: Tait For Fro. Hills--
The report of the conference colu-
mithe which determined what would
be the ltrovislons of the i‘uyu'e bill in
It! flnaLforni was a victory for Pros-
ident Taft. lie Informed all of the
conform that hides must be placed
on the free list. together with petro-
leum. crude and refitted. They there-
upon decided to cut the lilugley tariff
on bill“ to 8 per cent. The president:
heard the news and sent word that
he had meant what he had said about
trodthidss. The figures were then
lowered to 7 per cent. . Now t‘hnlrtnan
Serene E. l'n9vne or the ways ultd
means committee decided to demon-
strate that his original bill. providing
for free hides should no longer be sub
Joctod to the smusculatory operations
of the majority of the confert-cs. He
announced that not even a .‘I per cent
duty on hides would be accepted by
either himself or the house. “Without
free hides this turltt bill will not pass
the house." he was quoted as saying.

and as quickly was oil put on the un-
taxod schedule; together with gaso-
line. benzlns and naphtha. The leather.
rough lumber. print paper. coal and

and harness were cut to to per cent.
as against the Dingley rate of 43 per-
cent. The president resorted to the.
unusual method _of pending ll written
message to the‘t-onfcrencc committee
demanding lower rates on lumber and
gloves than the Home hill provided
and he secured them 9

HISTORY OF THE BILL.
The new tariff law will. be known in
history as the Payne bill. taking its
name from the chairman of the house
committee of ways an means. the
Hon. Sereno It}. l'uyne fh'ew York,
who also had a part i frttminu'ttho
McKinley and lilttglcy eta. Actually
it should perhaps Its called the syno-
Aldrich bill. as the chairman f the
senate finance. committee has had quite
as much to do with dictating its final
provisions as Mr. Payne. ‘ (in this line
of reasoning, however. there are those
who Insist that it should he called the
'l‘uft bill. as the hand of the president
has been seen in all the moves that
have shaped it from the days of the
Republican national convention that

materials and for carrying out the
promises of the party. ‘
It is the first time there has been it

that law was strikingly like that of
the m‘esent. In each case It was en-
acted by an extra session of congress,
called as the first act of an incoming
administration. More noteworthy still.
each of these extra sessions was called
to meet on March l.'..ItiIc first one

ADMINISTRATIVE FEATUII'ES.
The bill marks a distinct demrfuro
tax and ii court of customs. The cor-
poration tax. willie yielding' a largo
amount of revenue. is primarily dc-
slpned for the purpose of got erntnen-
tul regulation of corporations, and it
will have this effect. '
'i‘lIc fact that the amount of the tax
to be'assessed was loweredIfrom 2 per
cent to I per cent is considered by the
members of congress to evidence clean
ly that the bill has regulation for its
object and not merely revenue.
Ths‘customs cottrt of appeals will
further centralize the national govern-
ment'. and it will place thc'intricate
and technical cases as to the construc-
tion of the law pndIIhe facts respect-
lntz classification of Inert-handbag and
rate of duty under the jurisdiction of
men who are specialists in this line.
There Is no appeal from this court.
which will sit in Washington. and the
members or \illif'h will be appointed
by the president.
For the purposes of the operation of 2
this court the country has been dlr'ld
ed into nine customs judicial, districts.
While many. items in the bill show-
revlslon downwardpit will as a whole
provide' for an increased .mvenue. con-. _
finulng in general effect. the Repub-
lican policy of protection. -

States are amply provitiedtfor. . Mut-
qutn and mittlmntn provisions enable
a higher rate of tax. to be imposed on
the products of these countries than
would ordinarily hare been the case. '9
The creation of a commission to look
into the question of tiIeIturiff front a
nonpartisan viewpoint is no innova-
tion that has been suggested for many
years. it is generalh looked on as a
move towutd "taking the tariff otlt of

There. have been exhumed, so far.
complete skeletons of a giant sloth. an
animal almost. as his as a street car;
several sabre-toothed tigers. a pro-his-
toric lieu of the African type. but
larger; a giant camel; three species of
pro-historic wolves; a horse that
seems to have been latger than any
exists today; giant eagles and con
dons: a large number of miscellan-
eous rodents, a small ptc historic c;at
the skull of a bird linger titan an os-
trich, and portions of skeletons of ele-
phauts.
The greatest find was the skull of an
extinct species of buffalo or pee-histo-
t‘lc ox. So far as known there is not
another like it in the world. The
types of animals shown by these dis-
coveries teem to have. been common
. here several thousand years ago.
