UNDERWOOD
 OUTLINES NEW LAW
no

Some idea of what the new tariff bill that went into effect Friday eve ming is may be gained by the state ment made by Oscar W. Underwood. leader of the majority in the House of Representatives, when he urged that the report of the conference committee be approved. Mir. Underwood's state ment. in part, was as follows:
 The rates Of the tariff bill as it comes back to the House for approval, propose a lower taxation than any tar if bill in the last three-quarters of a century.
 The bill is lower in it's rates than either the bill that passed the House or the bill that passed the Senate, for the House conferees accepted all but three or four of the reductions made by the Senate, while the Senate re- coded from more than half of its in- .creases.
 ll4o lai III bltlr N ltlA llS 70 p-l NtlA average. is almost as low as the fa- nous Walker tarin. which had low du- ties on liquor and tobacco Besides its great reductions on articles of gen eral use, this bill places many of the necessities Of life on the free list, or gives them very low rates of tariff.
 "In contrast with the average tariff of twenty-siX per cent ad valorem in the Underwood Simmons bill, the exist ing Payne law has an average of more than 40 Der cent and the Wilson bill passed by the last Democratic admin istration, had an average of more than thirty-nine per cent.
 The revenues under the new law will yield a surplus of $1S,O0O,OOO over estimated government expenditures in 1915. The treasury experts figures show that the total government reve- nue in 1915 will be $1.O26,OOO,OOO, ex- penditures. $1OOS. .OOO,O00, surplus. S1S,- 100000"

WILLIS NOTIFIED
 OF NEW TARIFF

The new Democratic tariff went into effect Friday night at 9:O9, Washing ton time, when President Woodrow Wilson affixed his signature to the document. All goods subject to i'm port duties coming under the changed schedules, will be affected by the new tariff, if the vessels on which they are shipped entered a port in any col lectOr's district, with intent to dis charge such goods, after the hour named. Goods entering such district at that time even though they may not have reached the port of destination will be affected by the change Goods having arrived before that date but not having been entered until after that date will be subject to the old schedule. Until the new tariff sched- ule arrives collectors will assess under the old schedule and adjust according to the new rate when the new tariff schedule is received.
 In connection with the new tariff, the government will call a general con ference of it's leading treasury officials to be held in New York City within a few weeks. There will be a meeting of the collectors beginning early in November, while there will be a con ference of the leading deputies on Oc- tober 13 and IA.
 J. R. Willis, collector of customs for the district of Alaska, received cable advices Saturday from the department informing him that copies of the new tariff had been mailed to him and that he was to assess duties at the old rates until the new tariff schedules arrived. when the accounts should be adjusted and refunds made to those entitled to 1 the benefits of a reduced rate. ! It is the opinion of Collector Willis that there will be a large falling off l in the customs receipts for the district 1 of Alaska owing to coal being on the 1 free list It is estimated that the re ceipts will drop from $75,OOO or $S5, i 900 per year to $25,OOO or $3O.OOO each year, unless the reductions on other lines will result in greatly stimulating l imports in those lines. There will be great reductions also on liquor i'm ports, but Collector Willis says that he cannot at this time estimate the re suits that will obtain trough sueI re auctions.
 Collector Willis expects that tn, new tariff schedules Will arrive within
 the next ten days. Il the meantims he is collecting duties in the ame ol
 way.
 The new tariff schedule will likely affect shipping to this port in other ways. The C. p. R. will pro5atly send vessels here loaded with coal iron
 British Columbia mines and possibly
 lumber from British Columbia mills
