The Difficulty with the Revenue.

The Underwood law was enacted as a tariff
for revenue measure only. On the showing made
by Mr. McAdoo's statement published yesterday
morning-surely no less friendly than authorize
tve-it would seem that the law might more. aptly
be termed one imposing tariff for bankruptcy
only"
1t will be difficult for the Democrats to main
tain, in the face of Mr.. McAdoo's figures that
anything except their own provisions are respon-
sible for the admitted failure of the Underwood
tariff act and the income act to provide the neces-
sary revenues for administering the affairs of the
nation. For just about the time that Mr.. McAdoo
was putting the finishing touches upon his state
ment, declaring that the deficit for the next fiscal
year would total SII2So6,3o4 the Bureau OF
Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the Depart
ment of Commerce, was announcing that imports
for October reached new high record-S334638,-
57S. Obviously falling imports due to the Euro
pean war no longer can be blamed for the failure
Of the Underwood law to provide necessary reve-
nue.
The Underwood law was expected by its fra
mers to bring sufficient revenue to the govern
ment, with sugar the free list. Part of the duty
on sugar was retained until May /, 1916, not be-
cause the revenue was deemed necessary. but in
order to give the sugar industry ample opportunity
10 readjust itself. When the miscaled war reve-
nue. bill' was enacted, it was emergency measure
to compensate for revenues lost through the dis
placement of foreign trade and the falling off of
imports The revenues estimated from these two

the war tax" extended, according to Mr.. McAdoo,
will total S5oooo,ooo The SII2oooooo deficit esti-

Tense plan or S75oooyooo. the amount by which it
may be inferred according to Mr. McAdoo the

The failure of Mr.. McAdoo to recognize this
fact in proposing plans for meeting the deficit is
characteristic of the administrations treatment Of
