today. when Senator CoclSrcll present
ed the conference report of the urgent
deficiency bill. he stated that an agree
mont had been effected on the senate
amendments except two. one Of which
decreased the number Of income tax
special agents from ten to three, the
other being Senator Hills amendment
In regard to questions to be asked Of
income tax payers.
Mr.. Cockrell stated that all the mem
bers OF the conference have been OF
the opinion that the adoption Of the
Hill amendment would serve to rcns
der the law far more inquisltorlal in
character than 1t would be without It,
Npr. Harris suggested, but did not
move, that the senate recede from Its
amendments limiting the special
agents to three. He stated that when
the first estimate for the inspectors was
sent in from the treasury n was based
on the supposltion that there would be
about $4,000 tax payers under the law,
but that actual investigation in twenty
six revenue districts had demonstrated
that in those twenty-six districts alone
there were $4,000 tax payers. render
ing 1t probable that the number
would reach 100000.
Mr.. Clark moved that the senate ac-
cept the disagreement, which motion
was agreed to, und then moved that
the senate recede from its lisagNelng
amendments.
Mr. Brlcc. in explaining his position,
stated that he, as one OF the confereea.

with the old law form, but they were
not required by the present law.
MIR. Clark took the same view Of
the matter,

Mr. nm hesitated only u moment at
the interruption, and added; 81 at least

The presiding officer was about to
