Food Taxes Cut And GreatInCOmes Taxed
 In New Tariff Bill
Bill Carrying Democratic Revision
 Is Reported In Congress Today
Incomes Expected to Equal Reduction In
 Tariff Taxes-Trust Products Largely Free List Income Tax Graduated From One to Four Per Cent

both.
 "In formulating this additional inn post" said Chairman Underwood in his report, "the attempt has been made to provide not only a source of revenue, but also a means of redress ing in some measure the unequal tax burdens which result from the prac- tice of passing the federal income en- nue duties This is a system of tax ation which inevitably throws the burden of supporting the government upon the shoulders of the consum- CTS. It corresponding1y exempts the men of larger income, whose con sumption of ordinary necessaries of life is subject to tariff taxation in far less aggregate degree than is that of the smaller income earners, who expend the greater proportion of their resources for the ordinary nec- essfties of life.''
 Speaking of the principle of taxa ton laid down and the graduated system proposed, Mir. Underwood de- clared:
 'fThe progressive principle already has been sustained Hoy the Supreme Court of the United States in the inheritance tax cases and there can be no doubt that the same principle applies to the income tax included in this bill and will be fully upheld should 1t ever be called into question. Owing to defects in personal property taxation, the larger incomes in the United States have for many years been able to escape with less than their share of the general burden of taxation and this inequfty will be, it is believed in part overcorne by the plan proposed.''
 The bin provides that all taxable persons shall be notified of the amount for which they are liable un- der the law on or before the f1rst day of June of each year and as- sessments be paid on or 1before June 30. For delay in making payments and ten days after notice, there shah be added the sum of five per cent on the amount of tax unpaid and inter est at the rate of one per cent a month from the time the tax fell due.
 The corporation tax provision, 1t is directed, shall be computed upon in come for the year ending December 31, 1913, and for each calendar year ther eafter. It is provided however, that corporations may designate the last day of any month as the day of the closing of the fiscal year and may have the tax computed on the basis of net income ending on it's des- ignated day. All labor, agricultural, horticultural, fraterna1, religious and mutual benefit societies are made ex- empt from this proposed tax.

UNDER H00D,S -CL. .AllSE AIMS
 TO WIDEN FOREIGN TRADE

Washington, ApF. 7-An attempt to widen the foreign market for Ameri- can goods and to encourage recipnoci- ty treaties with all foreign nations, is duced, today, in a clua9e empowering the President bo grant favors to any nation thaIt gives mutual concessions to the United States.
 The clause is as follows:
 That for the purpose Of readjusting g the present duties on imports into the United States and at the same time to encourage the expert trade of this country the President of the United States is authorized and em- powered to negotiate trade agreem ts with foreign nations wherein mutual concessions are made looking toward freer trade relations and further re- ciprca1 expansion of trade and com merce.''
 Such reciprocity agreements, under the new law, would have to be ap- proved by Congress before becoming ing the bill, Chairman Underwood de cIared that under the Payne law the United States had attempted to expand our commerce by force.
 'tWe went to the nations of the world with the demand that they stand and deliver or we would punish then'' he said. Many years ago, this system Of expanding trade and commerce was abandoned by the enlightened nations. The only true course that can be pur- sued to expand OUT foreign trade along rational lines is through mu- tuaI concessions that may prove bene- ficia1 to both of the contracting par ties, free from coercion
 Another concession that would be made by the new bill is designed to encourage American shipping. A con cession of five per cent. would be
 made in all tariff rates on goods built ships owned wholly by American built ships owned wholly by Amecican citizens. Restrictions upon Philippine imports especially are removed.

HEAVY CUTS ON FOODS AND
 TRUST GOODS

Washington, April 7.-RemovaI of all tariff from many articles of food and clothing; broad reductions in the rates of duty on all necessaries of life; an increase of tariff on many luxur- ies; and new income tax, that would touch the pocket of every American citizen whose net income exceeds $4,- 900, are the striking features of the new democratic tariff revision bill, presented today to the house.
 Sugar would be free of duty in 1916 the bill proposing an immediate 25 per cent. reduction and the removal of the remaining duty in 1916.
 Raw steel would be made free at once with correspondingly heavy re- duction in the tariff on all woolen goods
 All these other articles are put on the free list, namely: Meats, flour, bread, boots and shoes, lumber, coal. harness, saddIery, iron ore, milk and cream, potatoes, salt, swine, corn. cornmeal, cotton bagging, agricultural implements, leather, wood pulp, bibles, printing paper not worth more than 2 r. cents per pound, typewriters, sew ing machines, typesetting machines, cash registers, steel rails, fence wire, cotton ties, nails, hoop and band iron, fish, sulphur, soda, tanning materials. acetic and sulphuric acids, borax, lumber products, including broom handles, clapboardS, hubs for wheels. posts, Iaths, pickets, slaves, shingles.
 While wheat flour is put on the free list, duty of 10 percent is i'm posd against countries which levy duty on American flour. This will exclude flouor from Canada and many other countries.
 These principal items are taken from the free list and taxed
 Rough and uncut diamonds and precious stones, furs, coal tar pro- ducts, ten per cent; volatile oils, 20 per cent; spices, from one cent to two cents per pound.
 The new rates are estimated to re- duce the customs revenues approxi- mateIy $8O,OOO,OOO a year. This is ex- tax.
 Endorsed by President Wilson the m 1easure represents the efforts of the President and the House tariff mak- CTS to carry into effect democratic pledges of downward revision and of concessions to the American corr
