REPORT MADE ON UNDERWOOD

TARIFF BILL

Majority Members of House Ways and Means Committee Believe it Will be Benefit to Business.

GOVERNMENT IS NOT TO LOSE REVENUES

Estimates Given on the Various Changes in Schedules New Trade Conquests is Prediction Made.

(National Newa Association) WASHINGTON. April 22. That the American manufacturer, spurred by a competitive tariff to greater activity to retain control of his home market -will Increase his efficiency to such an extent that he will make new trade conquests abroad, is the prediction of the Democratic members of the house

ways and means committee whi'h framed the Underwood tariff bill. Their report signed by the fourteen Democratic members of the committee was presented to the house today. fThey estimate that for the fiscal year following the passage of the bill the receipts of the government will be less than the disbursement by $68,790,000. To meet this deficit the income tax has been framed and it is estimated the revenue from this tax will be $70,125,000. Estimates Are Made. According to the committee's estimates the customs revenues from the Underwood bill will be $37,896,000 less than the customs receipts from the Payne law in 1912. It is estimated that the chemical bill of the new bill will produce $12,985,000 as against $12,239,742. In the Payne law, the earthenware schedule $9,497,000 as against $11,156,221; metal schedule $15,549 000 as Against $17,346,221; wood schedule $898,000 as against $3,042,834; sugar schedule $40,196,000, as against $50,951,000;' tobacco schedule $26 002,000 as against $25,571,000; agricultural $21,567,000 as against $34,146,000; spirits, $20,987 000 as against $17,409,000; cotton. $11,257,000 as against $11,85,000; flax, hemp and jute, $15,977,000 as against $49,062,000; wool, $12,774,000 against $27,072,000; silk, $16,212,000 as against $13,695,000; pulp and paper $2,957,000 as against $4,886,000; sundries, $59,952,000 as against 126,931,000. Average Reductions. The average reductions in duties from the present Payne law to the Underwood bill by schedules are as follows : Chemicals from . 25 to 19 per cent; .earthenware 50 to 33; metals 34 to 20; wood, 12 to 3; sugar 48 to 35; agricultural 29 to 16; spirits 83.98 to 83.30; cotton 45 to 30; flax, 45 to 20; wool, 65 to 18; silks, 51 to 44; pulp and paper 21 to 11; increases tobacco 82 to S5; sundries, 24 to 33.

It is estimated the amount of dutia

ble importations under the bill would Increase in value from $759,209,915 to $798,956,000. The average duty under the Payne law is 40.12 per cent as

against an estimated avergae duty un

der the Underwood bill of 29.60 per

cent.

Under the income tax law it is estimated that 425,000 incomes, including

corporations as well as Individuals will be taxable. The general statement of the revenues, according to the calculations, will be derived from incomes which range from $25,000 to $100,000. Over 100 incomes taxable at one per cent and as well as one, two and three surtaxes are included in the reckoning. Income Tax Revenues. The income from the tax on these immense incomes will bring in all told $5,824,000. The committee estimates that 126,000 incomes between $4,000 and $5,000 will be subject to the one per cent tax, yielding $630,000. According to the estimates, however, the greatest number of taxable incomes will be in range of $5,000 and $10,000. They will yield to the government if the expectations of the committees calculators are borne out by the experience, $5,340,000. The income tax, says the committees report, furnishes an easily collected, easily adjusted method of collecting funds to operate the government and possesses the ability which a tariff system does not possess of being raised and lowere quickly to meet new revenue necessities without proving an embarrassment or disturbance to business. Will Be Satisfactory. "In the light of the experience of other countries," the report continued, "we recommend this income provision in the confident belief that as soon as this tax and its administrative machine becomes fairly understood by the people and adjusted by the country its operation and effects will meet

with as much general satisfaction as any tax law. A personal knowledge of the amount of taxes required of the people would more closely endllst their interest and active operation in all the

affairs of government and especially

with respect to revenues and expenses. The adoption of the proposed tax therefore, would assist in arousing and sustaining general public interest in

behalf of economy at all times."

The report calls attention to the in

crease in the cost of living since the Dingley tariff law went into effect and the development of Industrial combinations or trusts. The protective system of the last decade is blamed for these conditions and also for a too rapid diminution oi the natural resources of the country.

The tariff has been so high that in

dustry has been actually impaired, according to the report.

