Administrative Features of BUI.
Practically all the administrative fea
tures of the bill which were adopted In tho
senate were accepted by the eonfereies.
They Include a new maximum and mini
mum feature, a corporation tax law In
steud of the Inheritance tax adopted by
the house, authorization for a bond Issue
to raise money to build the Panama canal,
as well as numerous other features.
The maximum and minimum provision
prescribes duties In accordance with the
rates named In the dutiable list until March
31, 1U10, when 25 per cent ad valorem is to
be added automatically as the maximum
duty. The president is authorized to apply
the minimum rates, however, to Imports
from a country which gives Its best rates
to the products of the United States, and is
made the Judge as to whether a foreign
country accords to the United States treat
ment which Is reciprocal and equivalent.
When he finds that this condition exists
he is to issue a proclamation putting In ef
fect the minimum rates and until the time
of the proclamation the maximum rates
will apply.
The president Is empowered to employ
such persons as may be required to secure
Information to assist the president In the
discharge of the duties Imposed upon him

(he officers of the government In the ad
ministration of the customs laws. The
reciprocity treaty with Cuba in not af
fected by the maximum and minimum
provision.
The president Is empowered also to
abrogate those reciprocity treaties which
can be maintained by diplomatic- action.
It is made his duty to give ten days'
notice after the bill becomes a law of his
intention to bring those treaties to an end.
All other treaties which contain no stipula
tion In regard to their termination by
diplomatic action shall be abrogated by a
notice of six months from the president to
those countries, the notice dating from
April 30. 19011, In which date Secretary Knox
notified foreign governments that the
United States would soon ask them to en
ter Into new tariff relations.
Free Philippines.
The Philippine free trade provision was
considerably elaborated bv the senate;
provides for the free Importation of all
articles "the growth, or product of, or
manufactured In the Philippine Islands
from material the growth or product of
the Philippine Islands or the United States
or both of which do not contain foreign
materials to the value of more than 20 per
cent of their total value." nice is the only
exception to the free provisions, but re
strictions are placed upon sugar and
tobacco. The free Importation of sugar Is
limited to 300,000 tons a year. On wrapper
Hid filler tobacco when mixed the annual
limitation is 300. 000 pounds; on filler
tobacco, I.iMi.OcO pounds and on cigars 150,
000.000. A provision Is Included In the bill which
levies on all articles upon which any
foreign country pays a bounty or grant
upon its exportation, an additional duty
equal to the amount of such bounty.
It Is required that all Imported articles
capable of being marked without Impair
ment of their value shall be stamped with
the name of the manufacturer and the
country of origin.
A very elaborate provision for the ad
ministration of the customs laws was
adopt-d by the conferees. It Is practically
the same as that adopted by the senate.
It Is Intended to prevent undervaluation
of articles on which there is no foreign
market by which true values may be as
certained. t'ustoma Coart Fstabllahed.
Provision Is made for the establishment
of a customs court of appeals, with head
quarters in Washington. It will comprise
a presiding Judge and four associate
Judges, at salaries of $10,000 a year. There
are to be appointed to conduct government
cases before this court a special assistant
attorney general at 110,0ml, a deputy assist
ant attorney general at $7,500 and four at
torneys at $5.0Ou each.
The Internal reenue tax on tobacco Is
amended, making the rates on chewing
and smoking tobacco 8 vents a pound. No
change was made In the tax on cigars, ex
cept those weighing under three pounds
per 1.000, which were increased from 64 to
75 cents per 1.000. The rates on cigarettes
were Increased to $1 25 per 1.000. A pro
hibition against the use of coupons or
special gift pledges U incorporated In the
new law.
The provision granting farmers the free
I sal of leaf tobacco, places a restriction
; on the retail dealer which requires him to
1 record every tale amouniiug to two pounds
' or more to one perron In one day. A
: number of oilier lion-clad requli ements
I are included In the redraft of this section
! adopted by the conference tonunittee, by
I which It was Intended to prevent any
frauds upon the internal revenues and at
! the sain time give as much of a local
! market as possible to the tobacco grower.

Tax on Corporation Earning!.
Every corporation, Joint Btock company
or association organized for profit and
every insurance company Is required to
pay annually an excise tax of 1 per cent
upon its entire net income over and above
fS.UOO. This feature wan put into the bill
to raise additional revenues to apply on
the treasury deficit. The section was pre
pared by Attorney General Wickersham,
assisted by other able lawyers in the ad
ministrative circle and great care was
taken to guard against double taxation.
It provides a form of publicity which will
enable the government to exercise super
vision over corporations. The form of re
turns which must be made by corporal. ons
and other features of the corporation tax
law were made public in detail during Its
consideration in the senate. It is estimated
that from $20,000,000 to $:,000,000 a year will
be collected under this new form of fed
eral taxation.
The secretary of the treasury Is author
ized to issue Panama canal bonds to the
amount of J90,Stii!,000, which sum together
with that already expended equals the es
timated cost of the Panama canal. It Is not
Intended that the bonds shall be Issued ex
cept as needed to provide money to carry
on the work of canal construction. The
bonds are to be payable fifty years from
the date of Issue and will bear interest at
a rate not exceeding 3 per cent. When the
bonds are sold the secretary of the treas
ury will restore to the working balance
the 150,000.000 paid originally for the canal
property and the canal sone.

