Presented to the Entire Ways
and Means Committee
for First Time
OPPOSITION
FROM REPUBLICANS
And Victor Murdock, Progressive, AL
so Entered His Protest-Radical
Readjustment of the Entire Fiscal
Policy of the Nation Contemplated.

Z WASHINGTON, April 22.-with
the entire ways and means committee
in session today for the first time.
Chairman Underwood laid before it
the Democratic tariff revision bin.
After receiving a vigorous opposi-
tion from the six Republican members

proved by strict party vote and re-
ported to the House to be called NJ
for general debate tomorrow.
The committee recommend a radical
readiustment of the entire fiscal policy
of the nation. They propose to make
an income tax the means of accurate
~ adjusting the funds to be raised by
taxation to correspond with necessities
for government expenditures.
The Democrats outlining their poll
cy in the preparation of the bill an
nounced an absolute disregard for the
cost -of-produetion theory. as regula-
tory of tariff rates, and declared that
in the pending bin they had attempt
ed:
ITO eliminate protection Of profits
and to cut off duties which enabled in
dustrial managers to exact bonus for
which no equivalent is rendered.
To introduce in every line Of in
+. dustry a competitive tariff basis, pro-
viding for a substantial amount of
importation to the end that no con
cern shall be able TO feel that it has
a monopoly of the home market gain
ed other than through the fact that
it is able TO furnish goods at lower
prices than others
A detailed table was presented show
ing by schedules the total revenue Sc
cured under the Payne law for 1912
and the estimated revenue under the
new bill for u months period. The
table showed that in 1912, S759 209, ,9l5
worth of import paid 1904 ,5O7 ,O35 in
duties at an equivalent average ad
valorem rate of 40l2 per cent. 1t is
estimated that under the new bill ST.
O00,999, 900 worth of Imports would
pay 1866, 701. 900 in duties at an av-
erage ad valorem rate Of % so per
cent Thus, the new bill would raise
81 SOC, 600 less than the present law.
This difference is expected to be
made up through the collection Of an
income tax. An elaborate argument
s made to show that the new tariff
sill reduce the cost of living.
