WASHINGTON, ID. G., Oct. 3
President Wilson began work today
with the prospect of signing before
nightfall the first great reform
measure of his administration and
the first Democratic tariff revision
passed in nearly score of years.
Democratic leaders of the House and
Senate had smoothed the way for
the last Legislative step for approval
of the bill. Clerks had prepared the
huge document for the presidents
signature and it remained only to
secure formal action Of the House
in receding from its cotton future tax
amendment.
Embraced in the legislation, which
has been pending since April s, is a
complete revision and, general re-
duction OF nearly all the import
duties levied by the government on
foreign merchandise. A new income
tax, that will strike every person
having net income above $4,000,
and important changes in customs
laws and internal revenue legisla-
ton, which will keep the treasury
department busy for many months
and which will have an important
bearing on all trade developments
of the country.
