proposition itself as q number Of Senators who
are disposed 10 regard an income tax with favor

Senator Bailey urged immediate consideration
Of his amendments and when Mr.. AIdrich would
not consent TO that sought to obtain from the
Rhode Island Senator promise OF direct vote
on the proposition. but without avail Mr.. Bailey
declared that he regarded an immediate vote es-
sential because OF the influences at work TO de-
feat the proposition. and he added that the peo-
pie were fully alive TO the fact that a reference
Of the proposition to the Judiciary Committee
would be merely an indirect method Of killing It,
Mr Aldrich replied. charging Mr. Bailey WIN
threatening Senators.

This means that there is now only one income

Democrats and an unknown number of Repub-
Goans are united.
By Mr.. CUMMINGS amendments the rate OF
tax is decreased from 3 TO > per cent and all
incomes under 5000 are exempted.
The Democrats voted unanimously for imme-
