Wasnixgrox Bureav or Tus Lu. Chafrman Voorhees of the tee on finance is inclined to take an ox tremely optimistic view of the business outlook and to praise commercial prospects under the operation of the proposed Wilson tariff bill. He stated today that misappre hension hid gone abroad as w the purboses of the f to manu farmers mmittee irers, laboring men, me others, who objected to the fons ia the biil. It was not the in- ymmittes to delay consider- ands of the senate any longer tely necessary in order that wnose who had asked to be heard might be ief statement, ended to get the ] soon after as was possible. He nat the delay will be over ks, that the hearings otracted or that they will ana Propos tention of th bsol given an opportut ittee in the senate just as by the docs not beijer two or three w granted will be avail anything. Has Some Measures of His Own, “I do mot * said Chairman Voor- tees, “that the senate will make any ma- terial amendments to the Wilson bill. 1 predict that the measure will become a law in practically the same form in which it stands today. The amendments will not n ially t the figures and general provisions of the measure as it will pass the house, nor do I believe that tnere will be any important changes on the floor of the house. 1 have some amendments in my ming which I shall offer and belicve that they will be acceoted. I shall propose to levy a direct tax on fi rms, revolvers, pistols, guns and sporting arms generally. 1 shall propose an increase of the whisky tax to $1.25 & gallon. 1 do not believe the ‘whisky it bond should pay the additional tax, for tho government entered into a contract with the owner at the time the whisky placed in bond that it should pay 90 cents per gallon. 1 believe iv a duty on raw sugar for revenue purposes. “Oh, yes, I believe in income taxes. I was one of the first advocates of income taxes, and when a member of the house about tweniy y ro 1 voted against the repeal of the income taxes levied for war revenues.” May Enlarge the Free List. It Senator Voorhees' propositions to re- taip income taxes in the bill, increase the whisky tax to $1.25 per gallon, tax fircarms and sporting goods generally and muke raw sugar vay a duty, should be adopted, there would be such a surplus of revenuc as to per- mit of a further enlargement of the free list and material reduction of duties upon manufactured goods—reductions to points which will insure the closing of all American factories and mills and insure the idleness of all American workingmen who refuse to emigrate to England to engage in the manu- facture of goods for exportation 1o the United States. This may be his purpose. Status of the Local Banks, The consolidated report of the nine na- tional banks in Omaha, showing their con- dition on December 20 [ast, prepared at the office of the comptroller, show that they had on hand at that time 14 per cent re- serve.

FOR HOME KULE, Western Senators Objeot to the Appolnt- ment of Nonresident Officla ‘WASHINGTON, Jan, 5.—There will be an- | commerce ac | state Commn other contest in the senate over the con- firmation of those appointments from the states as Indian ageuts, and other offices in the west. During the extra session of con- gress there was a protracted fight ia the senate against the confirmation of this class of appointments, not because there was any objection to the men per- sonally, but because the principle opposed, Senator Hill of New York wasone of the democrats who sup- ported the repu s in_the fight that made. [Every man seut from one state to hold & settled appointment in another was opuosed in executive session by Senator Hill, The fight was led by many senators from the west, as it was generally to the west that some eastern man was sent. The fight this time will open with an Oregon appointment, and Senators Dolph and Mitcnell have said that they intend to object to the sending of appoivtees from the east and south into their state. 1t is be- leved that ull the western men will sup- port them in their opposition. It is clnimed y those who support the administration in this matter that Indian agents are not state appointments, that Indian agcucies are purely under federal control and that ap- Ppoiutees can be sent from any section of the country to govern the ngencies.
