 UNDERWOOD BILLS Consider Free Sugar and
 Excise Tax Measures IS LITTLE OPPOSITION
MT. Underwood Announces That the Bills Will Be Reported to the House Within a Few Days.
 Rewrote the Tax Law

Washington. March IA bill to put sugar on the free list eliminating s5S,- 000,00 In annual customs revenue and another to extend the present corpor- ation tax to include individuals and CO., partnerships doing business of S5ooo a year or over were ratified tonight by the democratic caucus of the House.
 Is an Income Tax
 The excise tax, so called by the ways and means counnittee, Is In eHect lh- come tax The bill Is so drawn that it is expected to comply with the su- preme courts decision against the con- stitutionality of an income tax Its eff feot would be to tax every person who earns more than $5O00 a year or in excess of 5000 at the rate of per cent. -
 An estimate of Chairman Underwood and members of the ways and means committee is that the proposed excise tax would bring in a revenue of be- tween $50,000,0Q0 and $60,0O0,00O year.
 Placing sugar on the free list, the democratic leaders estimate, will re- duce the price of sugar to the consumer about a cent and a half pound.
 Guarded Secret Close
 The secret that members of the ways and means committee had been so close ly guarding for several days was the provision to extend the corporation tax. In the caucus that bill was not seri- ously opposed.
 The free sugar bill, however, was bit terly assailed by Representative from Louisiana, the cane sugar state, and rep resentatives from sugar beet growing states who were absolved from the bond of the caucus. No roll call on the ratifi- cation Of the bills was demnaded.
 Rewrote Corporation Tax Law
 Majority Leader Underwood announced that the bills will be reported to the House in a few days.
 we simply took the corporation tax law and rewrote it to include individuals and partnerships said Mir. Under- wood tonight The bill. to illustrate, sim ply means that l. whose business is that of a member of Congress will pay to the government 1 per cent of my salary in- come over s5a00.

SIEGE OF SYCAMORE HILL BEGINS EARLY Colonel Roosevelt Returns
 to His Home HE WILL TALK PLAIN Will Do His Utmost to Prevent Issue Becoming a Personal One With
 President Taft-Lines Will
 Be Sharply Drawn a
HE WILL TALK PLAIN

Oyster Bay, N. T., March 1.-The seize of sagamore Hin began here today when Colonel Roosevelt made his first appear ance in his home town since his declara- tiop that he woudI accept the presiden- tial nornmation. The fuil fiedged battalion of correspondents came down from New York with the colonel ready for the cam paign from now until the republican na- tional convention meets.
 Willing to Talk
 For months the colonel has declined to be interviewed while at Sagamore HAl. but today he signalized his entrance into the campaign by lifting the embargo. He was perfectly willing to talk but said there was nothing to say just now. The impression gathered was that he was going to do some plain talking before the fight ends,
 Colonel Roosevelt, pressed for an ex- pression of opinion concerning the state ment given out last night by Senator Dixon. in which Presiden Taft's admin istration was criticised sharply, said he had not read the statement. He had heard, however. lDdL tOt1tlpi ul Itdci dl ohltc- holders in the south was charged and said that when he was President he had never used his influence with 6fficeholders for his own advantage.
 Lines Will Be Sharply Drawn
 The impression was general that the lines of battle would be drawn more sharply as a result of the broadsde fired by the Roosevelt forces at President Taft. Colonel Roosevelt made it clear, however, that he intended to do everything in his power to avoid the appearance of attack ing the President and to prevent the issue from becoming a personal one. At his office today Colonel Roosevelt talked over plans for the campaign with Amos Pin chot and Governor stubbs of Kansas.
 Colonel Roosevelt said he expected to snend the next fortnight largely at Sagamore Hill His movement after that will depend upon how the cam naign shapes itself. It is Colonel Roose- velt's desire 10 avoid long speaking trips. if possible, but he intends to make short trips for single speeches from time to time. He Is being deluged with requests to visit the west before the republican national convention and may decide to do so
