REVENUE BILL MAY
HAVE PADDOCK CLAUSE
Would Make Proposed Taxes
Effective When Measure
Is Introduced
By the United Press


"A paddock clause" in the new revenue
bill to prevent escape of revenue while
the measure is under consideration was
recommended to the Ways and Means
Committee by Prof. W. f. Tausslg, chair
man of the tariff commission today.
: Under the paddock clause" taxes and
duties proposed in the new bill would
be made effective as soon as the bill Is
introduced.
AS soon as it becomes known that an
article may be taxed there is a rush
TO get it into the hands of the retailer
and consumer to avoid the tax, Taus-
sig explained. This takes place while
the revenue measure Is being considered
Under Taussig's plan taxes would not
actually be collected until final enact
ment of the bill, but dealers and import
ers would be required to give bond for
payment of taxes on all goods moved
from the time of the introduction of the
bill.
A fore tax by which commodities al
ready in channels of trade are taxed
is an alternative for the paddock
clause" but not as effective, Taussig
said.
Taussig also indicated that the Tariff
Commission in forthcoming report may
recommend cancellation of the arrange
ment of 1890. whereby this country re-
ceives preferential treatment in levying
import duties in Brazil
Under the arrangement this country
cancels duties on Brazil coffee and Bra
zl refunds duties on hour and other
commodities from this country.
I'VE have insisted on the open door in
China, but we have accepted preferential
treatment from Brazil" Taussig said.
I'VE must square our policies in prepa-
ration for international arrangements
after the war"