Included In the conference bill with a f-w
changes in phraseoloKy in several cased.
The drawback provision of the Dlngley
law Is Incorporated in the conference bill
in lieu of the drawback of the house bill
which intended to permit the substitution
of domestic material In the manufactured
article for export to the same quantity
that the Imported material, upon when a
drawback waa obtainable, was used In the
manufacture of similar articles for domes
tic consumption. An additional provision
was adopted entitling users of domestic
alcohol in the manufacture of perfumery
and cosmetics to secure a drawback of In
ternal revenue tax to the amount of alcohol
used in an exported article.
TRET'S VICTORY
SEEMS COMPLETE
over some resolutions Increasing the
clerical and laborer force of the capttol.
An adjournment was taken at 1:52 p. m.
Taft I.Ikes w nil.
President Taft expressed himself today as
pleased with the tariff bill as agreed to by
the conferees last nlfjht. It Is known he is
conferees last evening. It is known he Is
not entirely satisfied with all of the bill
and he told several of his callers that It
would be a miracle if a tariff bill could be
designed that would please everybody.
The president said there were a great
many things about the bill that he was
delighted to have a part in and he would
be equally delighted to sign and defend
the measure in its finished state.
President Taft made It plain that he
was Invited Into the conference before he
attempted to give the advice which finally
brought about a settlement of the contro
verted points. In addition to Inviting the
views of the president the conferees went
so far as to take votes on certain sched
ules, the decision thus reached to stand
only In the event of its meeting the pres
ident's approval.
Better Than Dlnuler I.avr.
Without attempting to go Into 'the de
tails of the schedules recently in contro
versy the president today declared that
in a great many ways the new tariff law
would be a marked Improvement over the
Dlngley act.
The president pointed out as great for
ward steps the enactment of the Philip
pine tariff, the corporation tax, the estab
of the new maximum aud minimum pro
visions, establishment of a commission to
advise the president in the operation of
the maximum and minimum clause and on
the matters generally connected with the I
tariff. 1
As to the corporation tax the president ,
let It plainly be known that while he was I
in favor of such a tax he was not so j
wrapped up in it that he was willing to

the end attained in submitting to the
stales the proposition for an amendment
to the constitution permitting the enact
ment of an lm ome tax law was one of the
triumphs of the present tariff fight. No
constitutional amendment has been sub
mitted to the states since the days of the
civil war.

IGNORANCE BREEDS DISEASE
Consumption Cannot De Cnred By
Patent Medicines, Declares
National Association.
A pathetic Illustration of the way In
which the public is being deceived by
quark cures for consumption Is found In
a letter received recently by the National
Association for the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis.
The letter came from a woman In the
mountains of western Maryland, and was
addressed as follows:
Postmaster, Jersey City, N. J. Will you
please give this letter to the man who
railed out trains In Jersey City two years
ago last February 9, in the afternoon.
The letter was referred by the postmaster
of Jersey City to the National Association
for the fcitudy and Prevention of Tubercu
losis. It reads:
Dear Sir: I want to find the man who
cured himself of consumption by using oil
of . Do you remember of a very sick
man, his wife, two children and mother
who missed connection and had to wait all
afternoon for a train. You told my son
and myself of your cure. I remember part
of the directions, which was: Take one
drop the first day. two drops the second
day. and so on till It went up to thirty
drops. Now I want to know what to do
when the thirty drops have been reached.
Does thn directions say to continue the
thirty drops each day or go back to one

The national association calls attention
to the fact that, according to this letter,
one life at least has already been lost
on account of Ignorance of the proper
methods of treatment and prevention of
tuberculosis, and another member of the
family has been Infected by the careless
ness of the former consumptive.
With the present rapid growth of the
anti-tuberculosis movement the number of
so-called "cures" for consumption Is being
Increased almost dally. Hundreds of
quack "doctors," "professors" and "Insti
tutes" are advertising that they can cure
consumption for small amounts, with the
result that thousands of dupes are yearly
cheated out of their lives as well as their
money. Ilesldes those, "cures" and medi
cines of all sorts, numbering now several
hundred, are sold for the deception of the
public
The national association brands all of
theso Institutes, doctors, professors and
cures as frauds and deceptions. The only
cure for consumption Is fresh air, rest and
wholesome food.
