THE SUGAR TARIFF REDUCED
To Become Effective on the First of
Next March.

A Washington dispatch of last Sat
urday says:
The majority members of the SEN
ate finance committee decided yes
terday that all the schedules of the
new tariff bill except sugar and wool
should become effective Immediately
after the enactment of the measure
into a law.
Sugar, with the approval of the
democratic caucus. will be subject
to the Payne-Aldrich rates until
March /, 1911. The committee ten
tatiyely agreed on date for the
wool schedule, but did not announce
II because of a promise to confer with
Senators Walsh and Thomas who
could not be reached yesterday.
Revenue From Sweet Wines.
Additional revenue was provided
for by the committee when it was
decided, in view of the revenue tax
on brandies used for fortifying sweet
wines, to levy revenue tax of 25
per cent ad valorem on what are
known as spurious wines is,
wines made from pumice and forti-
fed with chemicals. Containers of
such wines must bear a label show
ing what materials enter into their
products Just how much revenue
will be derived from this, the COM
mittee could not estimate because
the tax will probably eurtail the Q e
put considerably.
Another change proposed relates
70 the clause prohibiting the impor-
tation OF conyiet-made goods. This
was so amended as to read that such
goods will be excluded from conn-
.ries that do not prohibit convict la
hor Originally the clause read
from countries that did not restrict"
convict labor,
Chairman Simmons said he ex-
peeted the general debate on the bill
to begin a week from Monday. He
will rport the measure probably next
Wednesday and is of the opinion the
debate will be limited to five weeks.
Cotton Futures.
An amendment to the bill fixing a
stamp tax on cotton sales sold for
future delivery. the members of the
committee believe will not bring in
considerable revenue. In view Of
the preliminary design of the amend
ment to abolish stock exchange
gambling in cotton futures, the gen
eral opinion is it will not do SO. but
considerably eurtail it. In that case
the government will derive some
revenue, but this cannot be estimat-
ed.
Should the stamp tax on cotton
future deals fail to curtail this form
OF stock gambling, Simmons said,
the revenue to the government will
he enormous

DISCUSSES INDUSTRIAL AFFAIRS
Rev. Il. l.. Spaulding Makes Present
Democratic Effort the Subject of
Last Sundays Sermon.

Rev. e. l.. Spaulding, Baptist pas
ter, spoke to a large crowd at the
Sunday evening service, his subject
being "The New Freedom. 1t was
the privilege of those present to lis
ten to a very interesting discourse
upon the problems attaching to the
claiming of religious and political
freedom by the present day condi-
tions. Incidentally, Rev. Spaulding
emphasized their tremendous cost
to the citizenship of the country. He
sroke of the wage and child labor
conditions and general country wide
affairs that tend to suppress indi-
vldual effort among people. The
freedom we once enjoyed in this
country, he thinks has been lost
through the rise of monopolistic COM
bines
Rev. spaulding eulogized Presi-
dent Wilson and spoke aprrovingly
of his efforts to get for the common
people their just deserts, agreeing
with him unqualifiedly in principle
but slightly differing with him In re-
gard to corrective modes to be in
voked to bring about the much need
ed and desired changes.
In this connection he said the set
ting Alright of present day conditions
demand no less degree of self sac
rifice than did the crises of ear
lier times, with this difference
formerly the dissensions were correct
ed by bloodshed, while the fairness
and intelligence of all parties con-
cerned in this modern industrial and
economics conflict make possible and
demands the settlement of all diff
ferences by peaceful methods. The
problems are none the less perplex-
ing. according to the Baptist pastor
and must be met as unflinchingly as
did the veterans face the lines
of cannon during civil war times
that great principle might be
honorated. N

Traesdale said.
The suit is being fought out in

it being necessary for the govern
ment to secure a definition of con-
fiicting vested rights co-incident with
the right to use the Lake Tahoe wa
tiers.
The approximate cost of the
condemnation proceedings for the
control of the Tahoe outlet will be
100000, the chief item being the
reimbursement of the vested lake
rights. This suit win be pressed and
the present season should beyond
doubt witness its elimination.
In regard TO the adjudication OF
the Truckee settlers rights, a suit
involving the rights of so many IS
necessarily a long and laborious one.
That no one should be done injus-
tice was The underlying incentive of
the postponement OF the date to
Auvnst 1st as the time for the defen-
dants to the suit to plead their cases.
There is a great amount OF detail in
connection with both these suits, but
az matters now stand no time will be
lost in forcing the issues and obtain
ing for this project a complete and
clear definition Of its rights TO the
waters of the Truekee watershed.
