Washington, June 2S.-Only eleven
Vice-President Stevenson raped to
order. Twenty minutes were spent
awaiting the appearance of a quorum.
The debate on the income tax pro-
visions OF the tariff bill was resumed.
The pending amendment was that of
Mr. Allison to exempt corporations,
companies or associations having a
capital stock of less than 100000.
Mr. Hill Immediately took the floor.
The theory Of this income tax, he said,
was that the incomes from individual
Investments, unless they exceeded $4,-
600, should not be subject to the tax.
But no such limitations existed as 10
corporations.
He coulu see no reason 10y the dis
tinction. He thought some amend
ments had been adopted that would
give small corporation the same ex-
emption granted to individuals. Mr..
Vest, In reply to Mr.. Hill, said that
under the present system of taxation,
the tariff system, the citizens paid up
ON consumption. 1t was unjust and
unequal. The poor paid practically as
much as the rich. Property and in
comes should pay for the protection Of
the government.
Mr.. Allison finally decided to with
draw his amendment altogether. Mr.,
all lost again.
Mr.. Allison again renewed his amend
ment and 1t was again lost.

exempting savings banks organized on
the mutual plan solely for the benefit
of their depositors. Accepted.

getting to be just too brutal for any
