INCOME TAX IS
VERY PROBABLE
Western Republican Senators
Will Line Up With the
Democrats.

Washington, April 20.--It is evident
from the activity of opponents and sup
porters Of the income tax proposition to
ascertain the strength of the other side.
this question will furnish the sharpest
contest TO be waged in the senate dur
ing the tariff revision session Of con-
gress. In view of the fact that the
Democrats are said to be unanimous for
an income tax measure. the leaders of
the ''insurgent" Republican faction ap-
pear to be confident of victory.
On the other hand, opponents of the
income tax idea assert that the Demo-
Gratis are not united and declare that
some of the insurgent strength for adj
ditional internal taxes viii be lost the
moment senators are convinced that the
pending bill will produce sufficient rev.
enues for the needs of the government.
Among the Republicans declared to
be in favor of an income tax are Sen
atoTs BOrah. Brown. Burkett, Clapp,
Crawford, Cummins, Dixon, Gamble,
Guggenhein, LaFollette and Nelson. In
addition to these, some of the insur-
gents are claiming Senator's Jones,
Bourne, Hepburn, Johnson of North
Dakota and DOlliver- If the votes of all
Of these senators should be cast for az
income tax provision they would be
more than sufficient to pass it in the
senate unless a break should occur in
the Democratic ranks.

Chicago, April 2O.-Bulls in wheat
were leaderless today. and a dashing
bear raid wrought considerable confu-
sion in the pit where July, closing at
SLIPS. showed a net loss of 35sd3Stc
The raid weeded out small margin

It's just a natural swing of the spec

only natural" said the bulls.
Why didn't the Patten crowd sup
port the market" was a question put
by small spectators who had pinned
their faith to the Patten position. and
expected that the bull leader would
take care that prices did not run away.
No Responsibility.

will take care of the price. He has nei-
Their made nor unmade prices, and has
no responsibility in the matter"
Whether Patten purchases were made
is a matter for conjecture, although
there was an unconfrmed report that
the bull leader bought heavily at the
decline and stopped July before it got
beyond $L12A in its headlong tumble.
Customers of the Patten house, how
ever. declare that there was nothing
throughout the day to indicate that the
leading trader had taken any interest
in the market. Apparently he left it to
its fate, although his eyes seldom left
the blackboard where quotations are
marked up.
