REPORT ADVERSELY Oil METALJViEASURE Senate Finance Committee Opposes the Democratic Revision Plan.

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, April 5. Senator Penrose, chairman of the senate committee on finance today reported adversely from that committee the Underwood bill which recently passed the house revising and reducing the tariff duties of the metal schedule. The report is the Republican response to the Democratic measure and was endorsed by all of the Republican members of the committee except Senator Lafollette who was absent and unpaired when the vote was taken. The report declares that the enactment of the measure would be ill-advised and most unfortunate legislation. "It would," says the report, "reduce the measure of protection below the- margin of safety and tend to destroy one of our most Important Industries, opening wide our domestic markets to foreign steel and Iron proVducti; It Is not only unprotected but also falls as a revenue measure, as it would result In a deficit for which no provision la made It Is not based upon open hearings or upon any investigation of manufacturing conditions, labor cost, nor other facts necessary to be Renown and It Is not responsive to any. need or necessity for a general revision of the rates of the present , schedule. What Reports Say. Thetreport points out that the existlng law has been In operation for less 'than thaee years, and that It was passed after careful consideration of manufacturing conditions, cost of labor and.otherxnaterial facts following long and. exhaustive investigations whereas the 'ways and means committee which presented the Underwood bill acted without hearings. The committee then asserts that at the hearings which the inance committee had upon it, representatives of 25 different concerns from IS different state appeared 'and protested against all or a part of its previsions. The report contends that the PayneAldrlch bill reduced the duties materially and that there has been an increase of 43 per cent in the importa- , tlon of iron and steel products under it, thus making the tariff competitive. The existing law, it says, only covers the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad. The report especially condemns the ad valorem features of the Underwood measure and declares that practically every civilized nation has adopted specific duties, which have been recommended by every secretary of the treasury with the exception of one since the days of Secretary Hamilton down to MacVelgh. Specllc duties, the report says are easy of application and

not subject to fluctuation as the market rises or falls and that they can be relied upon in times of depresion to protect the home manufacturers against the unfair competition, because the duty does not decrease as the price decreases. The present measure, the report says, goes to extremes In the matter of application of ad valorem duties. Further objection is made to the bill because it Is not based upon any report from the tariff board, which board it highly commends. , Continuing the report says: "To enact this bill, making such revision would be a .breach of faith a violation of what was tantamount to a guaranty to the people that the tariff act of 1909 would not be disturbed except upon information reported to congress by the tariff board."

Tax on Bachotordom. During the period under William III. when bachelordom was taxed peers had to pay more dearly than commoners for the 'privilege of single bliss. The yearly tax levied on bachelors ranged from 12 lis. in the case of dukes and archbishops down to 1 shilling in the case of those scheduled as "other persons. Furthermore, a duke was compelled to pay 50 when he "married. 30 when his eldest son was born, 25 when every younger son was born, 30 when his eldest son was married, 50 when his wife was buried and 30 when his eldest son was buried. And the other members of the peerage had to pay similar taxes graduated according to their rank. London Chronicle.
