Meeker-To deliberately climb a
tree, unarmed in pursuit of a noun

Washington. - The Democratic ex-
else bill, virtually to tax everybody's
income when it is $4,000 or more a
year, passed the House $50 to 40.
Democrats voted solidly for the bill
and carried eighty Republican votes
with them. Forty regular Republi-
cans voted against the bill
The bill goes to the Senate-where
its fate is a guess.
Many senators say that if they find
the House measure would tax all
classes OF people alike they would sup
port it. Democratic senators, with a
few exceptions, are expected to vote
for it.
Democratic Leader Martin ex-
pressed the hope that the Democratic
senators and the Progressive Repub-
licans might put the bill through. Re-
publican leaders are depending upon
the Presidents veto to check revenue
revision bills frfom the House.
The excise bill, though primarily in
tended to produce anywhere from $20,
100000 to $60,0O0.O0O year to make
up for the losses on free sugar. is also
expected to be one of the offsets to
general pension Legislation, which
seems sure to be enacted.
Democratic Leader Underwood held
his majority intact through the pas
sage of the bill. Not one Democratic
vote was cast against it, and the
measure was passed exactly as
framed.
With the free sugar bill and excise
tax bills out of the way, Democratic
members of the ways and means COM
mittee are free to tackle again the
wool schedule, which is considered the
knottiest problem they have to deal
with this session. The committee will
begin work with the free raw wool
sentiment strong.
Chairman Underwood is known to
be opposed to a free wool bill because
inks the revenue lost from raw
wool. approximately $21,O0O,0O0, could
not be offset by putting a duty on raw
silk and raw rubber.
