Senator Sherman Sharply AS
sails Administration OF
Finances Of Country.
SHOWS HOW CUSTOMS
REVENUES HAVE FALLEN
Pointedly Criticises Methods Pro-
posed for Raising Additional In
come by Direct Taxation.

sharp attack upon the democratic
tariff law. upon the democratic admin
istration of the finances of the country
and upon the methods proposed by the
administration for raising more reve-
nue. from direct taxation was made in
the Senate today by Senator Sherman n
of Illinois.
Senator Sherman showed in detail
how the customs revenues of the coun-
try had fallen off under a democratic
tariff law, while the cost of living has
constantly increased.
He also showed now the democratic
SiXty-third Congress had appropria ted
s140,46 ,345.90 more to be expended for
the government than had the Sixty-second
Congress, when the republicans were
in power in the Senate and IN the White
House Yet. he said, the democrats
have charged the republicans with eX-
trava gance.
Where has this increase of $l40.oO0,-
600 gons9' asked Senator Sherman.
1T has not added any unusual strength
to the army or navy. The public deot
has not been correspondingly reduced
He said that a republican f1libuster in
the Senate had been the only thing,
during the last session of Congress,
which prevented the democrats from
spending s3O,00O,000 more on pork bar
rel projects.
Says South Escapes Burden.
Senator Sherman charged that the
democrats had so manipulated the tax
ing power of the government that the
north and the west bore the heavy
burden. while the south escaped
great part of the burden.
He pointed out that the democrats
now are planning 10 raise millions of
dollars of additional revenue, under
the excuse that the European war has
been responsible for the reduced state
of the Treasury and also that more
money is needed for national defense.
He said that the conversion of some or
the democrats to national defense was
significant in view of the fact that
they could go to the country with a
plea that further taxes were needed
for the defense of the nation.
Notwithstanding the state OF the
Treasury, he said. the democratic ad
ministration now is urging the passage
of government ship purchase bill
which will call for another $50,000,000.
Opposes Reducing Exemptions.
Senator Sherman declared himself
firmly against reducing the xemptionS
now provided in the income tax law,
as suggested by the administration. He
said that it would work great hardship
on many persons. He said that il fur
ther revenue is to be raised he would
rather see the enactment of federal
inheritance tax law. In Ordinary times.
he said. this form of taxation should
be left to the states to derive their
revenue.
This. however. is not an ordinary
time" said Senator Sherman. except
in the sense that a democratic admin
istration usually produces a deficit"
He attacked the proposed tax on
gasoline.
why not tax horses or steam pow
err asked Senator Sherman. "A stamp
tax on checks is most obnoxious. A

Plant Will Justify Expenditure.

The question as to whether the CEN
trail power plant will be worthless
asset in case the Great Falls project is
carried through has been brought up.
and the impression is that it can be
used as an auxiliary steam plant in
conjunction with the water-power de-
velopment.
According to Chairman Fitzgerald OF
the House appropriations committee.
this plant will save the government
enough to justify the expenditure
authorized before the Great Falls de-
velopment can be completed, and after
that it should be possible to utilize it
as an auxiliary plant.
In his address at the Cosmos Club
Mr.. Weller stated that the building of
an auxiliary steam plant in conjunc-
tion with the Great Falls Improvement
would be required. Mr.. Weller said to-
day that the General plant in Washing
ton, with only $500 horsepower capa-
city, could be utilized temporarily as
an auxiliary station, but it would have
to be increased to $4,000 horsepower
capacity to fit in with the ultimate de-
velopment of the Great Falls plant,
which is designed to have 100000
horsepower capacity.
1t Is estimated by Mr.. Weller that the
building of a steam auxiliary station at
Great Falls would cost about $4,000, 900.
The central plant in Washington, he
said, is designed in such way that to
enlarge 1t to $4,000 horsepower capacity
probably would cost in the neighbor
hood Of s5,000.000.

Errors Are Admitted.

