mit tea, result Ih the collection of a certain
percentage mora revenue In the Importation
of the same articles than was collected
under the act of 1887 .
"The extent of the undervaluations prao
tlctd under existing .law Is variously esti
mated at from 10 to 28 per cent of the reve
nue collection. . If any considerable portion of
thia practice, la corrected by the provisions

revenue for 1910. baaed upon the Importation
of 19OT. I3tf,(W,000. I have assumed that the
Importation of 1907 Is the proper basis for
comparison.- We should not lose sight of
the fact that- there' Will be approximately
4,000,000 people more in the United States
to be provided for IP 1910 than In 1907, and
If other conditions remain the same there
will be a patural increase from thia cause.
The committee believe the extent of the
Importations and resulting revenue will be
greater 'In islo than In 1907, because of Im
proved business conditions..' .

the country and reduced stocks of Im
ported merchandise," said Mr. Aldrtch.
"The character of the legislation proposed
furnishes no reason for accelerated Imports,
as there are practically no rates above the
rae Imposed by the act of 1897. It must
be conceded that the era of prosperity,
which commenced the first part of March,
Is 'Ikely to continue uninterruptedly ' with
the enactment of wise tariff legislation.
"Those who do not believe In this con
tinued march of Improvement have little
knowledge of the recuperative power of the,
American people and fall to measure cor
rectly the force of the spirit of confidence
which will accompany a -guarantee of. se
curity and Industrial peace.
Estimate Are Conservative.
"The estimates which I have made of
Increased revenues growing out of this
change In conditions are most conservative.
If the same rate of Increase which has
obtained since the first of March should
be applied to the eighth month of the
financial year 1810, not . covered py the
period of Improvement In this year, we
hould then have an Increase over
the receipt Tor the present fiscal
year ay '$296,OOO.OOn-of t54.401.M5. mak
ing a total of $349,401,000. without tak
ing Into account the additional sources of
revenues provided for.
"For the year 1911 I have estimated aft
increase or revenues of 4o,000,000 and a
reduction of expenditure of $35,000,000, a
consequent surplus of $30,000,000. This sur
plus would certainly continue under nor
mal business conditions. There ran be no
reasonable question of the sufficiency
of the senate bill to provide adequate
revenue. r
If the statement I have submitted are
approximately correct, the Independent
question arises:
"In what way Is the treasury to take
care of the deficiencies I have Indicated
for the present and the following fiscal
yearT .
"The treasury has today. Including the
$74.68.276.89 which it Is entitled to receive
for reimbursement of canal expenditures',
practically $100,000,000 of available aurplu
over a necessary working balance. This
surplus Is likely to be reduced $6,000,000
between now and the SOth of June by addl
Hons to the deficiency for the current
fiscal year, leaving on that date an avail
able ajrplus Of $94,000,000. If the estimates
which I have made for the year 1910 are
accurate, the estimated deficiency of $45,
OOO.OOOIn that year would still leave a sur
plus In the treasury of $49,000,000, which
would be increased from time to time In
the subsequent years.
Canal Basis Will Be Sold.
"In estimating the treasury surplus
nave assumed that 'canal bonds' --can be
sold from time to time to an amount which
will reimburss the treasury for all pay
menta on account of the canal and that
they are now available for that purpose.
Further legislation will, however, be neces
sary In this bill to secure that result
"The comptroller of the treasury haa
held that $60,000,000 of the amount paid la
not reimbursable under the provisions of
existing law. Existing legislation only au
thorlsea the Issue of 1 per cent bonds, which
must be sold at not less than par. These
could only be purchased by. or for th
national banks. It would not- be possible
to aell a considerable amount of bonds of
this character at par. It will, therefore,
be necessary to authorise the secretary of
the treasury to sell bonds of a different
class. Bonds redeemable at the pleasure
of the government after a few year could
undoubtedly be arid at a rate not exceed
tng $ per rent and the necessary authority
should be given In this bill for such pur
pose."
Stating that he was aware- that the a
compllshment of the $36,000,000 reduction in
expenditures he had auggested for 1U in
his estimates would be surrounded with
great difficulties, Mr. Alirtch said th
rapidity with which our national expendi
tures had Increased within the past three
year waa a source of anxiety if not alarm.

