that has been directed at New England in the tariff
debate. Senator Lodge to-day reviewed the indus
trial progress made by his part OF the country He
defended the attitude Of the representatives from
New England. and insisted that New England de-
sired nothing which she was not willing that any
other part OF the country should have.

Saying that New England has always had a

Mr.. Lodge denied that this influence had been un-
due or improper. He recognized the Importance

called particular attention TO the political i'm

embargoes and non-ntercourse acts and the War
OF 1872 fell with crushing effect her. He said
that New England did not at that time favor the

publican income tax advocates announced the
opening OF the Senate session to-day that he would
consent to postpone action the income ques-
ton until after the tariff schedules disposed Of

would be made, but there was, nevertheless
debate before definite decision reached.

Mr. Bailey, and agreed to- The formal presenta-
ton made by MI Aldrich and 1t took the
form of unanimous consent agreement to defer
the entire income tax and corporation tax ques-
tions until the schedules out OF the way. At
that time Mr. Bailey's amendment for an income
tax and the committees substitute for 1t will be
taken up and kept before the Senate until they
shall have been disposed Of
Mr.. Bailey again sought assurance that no
ton would be made to refer the amendment to the
committe, but met with a prompt response
from Senator Hepburn who declared that he would
not agree to such a proposition. Mr.. Hepburn
added that he was opposed to any income or cor
poration tax "or any other subterfuge' as means
of paying the expenses of the government
Il still continue to march along the line OF
high protective tariff he said declaring that he
would not go beyond the custom houses and the
internal Offices Of the country raise
money for the governments expenses.
Senator Borah suggested to Mr.. Aldrich that the
Finance Committee should not delay in bringing In
its plan for corporation tax, considerable time
would be required TO dispose OF it.
Il may we'll say as any time" replied
the Rhode Island Senator. that the committee has
requested the Attorney General to prepare an
amendment, and under the direction of the Presi-
dent he will do giving no doubt, provision
largely rejecting the views Of the administration.

Mr. Bailey then suggested the irregularity Of the
proceeding II understand" he said that bills to
raise revenue originate in the House Of Represen-
tatives and in the White House"
Replying that it not a question OF raising
revenue, Mr.. Aldrich said the committee merely
wanted the Presidents proposition in concrete

The Texas Senator said he had idea that the
Attorney General or the Finance Committee would
prepare any amendment that he could support but
he reserved the right to withdraw his amendment
If he should be wrong in that suppos ton
The amendment then allowed to go over, In
