Few believe that it will be in the bill when it finally passes the House, and that If by rhanre it should survive the ordeal of discussion and of vote, it will not be incontinently kicked out in the Senate. There are thirty-three states in the Union which have an inheritance tax. each and all of which are at this writing in opposition. And that opposition is felt today in Washington, though barely twenty-four hours has elapsed since the knowledge that it was a provision of the bill was obtained.

Governor Hughes and Mayor McCIellan. Republicans were mingled indiscriminately with Democrats, and all were Intent upon the desire to show adequate appreciation to the work of Cleveland.

There were on the stage Richard Olney, Mr. Cleveland's secretary of state; Levi p. Morton, formerly governor; William F. Harrlty. formerly chairman of the Democratic national romraittee; Andrew Carnegie, Judge Alton B.

Carnegie Hall was decorated with WEATHER FORECAST the two hundred participating feel perfectly at home, and each a neighbor in all th.at the term implies. The party, which was made up of those who went on the excursion given under the auspices of the Republican County Committee to attend Ihe inauguration of President Taft, as told In the Eagle ot yesterday, came by special train from Mineola. accompanied by the Port Washington Band. A delegation from Queens Borough, headed by Postmaster Rlpper-ger of Long Island City, was included in the party. Wearing high hats and rravanet coats, and carrying umbrellas, the party paraded through the village, proceeded by boat across tho bay and marched up the hill to the Roosevelt residence.

The former Presidpnt received the party at the front porch of his home. By his side was his son Hermit; his former secretary, William Loeb. now Collector ot the Port of New York; Congressman William W. Cocks of Westbury. Congressman W.ird of Westchester and ex-Congressman Littauer.

Supervisor C. Chester Painter of Oyster Bay greeted the former President for the party, saying it was on the programme for the members to call at the White House when in Washington attending the inauguration, but circumstances prevented. He expressed a hearty wish for hinwclf and the neighbors that wherever he went the former President would receive as cordial a welcome as at home. Addressing Supervisor Painter as "chief neighbor." ihe ex-President said he was deeply touched by the body of neighbors brings about, two are wholly speculative and can only be determined in the operation of the law and the passage of time, while ihe third is so unpopular that it is quite likely thai it will be dropped out. And thus is a fact presented in all human probability, that the bill as it stands, or will stand before it Is sent to the Senate, will provide, for a deficiency in the revenues.

The bill, as presented to the House, contemplates adeficiency. This is not declared, but it ran be properly assumed when it is found that provisions are made to temporarily meet the deficiencies of this year and of the next fiscal year. In the firBt place, the $40,000,000 taken from the Treasury to pay for the Panama Canal is to be restored by returning the pro-reeds from the sale of bonds authorized by the bill and by again empowering the secretary of the Treasury to sell one-year certificates, which shall this time be-nf the amount of $250,000,000. There is in these provisions the confession that a revision of the tariff downward creates a deficiency. Speculation as to what will result from the operation of the law may go as far as it will, but.

the fart, remains that the bill confesses a deficiency In the provision for temporary expedients to meet it. An Extraordinary Situation at Present. In some respects, it is an extraordinary situation. In 1876, the platform on whirh Tilden stood hail for a single plank "a tariff for revenue only." In this day and generation of expenditures, the Dingley act, frankly a protective law in its application to the present volume of imports, does not bring in sufficient revenue. Under the old Tilden war cry, the protectionists might have revised the tariff upward on the plea that It was "a bill for revenue only," and on that plea revenue reformers would have turned to efforts to reduce the expenses of government so as to set in cry again their urgency of reduction as an Issue.

The Ways jmore than two-thirds of that amount? It is a natural question and the answer is not forthcoming in such terms as carry understanding with it. And understanding must be had before you can determine whether the claim that under the new bill $300,000,000 can be raised is justified. The first understanding to be reached is that the bill is not solely what it is popularly termed a tariff bill.

There is much traffic, and at times the congestiou is troublesome. With the great increase in the development of Corona, public spirited citizens believe that the road ought to be widened to 60 feet.

The borotiKli authorities agreed with them, and a pet ii ion as presented, to that effect yesterday to the Local Board. When the resolution cume up, Alderman Flanagan, who represents the Corona district, moved that the resolution be changed to read "from Hampton street to Semiuoio In other words, from the beginning of Elmhurst Village to the Flushing meadows.

We want to straighten this i-oa-l while it is being widened, and we want to have it 80 feet wide. The officials of my parish want this street widened by the use of Lurting street. To do this it will be necessary to give away some very valuable parish land, and al6o to remove tha bonesof some of the pioneers of the town, but we are ready to do that."

And it was made, too, in the face of the fact that a deficiency must be created in the reduction. Temporary Expedients Made. On the other side was the fart that provision must be made for a revenue. That must yet be made that is. the deficiency must be provided for.

It looks as if the and Means Committee had turned this duty over to the House II self The only provision so far suggested is that of borrowing money to make It up. which is poor financing when there are other resources at hand; and by a direct lax which will when put on top of existing taxes in thirty-three states be an oppression. All of which leads to the belief that other means must, be suggested. The idea of a stamp tax Is proposed and Is finding favor even among bankers. The income tax idea is peeking out.
