This determi- jn nation has caused somewhat of a sht! furure among legislators. No I'resi- bet dent since Adams has done this, the ma , , , t n wa mcDsaBc uaiiug uet'u seui iu congress by messenger. President (^ Wilson will go in person and use the long unused President's office at the tug Capitol, from which he will later ap- me pear unannounced before both r('] branches assembled on the floor of ' bee the house. Speaking of this matter Mr. Wilson said, "I think this the only dignilled way for the President V'H to address the opening session of ,?a Fr< Congress. The custom has been dis- . tor continued a long time, but it is a jjjjery respectable precedent." spr Provisions of the new tarilT bill hoi made public today are as follows: Free wool, free steel rails, free saw- hoi ed lumber, a national tax on in- Sai comes above four thousand dollars, sugar cut in half and on the free list after three years, unqualified free trade with the Philippines, all luxuries at the present rate. All murketbasket necessities are reduced to a minimum, cotton rates cut drastically, House granted equal power with the senate to approve reciprocity treaties, a majority vote only being required. Advalorem rates being substituted for specified. UP Sawed boards and other cabinet by wood free and furniture reduced S'K half, tobacco practically unchanged, a sweeninc reduction on ncrinui- ter tural products, cotton classifications wil changed and reduced, which reductions apply especially to stockings, gloves, underwear and damask. s'u The Vice President lias decided not to push the charge of immorali- ,<>r ty against a certain Western sena- we tor on the ground that only senators ' have the right to make charges in wa the official record. ot In reply to the committee from the senate calling on President Wil- 'ns son today to sugge-t that the tariff (<>s be considered schedule by schedule a^! the President said he would consider the matter. The reply will likely nes be ready by the time of the Democratic house caucus tomorrow. wa INCOME TAX 111IlKXDV. ha: A.
