PASSED BY HOUSE
Many Republicans Help Measure
in Congress.
FINAL VOTE is 24s TO q

100000 Revenue to Offset Loss
From Putting Sugar on
Free List.

Washington.-The Democratic in
come tax bill was passed by the
house of representatives by a vote
of 249 to Al The bill was sup
ported by ITO Democrats and 70 Re
publicans, while the opponents of the
measure were all Republicans. The
indications are that the bill will be
passed by the senate.
The measure was framed by the
majority leaders to make up for the
loss of revenue to the government
through the removal of the duty on
sugar, as provided by a bill which al
ready has been passed by the repre-
sentatives.
The excise bill had been under dis
cussion by the house for the last two
days, the debate being marked by
many speeches sharply criticising the
decision of the Supreme court of the
United States by which a previous in
come tax measure was declared I'M
constitutional
The present bill was prepared with
a view to meeting objections raised
by the highest court against it in the
litigation of a few years ago. 1t ex-
empts incomes of less than $4,000 a
year.
From the time of the first appear
ance of the measure in the house
there were indications that the pro-
posed legislation would be aided by
the insurgent Republicans. either &C
lively with votes or passively by neu-
trality. The expectations then raised
were borne out when the ballot dis
closed an overwhelming majority in
! favor of the bill
An outburst of applause from the
Democratic side accompanied the an
nouncement of the vote, and was re-
newed when it was learned that 70
! Republicans had voted for the meas
ure. There were no Democratic votes
against the passage of the bill
The bill would extend the existing
corporation tax law to include a tax
of one per cent on the yearly net in
come of all firms or individuals in ,ex-
cess of $4,000.
The Democrats declare the tax is
one on doing business" despite the
fact that it would include salaried PEG
pie, and claim it would bring in suf
| ficient revenue to Offset the estimated
loss of $60,000,000 resulting from put
! ting sugar on the free list.

valley. Cal, from the Businesses of
the Sierra Madre mountains, says that
the tree squirrels, skunks and prac-

hills, where they are burrowing deep
in the earth to protect themselves
from a great storm that is brewing.
The prospector is borne out in his
statement by several old mountaineers
who have noticed the same thing.
Il have noticed this fear on the
part of animals several times in my
mountain experience" said the pros
pector. 'and each time there has been
a storm in the interior mountains"

TREATMENTS FOR RABIES INCREASING Georgia Board of Health Has All It Can Do at
 Present

Atlanta. September 20-(Speciall De mand for the Pasteur treamnnt as the result of bites of supposed rabid dogs, has shown an alarming increase the past few weeks, and the Georgia State Board of Health is having all it can do in this particular direction to make the examina- tions and supply the serum.
 While normally the number of cases applying to the board for treatment Is around forty or fifty month, there have been fully q hundred applications for it the past month. and there appears 10 be TO abatement.
 Only recently ten soldiers from Fort McPherson applied for the treatment in d body as the result of bites from a pet dog which, examination showed, was af- f1icted with rabies. A week later there were half a dozen more patients from the same locality, and report has it that a number of dogs have been bitten by oth- CT dogs said to have been mad and that these may develop the disease at any time As result watchful eye is be- ing kept on all dogs around the to.t.
 A similar state of affairs has developed at Decatur. in Dekalb county within the last few days. Eleven children, sons and daughters of some of the most prom inent people of Decatur, have just ap- piled to the board for the Pastcur treat ment as the result of bites from q dog pronounced rabd. Other dogs there were also bitten. and considerable anxiety is expressed regarding the situation.
 At the same time application for the treatment are coming from various points over the state, sometimes sngly, som e- times in pairs and threes or more.
 There is apparently no question about the fact that hydroproba is more com mon disease in this section than hereto fore, and yet it is seldom that death from it is recorded. This is attributed wholly to the development of the Pasteur treatment, as we'll as the fact that it fig now so easily procured. There has been only one known death from hydrophobia
 in Georgia this year, and this was In the case of a child bitten on the face and in which the treatment was not applied with sufficient promptness. Facial bites are the most dangerous because the poison af- fleets the brain, and can get there more quickly The board advises hat in cases of facial wounds cauterization should be
 immediate and the treatment should te promptly administered.
