The tax bill was resumed, the question
being upon the income tax.
In the discussion upon the income tax a
great diversity Of opinion was shown. The
speeches We're of five minutes length. :
| Mr.. Schenck closed the discussion. He
said the committee had proposed to reduce
the income tax by exemption to 81 900,
winch would be reduction of nearly &C..
OO, 600. His own opinion was that this was
about as much as could be safely done at
thls tme. de was not at all prepared to
l II.
| the year after, and SO on, these reductions
might not be continued. Gentlemen were
not to be misled by supposing that all that
was to be proposed by the Committee of
Ways and Means in the shape of reduc-
! ton of taxes was included In this bill. He
had no objection in stating distinctly, SO
that there might be no misunderstanding,
that he had section or two prepared, to be
offered at the close Of the bill, to
reduce internal tax at once, and
for other purposes, which would
so amend, by short provisions, the tariff as
to take off some twenty-three or twenty
| off the internal revenue bill. If the propo-
sition to strike out the income tax should
prevail, he wanted gentlemen to remember
that they would not only strike out $780,.
WO, 600 of revenue loss, which could not be
afforded, but he would strike out only the
provisions made i'll law, and only such as he
thought could be made in law for taxing
incomes on United States bonds. In con.
clusion, MIR. Schenck moved the previous
question.
The previous question was seconded, and
by an agreement the vote on the sections
relative to the income tax, with all the
amendments, was postponed until TO-
morrow. .. .. -.s,
Mr.. Beck, of Kentucky, offered an amend
ment to the 44th section which would tax
the interest on all Government bonds per
cent.
On a division on this the Speaker an
nounced the vote to be 80 to Is.
| Mr.. Willard demanded the ayes and noes,
remarking that this was taxing the United
States bonds held abroad, and was to that
extent reputation. 81.
Mr.. Allison moved an adjournment, which
was carried-93 to So.
| The House then, at ten minutes past
O'Clock, adjourned amid much excitement.
l. Scndte.-Mr. Flanagan introduced a re-
solution ravoring the construction. an in.
ternational railroad.
Mir. Harris introduced a resolution direct.
ing the Committee Of Commerce to considcf
| the reconstruction of the lcvces on the Mis-
| sissippi river destroyed during the war.
