United Press Staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-House
Democrats have decided to fling by
the board one of President Wilson's
suggestions for raising revenue. IL Is
his tentative plan for taxing internal
combustion engines.
Congress began to hear from "the
country just as soon as the Presi-

farmer who owned a gasoline engine
with which he operated his fodder cut

was up in arms. The response to the
Presidents suggestion was so instan-
taneous and vigorously negative-par
ticularly from the farmer in addition
to the expected howl from the automo-
bilist-that administration leaders in
Congress decided it was political eX-
pediency to drop the proposed tax plan
at once.
One Congressman from a rural dis
trict explained that the "dinky gaso-
/ line engine" had practically supplant.

stead of a dozen or so windmill com

more gasoline engine manufacturers.
Congressional leaders. with an eye
on the farmers vote next year, as
well as the votes Of automobilists, de-
cided It would be better to shelve the
engine tax Another factor in this
decision, it was understood, was the
widespread use of cheap automobiles
as farm vehicles. Commercial hrmi

mobilists generally were also begin

terrific roar If the government pro
