No. 312. ELEVENTH YEAK.
SKAGWAY, ALASKA, TUESDAY
iashcm
APRIL 6. 1 ?0?
It looks like a walk-a-way for the
Citizen?' candidates for the council.
The leaders of the Citizens' ticket
are certain that five men have been
elected and all but the most conser
vative expect to see six councilmen
land tf there is not a clean sweep.
At 3:30 o'clock this afternoon, 254
voles had been cast. Careful esti
mates give the Citizens' candidates
at least 60 per cent, of this vote. One
man on the Citizens' ticket asserts
that the Taxpayers' ticket will get
less than 100 votes out of the regis
tration of 321.
Christopher Columbus Shea and Si
Tanner are running far lighter than
e pected and it is more than probable
that neither of these men will be
elected.
E. J. Shaw has polled a good vote
and will probably -be returned to the
council with a good majority.

SENATE HAS REAL TARIFF I
MEASURE UP ITS SLEEVE
j i
BY CILSON tiAHDNBK.
(1'nlted 1'rcss Correspondent. I
WASHINGTON, 1?. C.. "Koriy-vlKh
hours :ift?T the house tariff bill reach
e? the senate. the r?*:il tariff bill will
Ik- reported by the finance commit
tee to the senate."
So spoke Senator XelsVn W. AM
licit, bo.tstliiKly to a follow member
of the senate. This was .Mr. Ah'.ricir
comment on the work of the house
(.ommiti 'e on ways and means.
The Payne bill is a tariff for dis
cussion.
The real tariff bill will appear:
about Hit days hence. The house of
i eprcsentalivcK and the public have
1" ?'ii handed tlx* I'ayne bill "to chew
Aldrieh figures that there must
of necessity be a certain amount of
what lie calls "cltewliiK."
"Now let the public ?lie?." sa.vs
Aldrieh.
in the committee room of Altirlch,
umit r lock and key, is the "real tar
ifi revision bill."
Keep It Dark
Wha* is in the "real bill" is known
to few. Cannon knows what are its
salient features. So possibly does:
Payne and John Ualzell. Jim llemen
way (former senator, but still con
nected w'tli senate pay roll) could
te'1 some things that are in it. And j
the attorneys for the Standard Oil
C?>. and 'or certain industrial corpor
ations, and their agents in the macli
ii ?? of both the Republican and the
Democratic parties, have participated
in the counsels. They know certain
parts.
And President Taft knows a Rood
deal about it.
New One Coming
Thus the bill which is submitted to
the country for debate and criticisi
will, at 'lie close of the special ses-(
sion, be replaced by an entirely differ,
cut bill which for the coming t>0 days
v ill be diligently kept concealed.
Tariff bills are passed by confer
< i.oo committees. That is tin- history
ot our tariff bills. That Is to !??? t hi ?
history of the Payne Aldrich bill.
Aldrich, Cannon, Pay no and Halzell ?
will turn this trick. And thoy will
turn It in 'ho way that tney like bost.
AT of which, howovor, will occur sonu
w- oks honce.
Political Document
The tariff bill as now reported inus
Ik regarded us a political document
The loaders of the house are tr.vinj.
to deal with the tariff matter in a !
v.ay which will not cause their con
sti'uents to turn them out of powei
two years honoo.
Thoro aro some int<>r< iiik hints ol (
what is t? come in the Payne Itiil ,
Some of tho increases are significant. j
I 'or instance, higher duties aro pro
vided in tho bill for coal-tar dvos and ,
colors; those being raised from 30 to
per con*. These are by-products ,
ot Standard Oil. Another by-product
i' bitiiineu and asphalt um, usod for
strcet paving, and there is an increas
ed duty provided for this. Tiio 001.1
lii nent part of Portland cement sets a
duty of 35 instead of :!0. This will
help the cement trust. Don tell, of ,
I hicago has looked after the watch '
trust. All watches and component
parts got higher duties.
Paper Trust' Fixed
Tho paper trust is fixed up satis- ,
factorlly ? to tho paper trust. Ash
compensation for the reduction of!
duty on WOOd pulp, all other kiiu.s
ol plain and fancy paper, oven in- |
eluding wall paper, are given actual I
increases. Split peas, figs and lom- 'J
otis go up. A higher duty is proxid- j
oii for stockings. All kinds of |
spices, from red pepper to pimento, I
are subjected to an increased tax.
Tho question whether coffee will i
be taxed instead of Inheritances will j
be dee'ded by Aldrich. The questions J
whether the harmless and cheering I!
tea cup shall pay the tax. or whether |
whiskey and boor shall come in for j
their share of our incr< asod burdens, '
'.re questions on which Cannon still J
casts the deciding vote.
