REPEATING WAR TAXES.
Continued from, first page.

Finance Committee, and who. therefore. cannot
array much influence against IL. II was said by
them however, that Of course there is a bare
possibility that the bill will be amended by
the Senate, but that this was likely TO be done
only in the improbable event that something
now entirely Unforeseen should occur to make
extraordinary expenditures necessary. They
were particular to declare 1t is worthy OF note
that neither an isthmian canal bill a river
and harbor bill would IN any sense be regarded
IS measures entaing extraordinary eXpendi-
lures" They said that If a canal bill should be
passed at this session il would not provide for
he Immediate expenditure Of more than $1,000
900 or S1000000O, and that river and harbor
bill that carried more than S50000O00 would
stand no more show Of getting through this Con-
gress than similar measure stood in the last
Congress.
In other words to-day's developments indi-
cate almost certainly that all the remaining war
taxes will be removed at this session, and that
neither river and harbor nor canal legislation
necessarily will be endangered thereby.

 Still is Not a
 Pessimist.

Washington, Dec. N.-(Special)-The Washington Post today prints remark able interview with Senator Morgan, which it epitomizes in these words:
 At his home on John Marshall Place yesterday, Senator, Morgan of Alabama gave his views of trusts and trust legisla- ton to a representative of The Post. Though unable to take an optimistic view of the situation as 1t exists today, he is not pessimist. On the question of trusta he declared the leaders of both the Re- publican and Democratic Party are guilty of hypocrisy and deceit, neither party ap- rarently being more desirous than the other of finding and applying a cure. That cure will be fodnd. however. and that 1t would be applied effectively he does not doubt. But before that devoutly to be wished for consummation he fears the chastising rod will be laid heavily on the American people. Out of this chas- Using, he thinks, will come an awakenins and a political revolution that may sweep out of existence both of the great parties as they are now organized"
