Senate Will Prevent Printing in
Congressional Record.

Newspaper editorials will hereafter ne
tabooed In the report of tine Senate
proceedings i'm the Congressional Rec
ord if Senator Brandegee of Connecticut
keeps his word.
The question came up today after sena-
tor Works of California had read 4

geles newspaper. Senator Brandegee
thought the practice which had grown
up of ''stufing" the Record with edito-
rails expensive and bad, and served
notice hereafter he would object TO the
printing of editorials.
II mean no disrespect to newspaper
writer's" explained Senator Brandegee.
Nor to the Record" suggested Sena-
tor Root in aside remark.
Senator Works agreed with the Con-
necticut senator and asked unanimous
consent TO withdraw the editorial

drawal on the ground that il was often
desirable to print editorials.

He estimated the government would
thereby be deprived of some So, coo. 900

mated that goods of twice this value
would be placed In warehouses before the
bill passed.
1T occurred to me that the loss of
this great amount of duties and the dan
ger Of dumping so many goods on the
country at one time was worthy of con-
sideration," said the senator.
Senator Stone agreed that the sugges-
ton was worthy of careful consideration,
and asked that the amendment be re-
ferred to the finance committee at once
which was done.

Means Competition.

For similar reasons the committee on
finance thought that ferromanganese
should also be placed upon the free
list. The United States Steel Corpora
ton largely controls the domestic ore
out of which ferromanganese which is
necessary material in the manufacture
OF steel. is produced. This corpora ton
is the only producer of ferromanganese
in this country, but produces it only for
its own use and consumption. 1t was
thought under these conditions just that
the Independent competitors of this
monopoly should be permitted to import
this high-priced alloy free of duty. and
that with iron ore and ferromansanese
on the free list domestic competition
would be strengthened and the price of
the finished products of iron and steel
would be eventually lowered"

Income Tax Criticised.

The income section of the new tariff
Dill was subjected to criticism in the
Senate today by Senator Root on the
ground that it would be impossible to en-
force it against incomes received between
March l. 1913. and the date when the
law is finally passed
Senator Root offered an amendment
Which would make the income tax apply
only to incomes received after the new
tariff becomes effective. At present the
measure applies from March !.
Senator Root said he believed the
courts would hold that income received
before the law takes effect became part
of the property Of the person taxed, and
that it would be found impossible to ap-
ply the income tax provisions to it.
Income becomes part of the principal
after it is received" said Senator Root.
Senator Stone. in the absence of Chair
man Simmons of the finance committee,
said the committee would give careful
consideration to the Root amendment.

Balm for Disappointed.
Would Prove Satisfactory.

AS these committees are now formed
the proposition would satisfy many dem
ocrats who have held that only certain
favored sections of the country have
been granted representation on the pow
erful committees of the House. Accord
ing TO Representative Burgess plan, the
budget committee would be representa-
tive of nearly every section of the coun-
try and would be a committee of broad
political power.
Its duty would be to estimate the coun-
try's income and to place a limit on the
amount which each department should
spend in any one year. and following
this limitation the appropriating commit
tees would have 10 contine themselves to
the budget committees dictum.