had an increase In expenditures of 1120,000,"
," he said.
Appropriations Are Gilratstsat,
"It is but fair to say that when the ap
proprlationa for th year 1908 were made
the country had not been overtaken by th
panic pf 1907.
"But a different condition existed . when
the appropriation for the year 1910 w;a
made. The fart that the appropriation
were It tnan the estlmstes does not re
lieve congress from responsibility for their
unprecedented extravagance. No excuse
whatever can be found for similar legisla
tion In the future.
"Th conditions under which appropria
tions are usiislly made by congress are
perhaps In part responsible for the wllfull
waste of public money. Each department
practically makee It own recommendation
Independently of what the other want
The committee In charge of the various
appropriation bllla are required to conalder
only the needs of the respective depart
ment for which they report approprlatlone
nd without reference to the total amount
of money available.
It la Important In the Interests of the
publlo service that a radical change In the
procedure with reference to approprlatlone
should be made. .
Dlabarsement Con Id Be Cat.
"It ahould be the function of the com
mittee on public expendlturea recently
created to tike Into conalderatlon, long be
fore the appropriation bllla are received
from the house, the estlmatee and needs
of the various departments and report their
recommendation to the aenate,' In order
that responsibility for future extravagancies
may be clearly fixed. From the Investiga
tion more or less superficial I am myself
satisfied thst the appropriations made last
year could have been reduced at least $50,
000.000 without Impelling the efficiency of
the public service. There are period In the
life of a nation when the spirit of ex
travagance pervades the atmosphere and
the public money la acattered right and left,
often without reference to the results to
be secured. We have within the last few
ears created many unnecessary bureaus
and multiplied employes beyond the pos-
Ibtirty of efficient -work:
'In this work of necessary reduction In
expenditure and. In reform In method of
appropriation to which the senate Is
pledged," said Mr. Aldrlch, "I am author
ised to aay that we shall have the earnest
support and active co-operation of the
president and the administration.
No New Taxes Needed.
"I may be asked what would happen If
It should be found that I have been over
sanguine or wholly inaccurate In my state
ments of probable conditions and results.
What shall we do If the revenues actually
received are less than those I have antic
ipated and large deficiencies are threat
ened? I answer, with emphasla, that It
would then be the Imperative duty of con
gress to reduce expenditures and make
them conform . to actual revenue conditions
and not to Impose new and onerous taxes.
The executive power of congress over the
revenues and expendlturea will not end
with the adoption of the pending bill. Th
pending bill will, if enacted Into law, pro
vide all the necessary revenues required
for public expenses upon a liberal scale.
No further additional taxea are needed.
The Imposition of other taxea under these
conditions would not only be unwise but
unjust and prejudice! to every. Intereat of
the great people we represent.
"In th face of. the record I have dls
closed no political party can. afford to
place new and unnecessary burdens upon
the Industries and people of the United
States and I should regret extremely If the

been to larae additional expense to keep
his house above ground.
But that was only the beginning of his
trouble. He built a splendid garage on the

came C. N. Diet and the Kountse estate
and had half of the alley declared vacated
and thereby upset all the well laid plans
of Mr. Colpetxer. He had arranged to
drive Into his garage from the alley, but
now that the garage la built and half the
alley vacated and a fence up, he finds he
has not room to get Into his garage. He
now haa to rebuild his garage, tear down

Nowhere Is the Indian's simple-minded
nets more apparent than In the homes,
says a writer In the Delineator. They are
either deold of furniture or crowded with
encumbrances. The occupants possess iron
and brsss bedsteads or dlaplay as their
chief treasure a highly polished, elaborately
carved folding-bed, never used. Rolling
themselves In blsnkcts, they seek repose
en the floor.
One home boasts ss Its principal furniture

In any theater.
A Spokane Indian was th proud possessor
of a shining black hearse, bearing four
huge ornamental sable plumes. Riding his
cayuse Into town one day he encountered
a funeral. The hearae caught his fancy;
he followed the procession, awestruck, to
the cemetery. Nothing would do but that
he must have the grand chariot for his
own. Disposing of some land, he purchased
the hearse and waa wont to take his wife
and numerous children out for a drive
sitting on the floor of the hearse, bouncing
from glasa side to glsss side as the road
