La TOILETTE FOR

WISCONSIN SENATOR WILL BE IN
FIGHT WHEN SENATE CON-
SIDERS BILL.
INSURGENTS EXPECT TO WIN.
Counting on United Democrats, They Be-
lieve Bailey Measure Can Be
Pushed Through.
ALDRICH SPEECH IS A SURPRISE

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2O.-It
is evident from the activity of opponent
and antagonists of the income tax
proposition to ascertain the strength of
the other that this question will furnish
the sharpest contest to be waged in the
Senate during the tariff revision session
Of Congress.
Democrats Are Unanimous.
In view of the fact that the Democrats
are said to be unanimous for an income
tax measure the leaders of the ''insur-
gent" Republican faction appear to be
confident of victory. On the other hand
opponents Of the income tax idea say the
Democrats are not united and declare
that some of the insurgent strength for
additional internal taxes viii be lost the
moment senators are convinced that the
pending bill will produce sufficient rev.
enues for the needs of the government.
Among the Republicans declared to
be in favor of an income tax are Sena-
tors Borah. Brown, Burkett, Clapp,
Cummins. Dixon, Gamble, Guggenheim,
La Toilette and Nelson. In addition to
these. some of the insurgents are claim
ing Senators Jones, Bourne, Hepburn,
Johnson of North Dakota, and Dolliver.
If the votes of all these senator's should
be cast for an income tax provision they
would be more than sufficient to pass it
in the Senate unless a break should oc-
cur in the Democratic ranks.
Aldrich Springs Surprise.
The burden of Senator Aldrich's
speech in the Senate yesterday was an
effort to show that additional internal
taxes are not needed to provide for the
operating expenses of the government.
His argument came as a surprise to
many senators, for it had been accepted
as true that more revenues than the
pending bill would raise are to be re-
CURED annually for the next few years
