TAX ON BUSINESS
PASSED BY SENATE
DEMOCRATS AND PROGRESSIvES
WIN BY VOTE OF 80 TO Is.
RECIPROCITY IS REPEALED
Amendments Were Added to Excise Bill
After Senator Borah's Straight Out
Income Tax Measure Had Been
Defeated Is to 80.

Observation-Disclosures and Progress.
sives united in the senate, and, by a vote
of SO to IS, passed the Democratic excise
tax bill, extending the present tax on
corporations to the business of individu-
ais, private firms and copartnerships. At
tached to the measure also by the aid of
Republican votes were amendments for
the repeal of the Canadian reciprocity
law and the fixing of a So per ton tariff
on print paper; and for the establish
ment of a permanent nonpartisan tariff
commission.
Passage of the excise bill became GER
tain early in the day and Republican
leaders offered little opposition to it.
Senator Borah, in a fight to have his in
come tax bill substituted for the "tax on
business" lost by a vote Of 90 to SO, al
though he mustered to his support many
of the regular Republicans and four Dem
ocrats-Ashurt, Culberson, Hitchcock
and MARITIME.
The Democratic minority stood out
solidly against any change in the house
bill that would threaten its defeat. They
declared the tax on business" was clea.'
ly constitutional, while an income tax
Law had once been held unconstitutional
by the supreme court and might again
suffer that fate until the states ratify
the amendment to the federal constitu'
ton.
The excise measure would levy upon
all persons, firms or copartnerships an
annual tax equal to l per cent of net in
come in excess of s 5000.

TARIFF BILLS ARE Rejected
Measures Returned to Senate, No Amend.
ment Accepted.

Washington.-WitS machine-like pre-
%cision, the Democratic house forced three
tariff measures back upon the senate.
They were the wool and sugar revision
bills and the excise tax bill. All were
sent back with none of the senate's
amendments accepted. On the wool bill
no conference was asked. The house
left it to the senate whether that branch
desired to pursue the legislation further.
The regular Republicans were reported
to be favorable to a plan whereby they
would absent themselves from the cham
Der, thus giving the Democrats a chance
to pass the measures and send them
along for the presidential veto. The
Republican insurgents" however, OPP
posed this scheme and insisted that
differences, where they are reconciliable
be threshed out in conference.

Free Tolls to America.

Washington.-The right of Great
Britain to participate in an understand

was denied in the senate by two advo-
Gates of the measure to give American
ooastwise shipping preference in canal
tolls. Senators Bradley of Kentucky
and Massey of Nevada commended not
only that the United States had the
right under the treaty to regulate its
own affairs, but that the purchase of
the canal zone removed the entire sub

Senator Massey declared the Hay

nored by the United States SO far as the
Panama canal was concerned. The OF
