Maryland Representative Wants Large
Appropriation.
Washington, March 17.—Two steel
floating dry docks of a sufficient size
to dock vessels of at least 20,000 tons
displacement tobe constructe by con-
tract under the direction of the secre-
tary of the navy, are provided for in
a bill recently introduced by Represen-
tative Mudd of Maryland. The cost of
the docks is not to exceed $1,750,000
each 3500.090 of which is made imme-
diately available. -They must be so
built as to provide for the largest prac-
ticar installments of machinery for the
purpose of repair to ships docked by
them. It is provided that one of ths
docks shall he located on the Pacifie
coast and one on the Atlantic coast.
MORE WESTERN MEN.
In the future give the courts a clear
understanding of the Intent of con-
gress. . ..
The bill contains a carefully pre-
pared section (section 20), extending
the provisions of drawback on material
imported on which tariff has been paid
and the products of which are manu-
factured in this country. It is believed
this guards the revenue and at the
same time liberalizes the publication
and will stimulate export trade.

actment.________ _ ____

Addition to Be Made to Committee
Indian Affairs.
Washington, March 17.—(Special)-
The addition of several western men
to the committee on Indian affairs
which now seems probable, will be fa-
vorable to a more liberal recognition of
Indian depredation claims. Ths legis-
lation tobe proposed will seek to elab-
orate the benefits of the existing law
of eliminating the non-rejoinder: amity
and citizens' clauses. It is intimated
that the chairman of the new committee
will be a western man who may or not
now be a member of the old committee

One of the most important of the

that providing for the method of valu-
ation. which Mr. Payne explains as
follows:
"The bill adds a new paragraph to
section 11 of the customs administra"
tive act, which provides for the ap-
praisement of goods imported by con-
signment and not by sale where there
is no market price at the place pt the
origin of the goods. After re-enacting
the present provisions to ascertain the
value, the bill adds this paragraph:
" The actual market value or whole-
sale prices as defined by law of any
imported merchandise which is con"
signed for sale in the United States or
which is not actually sold and freely
offered for sale in nsual wholesale
quantities in the opn market of a coun-
try of «xp*tation to all purchasers,
shall not in any case be appraised at
less than the wholesale price at which
such or similar merchandise is actually
sold and freely offered for sale in
usual . wholesale quantities in the
United States in the open market to all
purchasers* due allowance by deduc-
tion being made for estimate duties
thereon, cost of transportation, insi-
rance and other necessary expenses
from the place of shipment to the
place of delivery and a reasonable
commission not exceeding 10 per cent,
if any. If the same has been Dalde,"
Explains Form of Bill.
The following explanation of the
form of the bill was made by Mr.
Payne:
“The new tariff hill is a minimum
and maximum tariff bill. The mini-
mum rates of duty as contained in the
first section and the free list for the
minimum rate is in the secons section
of the bill. The third section contains

"The last normal year of imports was
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1006;
1907 was an unusually prosperous year
and the revenues from customs ex-
ceeded those of 1906 by 332.0o0.000. The
I com m it tee. therefore, have taken the
year 1906 as the basis to form thir es-
timate of the revenue producing quali-
ties of the new bill. Should the next
fiscal year prove prosperous and the
normal conditions of 1906 return on Ac-
I count of the large Increase in popula-
tion the revenues for 1910 would show
। a considerable increase over the esti-
mates of the committee.
With a return to anything like nor-
mal conditions during the next fiscal
year, it is safe to predict that the de-
ficit would be entirely wiped out, but
in case it is not, the bill provides tor
the issue of Panama canal bonds to re-
Imburse the treasury for the $40,000,-
000 paid out in the original purchase of
the canal. This would more than make
up any probable deficiency. There is
also re-enacted the provision for the
issue of certificates to run one year
to replenish the treasury, raising .the
amount from 3100.000,000 to 3250,000,000.
an amount sufficient to provide at any
time against two or three years of de-
pressed business conditions.”
The statement gives the rate in the
present law, the Dingley tariff, and
shows the changes that the Payne bill
proposes. Th?' abstract of the bill con-
tinues:
W

from the time it is due.

H special agent to conduct in vevt igations

which attended the enforcement of the
Dingley bill on the day It became a
law. the Payne bill is not to take effect

provisions of the bill are new, in ex-
empting from payment of duty on mer-

Regarding the miscellaneous "provi*
sion, Mr. Payne says:
’The bill provides for reciprocal freo
trade with the Philippines on all ar-
ticles. but limiting the sugar to be
imported free of duty to 300.099 tons,
wrapper tobacco to 890,000 pounds and
3.000,000 pounds of filler tobacco and
150.000,000 cigars in any one fiscri
year. The excess of sugar, tobacco and
cirars to pay full tariff rates.
This exemption from duty It confined
to the growth or products of the is-
lands, however, and does not admit ar-
ticles imported into the Philippines
from a foreign country without the pay-
ment of the full rates of duty on such
importation.
A section is Inserted preserving the
Cuban reciprocity provisions of the
present law.
Provision fs made to terminate the
various commercial agreements with
foreign countries according to the
terms of agreements.
The provisions of section 4, apply-
ing to minimum and maximum in the
bill amount to about 33C0.090.990.
The bill provides for a tax on trans-
fers of property both real and per-
sonal by inheritance or succession and
by will.
It is believed that this provision
when. In full operation will bring in a
revenue of 320.909 000 though no accu-
rate estimate can be made
The tax on cigarettes is increased,
those weighing over three pounds per
1.900 from 33 to 33.69 and those weigh-
ing leas from 31 to $1.50.
