ploye Of the company. He seemed to
have love and an immense capacity for

elimination of all articles on the tariff
free list with imposition Of minimum
duty of 10 per cent and a horizontal
increase of 10 per cent. on all now tax
aple articles, together with increases
of taxes on the internal revenue and
new taxes which reach to the remote
department of business and household
lines are proposed to make up year.
ly income of $1,000 100000.
Increases on postage rates Include
newspapers which it is proposed to
charge on the parcel post zone system.
Publishers who are hurrying to Wash
ington and some Of those who confer
red today with the Ways and Means
committee members said such a line
of taxation as proposed on them prac-
tically will force many out Of business.
Mailing charges for papers Of average
circulation It was said would be In
creased many thousands Of dollars
yearly.
