Both the floor and the galleries were crowded. Mrs. Taft occupled a seat In the president’s gallery. After he had proceeded without inter- ruption for over an hour several senators ged In colloquies with him. Referring to Mr. Bailey's statement that the duties of the pending bill might be lowered 3% per cent. Mr. Aldrich asked whether he supposed the profits of American industries equalled that amount. Mr. Balley replied that In the case*of the United States Steel Corporation he believed they had and he cited the inereased capitalization of that organization as an evidence of enormous profit. He inslsted that such a lowering of the rate of duty would not serlously affect importations because he belleved Amerioan imaufacturers would be stimu- lated by the added forelgn competition and ‘would continue to supply the markets, Protection and Labor, Mr. Bailey discussed his amendment pro- viding for an income tax, which was criti- cised by Mr. Aldrich as tending to reduce the protection that would be given Ameri- can labor if it should result in a propor- tionate deorease of immigration as a pro- tection to American lamor. ready to keep the forelgn laborer from our shores, he was not averse to allowing the | product of this cheap labor to come in competition with the product of American workingmen. 2 Mr.. Balley also became involved in a discussfon with Mr. Aldrich with regard | to the latter's utterance in the senate in 15M, that the income tax was supported by the soclalist, lst and democratic parties. Mr. Bal sald that Mr, Taft nowsw Tax und auked .| Aldrich it he comsidered the president = #oclelist, populist democrat, Mr. Ald- rieh replied that his statement was true at the Hme it was made. Mr. Balley declared that Mr. Aldrich hnflt voted for. yubgtantially all large appropria- | tion measures. He sald that the Rhode | Island senator's recent stand in favor of economy occurred ‘when the burden was about to be placed on the rich. Would Reduce Dutiem “If this bill, as he presented it," sald Mr. Balley, referring to the chairman of the finance committee, “coupied with an in- come tax will ralse too fauch revenue, lets reduce the rates that we collect on the neceseities of Ifte.’ k Referving to an ‘“expatriated citizen,” who, he said, owned 310,000,000 of real es- tate In New York City, he sald that the workingmen of this country were taxed to protect his property, while he went untaxed ‘during the war with Spain. For more than elghty years, sald Mr. Bailey, the action ©Of congress and the declsions of vourts had maintained the validity of an Ancxmc tax law. Postjoning the gonclusion of his re- marks unul tomortow, when he said he would give some altention to supreme court decislons on an income tax, Mr Balley sald in conelusion: i “l do not think: that any citizen o senator 18 precluded from indulging in Just and far eriticlsm of any question relating o .T department of this government. The Judgment of the supreme court gov- erns me in any particular case and I sub- mit without complaint to that Judgment, but T do not subscribe to the dootrine that | because the judges have spoken all other | men must receive their speech in stlence.” Tax Tmmigrants Proposed. There was an extended exchange of | views of senators concerning the under- standing under which amendments to the taritt bill would be considered, it being agreed that all paragraphs would be sub- ject to further smendment even after, under the present procedure, the senate has wdopted committee amendments. Mr. Overman of North Carolina offered | an amendment by which he proposed to plece & head tax of $12 on each immigrant cOning Into the country. Mr. Overman, d'scussing his amendment, declared: ! 1t meand not only revenue for the treas- | ury, but Also a select class of immigrants and therefore it protects labor." Mr. Tman estimated that the head tax on aliens which he propised would bring to the government $,000,000 to $10,000,~ 000 of revenu: Hail Storm in Oklahoma | — | Terrifie Downmpour Accompani Storm that Breaks Many B&.r:‘m and Residence Windows.

WASHINGTON, April 2%.—(Special Tele- | gram.)—Commissioner Harlan of the Inter- | state Commerce commission fn an opinion today In the case of the Arkansas Fuel company against the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Raflway company held the road must make reparation on the basis that the class rate was excesslve and should not have exceeded the commodity rate. The oppioion reads: “The act to regulate commerce as amended not only gives a remedy against excessive and unreasonable rates as ap- plied to shipments to be made in the fuuture, but also affords the shipper a means or recovering excessive charges on shipments made by him in the past under rates that were unjust and unreasonable. In dealing with shippers a carrier is re- quired to conform frelght charges actually collected to the amount fixed in its pub- lished tariff, and in that sense a pub- lished rate in effect at the time of move- ment is the legal rate. But the law de- clares that every charge for services rend- a carrier 4in transportation of passengers or property shall be reason- able and just, and if the cariler promulgates rates in violation of this injunction, it is not a lawful rate when its reasonableness is subsequently questioned upon complaint filed while the published rate is the legal rate, mere publication cannot make a rate lawful that is unreasonable and excessive. No rate can be lawful, in the sense of be- ing Immune from attack either with re- spect to past or future shipments if it be excessive and unreasonable in amount." jurden of Complaint, The complainant shipped from Kansas City, Mo., to Beymour, Ia., via the defend- ant's rallway, a car load of hay upon which It was compelled to pay a class rate of 13% cents per 100 pounds.
