This amendment rewritten and modi-
fed somewhat, was taken from the trade
commission bill introduced In the House
by Representative Stevens of New Hamp-
shire. Democrat 1t has the approval
OF the Administration and was adopted
without much opposition.
From to-days development IL is ap-
parent that the Senate leaders in whip
ping the annual trust bills Into shape
were guided by President Wilson. There
Is much bitterness among House leaders
over the change In programme made by
the President. The broad rules of re-
straint that the commission may throw
around Industrial corporations will force
a general revision OF the trust measures.
especially the Clayton bill which pro-
poses punitive measures in the enforce
ment OF the antitrust laws
Another amendment adopted to-day
empowers the commission to make In
quir!es into trade conditions at home and
abroad. This reads:
The commission liz hereby di-
rected to investigate, as expeditiously
as may be. trade conditions In for
eign countries where associations,
combinations or practices OF buyers
dealers or traders may inJuriously
AFFECT the export trade OF the United
States. and also to investigate
whether American exporters have
combined with each other or with
foreign producers or dealers to con-
troll prices abroad and to report 10
Congress thereon from time Ia time.

INCOME TAX $2t,OOO,00O
SHORT; DRAGNET OUT
Secretary McAd0O Predicts a
Surplus Of S30,0OO,OOO
by June 80.

WAsHtNoToN. June 1.-THE income
tax will fail by nearly s21.000.000 to
provide the revenue expected from II by
the trainers OF the new tariff law.
The taxes on individual returns will be
S24,0O0,o00 less than the Treasury De-
partment experts had estimated. The
total assessments on individuals will yield
only $40. 100000. while the original estl-
mate Of revenue from the source was
about ss5,000.000. The Government
dragnet has. therefore, thus far caught
only a little more than half what II had
expected.
To say that the results Of the first
levying of the income tax are disappoint-
ing to the Administration In putting II
mildly. The Government officials believe
that they are meeting with the evasions
which were predicted before the law was
enacted. In fact. the Treasury Depart
ment to-day served notice of its Intention
to start after the ''evaders"
Secretary McAdoo issued n statement
in which he said
"The Department is convinced that
many liable to the income tax have failed
to make returns and that many have made
Inaccurate returns. Active steps will be
taken to discover all evasions OF the
law. and large additional amount OF
income tax will be collected from these
delinquents."
The understanding Tonight Is that the
loss has come chiefly from supposedly
big fortunes on which the Government
had expected TO obtain fat returns.
Whether the Government has overesti-
mated these large incomes or whether
there has been evasion Is what the Treas
ury Department now hopes to be able 10
establish.
Notwithstanding this big deficit in the
estimated returns from the income tax
f. Al ID tt,at n.
Treasury will end the present fiscal year
on June 80 with surplus OF about
$40. 200. 900.
This will not include deduction for
the Panama Canal payments. which will
amount TO s37. 200 900, and for which the
