Customs Receipts Mixed, Proposals for Duty Revisions Emerges
The first quarter receipts from customs show two million and a ball less than last year, with October and November up slightly. The Secretary predicts revenue gains as demand for surplus enters Europe, while tables show a revenue loss from repeals on coffee and tea. A commissioner may report on import duties to Congress, and concerns arise about penalties and moiety law changes. Internal revenue rose by $600,000, and abolition of duties on checks and cosmetics is urged, plus a ten cent per gallon whiskey duty to simplify and boost yield.
