The spectre Of socialism was paraded By
Representative Garrett, Tennsssss
Democrat. who argued that the growth Of
that party and the spread OF soclalistic
doctrine were due directly to the unrest Of
the people under taxation and the insoui.

promises and OF political legerdemain. the
people have gone TO the other political er-

BUSINESS TAX BILL Up
Longworth Leads the Republican
Attack on 1t.
VOTE TO BE TAKEN TUESDAY
Measure Denounced as Thinly
Disguised Income Tax-Its
Author Defends It.
[From The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington. March 16.--The excise tax
bill. the salvation measure" which the
Democrats devised to replace the f53, 900
in revenue which will be lost II sugar goes
on the free list. was the subject of debate
In the House to-day, as various Demo
cratic speakers defended the measure as
constitutional, while the Republicans as
emphatically attacked II as unconstitu-
tionaI and indefensble as revenue pro-
ducer.
Learning q lesson from the indignant pro-
tests that came from both sides OF the
chamber when the sugar bill was rushed
through with only a few hours debate yes
terday, Representative Underwood agreed
to-day to a more equitable division Of time
for the discussion OF the excise tax meas
ure. The bill will be debated again Mon
day, and will not be placed on passage un-
til Tuesday afternoon.
Representative Hull. Of Tennessee. father
OF the plan to help the Democrats out OF
hole by extending the corporation tax TO
firms. copartnerships and individuals, eh-
planned at length to-day his scheme Tor
raising s53,O00.OoO in revenue. He also dwet
at length on the constitutional phases OF
the BILL

displace custom house revenues 10 the ex-
tent OF at least ssOOoo0O0, shift the burden
10 those having annual net profits exceed
ing 5000 and at the same time save to the
people the relative sum of SO0OOO.CCo now
collected as toll by the manufactures for
privilege of payment by the people of high
protective tariff taxes"
Representative Nicholas I.ongworth dis
tressed the Democrats by pointing out that
they had supplied no data whatever 10
show how the extension of the excise tax
law would result In receipts Of S6OOO,Vo.
the amount boldly claimed by the Demo
Gratis. On the other hand. Mr.. Longworth
declared, the bill at best could not produce
more than so OO0, 600, even II all its features
were declared constitutional. Mr.. Long
worth seriously doubted that the Supreme
IT would approve the Democratic meas
ne. which he characterized as nothing
more nor less than a thinly disguised In
come tax bill.
Mr.. Longworth also gave Representative
Underwood an uncomfortable moment
when he chided him on his conversion to
the free trade theory. Heretofore, said Mr..
Longworth the majority leader had been a
defender Of "a tariff for revenue" While
Representative Underwood squirmed un-
easily in his seat Mr.. Longworth said:

position. Ii the duty on sugar Is not a

AsoUr GROWING ONIONS.

For those Of our readers living Ia
the northern states, where spring will
be on directly. and who would like to
try raising onions, We have few sug'
gestions that may be helpful. First,
the ground on which the crop is to be
grown should be well drained. rich
and as free as possible from weed
seeds. The tract is preferably fall
plowed and narrowed and foated as
soon as the ground can be worked in
the spring. Best results will be had
II the seed bed is well f1rmed and in
the finest tilth. The seed should then
be drilled In to a depth Of half an inch
In rows from fourteen to sixteen
inches apart, depending upon the va
riety. The seeder should be tested on
q board floor in order to ascertain how
many seed will be dropped in a given
distance. II they can be sown so
that they will be on the average about
an inch apart. 1t is well. Before the
seed Is sown. however, 1t should be
tested as to terminating power and
more or less seed sown to make up
for this. The best seed is none too
good. and in the long run money will
be saved by paying two or three dol
lars extra. II need be, to get fine
pedigreed seed. In the section in
which the writer has lived the red
globe onion is very popular, but this
matter would be determined by the
90 hn hyv tn he
est market centers. In northern lati-
tudes. where the growing and ripen-
ing season Is none too long. the seed
should be sown just as soon as the
soil can be worked. The onions should
be cultivated as soon as the rows can
be seen, should be hand weeded once
or twice and thinned to about two
inches apart in the row. II dry
spell should come on, especially after
q driving rain, care should be taken to
give thorough cultivation, as this may
mean the saving or losing Of the crop.
If commercial fertilizers are desired.
and there Is no question that it pays
to use them. they may be applied at
the time the seed Is sown, while q
second application may be made after
the onions are two or three inches
high. II very dry spell should come
In July the field should be kept thor
oughly cultivated, so as to preserve
dust mulch. 1t costs about $50 per
acre to raise and harvest a crop Of
onions, and one can count on from 40
to 60 cents a bushel t. o. b. shipping
station. In the matter Of yield one
may reasonably expect from 800 to 600
bushels If the stand Is good and grow.
