TO STAMP BILL AS 6UNGLiftG.
House Republicans to Hold Caucus on
Revenue Measure.

Washington. Sept. ls.-The repub-
licans of the house will meet in confer
ence tonight 10 discuss the democratic
war revenue bill. They will condemn
the measure on the ground that II the
democrats had handled public expendi-
lures properly there would have been
no necessity for emergency revenue
legislation
Whether the republicans will decide
to vote against the bill in q body has
not been determined. That they will
berate the democrats for supposed ex-
travagance is assured.
Chairman Underwood of the ways
and means committee today will sub
nit to the democratic members of that
organization tentative draft of the
revenue bill. The bill comprises all Of
t features Of schedule A of the war
revenue act of 1898. together with the
specific levies on beer, wines. gasolene,
and tobacco licenses embodied in the
resolution passed by the democratic
caucus on Tuesday.
Whether schedule A of the old law
will be enacted in its entirety will be
decided today. This schedule, which
provides taxes on all forms of negoti-
able paper, yielded in 1899 approx
naately $3.50 900.
1t is estimated by the secretary of the
treasury that in view of the growth Of
business in the country and the increase
in population the same taxes would
produce about 100000 a year.
Chairman Underwood does not agree
with this estimate. He claims that it is
| too high. Mr.. Underwood points out
that a large part of the yield OF seized
| ule A. in 1909 came from taxes imposed
| These exchanges are now closed and
probably will remain closed indefinite
| ~. thus cutting off revenue from that
source for the present.
4 This may force the committee to in :
! crease rates ON certain other forms OF
| negotiable paper.
Opposition has developed to levvine
! a tax on checks on the ground that this
| particular form Of tax would be gen
| orally annoying. This tax would pro-
/ duce from 100000 to 100000. a
| year. The idea will be discarded il
| the committee finds that It can get the
! needed revenues from stamp taxes or
4 other forms of negotiable paper with

SIOUX CITY SHOWS GAIN.
Late Directory Gives q Population Of
1882.

Sioux City, Sept. 1s.-On the basis OF
figures returned by the agents OF the
Polk Directory Company, who have Just
completed the first canvass for the 1914
directory which is to be issued lin No
vember, Sioux City has population OF
1882.
The figure is based on the fact that
the directory men have gathered 43,4s1
names for the forthcoming book. The
multiple used in deriving the popula-
ton is two and one-fourth. said A. j.
Stenseth. the local manager OF the
company.
On the basis OF this multiple the
population gain in the past year has
been 1902, as compared to last years
directory.
However, the first canvass is always
followed by another one in which veri-
fication Of information is obtained. de-
ficiencies supplied and correction of
errors accomplished. In this second
canvass Mr. Stenseth pointed out it was
likely there would be gains in some sec
tons and losses In others. but that the
figures obtained in the first canvass
would not differ materially from those
given out with the completion Of the
book The variation might amount to
zoo games Mr.. Stenseth said.

wines, tho tax of cents q gallon on

1t is Mr.. Underwood's expectation
that the democratic members of the
ways and means committee will COM

tomorrow The measure will be intro
duced on Saturday and the republican
members of the committee will be in
vited officially to inspect 1t on Mon
