porations. He made brief speech en-
the subject. The resolution went over
and the tariff bill was taken up.
Mr.. Hill took the floor lie said that
day before yesterday would b come
known in history as populist day, allud
ing to the speeches OF Kyle and Allen.
He said no attempt had been made to
attach the repeal OF tie state bank tax
or enact free cOinege bill in this bill,
| both of which was endorsed by many
democrats and considered part of their
platform, while especial efforts had been
made to 90 outside of the platform and
incorporate an income tax in the bill.
Another system of taxation that opsned
such broad field OF fraud aud evasion
and none offered such temptati ns. If
the tax should BE- imposed ihore was no
reason why the exemption should be
$1,000 when ia monarchial countries
where this tax IS levied the exem Dlion is
but $3.50 and even down to S27l. Was
It to compensate for the high cost of
living here? lie believed that the high
er the exemption, the harder it would
be 10 defend this tax.
Having spoken for nearly two hours.
Mr.. Hill gave way to Mr.. Gallinger. who
also opposed the inc0me tax.
Then MIR. Hill offered an amendment
limiting the exemption tax incomes to
less than $1,000, which he first offered
yesterday on behalf OF the finance COM
mittee but VIII: ch he afterward withdrew;
| lost. so to 80. HIPS motion for a $500
limit, lost; 25 to SO.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Gallinger's
remarks Mr.. We withdrew his amend
mebt to reduce the exemption from
$1,000 to $4,000 and allowed MIR. Hill to
move 10 reduce from $1,000 t. $1,000.
The notion was defeat d. Is to AZ.
An amendment by Mr.. Hoar to in
clude judges of the United Stat courts

was agreed to without obisction.
Mr.. Hoar offered an amendment TO

and Widows, lost, y to %. Mr.. Hoar
offered an amendment providing the tax

Mr.. Sherman Inquired whether any
estimate could be D ade as to the pro-
bable yield OF revenue from the tax
Mr.. Vest replied the general estimate
was s3O,OCO,OOO.
Mr.. b then moved that interest on
United States bonds { xempt by the
provisions Of the bill), be subject to an
income tax.