"There is another serious condition,'

the report points out, "which must be

directly attributed to the tariff, but

of which little is acutally. said. This

is . the experience of obsolete plants

and methods in many lines of industry, old machinery and out-of-date methods

being continued in operation years

after they have been practically elim

inated elsewhere. Information in the

hands of the committee strongly con

firms the belief that there is rarely a

high protected industry in which a considerable percentage of the plants

and machinery are not hopelessly be

hind the times. These conditions con

stitute one of the strongest arguments in favor of rectifying the conditions

complained of by applying the impetus

of moderate competition. The bill

seeks to accomplish this."

The committee, according to its dec

larations, framed the new tariff with two underlying facts in mind, sb follows:

To eliminate protection of profits

and to cut off the duties which enable industrial managers to exact a bonus for which no equivalent is rendered... To protect profits, says the committee, means necessarily to protect Inefficiency. "This is clearly illustrated," the report continues, "in a comparison of the wool and -iron and steel industry. Wool has had a specific duty worked out to an ad valorem basis amounting to a tax of nearly 90 per cent of the average value of all woolen goods imported into the United States and the duties imposed have remained prac

tically unchanged for forty years. Dur-1

ing that time the wool industry has made comparatively little progress in cheapening the cost of . this product and improving -its business methods. On the part of the iron and steel industry the tariff rate has been cut every time a tariff bill has been written. And yet the iron and steel industry has not languished.

Superintendent Recently Acquitted of Charges Brought by Girl. (National News Association) PITTSBURG, Pa., April 22. The school children's strike against the retention of S. L. Fleeter as superintendent of the Pitts- . burg public schools continued to spread today. Reports from practically every part of the city told of both boy and girl students refusing to re-enter the school buildings. The situation was admittedly serious. Superintendent Heeter last week was acquitted of charges made against him by Ethel I. Fisher, a former domestic in his home, but the trial caused much feeling against him and public demands have been made that he resign. Thirty boys at the Forbes school today refused to return to their

studies, and, carrying signs, some of which read: "Down with Heeter," "We don't want Heeter's "Heeter must go," paraded on the downtown streets. Other pupils at the Miller street s hool struck this morning. Additional students also walked out at the north side schools and paraded the streets. Included in the strikers were many girls who also paraded through the streets. Burned in Effigy. Superintendent Heeter last night was burned in effigy. Around the flaming straw stuffed figure of the pedagogue marched hooting, jeering boys with lighted torches. An unidentified boy striker was run down and killed by a street car in front of the Ralston school today during a demonstration. On the south side, mobs stood on the street corners and urged the children to strike and cheered other children who made demonstration against the superintendent of schools. By noon the school children's strike had become general and the strikers numbered thousands. At every school building policemen were stationed to prevent violence. At the sixth ward school over 500 pupils marched out, while at the fifth ward school between 400 and 500 went on strike. Superintendent Heeter refused to comment on the strike. "This is an organized and financed movement to down the school board and drive Heeter out," declared President Oliver of the board of education tbday. "To me it is unthinkable that a man in his position and responsibility would be guilty of such conduct as is rumored about him."

FELL FROM CHAIR.

. The malpractice suit of Earl A. Savage, aged 20, 324 North Twenty-second street, against Dr. Charles Marvel and Dr. Richard Schillinger charging the defendants with having improperly treated his leg which was broken January 27, 1912 was started in the Wayne circuit court today. A demand of $5,000 damage is made. The plaintiff broke his leg while coasting on the Glenn Miller hill on Main street, the femur bone of the limb being fractured. He was taken to the Reid Memorial hospital where he was treated by Dr. Marvel and Schillinger. According to the complaint sufficient weight was not applied to the limb to keep it in its proper place and as a result of the manner in which the limb was 6et he is permanently crippled.

According to the interrogatories filed and answered the plaintiff's leg became short by reason of the character of the fracture, and because of the absence of bony union or other causes but not by reason of want of proper treatment. When the plaintiff left the hospital on March 4, his leg was not abnormally crooked, according to the defendants. Motions were made by attorneys for the plaintiff to suppress depositions obtained from experts in the east by Byram Robbins. The court has been asked to suppress part of the testimony offered in the depositions. Statements were obtained from Rebecca Kenyon, who at the time was head surgical nurse at the Reid Memorial hospital. The jury was obtained late this afternoon.
