DISCUSSION SCHEDULED TO END
AT FOUR O'CLOCK THIS
AFTERNOON.
AMENDMENTS AROUSE
OPPOSITION IN CAUCUS
Radical Changes In Income Tax Plan
Under New Plan Law Would Apply
to individual Incomes over Three
Thousand Dollars.

Washington, June 25.-1'wo far
reaching amendments to the adminis-
trative features of the tarin bill
aroused opposition in the Democrattc
senatorial caucus today. One was an
amendment prohibiting the importar
tion of any goods, except immediate
products, of agriculture, forests and
fisheries, manufactured by children
under fourteen. Many senators de-
clared this was highly protective
measure. An amendment granting to
the United States Court of Appeals
concurrent jurisdiction in customs
cases, involving more than one hum
| dred dollars, also aroused opposition.
Senator RansdeIl resumed the de-
bate against free sugar when the eau
Gus opened. The discussion on both
sugar and wool is scheduled to end at
four o'clock, when vote will be taken.
Ransdell did not openly declare he
would bolt the caucus, but made II
plain he would fight the bill on the
floor unless a change was made in the
sugar schedule. Other senators
thought it practically certain that
neither Senators Ransdell nor Thorn
ton would remain in the caucus If a
binding resolution is presented. SEN
ator Thomas spoke at length in favor
of free sugar and free wool Senator
Newland argued for a more gradual
reduction of all.
Radical changes in the income tax
plan of the Underwood tariff bill and
alteration of the administrative fea-
lures of the measure to overcome most
of the objections raised by foreign
governments were agreed upon in a
tentative way yesterday by the Dem
ocratic members of the Senate Fl
nance committee.
The income tax, under the new plan,
would apply to individual incomes over
$4,000, but would make important
exemptions for individuals, municipali
ties, civic bodies and mutal insurance
companies.
Changes in the administrative sec
tions include a new provision giving
the President authority to increase
tariff duties against certain foreign
articles coming from countries thai
discriminate against the United States
The proposed 5 per cent concession
, in tariff on goods brought in American
ships; the anti-dumping clause, ans
the provision giving United States au
9 thorities "inquisitorial powers" to ex
4 anime books of foreign manufacturer
when the valuation of goods is in dis
p pute, were striken out. These pre-
!. visions brought protests from man
q foreign nations.
o Democrats of the committee mad
a it clear that some further change
q might be made in the income tar an
e administrative sections before the
were reported to the Senate cancu
but the revised sections as made pu
lie are expected to stand with but iitt
4. alteration until the caucus reach'
them.
