IMS provisions LIKELY TO BE of BENEFIT, MniKM'ruts Ndt Flf|aW.d for Im-ili to Which n?<|HOlU| is to be 1a tended. Washington. Jan. ?'i. -Democrats arc somewhat surprised tonight by the extent t<> which the Canadian it clprocal agreement, presented to con ?PtM today for ratitication, reduces the tariff duties betwet n Canada and UM rnited States. With the excep? tion of lumber, which may be affected some by the admission of rough lum? ber from Canada free of duty, all the products of the South are con? sidered to be benefited by the pro? vision of the asreement. Koughly speaking, the agreement provides for the admission to this untry of foodstuffs free of duty ?nd the admission into Canada of manufactured products, cottonseed oil und coal free of duty, or at re? duced rates. There probably will be strong op? position to the lumber schedules, ad? mitting rough lumber into this coun? try free of duty and dressed lumber at a reduced rate. Coal is not admitted to this coun? try, any cheaper, but the Canadian rate of duty reduced opening a wider market for United States coal in Canada. It is estimated that Canada remits $180.000 annually In duties on cottonseed oil under the provisions of the agre? merit, besides providing a greater market for this product. There is bitter opposition to the agreement in its present farm by Re? publicans and it will have a stormy career in congress according to pre? dictions of many persons today. pi MPkiNs AGAINST WARSHIPS.

Measure Introduced by Represi ntative Rembert Debated at Length, Mem? bers Expressing Views Pro and Con?Argued that Tai on Estates Wonld Bring Revenue on Property Escaping Taxation During Life of < hwner, Columbia, Jan. 19.?After a pro longed discussion, the House today gave its approval for an inheritance tax. The bill is very long and com? plicated, and members voted for the measure on faith that the bill had hi en properly prepared by Mr. Item bert and in advocacy of the general principle of an inheritance tax. Mr. Ashley called it a "fool" bill, but the House by a vote of 34 to 71, on a straight vote, refused to kin the bill, On a previous vote the House by 47 to 44 declined to continue the bill until next session. The diSCUBSion on the bill was on ?he plan -of taxation rather than on the Immediate bill that was passed by the House. Mr. Doar had the exemption for children increased to $5,000; the bill carried $2,000 exemption. Otherwise the* bill was adopted. The widows' I exemption la fixed at $10,000. The I tax varies according to the nearness of the relationship, going from one half to two per cent. Mr. Heiser objected to Mr. Item bert'l Inheritance bill. The bill, he felt, was i rol ber in Santa Clan ? garb and not a real Santa Clause. The Inheritance tax, he thought, was en? tirely foreign t > our traditions and p uioies. Only three Southern States have such a tax, and they exempt parents and child, husband and wife, and under the pending bill then u . re no exemptions, He argued that It was not just and fair to have a minority pay such a considerable por? tion of the taxes. The Judge of Pro? bate is allowed one per cent of the In? heritance tax he collects, and this, he thought, was a wrong policy. The whole scheme he thought dangerous. Under the Income tax system as long as a man lives he can pay the tax, but he thought It wrong to go beyond the grave in taxation. The bill puts a premium on setting the tax within six months, which .ho felt wu* wrong. 1 Mr. QelSO]; argued forcibly B" ir; the bill, Mr. Williams t 111 ? a, argued that the l i'i wh ? v . islve and unnecessary. Mr. Davis, of Barnwell, opposed the bill chiefly on the ground that h was double taxation and It taxed poor estates. Mr. Geo. R, Uembert, of Columbia, said he expected opposition to the bill as there was always difficulty in securing constructive legislation. The i bill was Democratic, or at least ne hoped that it was purely Democratic. Mr. Rembert insisted that he had no demagog!em In bis make-up. lie said fortunes were like ?nowballs, in? creasing as tin y went along and his effort was to keep fortunes within limitations. The possessor of a live million dol? lar estate, he argued, meant that he did not pay as nuu h proportionately as the poor man. Mr. Uembert had been studying and working on the Inheritance tax matter for months. , He took up the effect of the tax on a million dollar estate and said he knew several million dollar estates. (>n a million dollar estate tin n would be a tax of $"?0,000, the orphan would Inherit $950.000, and the State would get $.'0,0000 as an inheritance levy, On small estates the levy is so small it cannot be felt. He then took up the matter of the constitutionality ??f the bill. The only way to settle the matter Anally is to ?Ubmlt it to the Supreme Court as the sxaei question hai never been settled, but he thought it would stand and Otted the Magoon ease from Illinois ami other oausei that he thought would prove parallel. He said that 33 States now have an Inheritance tax. Mr, Rembert showtd great famil? iarity with the inheritance tax law. Mr. Belser maintained that the in? heritance tax bill was wrong in prin? ciple and undertook to disturb recog? nized law. The tax ib dglng was not confined to the rich, was his observation. Rich und p..or alike w < re tax dogen and n< w lOUrcei of taxation was not the correct remedy for the present trou? bles. The total taxable Values, Inj argued, was mx times what it n ?w was. at hast as to assessed valuation. The Inheritance tax would not reach Stocks and bonds, the very thing* held by the rlcil, The real estate would hear the burden of this Income tax, persona] property would dodge the inheritance tax. while real estate cannot dodge, as it can only be trans? ferred <>n the record, The i.iii may be called Democratic, hut It looked to him like a Socialistic doctrine. Mr. Magill was in favor of tic gen? eral doctrine of the bill, but It w? \ REGISTERED. of Royster Fertilizers. Mr. Royster believed that success awaited the Manufacturer of Fertilizers who would place quality above other considerations- This was Mr. Royster's idea Twenty-?.-^ven years ago and this !s his idea to-day; the result has been that it requires Eight Factories to supply thedemanc! for Royster Fertilizers, F.

