WASHINGTON LETTER

An immediate cut of $500, 00O,-
900 in the cost of living-eventually
slash of half a billion! That
is what the Democratic leaders of
the House believe the income tax will
do for the American people. The
relief promised by the Democratic
party for the terrible pressure of
the costs of the necessities of life
seems to be at hand.
Only experience will reveal the
full benefit to the public of the in
come tax. The annual saving over
the counters of the nations grocery
stores, butcher shops and clothing
emporiums is expected ultimately
to reach $500, 900, 900. Some of
the more sanguine regard even this
estimate as too conservative. The
saving may reach $500, 900, 600, OF
even more.
The estimate is reached in this
way:
From British income tax ex-
perience tables, the experts figure
that the annual revenue to be derived
from income taxation under the
terms of the pending bill will be
from $50 900, 900 to 800, 900, 900.
In writing the new tariff rates the
Ways and Means Committee has
taken cognizance of this probable
revenue and has Topped OF duties
on necessities which under the pre-
sent Payne-Aldrich law aggregate
$50, 900, 900 annually. This $780,
600, 600, now paid by the people in
the cost of living, is to be paid out
of the income tax revenue.
But every dollar saved in tariff
amounts to five or six dollars III the
final retail prices paid by the con
sumer. This is because the many
middlemen who handle an article
from the stage of raw material TO
that of finished product each assess
es as profit a certain percentage Of
the value of the commodity he hand
les. But in assessing this profit he
includes the tariff in the value Of
the commodity. Thus the people
pay not only the tariff but also pay
profits on the tariff. Every dollar
of increased price for the raw mater
ial assessed by the tariff becomes
five or six dollars by the time it
reaches the consumer.
Representative Cordell Hull. a
member of the Ways and Means
Committee who drew the income
tax provision, prophetically secs
the day when all government re-
venue will be derived from Just
two principal forms of direct taxa
tion--the income and the inner itance
tax.
THE rates in the pending bill
are but tentative" he said. They
can and will be changed by succeed
ing congresses.
THE measure is designed to fit
in with the budget system of estimat-
ing government expenses. The day
will come when government espen-
ses will be appropriated for in an
annual budget bill. On the basis
of this the amount of revenue need
ed by the government for the sue
ceeding year will be estimated IN
order to raise Just the revenue need
ed, Congress will set the income
tax to fit the case. There will be
few customs duties. There will be,
however, an inheritance tax to re-
lieve some of the tax burden on in
comes. "
The estimates of the Ways and
Means Committee show wildly how
wealth has concentrated III this
country. Although incomes Of as
low as $4,000 per year will be sub
iect to taxation, yet less than one
per cent of our total population is
affected by the bill.

M'CUMBER HOME
FROM Washington

Sen. Porter J. McCumber Of wah-
peton. senior United States senator
from North Dakota, is spending the
day in Fargo at the Metropole hotel
on his return from Washington.
Senator McCumber met a large
number of his many friends in the
city today and discussed the tariff and
currency bill features with them. The
senator, being a staunch republican, Is
somewhat opposed to both the demo-
cratic measures and predicts close
teimes as the result of President Will
sons currency bill though not the
hard times experienced during the last
Cleveland administration. .,
Concerning the tariff, he is Of the
opinion that many Of the little fellows
may be driven out of business though
some of the bigger business men may
be able to weather the storm through.
The senator will be in North Dako-
ia for the matter of a week, returning
to his duties in the senate at the con-
clusion of that time. He says that the
present controversy over" the currency
bill will consume all the time up un-
til the opening Of the regular short
session in December. ~ 2

PICKING lip

The cool weather Of the past few
days has revived the bowling game in
Fargo. The alleys at the Nestor have
been kept busy with the boys TIMBER
ing up and getting pack their "strik-
ing eye 1t is. expected that there
Will be more interest in the leagues
this year than ever and at the Nestor
last night several Of last years CAP
tains were talking matters over. Joe
Schannach, of baseball fame, was
there n says that he will have a.
team of printers in the league that
will make the other team average over
100 a man.
Fargo has the alleys and the BOWL
ers and if the men will turn out and
keep in practice it ought to be an easy
matter to send a team to the national
tournament that would bring honors
to the city. There is no city in the
northwest the size of Fargo where
bowling is more popular and where
the men take more active interest in
the game. The leagues will be organ
izing the last Of the month and at that
time full details will be gone over n
arrangements made for the seasons

ed to immediate needs. The future
course Of the market will depend
largely on attitude of Canadian hold
ers and domestic cash demand.
Corr has sustained another decline
on continued commission house liquid
alton and pronounced selling of De-
cember. On the extreme decline it was
apparent that the pit crowd had over
sold themselves and a little buying
of May resulted in a quick recovery.
Outside buying Of an important char
acter should come in evidence on all
further declines.
Oats have weakened with other
grains, closing one-half cent lower for
the day. Much the same conditions
obtained in oats as in corn. We do not
see any permanent good in oats.
