WAR REVENUES
TO BE REDUCED.
Ways and Means Committee
Considering Thirty Per
Cent Cut.
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.

Some 30 or more A merlon n sculptors*
of renown are at work upon the deco?
rative groups which are to have a
place at this Exposition. These are
to be neariy all original productions
under the master direction of Karl
Bitter. It will be the most elaborate
use of decorative sculpture ever under?
taken at an Exposition, there being
more than 125 groups. These will
adorn the fountains, bridges, entrances
to buildings'and other salient points.
Besides the pools and fountains, with?
in the several courts will be a grand
and stately canal which will surround
the entire group of buildings. In the
southern reaches of tins canal are
artificial bodies of water known as the
Mirror Lakes, from which lagoons ex?
tend lu several directions, thickly set
with aquatic plants of rare species.
In addition to the sunken gardene
and other floral features of the courts
will be the horticultural exhibits in the
southern par** of the ground*. These
will consist of Several acres of beds of
the finest productions of the best nurs?
eries and greenhouses of the western
world. The contrition for supremacy
will be very keen and tlse lover of flow?
ers will have a rare opportunity to
make a comparison of the turrits of
the productions of competing growers*.
