the president.
Mr.. Smoot of Utah, Republican
member of the senate finance commit
tee, moved to limit the time extension
of the war taxes TO June 80, 1916.
This amendment was rejected 20 to 5O,
by a party vote, except that five Re-
publicans-Mr. Clapp of Minnesota,
Mr.. Curtis of Kansas, Mr.. Harding or
Ohio, Mr.. Jones of Washington and
Mr.. Kenyon of Iowa, refused to seem
to support even that extension and
voted against it.
He characterized the measure as a
war tax in time of peace. and bit

brought to the United States by the
European war.
A demand for increased tariff duties
to meet the treasury needs was made
by Senator oenrose, who opened the
debate for the Republicans.
