much has been said about the proba-

is a strong sentiment in favor OF the
passage Of a levy on inheritances, due
to the fact that the income tax is not
adequate to produce sufficient revenue
About twenty years ago the Demo
Gratis passed an income tax law, but it
was declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court. The constitution has
been amended. and now the tax is con-
stitutional. The plan is to have all in
comes of over $4,000 levied upon. In
the minds of those who. on behalf of
the government. are turning covetous
eyes toward inheritances the tax upon
only $4,000 incomes and over will strike

The Inheritance Tax.
It is asserted that to take a: 1.-THE

the way these theorists argue: The in
heritance really belongs to no. one. since
the person who left it is dead and the
person to whom it is left has not yet
received it nor ever previously pos.
sessed it. Thus to take a portion Of it
away for Uncle Sans use would be

ers.
There has been u report from pref
ty substantial source that powerful in
terests are preparing to fight tho in

| number Of men who possess wealth

seem radical, but to the extreme free
traders Of the Democratic camp they
will seem slight.
Methods Of Handling Tariff.
Two modes of procedure in the ham
ding Of this big question have been
considered To prepare the tariff bill
as one general measure would have
been the ordinary plan, but to take up
the question schedule by schedule has
been advanced as the more desirable
way The revisionists feel pretty we'll
assured that if they launch into reduc-
ton of import levies with a dauntless
hand and present their proposition to
the senate in the form Of a general
bill their purpose will be defeated.
The Democratic majority in the senate
is perilously slim. 1t would take but
few Democrats in that body to find
fault with measure, step over to the
Republicans and thus destroy the bill.
By taking up the tariff schedule by
schedule most Of the items of reduction
can be put through. For instance.
Democrats who find fault with reduc
ton in a particular measure affecting
their district would be offset by Re-
publicans from other sections. OF
course. in case the piecemeaI system
is resorted to, there probably will be
some of the schedules defeated, and
the net result will be an uneven revi-
sion Of the whole tariff list.
The chances are that scant attention
will be given by the public to the daily
battles, harangues. debates and prob
lens carried out in the house over the
tariff. Whereas this subject is one in
which the whole country is vitality
interested. it has been worn 80 thor
oughly threadbare that the public has
little time to waste on further argu.
ment upon it. Just now all Mr.. Com
mon People wants is to have his serv.
ants at Washington get the matter dis
posed Of and then tell him what the
results are. The country will be deep
~ interested to know the results.

THE CAPITOL BUILDING.

much has been said recently about the
old seniority rule. Those compare
lively young. untried. but presumptuous,
new senators, have absolutely disre-
garded the old conyentonality by
pushing new men into. the important
positions and sidetracking certain. old.
warehouses; who in former times, would
have been given precedence.
The Case of: Senator Kern.
This. owerturning of convention, is
particularly we'll illustrated in. the
case of John w, Kern Of Indiana.

tually Hnknown. twenty Years ago.

Much speculation has been INDUCED
in as to- whether President Wilson. will
visit the capitol and give personal ad:
vice on legislative matters. President
Wilson some time ago expressed. bis
disposition toward adopting that prac.
tica, but since then he has. got into

and has learned he can have access te
the members before the sessions each
day without going to the. capitol.
Wilson Favors Currency Laws.
One measure that President Wilson
is known to favog particularly fol
| early passage is new law, OF possibly
several laws, on the currency. Leaders
of congress, however, have expressed

to take up the money laws question OF

if the currency question comes up al
the different theorists on the remodel
ing Of money affairs will cut loose ani
exploit their various beliefs to the dis
advantage of the tariff law.
The question Of granting or no
granting independence to the Philip
pine Islands is looked upon as per
emptory subject. The last four Demo
cratic platforms have contained plank

On the other hand. President Wilson
has signifed his intention of sendin,
