the effect is to take hides from the

Senator Clapp objected to the duty
on hides, asserting that the duty
would tend to perpetuate the beef

more for shoes In order to strike that
trust

self and most Of the Democratic and
Republican income tax advocates, an.
nounced at the opening of the senate
today that he would consent to the
postponement of the income tax ques-
ton until after the tariff schedules
are disposed of. After the debate had
proceeded for half an hour, an order
postponing the subject was suggest
ed by Mr.. Bailey and agreed to. The
formal presentation Of the matter was
made by Senator Aldrich, and 1t took
the form Of request for unanimous
consent to defer the entire income
tax and corporation tax questions un-
til the tariff schedules are out of the
way. At that time Mr.. Batiey'i

Senator Borah suggested to Mr..
Aldrich that the finance committee
should not delay in bringing in its
plan for a corporation tax, as consid-
cradle time would be required to dis
pose Of II.
Il may as we'll say now as any
time," replied the Rhode Island sen
ator. that the committee has re-
quested the attorney general to pre-
pare an amendment and under the d.
rection of the president he will do
so, giving US, no doubt, provision
largely rejecting the views Of the ad-
ministration. As soon as it is con,
sidered by the committee 1t will be
reported to the senate and I hope
that 1t will not be later than next
Monday morning." Senator Bailey
suggested the irregularity of the pro-
ceedings. Il understand" he said,
that bills to raise revenue originated
in the house of representatives and
not in the white house." Replying
that 1t was not a question of raising
revenue, Aldrich said the committee
merely wanted the presidents propo-
Bition in concrete form to consider it.
Just before adjournment yesterday,
The senate adopted, "A to 80, the
amendment of the senate committee
on finance fixing duty Of 81 ton
on print paper, in place of the house
rate Of 81 a ton, but the other amend
ments to the wood pulp and print
paper schedule had not been acted
upon when the senate adjourned at Z
o'clock.
The discussion of the schedules
was interrupted by colloquy between
the Democratic senators and when the
senate returned to it's regular line Of
business the Stone amendment for
free paper and free wood pulp was
voted down without division.
LaF0llette Hedges.
Senator LaFollette proposed an
amendment continuing the 81 q ton
rate on print paper until July 1, 1919,
when the 81 ton rate of the house
should go into effect. He did this, he
said. because the paper mills Of Wis
consin could not promptly adjust
themselves to the 81. rate without be-
ing given time. Being removed from
their spruce wood supply, he wanted,
he said, to give them time to change
their methods of manufacture so that
they could eventually use other wood
available for their mills for the maxi
ing of other classes of paper.
Senator Clapp, one of the Repuoli-
can progressives, declared his :nten-
ton of standing by the finance c:ln-
mittee in voting for a duty on print
paper. Saying that the price of paper
had not increased as had other pro-
ducts during recent years, Mr.. Brown
interrupted to cite figures in the Mann
report showing an increase in price
in 1907 from $40 to $50 a ton.
What is the price this year?" in
quired Mr.. Aldrich.
Replying that the price was lie
tie less than 1907, the Nebraska sena-
tor met fiat denial on the part Of
both Senators Aldrich and Gallinge7
that print paper had never sold for
$50 ton.
1.-THE prices in 1907" said Mr.. Gal
linger, were less than In any year
since 1899. with the exception of oHe
year."
"The price is not so high now" sa:d
Mr.. Brown. because they are under
