Washington, June 25. Radical
changes in the income tax plan of the
Underwood tariff bill and alteration
OF the administrative features of the
jections raised by foreign govern
ments, were agreed upon in tenta-
tive way by the Democratic members
of the Senate finance committee.
The income tax, under the new
plan, would apply to individual in
comes more than $4,000, but would
make important exemptions. for indi-
viduals, municipalities, civic bodies
and mutual insurance companies un-
der certain restrictions
Senate Democrats in caucus on the
bill spent the entire day on wool and
sugar. Just before adjournment
Chairman Simmons of the finance
committee obtained an agreement to
vote upon both. No amendment to the
free wool provision has been offered,
but the majority senators will have an
opportunity to express their opinions
on two sugar amendments.
Senator Shafroth offered one to fix
the rate at the end of three years at
about 1ac pound instead of the free
list provision now in the bill.
Senator Thornton offered the Sec
ond amendment, to provide that the
rates remain as they are in the Payne
Aldrich act.
1t was regarded as probable that the
anti free sugar men would get to-
gether before the vote is taken and
decide to concentrate their support
behind one amendment if the other is
beaten. Leaders of the majority were
confident that despite the oratory
against free sugar it would be re-
tanned in the bill and that only the
two Louisiana senators would oppose
It when the measure reaches the SEN
ate. Senator Shafroth will stay with
his party in whatever action it takes
in the sugar schedule of the Under
wood bill.

The following is what Mr.. ". J.

Of Mr. W j. Bryan, secretary OF state:
Mr. Bryan's power in the admins
tration is the subject OF most inter
sting speculation As things have
started he will he very close to the
president in matters OF domestic as
Well as foreign policy. Some are pre-
dieting that two men Of such strong
mentality and positiyeness of political
convictions as President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan cannot set along to-
sether to the finish Of the term.
"Eyerything about Nr. BRYAN in
dicates that he is heart and soul In
tAe task Of making the administration
a success. Yet predictions are being
made that there viii be a split in less
than a year Trouble borrowers are
SUGGESTING the parallel Of Bryan in
Wilson cabinet ard Blaine in Harrf-
sons cabinet They say Mr. Bryan is
ambitious to occupy the presidential
chair: that he wants to succeed VIII
son peacably, if he can; but that cir
cumstances might arise which would
influence him to play part similar
to that played by Blaine in 1892.
Mr.. Bryan's position in the esti-
nation OF the people represented by
the office-seeking contingent in Wash
ington is very clear, The secretary
OF state is the most sought after man
in the country since the president put
up the Keep off the Grass sign in
the White House grounds. He may
have to put up bars on his own ac-
count in day or two"