Secretary Redfeld and other officials
of the Department of Commerce agreed
today with charges made by a special
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States that sta
tlstlcs of the foreign commerce of the
United States are not exactly what
they should be.
This is about dead right" smiled Mr.
Redfield. when shown a copy of the
report of the committee. The Secre-
tar!- went on to point out, however
that the report of the chamber of
commerce, declaring statistics of our
foreign commerce worthless" failed
to mention the fact that new procedure
for the collection of such statistics has
been established by the Treasury De-
partment and the Department of Com
merce. and will go into effect Feb
ruary l.
Secretary Redfeld freely admitted
that foreign trade statistics to date
have not been accurate, but expressed
the opinion that with the operation of
the new export procedure, providing
for shippers export declarations, ex-
port trade figures would be bettered.
Import figures. he said. automat atically
tend to correct themselves.
When it was pointed out that the
weekly statements of trade figures is
sued by the Department of Commerce
from data collected by the Treasury
Department were not in accord with
the final results tabulated by the De-
partment of Commerce, Secretary Red
field declared himself in favor of the
adjustment of the weekly report. He
instructed officials in charge of this
work to prepare an opinion as to why
the reports should be discontinued, and
tn From -
ton with Mr.. Redfield it seems most
proba BILE that the weekly reports will
be ordered discontinued by him upon
receiving the report.

ineffective when international disar-
mament became possibility at the end
of the war.
There was no enemy against whom to
prepare, she said, and no need of any
urgency. She urged that a commission
he appointed to determine whether
present expenditures on the army and
navy were securing efficiency, and also
TO find out who were urging greater
expenditures, and why.
Doubtless some of them are as clean
handed as can be-" she said. Doubt

Bidders on Central Power
Plant Criticise Method
Used by officials:
SAY THEY FAILED TO GET
REVISED SPECIFICATIONS
New Interest in Great Falls Project
Is Given by F. R. Weller's Dis
senting Views to Engineers.

With several Washington contractors
and number of outside firms up in
arms over the method followed by the
Treasury Department in awarding a
contract for the central power plant.
and with new interest given the Great
Falls project result of statemens
made at the Cosmos Club, before the
Washington Section. American Insti-
tute of Electrical Engineers, by Fran
els r. Weller. consulting engineer,
that the harnessing of the water power
is impracticable for economic reasons,
the whole question of the development
of power for government purposes is
likely to receive considerable attention
in Congress this session.
The award by the Treasury Depart
ment of a contract to the w. G. Corn
ing the central power plant, at a cost
of s1,397.4S4, has aroused the con-
tractors who submitted bids on segre-
gated parts of the specifications, who
claim that they were not furnished
with revised specifications given the
successful bidder.
1t develops that large number of
firms submitted segregated bids and
only three bid ON the construction as
whole. All of the amounts are said
to have been in excess of the appro-
priation available, although the total
of the segregated bids is understood to
have been something like 100000 less
than the lowest total bid.
The complaint oil the segregated bid
ders is that the Trea sury Department
furnished memorandum to the firms
submitting total bids, eliminating Ger
tain features of the original specifica-
tions and calling for supplemental bids
not to exceed 81 100000. 1t is charged
that the firms not furnished with the
revised specifications should also have
been. given the opportunity to submit
supplemental bids
Several Firms Protest.
Several firms are understood to have
made strong protests to the department.
and there have been hints of the mat
ter being carried to Congress The
amount authorized by Congress for the
central power plant is s150,000, but
only small portion Of the amount has
been actually appropriated. This is
understood to have been expended for
plans and other preliminary work.
One local firm, which was among the
segregated bidders. has filed a protest
with the department in which it points
out that a discrepancy in the figures
contained in the supplemental bids sub
Hitteu py george L. Kelly and the
Cornweli Company INDICATES that there
may have been confusion in the minds
of the companies as to omissions con-
templated in the revised specifications.
On several items the estimates of these
concerns in the supplemental bids are
said to show variations as high as
$4,000
1t could not be learned whether any
of the protesting companies intend to
oppose further appropriations for the
work on the ground that the contract
has been illegally executed. Accord
Electric Company. also one of the seq
regated bidders, the question as to the
further course of this company in the
matter is now before its legal depart
meat.
