TALKED VOTE
TO DEATH

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The SEN
ate came within one" of agreeins 2
to vote next Tuesday on the entire
income tax amendment TO the tariff
bill, including the corporation tax
substitute. The compact was pre-
vented by the objection OF Senator
Buckley. His opposition aroused no
little feeling.
The proposition took the form OF a
request from Senator Flint, in charge
Of the tariff bill in ,ne absence OF
Senator Aldrich, for unanimous con-
sent TO vote on the Bailey -Cummlns
income tax amendment, and all the
amendments to the amendment at Il
clock next Tuesday with the un-
derstanding that the senate should
remain In session until all these ques-
tions should be disposed Of.
The suggestion created a general
furry in the Senate. Tle proceed
ings for a brief time took on the
appearance Oh ii general conference
at a sewing bee.
One Senator after another express
ed his consent 10 the proposition un-
til for a few moments it looked as
If all objections would be brushed
away. Just as the vice president
was stating the agreement tor the
third time Mr.. Buckeiey Ioomed up
and proceeded to say That he could
not agree that the vote should be
taken at the time specified.
He did not then give mis- reason and
he was Immediately beset by a dozen
or more senators in the hope Of pre-
vailinS upon him to desist from his
opposition.
it turned out that while ne was APP
posed TO the corporation tax am
"nunent. his real reason was that ne
expected to be absent from the city
next Tuesday and did not want the
vote recorded while he was away. He
expects to be in Connecticut with
the President next Tuesday.
1t was evident when Senator Flint
made his proposition that the dis
cussion of the insome tax question

eS for and against the measure, Mr..

alton tax, and Mr.. Root following on
the other side and advocating the
corporation tax, but opposing the in
come tax. Other speakers CT the day
We're Senator Owen and Senator
Ciapp, favoring income tax with in
cidental remarks by Senator Flint
and others.
1t was evident throughout the on
tire day that the corporation laN
question had failed to arouse as
much interest in the Senate as had
been expected and some suggestions
We're heard in support Of PROPOSE
ton looking to the pOstpOnement OF
the entire income tax and inheritance
tax until the neXt session.
The fact, however, that the Presl-
dent is strongly urging bhe tax on
corporations stood in the way ol the
acceptance OF any suggestion OF this
kind, and it was not seriously urged.
