole
purpose of either tariff or an in
come tax should be to provide reve-
nue., and that a discriminating In
come tax is as unjust as discrimin-
ating tariff tax. Other Democrats,
however, are demanding that there
shall be a graduated income tan,
which will be very small upon small
incomes and much larger on larger
incomes. In this way, they declare
the governments revenue will be de-
rived from those who are best able
to pay it. Theodore Roosevelt several
years ago recommended graduated
income and inheritance taxes. TO re-
duce swollen fortunes and many
Democrats share this view.

-
Woodrow Wilson is the third Pres.-
dent since the war who has faced
tariff revision as the first crisis in
his administration. Grover Cleveland
ouarreled with his party over the
tariff, and split The party so badly
that defeat followed William H.
Taft let Congress have its own way
with the tariff. approved the revision
in which he had taken no hand, and
ruined his party.
The new President is adopting diff
ferent tactics from either of his I'M
fortunate predecessors. Cleveland
waited to interfere in tariff making
until the situation was beyond his
control: Taft refused TO make sug-
gestions or recommendations, and at
the last was faced with having to
either sign or veto g, revision which
was reputation of the party
promises; Wilson is taking a hand in
revision from the beginning and pro-
poses to try to direct the tariff policy
of his party from the outset, and to
dictate particular tariffs as they are
arrived at.
While every effort Is being made to
hold the Democratic majority in both
houses together on a tariff program
it is freely admitted on all sides
that the situation promises lot Of
friction. The patronage club is to be
used to prevent party splits, but even
that may not avail.
Already there is much talk of the
possibility of a second tariff revision
before the end of the present admin
istration. The President does NOT
propose, If it can be avoided. to have
his administration wrecked by a
tariff panic or hard times following
drastic tariff revision at the outset.
To prevent this it is not at all i'm
probable that the revision to be be-
gun next month will be a very moder-
ate one, not likely to bring about
business disturbances, and that later,
after business and industry have adj
iusted themselves to the reduced

GREAT RUSH FOR
SEATS FOR LYRIC
FLOOD BEENFIT

The reservation of seats this morn
ing at the Fox Lyric for the big flood
benefit Sunday opened with a whfrl-
wind rush and it behooves anyone
wishing to see the big show to order
their tickets at once. The entire lower
floor and the first six rows in the bal
cony are reserved and the price of the
tickets is fifty cents. The boxes are
placed at seventy five cents.
tfIt looks now said Manager Shields
this morning E'that it will be necessary
to give a matinee to accommodate all
nounced until the entire reserved Sec
ton is sold out for the night show
I'VE have SO many acts promised
and booked that we really can give
two performances without using the
same talent. Mr.. Fox wants TO make
this a memorable occasion for he has
just invaded Bridgeport and a substan-
tial check for the flood sufferers is

+ New Haven wishes to offer four of
it's best professionals who are home
off the road at the present time, Miss
Mol1ie Wood, the Irish violinist, Cap
Ian and Cross, dancers, Florence Milett
protege of Nine. Franz Moltke and
Gertte Donovan, character singer.
They we're a big factor at the Fox
benefit in New Haven and they have
been added to the long list of acts for
Sunday night.
Every act on the bill will be new
to Bridgeport and there will about
twenty five according. to the present
estimate. A big amalgamated orches-
ira of fifty pieces has been promised
by the musicians union and they will
give the show a real send off.
Mayor Wilson and the entire press
Of the city are interested in making
this the greatest of all benefits and
the one regret now seems to be that
the theatre will be totally inadequate
to hold the crowds even with a mat
inee extra.
The film makers have promised Mr..
Fox a series of motion pictures of the
floods and the cyclone at Omaha
which will be appropriate. No seats
ordered by phone will be held after
Thursday
