Washington, March 20.-Amone
the members of the house today the
question has arisen whether the in
surance tax applies to life insurance.
They say no specific reference is made
TO II. Many are OF the opinion that
insurance ought not be included in
the taxables.
The opposition to the Payne tariff
bill is crystallizing about the maxi
mum and minimum plan and against
this, the fight Is to be made in the
house The leaders, including Payne
and Speaker Cannon. are backing up
this feature by pointing out that 1t

Republican national platform, and

under the party whip and by caucus
pledge, II necessary.
Objection to 1t is based on the
ground that II has so involved tariff
legislation, that not even the experts
can tell exactly at this time what the
effect OF the proposed legislation may
be. Tariff men in the department of
commerce and labor are working on
the Payne bill and promise TO have
II out in a few days with a full ex-

Pending this report members Of
the house will delay the formation OF
combinations TO bring about changes
In the bill. II Is admitted generally
that the bill cannot pass congress in
lts present shape, and that much will
have to be done to clear II up.
Patchwork Measure.
Senator Cummins, of Iowa. said
that the bill was but a temporary
measure and patchwork at best. 1t
will be left to the senate to frame up
and eQualize. Following this line
there has been much talk to the eff
feet that the published bill had been
given forth for the purpose OF testing
the sentiment of the country. and that
many changes of major importance
are to be made in the perfected bill,
to be presented to President Taft
for his approval.

TAG DAY PROVES A GREAT SUCCESS In
SPITE OF BAD WEATHER AFTER NOON

Tag Day dawned grey and cloudy
this morning. and the sun refused to
shine. but the sale of tags went on
merrily, and few were the pedestrians
who did not wear tags. The supply
OF tags melted away rapidly, and be-
fore noon rush order was given for
the printing Of 1900 extra tags. The
young women with tags for sale were
out on the streets early this morning.
The day was a repetition OF the
first Tag Day. although rain did not
fall this morning and interfere with
the sale. The workers were busy as
bees and the public responded gen.
erously. Several tags were sold for
s. and many for ST. although the
majority were disposed OF at the nom
inal price of 10 cents. The Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy were encour-
aged at the sale OF the tags, and II
is estimated that 5000 will be taken
in today for the Confederate monu-
ment In Lang park.
Tag Day Incidents.
Tag Day abounds in human inter
est stories, II the taggers could just
stop tagging long enough to tell their
experiences.
One young woman, the daughter OF
a prominent Confederate veteran. was
accosted early by an elderly man who
paid her IS for tag. She felt de
