VOTES ON INCOME TAX
Senate Rejects Amendment
Offered by Mr.. Bailey.
MAJORITY OF NINETEEN
Corporation Provision Secure as Part
Of the Bill.
REGARDING CUSTOMS COURT
Tribunal Attacked as in Interest of
Cities in Which It
Would Sit.
CUSTOMS COURT

The income tax question, including the
corporation tax provision and inheritance
taxes, received much attention in the Sem
ate late yesterday, and the straight in
come takers were afforded the opportunity
on which they have SO long insisted to
get direct vote in favor of the income
tax as opposed to the corporation tax.
Senator Bailey moved his income tax
amendment as substitute for the
finance committees provision, and with
out debate a vote was taken on 1t, and it
was rejected by majority of 10, the bal
lot standing % to Al.
With the corporation tax provision thus
securely established as part of the tar
if bill, there was considerable effort to
amend it, and in one notable case this
effort was successful. Senator Clapp of
Minnesota has been severe critic OF the
provision ever since its introduction be-
cause it excluded holding companies.
Senator Clapp Renews Criticism.
He renewed his criticism and was sup
ported in his views by other senator's.
The ultimate result was the acceptance
by Senator Aldrich of an amendment by
MIR. Clapp striking out the exemption Of
such companies. Assurance was also given
that every effort would be made to re-
tain the amendment In conference.
Next TO the income tax the discussion
of the days work. The court was at
tackled as in the interest of the cities in
which 1t would sit and the government,
and as opposed to the interests of the i'm
porters.
Senator Clapp intimated that the court
would owe its origin largely to the places
where its sessions would be held. Sena-
tor Borah asserted that 1t was an I'M
peachment of the present judiciary. and
senator Cummins expressed the opinion
that the court would be unconsciously

Senators Aldrich and Lodge defended
