WASHINGTON, March 19.-By an
overwhelming vote of 249 to Al, the
house late this afternoon passed the
excise tax bill levying a one per cent
tax on annual incomes Of more than
$4,000. Only rockribbed republicans
voted against the bill. Every democrat
voted for its passage.
The republicans sprung surprise
by lining up almost solidly behind the
democrat bill, probably realizing its
utility In the campaign.
That the excise tax-the twin meas.
ure of the free sugar bill-would not
supply the s53,0oo,Oo0 deficit caused
by taking all duty off sugar was
claimed by the republican opponents.
The democrats declared the tax, ad-
mgitted to be "thinly veiled'' In
come tax, would raise from $4,000, 900
to $60,000,00o annually.
Majority Leader Underwood today
announced that the wool tariff would
probably be considered next, with free
wool possible.
