PROCEEDINGSO CONGRESS
SOME OF ITS IMPORTANT NEW MEASURES

Senate Passes War Revenue Repeal Bill and
Presidents Protection and the House the
River and Harbor Bill-schley Bills and
Recommendations Indefinitely Postponed
Democrats Want Sympathy for Beers Shown
by Congress Discussion Of the Oleomarga-
rine Bill.
The Senate Friday passed the bills
for the repeal of the war revenue taxes
and for the protection of the president
of the United States. The first bill
passed without division and all amend
ments to the second were rejected.
After the action on the revenue bill,
one appropriating 1925, 600 for marine
hospital at Buffalo, N. Y, was passed.
The House passed, with the exact
amount of appropriations which it
brought from the committee, $50, 688, :
266, the river and harbor bill which
had been under consideration during
the week.
The House committee on naval af-
fairs adopted the report of the sub
committee, to which were referred sew
eral bills and resolutions in relation to
Admiral Schley, recommending that

postponed and no further action be
taken.
The Senate Monday began consider
alton of the oleomargarine bill. This
measure places a tax of ten cents a
pound on oleomargarine colored in I'M
itation of butter, and reduces the
present tax of two cents pound on
oleomargarine to one-quarter of one
cent pound in its uncolored FORM
Mr.. Proctor of Vermont, chairman of
the committee on agriculture, ex
planned the measure to the Senate.
He said there was no disposition on
the part of the advocates of the meas
ure to tax legitimate industry out of
existence. He was satisfied that the
measure was constructed along the
lines of fairness and was entirely Just
to all interested persons. He said the
evidence showed that the bulk of the
oleomargarine manufactured reaches
the consumer as pure butter. One of
the objects of the bill was to prevent
this deception and to insure the detec
ton of any frauds attempted on the
consumers of butter. The Kentucky
election contest was the subject of
discussion in the House.
MI Money OF MISSISSIPPI made a
sharp attack upon the pending cleo
margarine bill in the Senate Tuesday,
pronouncing it a proposition to tax out
of existence one industry for the bene
fit of another and was protection

of 10, settled the contested election
case by unseating Mr.. Rhea of Ken

will be sent to Con-

resolution by the President, who it is
said, hopes their publication will re
suit in Gen. Miles's retirement.
