BLAME DEMOCRATS
FOR CUSTOMS LOSS
Republicans Call War Admins

Washington, Jan. 30. The Republi-
can Publicity Association, through its
president. Jonathan Bourne, jr, gave
out the following statement here to-
day:
THE European war j. the official
goat OF the Democratic party. Every
failure of the Administrations policies
is blamed TO the mighty convulsion
abroad. But the persistent argument
of the Department Of Commerce and
Democratic leaders that our declining
customs revenues result chiefly fror,
the wars curtaiment OF our importa-
tions is rebutted By the departments
own figures. The true reason il 10 be
found in increased imports Of duty
free goods. or goods paying minimum
rates Of duty under the Democratic
near-free-tradc tariff law. The Bureau
OF Foreign and Domestic Commerce re-
Gently published a statement that rev.
cnues for the fiscal year 1915 were 27ia
per cent below the 1914 revenues. But
imports were only 116 per cent below
the 1914 record. For the last few
months imports have steadily increased
IN volume, those for November. 1915,
being sl1.O0O,00O greater than for No
venber. 1912, under the Republican
tariff law
Things arc going from bad 10 worse.
For the last five or six weeks imports
have been on Democratic free trade
basis, and the average rate Of duty on
imports entered at the thirteen prin-
cipal customs districts Of this country
has been between and Q per cent. Not
withstanding these facts, the estimates
submitted by the various departments
Of the government those made public.

mated as being necessary 10 be ex-

Pork Would Grease Ways.

One member Of Congress humorously
observed tonight that II the President
would only agree to waste about $780,
100000 on preparedness in addition 20
what is really needed, so as to provide
all the necessary grease for the Con-
gressional ways. he could in perfect
safety abandon his stump tour right
now. for there would be not OFT Of
trouble in putting anything he wanted
to through with the pork, if all should
be included in one bill.
4 curious thing about the bills which
have been introduced so far Is that the
pacifsts and disarmament advocates
the Bryan followers and the peace-at-
any-pricc men are just as deslrous for
munitions plants in their districts as
the most ardent militarlsts. In iact'
they have taken the lead. while, so Iar
as a hurried inspection Of the big mass
Of bills would show, such men as Esrd-
ncr. Of Massachusetts,. Mann, OF III
nOis who may now be classed a. LOT
prcparedncss); Britten, of Illinois,
Kahn. Of California, and others VINO
believe in an adequate national dc
fence have not introduced any bllls
for their own districts.
But. headed by such opponents OF
preparedness as Sherwood and Taven-
ner, the pacifsts have lined up solidly
for the pork which may go with pre-
Laredness. General Sherwood IS very
frank in his bill. He only asks that the
plant be located in his district in Ohio.
ANY point within it. apparently, would
lie correct from a strategic standpoint.
The same position is taken by Repre-
sentative Cox. OF Indiana.

Representative Ware. Of Philadelphia,
who scorns the projects for munitions
plants out in the Middle West, has in
troduced one bill to establish another
iron foundry IN Philadelphia, another
bill for drydock to cost millions and
a third to establish one of the proposed
research laboratories in the Quaker
City.
Representative Dale. Of Brooklyn, has
introduced three bills precisely similar
TO those Of Mr. Ware. save that they
mention Brooklyn instead Of Philadel-
phia. Representative Humphreys, Of
Washington, has introduced a bill for
building ways at the Puget Sound yard
and drydock 20 cost millions. For
Norfolk. Va, Representative Holland
has asked a drydock, and also for other
improvements to make his yard more
important.
One Of the strangcst Of all the bills
is that for an armor plate factory IN
the city Of Dallas. Tex. This Is offered
~ Representative Summers, of Dallas,
who asks for 100000. Mr.. Summers
is given close race by Representative
Barkeley. who would put an armor
plant up in the Blue Grass region of
Kentucky.
Representative Bruckner wants an
a;mor plant put up in The Bronx, while
representative Carlin thinks that
alexandria, Va. would be an ideal site
for such a plant. Both have bills in
providing for plants at these locations.

Savannah Wants Two Plants

Clyde Tsvenner has introduced bills
for an armor plant and gun forging
works in his district. Two such plants
are desired by Representative Edwards,
Of Savannah
And so they 60 down list which
would be tiresome because Of its length,
the important point about each bill
being that it provides for the spending
of millions in the district Of the mem
Der of Congress who introduced it,.
Many of these men realize there is no
chance whatever Of passing their bills.
IN most cases they merely make a frank
bio for a little publicity in their home
town newspapers.
But present always, besides the
knowledge that the bill will get much
wanted publicity, is the hope that APP
propriations might be slipped through
in a big preparedness bill which will
need all the votes II can muster. They
have seen il work on public buildings,
rivers and harbors. pensions. claims
and what not. and they think there may
be chance in preparedness.

Two New Tax Laws.

In connection with the assessment OF
taxes, now having it's annual inning In
Maine towns and cities, two acts passed
by the last Legislature are coming into
prominence. One Is that which makes
the poll taxes due May LIST, and requires
that they shall be committed to the COL
lector before that date. The purpose Of
this 10 that the collector may get busy
and hustle those taxes in, and that less
may be Lost through "f1oaters," who are
in town and assessed April 1st, but drift
out of town before the collector gets his
commitment, generally somewhere from
two to four months later, according to
conditions. As is generally known, .
large portion of the taxes which are I'M
collected and lost are poll taxes. The
new law will make some additional
work for both assessors and collector.
Then there 10 the law which includes
In the property exempt from taxation all
sheep and swine, and neat cattle two
years old or under, though these must
be listed and valued ss before. The pur-
pose of this law was to encourage the
raising OF more stock. Whether It will
have this effect may be fair matter OF de-
bate, but one thing is evident, the assess.
ors of Paris don't think much OF the
law, even though for one of them indi-
vidually it exempts nearly $500 worth OF
animals. They say they can't see that It
will operate to increase the number OF
stock at all, and It takes out OF the tax
list this year in Paris classes Of property
which last year were valued at little
over $4,000. The taxes which would
have been assessed on this property will
of course be spread over the other prop
erty of the town.
