RAISING REVENUE
PURPOSE OF REVISION
Chairman Underwood, Of Ways and
Means Committee, Reiterates
Statement.

A reiteration by Chairman Underwood,
of the House Ways and Means Commit
tee, which yesterday concluded its hear
ings on the cotton schedule, that 'the
primary purpose of a committee In re-
vising the tariff was to raise revenue,
and that protection to American manu-
facturers was only incidental" marked
the hearing. Charles NJ. Howard. a print
cloth manufacturer, Of North Adams,
Mass. told the committee he could not
understand its attitude, and that he
would like to be enlightened.
Even II the reductions We make in
the tariff said Underwood, do not bene-
fit the consumer by lowering the prices
which he has to pay for the necessities
of life. we expect to benefit-him indi-
reetly by increasing the revenues neces-
sary for paying the expenses Of the gov
ernment. We do not intend to write
any rates into the bill which do not
provide for a reasonable amount of inn
portations and consequent revenue to
the government"
Howard disputed the findings of the
tariff board in relation to the cost Of
producing print cloth here and abroad
The board found that in some cases this
process cost the American manufacturers
less than it did the British manufac-
turers. Howard declared this was not
SO, and urged 5 per cent preferential
in favor of manufacturers here.
Arthur II. Low. OF Fitchburg, Mass,
a manufacturer of gingham. said his IN
dustry lost $500 last year. He appealed
for . continuance Of high duties.

Some OF the candle holders are of rare

The question is often asked. Does the

MISSILE an expression as sunrise or
sunset. In both cases the expression
is at variance with scientific fact Me-

Warm air charged with moisture
