are getting attention from the tariff
makers, Every time the tariff is re-
vised there Is more or less excitement
caused by ladies' hose.
These articles of commerce provoked
bitter controversies In 1909, when Re-
publicans revamped the tariff and the
fight is on again. Present indications
are that the rates on cotton hose will
be slashed. The present rate Is 70 per
cent. The committee has practically
decided that 40 per cent is enough

Reed stated that there is nothing in the
bill which gives the government a first
Hen on the money II deposits in the re-
gional banks, and that the bill takes
from the government the right to con-
serve the gold which il receives. Mr.. I'm
termyer agreed to these objections only
to the extent that he favored the segre-
cation Of the gold reserves in the Treas
ury. He added a criticism OF the failure
Of the bin to provide for the issuance
Gf currency with which the government
might purchase gold.
Among the suggestions made by Mr..
Untermyer was one to make the ma
uonal bank requirements and restric-
tions more liberal and compel State
banks that join the proposed system to
meet the same requirements as apply to
Lational banks.
When Mr.. Untermyer proposed that the
reserve banks should have broader pow
ers as to the character of the CONNER
cial paper they might discount and add
cd that the definition of commercial, as
contained in the bill. is erroneous, he
stirred up a hornets nest. Senator
Hitchcock indicated by his questions that
he feared political influences could De

reserve bank boards and the Federal re-

to elicit the opinion that the acceptance
system, which Mr.. Untermyer proposed

against the interest OF the ultimate con-
sumner.
Mr.. Untermyer will resume before the
committee today.

PLANS FOR COLLECTION
OF INCOME TAX MADE

Commissioner of Internal Revenue Os-
horne has made a careful study Of the
tentative provisions Of the income tax
hill In order to lay the ground work Of
his plans for administering the new law.
The tax will be collected by the income
tax division of the Bureau of Internal
Revenue. which is to be evolved by en-
larging the present corporation tax di-
vision.
Officials of the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau estimate that between a09 and 3OO
additional employees will be required for
the income tax provision. The Demo
Gratis in Congress have seen to IL care
fully that these employees shall not be
recruited from the civil service ranks.
They are to be appointed with the ap-
proval of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury." More than 1900 applications for
these positions already are on file with
Commissioner Osborne.
The number of positions will depend
upon the exemption point which the bill.
as finally passed. fixes. The House made
the minimum taxable income $l.GD0. the
Senate lowered il to $500, thereby in
Creasing the number of employees who
will be needed to make the collections.

have the effect of continuing all trade
agreements for a period OF four months.
This period would give the administra-

This proposed joint resolution will not
continue the Payne-Aldrich tariff rates,
but will act as notice to foreign coun-
tries that pending the negotiations of
new agreements, the retaliatory provi-
sions of the new law will not be imposed
against those who indicate their desire
to enter into new trade arrangements.
The tariff cOnferees have voted TO put
a IS per cent duty on tea containers on
-ckages OF less than five pounds. Rep
resentative Underwood says that this
uty will add SlOOc00 to the customs
revenue receipts. Opponents of the tax
on cheap tea containers claim that the
tariff duty will benefit the American Can
Company, which is under investigation
by TIE Department of Justice for being
a monopoly in violation of the antitrust
law.

President Wilson returned to the Presi-

Answer MuIhnn Statements.

The Garrett Committee OF the House,
investigating the alleged activities of
lobbyists. has received word from
Representative George W. Fairchild of
New York that he will be in Washing
ton at the earliest possible date to
testify as to the truth of statements
made by Col Mulhall.
Up to September 20 the Garrett
Committee had heard nothing from
Mr.. Fairchild. This caused comment,
because he was the only one of the
members of the House mentioned by
Mulhan who had not appeared to
answer his statements. On September
20 the committee received a letter in
which Mr.. Fairchild said that he had
just learned of Mulhslrs allegations.
most of which he branded as ''rankly
unjust and unwarranted."
On the receipt of this letter Mr..
Garrett wired MT. Fairchild that the
hearings closed Friday night. but that
he would be heard today IL he ap-
peared. The answer of Mr.. Fairchild
was that he had been ILL., but would
come to Washington at the earliest
possible moment and hoped he would
not be too late.
