A Provision That Tax be Levied
Upon All Corporations Engaged

Adopted-The House Passes the
Dill to Remove Political Disa-
bilities Incurred by the Third
Section of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution.

WASHINGTON, June L. Marked
progress was made by the Senate to-
day toward the final disposition of the
war revenue measure. The committee
amendments on nearly sixty pages of
the bill We're passed upon. and the Sen
ate nearly reached the principal Ques-
tionS at issue between the contendlng
parties. These remaining questions
have already been discussed pretty
thoroughly, and aside from few set
speeches yet to be delivered, will not
arouse probably more than desultory
debate.
The interest of the session centered in
the action taken on the amendment of
German CD of Maryland, levying tax
of one-quarter of l per cent. on the
gross receipts of all corporations doing
a business exceeding $250,G00 a year.
BY a direct vote upon it, the amend
ment was rejected-21 to 81.
Pettigrew Pop.) of South Dakota Of
fered the German amendment with the
clause containing the $3.50, 900 exemp-
tion stricken out, but it was defeated
% to 81.
White CD of California then pro-
posed the German amendment SO modi
fled that it levied a tax of one-quarter
of l per cent. upon all corporations en-
gagged in the refining of sugar or pc
troleum. The California Senator ex-
planned that he desired to see a tax
levied on the American Sugar Trust
and the Standard Oil Company. The
amendment prevailed by a vote of 33 to
26. 1t was supported by twenty two
Democrats, four Republicans, five Pop
uliSts and two Silver Republicans, and
opposed by twenty-four Republicans
and two Democrats.
A bin for the protection of the home
stead settlers who entered the military
or naval service of the United States in
time of war was passed by the Senate
at the opening of to-days session.
The bill provides that the service in
the war with Spain shall be considered
as residence and work upon the land,
and that by enlistment the right shall
not be forfeited.
When the war revenue bill was taken
up the absence of quorum was sug
gested, and fifteen minutes were con-
sumed in assembling the requisite num-
ber of Senators.

remarks upon an amendment he had
offered to the pending bill. The amend
ment is as follows:
