A Stumbling Block in the
Way Of Tariff Bill.
But Pres. Tatt's Insistence
That Bill Be Soon Passed
Nay Cause Real Test Of Strength
- On That Point 10 Go Over.

Washington, April 25.-Frequcnt ut
terances By President Taft expressive
Of the nope that Congress Will hasten
TIE massage of the tariff bill so that
business may be restored tn its normai
conditions atfhe earliest possible day
NAV postpone the real test OF strength
over the income tax proposition.
At present sentiment in the Senate is
pretty evenly divided over an income
TAX amendment to the Dill but there
are many differences of opinion among
those favOring the idea as To details
of the legislation. Some senators De
licve that it is impractlcable TO TAN
incomes of less than 5000 while others
believe it will be necessary To go as
low as $4,000. There are others t"at
argue that fixing minimum at any
figure will result in unfair discrlmina-
tons Furthermore man% OF the cham
pions of the proposal to tax incomes
take the position that it will require
time to work out satisfactory plan
to reach corporations.
ADDED to all of these complication:
is the fact that estimates complications
il the fact that estimates Of possible
revenues from tax on Incomes differ
to such an extent that the whole Idea
is placed by many in the realr: or en-
pertinent. Many members Of Congress
believe with President TAFT that the
income tax amendment should not be
adopted unless it can be shown that IT
is needed to produce revenue. Mem
beers o. the finance committee declare
that the Payne bill as amended by tho
committee will yield sufficient reVc-
nues for the operating expenses of the
Cove rnmcnt.
If the truth of this statement is "s
tablshed it will turn a number of votes
away from the income tax amendment
unless the bill is materially amcnde,
at once as to reduce the rates on nr"es-
saries and likewise the revenues from
imports on all such articles as to oFfSe'
the collections that would be made up'
on i'm Congress.
