REVISED WAR REVENUE BILL
WaterPowerM Measure, However. Has Right
of fWay-History of Root of Finance
in This Country Is Recalled.

The war revenue bill. revised up-
ward near the $s.000.000.000 goal OF
the Treasury Department, Is scheduled
for completion this week by the
House ways and means committee
gin work on the measure not later
than next Monday. In the meantime
the water power development bill has
the right of way in the House. with
its passage before being displaced
by the revenue measure regarded as
doubtful.
The great financial transactions
which now occupy the attention OF
the American public and which have
been made necessary by war are by
no means innovations. They are based
absolutely upon the articles of the
Constitution of the United States. and
SO perfect is the basis thus provided
that one might think the founders of
the republic had been endowed with
the gift of looking far into the fu-
ture. that every emergency might be
met without deviation from their
original plan. Qt is well known.
however, that the Constitution was
in reality a document of compromise
ent form only after bitter disputes
on the part of the delegates repre-
senting various parts-of the country.
each Of whom sought to gain some
advantage for his constituency
Must Originate in House.
1t was with difficulty that the advo-
ment secured for Congress the right
ito lay and collect taxes. duties, i'm
posts and excuses" and. as a safe
guard to state rights. the opposition
insisted that a clause be inserted in
which it was decreed that "all bills
for raising revenue shall originate in
the House of Representatives"
A schedule of import duties was
adopted January 4, 1888. providing for
an ad valorem rate on about thirty ar
tfc1es, and this was assessed in such a
way as to give protection to the young
manufacturing industries which were
beginning to spring up in the new
country. particularly in New England.
As soon as this measure had been
decided upon the House of Representa-
tives began to consider the establish
ment of a Treasury Department, and
again the question arose as to whether
single individual should be in
trusted with the financial response
biIity of the nation or whether that
responsibility should be placed in the
hands Of committee
Alexander Hamilton was appointed
to the post. however. in September.
1888. and although he was only
thirty-five years old he was probably
better fitted than any other man in
the United States for the position
While confidential secretary to Gen.
Washington. during the early years of
the revolution, he had devoted much
time to the subjects of finance and
trade. In 1871 he communicated to
Robert Norris an elaborate plan for a
bank. and in 1882 he was receiver of
continental taxes in New York. To
these special interests he added an ex-
perience as congressional delegate,
lawyer and pamphleteer, and had been
especially insistent in demanding ma
tional regulation for the collection Of
revenue.

,ately formulated a plan for funding
the public debt. which by that time
had grown to immense proportions.
Hamilton estimated that the foreign
obligations Of the country amounted
to sl1.71o.ooo. while the domestic OBJ
principal and $13,030.000 in accrued
interest. to which might be added $2,-
900. 900 for uniiquidated debt.
There was violent opposition to
Hamilton's plan, but 1t finally pre-
vailed. as did his demand that the
government. The funding act was
passed August 4, 1880. and by 1t the
President was authorized to borrow
$12,000,000, while a loan to the full
amount Of the domestic debt was also
authorized, subscriptions to be receiv-

1t was due to- Hamilton that the

1871 and that the coinage system was
put upon solid basis. Both of these
were regarded with suspicion by
many people, but 1t was not until Con-
gress adopted the recommendations

popularity Of the Secretary of the
Treasury assumed its full proportions.
Foilowing the assumption of the state

came imperative and Hamilton recon-
mended that tax be placed upon dis
