Washington, Jan. 2.—lt is evidently the purpose of the finance committee ol' tiu> senate to give no consideration to the bill which passed the house at the last session making changes in the customs regulations, a proposed action growing out of the discussion of Ger man tariff and trade matters, at least until after a report is made by the commission sent to Germany at the in stance of President Roosevelt and Sec retary Root to investigate the subject. Tne committee has had the bill before it sine • the beginning of the present session, but no action lias been taken. There Is reason to believe that the senate committee on finance will move very slowly toward au agreement upon most of the provisions of the blil mod ifying the customs regulations. *Tbe impression prevails, even among mem bers of the house who permitted the bill to pass in the closing days of the last session without vigorous opposi tion, that some of the provisions of the measure at least will be stricken out before the bill is allowed to pass. Par ticular objection is made to that fea ture of the bill which proposes to make a change in the customs law which has stood for many years penalizing under valuations. it is believed that the plan proposed in this bill for permitting un dervaluations up to 5 per cent in cer tain cases would open the door t'oi fraud upon the rove s nd !.. >re or less dishonesty among the ira tors. While it is regarded as ■ ?ss i > that the strict enforcement of the iaw as it stands, with its penalty attaining to the slightest underva; .at', as. works hardships in some lua: tne the gen eral tendency of the law is believed to (t be good. In the interest of fair valua tions and of protection of the public revenues. Such investigation as has been made by the customs officials into the regulations which obtain in most of the commercial countries furnishes convincing proof that importers into the markets of the United States al ready have many advantages which are denied to importers into most of the leading commercial countries. So far as can be learned, the active pushers for tariff revision, who are seeking to induce Republican members to favor a plan for a party caucus of the house members to ascertain senti ment on the subject of a special ses sion of congress next spring for tariff revision purposes, have made no prog ress. Doubt is expressed by the best informed members from the west and northwest—members who would be consulted on any plan of this kind— that it will be Impossible for the Re publicans to agree upon a caucus pro gramme that will furnish any encour agement to the revisionists at this time. The fact Is that the tariff revision vk kAAAdj 60 YEAR :V TRADE MARKS DESIGNS COPY RIGHTS Ac.

C. question lias come (o confront sit nation in which practical politics plays a large part. One way of looking at the matter is just expressed by a lead ing western Republican, who believes* that the interests of the Republican party would be subserved if souie changes were made in certain tariff schedules, notably those relating to lumber and iron and steel: " v ,Yhilo it seems a long time to those who are vigorously urging tariff changes to wait until a s,. sion of congress im mediately following the presidential election before the subject is taken up 1 am very confident that the mattei should be deferred at least that long It would be impassible to secure changes of the tariff before the'next congress, and to drag this subject along into the nest presidential elec tion or have a new tariff hill placed be fore the country only a few months before the presidential election would be certain to jeopardize Republican prospects of electing the next presi dent. V.'e had an experience with the McKinley tariff which no sagacious pol itician would desire again to have. No matter how wisely the Republican par ty would act in revising the tariff .schedules, any law which it would cu ll ct 011 the subject would be open to exaggerated misrepresentation which there would he no tiuie to explain away. "Another tiling," said the member, ".should not l)e lost sight of by those who are urging action by the Repub lican party on the tariff at a special session next spring. The tariff sched ules are voluminous and contain so many separate items that we might be certain in advance that whatever changes the Republican pn-ty would male ii (!•? v rionu itoais those chatia >s v.-0:1 id 1 1 le: n'lt • ' I y the enemies of pi it ti >n, a;, i the r>. 11 oc ' ;irrty *v :ild conduct th:> re .'.

There is little doubt that President Roosevelt is impressed with the'force of argu ments alon< these lines, hence his pres ent course of refraining from urging action 011 the tariff question."
