ECKERSALL COMPARES OLD

says:

There were many fundamental

any team was taught how to meet

MAY PROVOKE
CONTEST :
A SHARP FIGHT is EXPECTED ON
INCOME TAX AMENDMENT
TO TARIFF BILL,

Washington, May 1S.-That there
over the proposition to refer to the
judiciary committee the amendment
to the tariff bill, introduced by Sena-
tor Bailey, providing for an income
tax, is indicated by coalition Of the
democrats and some of the progress
sive" republicans, which became
known today
The vote will be close, probably the
closest that will occur in the making
of the tariff bill. .-
The democratic strength is 81 votes,
all pledged to support the amendment.
Mr.. Bailey is counting upon is or
II republican votes for the amend
ment. Fifteen would be sufficient if
the democrats would vote solidly for
the amendment.
On the other hand, tine "conserva-
tive'' republicans, in charge of the
tariff bill, say that they made some
inroads upon the progressive" camp,
and that on the question of referring
the subject of an income tax to the
judiciary committee for report at
the next regular session, they already
have 45 votes pledged.
Until recently the democrats and
progressive" republicans We're far
apart over the form of the bill. Sena-
tors Cummins and Borah, who We're
the chief republicans advocates for an
income tax, favored graduated tax,
and opposed tax on corporations. As
they surrendered these contentious, IN
order to get vote. it was said that
an agreement would be reached upon
the principal features Of the Bailey
amendment.
The plan is to provide for Il flat tax
or 2 or 3 per cent upon individual
and corporate incomes above $1,000. iii
order that there shall be no doubh
taxation, provision will be made fol
deductions where the tax upon corpor.
alton stock has been paid through the
corporation itself.

is the way he does everything: he is
as thorough in selling coffee as he is
in his committee work, and he is as

he is in the promotion of some spe-

is a type of the everyday booster; he
is at it all the time. He does not wait

he gives on the scales in his store.
Mr.. Breitenstein has recently at

that he is a live wire that makes him
