Clever Fight
ON INCOME TAX

Representative Norman 4. Lyman
has waged long, clever and success
l.ful fight on the special income tax
proposition, with the result that it now
looks like his point must be accepted
in its entirety If immigration is to be
assisted by any territorial tax at all
He has been able to obtain sup.
| port of eighteen house members every
time the special income tax bills came
to a vote in the house, and his back
ers remained with him to man this
morning when the final and real test
came The result is that Senator
Rice's bill, s. B. 142. goes back to the
upper branch so badly cut up and al
tered that the author would scarcely
recognize it, But as Lyman has the
majority of the house with him, the
senate must accept those amendments,
else there viii be no provision for i'm
migration.
The special income tax heretofore
has been 2 per cent. OF this Lyman
proposed, in his own BILL. to give one
fourth to conservation, one-fourth to
the counties, aInd one-half to immi.
grafton. He succeeded in killing a
measure by Watkins, which proposed
to reduce the entire tax and make no
provision for the counties. Lyman's
bill was approved and ready to pass
third reading when Senator Rice's
measure appeared in the house. He
succeeded in having his own bill de-
ferred and in having the Rice bill
taken up.
This latter measure proposed giving
one-haIf percent of the income tax to
conservation and another one-half per
cent to the board of agriculture, which
in reality mean conservation, but
gave nothing to the counties. Then
with his whip, given by the majority
support, Lyman made ten amendments
to the Rice bill, changing it so that it
is really Lyman's bill.
Thus he gains the advantage now of
having virtually his own bin pass 81
by both the senate and the house. The
house, of course, passed the Rice
measure on third reading. Lyman
bill probably never would have passed
the upper body, but now it is virtually
forced to accept the amended Rice
measure, which, as stated, in reality
is the Lyman BILL
