Washington Nay 26.--The pro

income tax amendment to the tariff
bill. will endeaVor to secure the pas
sage of the amendment prepared by
Cummins and which will be offered
as soon as the debate on schedules

Including corporations, while the
Bailey amendment provides tax Of
per cent Senator Bailey insists
that he will fight any general agree
ment on the tariff bill until permis-
sion is given for a vote on his am
endment.
That the maximum and minimum
rate provision of the Senate bill may
prove unconstitutional on the ground
that it delegates Legislative power to
the executive, and that the tariff bill
as amended by the Senate may prove
null and void and the Dingley rates
be continued. were some of the as
sertions made by senator Shiveley OF
Indiana in a speech on the tariff.
THE rates prescribed in section 2
are to be the actual and prevailing
rates" said Mr.. Shiveley "The rates
conditional and contingent and could
only become operative as rates
chargeable against all dutiable i'm
ports wnen the present shall have
performed the physically, if not le-
gally, Impossible function assigned to
him by the provision in section 30
should the supreme court hold
that the provision putting in effect
the minimum rates by presidential
proclamation is an attempt to dele
gate legislative power to the eXecu
tive in contravention of the constitu
ton" said Mr. Shiveley, "and the
maximum rates would be the only
rates to be levied and collected un-
der the law"
should the courts hold the provis-
ions constitutional, Mr.. Shiveley de-
clared that the maximum rates would
remain in effect until the president
should have become satisfied as to a
longer series of things existing under
foreign governments and oy procia-
nation from time to time, make ex-
ceptions to the maximum rates and
