The Income Tax
BOtherS Democrats.

Washington, Aug. St-The burst OF
Democratic insurgency which lifted the
tariff revision struggle out of the routine
channels in the Senate during the last
week is to have its final hearing in Il
caucus of Senate Democrats to BE- held,
late tomorrow or Tuesday The Demo-
cratic members of the finance committee
who have undertaken to compose the
differences in the party ranks and devise
compromise income tax provisions to
meet the demands of the ..insurgents
worked throughout the day over those
and other features of the tariff bin and
will be ready to report to the caucus. by
tomorrow evening.
As a result of the fight led by Senators
Reed, Nardaman. Thompson, Ashurst
and others of the so-called insursent
forces, the bill will be revised as to its
income tax provisions and heavier tax
levied on large incomes. This change Will
be against the Judgment of many of the
party leaders.
1t is expected that the caucus will adopt
a rate graduated up to per cent. 'addl-
tional tax on incomes above 500. 600 with
graduations from that figure up to pei
cent. on those above $50o,e00 AS this lat
ter tax would strike only a few incomes
in this country, many of the insurgents
insist upon greater increase after the
100000 figure is reached, that the tan
would be 10 per cent. or even more above
100000 To this additional tax, woule
be added the regular normal tax" of
per cent. The income tax fight is the last
big contest before the final passage OF
the tariff bill.

GLANCE AT SITUATION.

Waterville, Me. Aug. 31.-The spe-
cial congressional election in the 3rt
! Maine District To be held, Sept. S, t6
elect a successor to the late Represen
tative Goodwin of Skowhegan is re-
&ardcd by all parties as OF especia
Importance. as ii viii be among the first
since the present session of Congress
was convened with its Democratic ma
joritY On this account the campaign,
which has been Naeed during the past
month and is entering upon the final
week, is one Of the hardest fought
since the reelection of ex-Congress
man Charles T. Littlefield from the
I'd District was unsuecessfully opposed
by President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation OF Labor, i'll
1906.
The Progressives view the struggle
very seriously. as they believe the sue
cess Of their candidate would give
them precedence in the State. This
phase has much IL do with the intense
earnestness of the contest between
Edward NJ. Lawrence, Lubec manu-
facurer, the Progressive nominee, and
John \. Peters of Ellsworth Speaker
of the Maine House and Republican
candidate.
The Democrats of the District. who
are seeking the election of ". r. Pat
taHgaH, present mayor of Waterville
and a State leader of their party
consider that victory for him would
mean an endorsement of the Demo-
cratic administration and the tariff re-
vision now in progress. This. they
emphasize, is the first opportunity the
voters have had TO express their feel
inss in that respect and the tariff
consequently occupies a prominent
place in the campaign arguments.
BESIDES the candidates of these three
parties, there is fourth in the field.
The Socialists have nominated Will
lam NJ. Aver of Augusta as their
standard bearer.
The campaign is noteworthy for the
number and prominence Of those who
have taken the stump, especially
speakers from Washington, who have
COME or are coming to aid their re-
speetive parties. They include secre-
tary of State w j. Bryan. who is to
be in the district for two DAYS the
latter part of this week: Speaker
Champ Clark. who spoke vice, yes

man Victor Murdoch of Kansas for
