Washington, Not 20 ?The Re pnblioan members of the ways and means committee net today to con aider a measure for the reduction of the war revenue tax. The most ira portent action taken was a decision not to remove tha tax of 10 cents a pound oo tea The committee will oot take up or disturb the tariff on imports, aa the members claim it would open up the whole subject of tariff revision. The committee will not graot any heannga while framing the bill, aa full hearings were given during the laat session of congress, and aince than briefs and statements of varioua interests have been received Par liea who are intereated, however, oan Ola briefa or statements with the committee. Secretary Oage and Commissioner Wilson of the internal revenue bureau were before the committee for some tine during the afternoon. The Secretary told .ho committee that in bia opinion there might be m reduction in revenues of $30.000,000. The war revenue act now raises about $100,000,000. Commissioner Wil? son went over the schedules with the members of the committee and both be aod Secretary Oage were ques tioned as to where reductions ooold be made to the best advantage from the treaaury view point. A considerable part of the discus? sion waa ooofioed to the aohedule which taxea medicinal and proprie? tary articlea and perfumery, oosme Lies, chewing gum, wines, etc There waa also a discussion of stamp taxes The discussion indicated hat the committee favored quite a shaogs in this feature of the law md reductions wherever possible. The committee also desires to elimi late the taxea oo conveyance, of vhich there baa been a great deal of complaint It can be atated that in a general ray it will be the aim of the commit ee to abolish the most burdensome axea and to graot relief from atamp axea as far aa possible The committee late in the day ailed oo the president to obtain his iews oo the proposed reduction, 'be committee will meet again to? morrow. After there has been a general ?tercbange of opinion on the pro losed reduction it ia quite likely that \ sub committee will be sppointed o d'lft ? messore. It is oot believed the bill can be nepsred and ready for the full com oittee until the oeasion begins The measure, after it ia agreed ipon by tha Republicans, will be lubmitted to the Democrats of the joaroittee Suggestion baa been nade that the oleomargarine bill now >n the houae calendar and made a ipecial order for December 6tb, sight be made a part of the war re rdoue bill Repeaeutative Tawney, the father of the oleomargarine bill, when asked about this, aaid that the oleomargarine bill would be passed by the house early in the aession ao Ibat an opportunity will be giveu to ascertain if there was a disposition lo defeat the meaaure iu the senate by any unusual delay In such a caae be intimated that tho oleomar? garine bill might be made a part of the revenue reduction bill in the sensit? The committee later held a confer ence with the preaident lasting an hour The committee and the presi? dent sgreed on the desirability of the reduction or abolition of the war taxea where they proved annoying and irritating to tho interests involv? ed and yet have not produced very much revenue The president be lieves tbe surplus in the treasury is accumulating too rapidly and that couaervative reduction may be msde safely or the taxea entirely removed in aome ioatancea The Republican members believe they will be ablo to agree in a very few days on the gen I eral line of changes to be msde.
