now believed that they will offer pro-
vision for a tax on all producing indus
tries, another for an inheritance tax
and a third for non-interest bearing
treasury notes. 1t is also probable that
an amendment will be suggested Tor
the issuance of $100000,00o in green
backs to take the place of those out
standing which are supposed to nave
been destroyed. They will seek to have
the bond provision of the bill eliminat-
ed entirely on the plea that the time
has not yet arrived for bond issue.
There is a possibility that the Re
publican members of the committee
NAV amend the bond provision as there
is more or less dissatisfaction with it
among Republican senators. One of
the changes suggested is a reduction of
the amount of the bonds. When the
will insist on having time for the varl-
Gus factions to state the reasons for
their position and it is now predicted
that two weeks will be required for de-
bate. While they will insist upon the
elimination of the bond feature, they
will all state that they will vote for
bonds later of the war should be pro-
longed sufficiently to requie their issu
ance.
The programme of the Senate until
the revenue bill is reported is uncer-
tain The post office appropriation bill
probably will be reported and passed,
and the omnibus claims bill may be
taken up.
There is no business of great impor-
lance to come before the House during
the week unless the appropriation
committee brings in an emergency war
appropriation measure. 1t was the in
ton of Chairman Cannon to make the
emergency appropriation part of the
general deficiency bill, but as that bill
might be delayed some time he may
bring in a separate measure.
There are also number of confer
cnce reports to be disposed of and these
may occupy the time of the House dur
ing the week. Several appropriation
bills are still in conference, but reports
are not expected during the week. The
Alaska land bill remains to be disposed
of and there are a number of minor
matters that may be taken for con-
sideration.
