amount."
Income Tn v Feature.
Reduction of the basic exemption, from
Income ta from $4,000 as In the house to
$3,(W for unmarried persons and tho con
sequent rearrangement of this, the report
comments upon as follows:
. "Your committee reduces the amunt of
exemption of net Income to $3,000 and al
lows on account of marriage an addi
tional exemption of $1,000 to cither the
husband or wife where thc.v are living to
gethcr, but not to both. In the case of a
minor child or children living with and
dependent upon the parent, such parent
Is allowed an additional exemption of $XO
for one minor child nnd up to $1,000 on
account of mluor children, except where
both parents aro taxable. In which case
no nxeroptlon Is allowablo on account ot
children. By tho amendment the lowest
po'ilble exemption to any one person
would be $3,000 nnd the highest possible
exemption to any one person, $3,000. While
the amendmont may make no wide dlf
fevence In the volume of revenue derlv
able from the tax, It Is deemed oqultnblo
ns recognizing the added obligations on
account of marriage and children and
salutary na. emphasizing the family as the
unit of our social structure."
Airrlrnltiirnl I'rodnct.
Of agricultural products, many ot which
were transferred to tho frco list In nd.
dltlon to those put there by the house,
the committee has this to say:
"The house bill and amendments made
by the committee on finance fully rec
ognized tho paramount Interests of our
agricultural population by plnclng agri
cultural Implements of every kind and
description, fenco and baling wire, cot
ton bagging and ties, low-priced blankets,
boots and shoes, cement, nails, lumber,
coal, harness, saddles, cotton gins,
wagons, carts, bagging for grain, wool
and other bags, sewing machines and
many other products of dally utility on
the free list. In common with the rest
of our people, our ngrldulturnl popula
tion will share In the benefits brought
about by the reduction of the duties on
sugar and Its eventual elimination. The
substantial reductions made all along
the line on cotton nnd woolen goods,
wearing npparcl of evoy description, on
crockerj', household furnishings and
utensils, hardware and similar products
of. our factories, will rcmovo a consid
erable part of the burden of tariff taxa
tion now borne by tho farmer jui well as
tho dweller In theC)ty and the laborer in
the factory, fields and mines.'
Hnnrar und Wool.
Tho sugar and wool schedules are left
unchanged as to free sugar and free raw
wool, but reductions by the senate com
mittee In wool tops and yards are ex
plained, and sweeping reductions In tliu
metal schedule are treated In the report
wth considerable comment. Pig Iron,
ferro-mangancso and other products
were placed on the free list by tho com
mittee, and tho report says:
"The house bill places Iron ore upon
the freo list mainly because It was found
that the domestic supply of Iron ore
was largely controlled by tho United
States Steel corporation and for tho pur
pose of aiding the Independent Iron Rnd
steel manufacturers In their competition
with this monopoly.
"For similar reasons' the committee on
finance thought that ferro-mangancse
should nleo be placed upon the free ll(.t
The United States Steel corporation
largely controls tho domestic ore out of
which forro-manganese, which Is a neces
sary material in tho manufacture of
steel. Is produced. This corporation is
tho only producer of fcrro-manganese
in this country, but produces It only for
Its own use and consumption. It was
thought, under these conditions, Just
that tho Independent competitors of this
monopoly should be permitted to import
this high-priced alloy free ot duty, nnd
that with Iron ore and ferro-manganeso
on the tree list domestic competition
would be strengthened and the price of
the finished products of iron and steel
eventually would be lowered."
Reduce Cost of I.lvlntr.
Concerning the general revision the
senate committee says that following
the lead of the house, It "has soucht In
the amendments It proposes to tho house
bill further to carry out and perfect the
theory of establishing a revenue-producing
tariff upon the basis of competi
tive rates, as a Just and fair interpre
tation in the light of existing conditions
of the latest authoritative utterances of
the party In power upon that subject,
and now submits the results of Its labors,
with the confident belief that the enact
ment Into law" of the house bill as
ninended will result In a more equitable
distribution of the burdens and incidental
benefits of our system of customs taxa
tion; that it will tend to disintegrate tha
monopolies built ,up under the present
ystem; that it will enlarge opportunity
through Individual effort, reduce the
cost ot Jiving and relieve the oppressing,
burdens of the protective system strik
ingly exemplified In the so-called Payne-
Aldrtch bill whloh this measure is in
tended to supersede."

Republicans at a conference agreed
that Whenever a republican senator de
sired a record vote on an amendment ths
minority should stand by his request.
The Income tax section was attaoked
Uy. Senator Root on the ground that it
would be impossible to enforce It against
Incomes between March 1, 1913, and the
date the bill becomes law. He offered
an amendment to make the tax apply
only after tho new tariff becomes effec
tive. Senator Stone in the absence of
Chairman Simmons said the committee
would give consideration to the amend
ment.
A resolution for postponing consldera
tlon of the tariff act until Dccomber and
for a. national referendum election on the
bill In November, was Introduced by Sen
ator Galllzger.
Senator Sutherland Introduced an
amendment to require goods placed In
bonded warehouses to pay the rates of
duty in force at the date of Importation.
He stated he was informed that goods
valued at $100,000,000 had been placed tu
the warehouses waiting for lower duties
of the new bill to become effectlvo by
which he estimated tho government would
lose $35,000,000 in. revenue.

ment be referred to the finance commit

Tha method of filling tho vocanoy In
the city council caused by the death of
Alderman Klsher was a subject of dls
ciuelon around the city building yester
day. Tho law has been amended many
times since the city charter was granted
by the legislature more than a renera
tlon aco, and 11 required much examina
tion of the statutes to find tho exact pro
cedure' necessary. Tlio last change was
made by the busy legrslaturo last win
ter and appears In chapter 31, section
No. 1, amending section 937 of tho revised
code of 1907. Tills provides that all va
cancies In the council must bo filled by
appointment of tho other members ot
the council.
The law provides that tho vacancy
must bo filled within thirty days at any
regular or special session of the council,
and that the candidate 'receiving a ma
jority of all of the members of the coun
cil shall be declared elected and s.hall
qualify and take the oath ot office. Ills
term of office, however, shall only con
tinue until the next regular election.
Within two hours after all doubt had
been cleared away concerning the method
of procedure there were numerous can
didates for the office. The only quail,
flcattons are that the man mnst be a
qualified elector and a resident of the
Third ward. That he will bo a demo

has been made that a majority of the
members of the council have already
practically decided upon the man who
will be .selected. The matter may be
brought up at tho meeting of the council
next Monday evening, but' It Is likely
that It will bo deferred for another week.
