Iowa, who declared the American peo-

elsewhere than I'm the house had been
largely instrumental In placing the in
creases in the bill. This assertion clio
tied loud Republican applause.

tested that the Republican party would
not be true to its pledges if the bill in
its amended form should become law.

was "a subterfuge. a pretext and 4
sham placed in the bill to defeat the
income tax.

Clark of Missouri, the minority leader,
as he closed the debate on his side. He

bill is worse, and judging the future by
the past, the result Of the IabOrs of the
conference committee will be worse
