lures Remained to be Discussed
When House Convened-Democrat
Leaders Predict Their Adoption.

Washington. D. c., May 6.-The ad-
ministrative and income tax features
Of the tariff bill remained to be G,
cussed when the house convened Ssfd
day. Their adoption virtually intact
Is the prediction Of the democratic
leaders. Strenuous opposition by the
insurance companies against the pro-
visions of the income tax on the
ground that policyholders will be ul-
miums. was the chief issue when the
bill was taken up.
The house republicans attacked
hundreds of items in the free list Of
the Underwood bill during the course
OF yesterdays debate. In almost every
instance they argued that the admis-
sion OF the various articles free would
ruin the industry" and would not re-
duce the cost of living. Majority
Leader Underwood pointed out that
this argument was Inconsistent.
"In order to ruin the industries" /"
ne said. "as you gentlemen seem
bound to do, it would be necessary to
reduce the price the producers re-
ceive. This would inevitably result in
reduction to the consumer"
Pass Some Without Debate.
In order to eliminate unnecessary
debate. Mr.. Underwood, after the free
list had been one-half completed, Sc
cured an agreement to pass the para
graphs which We're not in controver.
sE, without debate. The disputed para
graphs Were then taken up in order.
Republican opposition centered
about the paragraphs admitting free
OF duty coal. iron ore, cotton, wool,
wheat. wheat flour. corn, buckwheat,
t2ood pulp and print paper, meats.
art. fish, steel rails. barbed wire and
dairy products. All of the amend
ments offered were argued in a more
or less perfunctory fashion, and the
sweltering majority, forced to remain
In their seats in the hall where the
temperature scared, drowned each
succeeding republican proposition in
q deluge of "noes.'
Reject Goods Amendment.
At the night session the democrats
rejected an amendment offered by
Representative fGood OF iowa, to pro-
vide for ante-mortems inspection of
Good pointed out, would repeal the
provision in the present law for such
an inspection, and he insisted that
voting down his amendment would re-
suit in flooding the country with dis
eased meat from rejected cattle. Rep
resentative Willis Of Ohio supported
the amendment.
