A dispatch from Washington inti mates that President Ilooscvclt, in the i pinion of many congressmen. is Iron-: i.v disposed to embark upon a core arduous and perilous venture Cam an.v which lie lias yet undertaken. )! is impossible to say just wli.it foun #' ition, if any, there ij for this belief. ■ at the impression has gained preva i. ice that tlie president has in contem j> . tiou uot merely a readjustment of tin iff, tut a ;; -lreral revision of the national system of taxation.

When the in . ...Knit presented his v ••.••• son the subject of an inheritance i. a. many members of congress ex )•: s.ed their cordial approbation of the . When they learned that it was the president's idea 1 lint the tariff ques tion should lie discussed in connection with the inheritance and income tax 1> • ositions, some of them became InUoeairm at once on the subject of the inheritance tax. They realised the : !!V fll of tilO pi'C.-jUKUIt'S position, 88 i i self evident that if a large reve nue is to be dcrh ed by the goveru ii . .a from taxes on incomes and in h : uiees there will be less need for c ■ customs duties levit t under the I-', ley tariff. The logical thin;: for ■ >3B to do, therefore, would bo in roe.'.', list tlie customs duties to the ne ies of the government. Inch re tmcut naturally would mean the la ring of tile duties.

Tichenor at the request: of the secre-; tary of the treasury for use by the i j American embassy at P.erlin. Colonel' Tit henor was probably the ablest otil-. ; cial that has ever served in the eus- ] : taans collection department of the Unit-j jv l States government, lie was ona of the original nino general appraisers a> pointed by I're ndeut Harrison in . l.S!)0 and at tlie time of this appoint-j meat was assistant secretary of the t:c; ury, in ciiarge of customs.
