predicted tonight would pass it with
In ten days. many Republicans having
indicated their purpose To support it,
The measure as it stands after adop-
tlon by the caucus is summed up by
Chairman Glass. who piloted it through
the caucus, as follows:
There has not been written into the
bill from one end to the other single
sentence except by the initiative OF
the Banking and Currency Committee
itself, which has altered in the re-
motest degree the essential provisions
of the bill as originally reported by
the committee to the caucus.
THE bill establishes twelve regional
reserve banks, with a capital of not
less than S5.00O.00O each, to which ma
tional banks are required to contribute
an amount equal to 10 per cent of their
own capital stock and to become liable
for an additional 10 per cent in case
of call. This, it is estimated, will give
the regional reserve bank n combined
paid-up capital of S195. 900. These
regional reserve banks also are made
custodians OF large part OF the re-
serve money of member banks. csi-
mated at about S410.000,000 in the ag-

THREAT TO BREAK
LINES Of PARTY
BRINGS VICTORY
Insurgents Win Battle to Have
Heavier Tax Laid on
Big Incomes.

Washington. August 2S.-An insur-
gent movement among Democratic
Senator'S that threatened to break
party lines on the income
tax was stopped by Democratic
leaders to-day by an agreement to
revise the tariff bill so as TO levy a
heavier tax on incomes from large
fortunes.
The insurgent leaders began with n
demand for party conference and
claimed the support OF twenty seven
Democrat Senator'S out of the fifty In
the Senate in support of an increase
In the tax. They finally agreed to
withdraw their demand for n special
caucus. but the question will be taken
up In = party conference tomorrow or
Saturday
1t is understood that Democratic
leaders have agreed to revision of
the income tax section so that the
extra tax on incomes OF more than
100000 Will be per cent with an
increasing rate, reaching 10 per cent
on incomes OF half million dollars:
The bill as il now stands provides
only per cent tax above 100000. The
present rates on incomes between So0-
600 and 100000, also Will be Increased
The agreement to redraft the bill
came after Senator Vardaman left the
party ranks and voted for Senator
La Follettes amendment to increase
the rates, and Senators Reed. Thomp-
son and Ashurst had threatened TO take
similar action.
Attempts Intellectual.
Intellectual attempts were made re-
peatedly by Republicans to amend tho
income tax provisions. An amendment
by senator Norris To allow an cNemp-
uon of $500 for each minor child in
stead of limiting the exemption TO two
children. was defeated, 81 10 -. An
other by Senator Lodge 20 substitute
dependent" for minor" children also
was promptly voted down.
Senator Cummins attacked the pro-
vision defining income. declaring that
the definition of the word as used in
the constitutional amendment was for
the courts TO pass upon, and the at
tempt OF Congress 10 do SO might re
suit III the entire income tax being de-
clared Invalid. He objected to what lie
termed efforts OF the committee to have
principal" reckoned as income" and
TO have undivided profits OF corpora
tions regarded as part OF the income
Lf individual shareholders.
Just as the Senate adjourned, Sena
tor Hitchcock proposed his amendment
to impose AN additional graduated tax
on corporations manufacturing more
than onc-fourth of the total production
of any line OF goods.
During the afternoon. Senator Lodge
had warned against levyinG the income
tax as class measure. He suggested
that every person should be made to
pay part of the tax. no matter how
small his income.
