Suffering the brunt Of the foods and
standing with Omaha as a parallel ex-
ample of wreck, death and desolation
was Dayton. O.. one Of the prettiest
cities in the country Whereas Omaha
had suffered the death of over 100
persons. with over 5000 of its popula
ton homeless from the storm, Dayton's
death list included many hundreds.
The terror of the food throughout the
two states. Ohio and Indiana. caused
several thousand deaths. rendered
about half million persons homeless
and probably caused damage to the
amount of S1OO.OOO.OOO
The principal business section of
Dayton suffered the worst fury of the

the finest hostelries in the state.

ward Just how this is to be done the
congressman have not thoroughly de-
cided.
The ways and means committee has
had the responsibility of drafting the
measure, and it has been strongly urg-
ed upon 1t to submit the question in
the form of separate schedules rather
than in one general tariff bill. The
purpose in this procedure is to avoid
having the bill summary defeated In
the senate. which has but scanty
Democratic majority, on account Of
several of its provisions. By dealing
with the matter schedule by schedule
congress is assured of passing most
Of the provisions. though some Of the
schedules may be killed.
Another big matter will be that of
appropriations. Two important bills
under this head are the sundry civil
and the Indian appropriation bill. Rep
resentative John J. Fitzgerald is chair
man OF the appropriations committee.
He ia looked upon as nightly efh-
cfent leader.
Other subjects for legislation will
likely be the federal income tax. with
possibly an inheritance tax added; the
Independence of the Philippines. Pan
ANA canal tolls and possible antitrust
laws.
1t is virtually assured that the in
come tax will be called into being
This law will exact 1.-THE from every
income over 5000 annually. Those
who favor an inheritance tax declare
the limit of 5000 restricts the income
tax to but small proportion of the
people and that the revenue would be
Inadequate they argue that the in
berftance tax would operate to no
ones disadvantage
Philippine independence has been
looked upon as an obligation of the
Democrats. because the last four Dem