BALT.! : r.'.D. il CTrflHTOP ? ? ?COBS JBLOU~L ^ ! too important a matter to act upon without du?' consideration, and he moved t> continue the hill until the first day of the next session. On this Mr. Cary demanded a yea and nay Vote, and the House, by a vote of 47 to 4 i refused to continue the bin. Mr. Ashley said the bill was the urjustcsi" and most unfair bill In tiodueed during the fifteen years he hi s been in the House. It is merely a tax on people who accumulate a little; property. The bill is the worst he ever heard of, and keeps on piling on taxes and costs and the lawyers even were to get. 50 per cent. Mr. Ashley said he had hoped the fool-killer had been about in Colum? bia. This provoked much laughter, but Mr. Ashley said he was not jok? ing. Mr. Smith of Oolleton as fl fai favored the bill and though: I right aud proper. Mr. a (;.!?. ice, i f Ch< st i said h. did not understand all tin details of the bill. He favored the principle, and believed in an inheritance tax. As a system he thought it right and was a fair and just tax. The plan had ... 1 nothing to do with the incc.ne tax. Mr. Rembert said he had spent two months working on the bill. He went to two of the most careful law? yers and consulted them and confer N ?1 with Mr. J. N. Frierson, of the University of South Carolina, went over the law With him and felt that the bill was perfect. He used the Utmost care in preaparing the bill. Mr. Browning said if the bill was constitutional it was the easiest way to collect additional taxes, and it was an entirely just and fair tax. He said he knew a man who died worth $500,-' 000 to $700,000, and he had never been on the tax books for more than $50,000, f.nd this bill would pick up i such short 'omings. ! Mr. Scott said he understood the bill to be aimed at tax-dodgers, and he thought there was discrimination In the ''ill and opposc? H tecause of certain features. There should be no I exemptions. The House by a vote of P.4 to 71 re? fused to kill the bill and then gave the bill Its second reading. Mr. Rem? bert offered a number of minor amend? ments, he having entire charge of the measure. The bill will receive its third House reading tomorrow. The House granted permission to introduce a bill to amend the ? harter of the Newberry Cotton Mill. Mr. RUey's bill to fix the commu? tation tax for Hamberg County was passed. Mr. Tobias* bill to establish a Civil and Criminal Court In Charleston re? ceived its second reading without ob? jection. Mr. Brlce's bill relative to jury ex? emption was passed to its third read? ing. All bills relating to new counties and ( hanging county lines w? re made a special oiab r for tomorrow. .Mr. Bodle's bill to regulate the sale and handling of cocaine was given its second reading without objection. Tin- House agreed to meel tfjjfiiuht, after much discussion. it has taken s long time to ea t the bill through ratifying the constitution? al amendment relative to the fifth Justice of the Supreme Court. Tin resolution was presented by Senator Croft. There was doubt about the resolution receiving the requisite two third vote, and Messrs Cary, Harris, Sage and Courtnay changed their votes and ensured the necessary two third \ ot The bill ratifying the con? stitutional amendment was ordered ?i.rolled for ratification. Liter on at the insistence of Mr. Earle the House : wed the second of the hills rela? tive to the creation of the new mem? ber of the Supreme Court.
