seem from present indications that this
issue. 80 unexpectedly thrown into Con-
gress. is likely to stir up greater con-
troyersy than any measure that has ap-
peared at the present session.
Following is the statement made by
Majority Leader Underwood to the DEM
ocratic caucus in regard to the proposed
legislation:

at the custom houses on sugar imported
into this country Will have the effect
Of reducing the price of sugar to the

Much Money Spent.

The amount of money expended in the
primary campaign was SO extravagant
and the expenditures were made with
SUCH reckless disregard of the property
as to justify the sharpest criticism.
SUCH expenditures were in violation of
the fundamental principles underlying
our system of government, which con-
templates the selection of candidates by
the electors and not the selection of the
electors by the candidate
Yet by an ingenious argument" con-
tinued the senator. Mr. Hepburn at
tempts to exempt Mr.. Stephenson from
the results of corrupt practices in the
primary, the holiness of which is shock
ing to the patriotic sense of every honest
American citizen.
The majority Of the candidates for che
legislature publicly declared that they
would vote in the legislature for the man
for United States senator who secured
the party nomination in the primary; so
that 1t was necessary for Mr.. Stephen
son to have shat nomination in order to
secure the election: and the corrupt or
unlawful expenditure of money in secur-
Ing votes in the primary was just as
heinous as would have been its expendi-
ture to get votes in the legislative cleo
ton

Tells Of Votes Bought.

Senator Bristow then quoted Senator
Stephenson's testimony admitting that he
had expended s107. 193. and made a de-
tailed statement in regard to the organi-
cation of the Stephenson campaign COM
mittee. Quoting from the testimony, he
said that Mr.. Stephenson's managers paid
money to different candidates for the leg
islature, three of whom were elected. and
that If the votes Of those members had
not been cast for Stephenson he would
not have been elected; and that Stephen
SON hired large number of men to go
about the state and disburse money in
counties. townships and wards to differ
ent individuals 10 induce them to work
for Stephenson at the election.
If such campaigns as this which re.
suited in the election of MIR. Stephenson
are to meet the approval of this body"
concluded the speaker, then it will lose
the respect of the American people. The
Senate cannot have the confidence of the
people If men immensely rich, with little
qualification for the great office of senator
of the. United States, but who desire the
position as a child wants a toy. are to be
permitted to employ political highway
men as managers and organizers, such

Offsets the Sugar Duties.

The levying of the income tax is the
means proposed by the democrats for
meeting the loss of approximately So3,-
100000 a year in revenue caused by the
placing of sugar on the free list. They
have adopted a rather novel means OF
evading the Supreme Court decision de-
cIaring the income tax unconstitutional.
While they acknowledge that the tax pro-
posed by them in the bill approved last
night is an income tax, pure and simple,
they describe it as, an extension OF the
corporation tax law, which the Supreme
Court has held to DE valid.
Chairman Underwood and the otner
members of the ways and means commit
tee which reported the income tax meas
ure to the caucus, declare that the Su-
preme Court has acknowledged the power
of Congress to levy a special excise tax
on business. They have accordingly en-
bodied their income tax scheme in an
amendment to the corporation tax law.
which was passed by Congress on the
recommendation of President Taft. the
amendment purports to extend the cor
poration tax law to individuals, firms
and copartnerships having an income
of more than $4,000. and to assess l per
cent on all income over that figure.
The term business as employed In the
bill is held to embrace everything ABOUT
which a person can be employed and all
activities which occupy the time. at
tention and labor of persons for the
purpose Of livelihood or profit.

The two important bills agreed upon by

before the House in week or ten days,
according to Majority Leader Under

he did not wish to displace appropria-
ton business, but would take the.first- OPP
portunity to call up the measures Both
of them were formally introduced in the
House by him this afternoon.
The corporation. excise or income tax
bill, as it is variously called, was unani-
mously approved by the House demo-
Gratis. The free sugar bill was opposed
only by the three Colorado members and
by some of the Louisiana representatives.
4 general impression prevailed that, re-
gardless of whether it will be able to put
either or both of the measures through
both branches and up to the President,
the democracy. in favoring these measures
and passing them through the House, will
be making a political ten-strike. Almost
