House PASSES
REVENUE BILL
Democrats Joined by 80 Re-
publicans and Bull Moose
Representatives
SPECIAL TAX ON BANKS
DROPPED; SALARIES CUT

WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE Demo-
cratic revenue bill was passed by the
House last night by a vote of 24O to
140. Not a single Democrat deserted
HIS party, but 80 Republicans and Pro-
gressives voted with the Democrats
for passage Of the bill
AS finally sent to the Senate the
kitchin bill embraces virtually all
the provisions as reported by the
ways and means committee. The only
important change IN the tax, sched-
ules was the elimination OF the spe-
cial tax on banks, which was stricken
out in the adoption by the House Of
an amendment by Representative
Wood. of Indiana, a Republican. Sal
aries of members Of she Tariff Com
mission were reduced from $4,000 to
$500 annaally. and two other
changes made in this measure.
Representative John r. Farr, of
Scranton, was the only Republican in
the Pennsylvania delegation to cast
aside party lines and vote for the bill.
No separate votes were taken on the
Tariff Commission "anti-dump.ng'
clause. dyestuffs projection. the in
come or inheritance taxes. or the
special taxes. except that on copper.
which was retained over protest of
Democrats from Montana.
Before a vote was taken on the
passage OF the bill, Representative
Fordney, of Michigan. ranking Repub-
lican member Of the ways and means
committee, made a motion TO recon-
nit the bill. As spokesman for Re-
publicans in the House. he did not
attack special provision in the bill
but so worded his motion. as TO pro-
vide excellent campaign material for
his party n the Democrats voted
against his proposal. Danger OF a
vote against the Fordney motion was
apparent at once to the Democrats in
the House. and they resorted to sharp
parliamentary tactics to prevent a
record vote on Il.
Point OF Order Is Upheld.
Majority Leader Kitchin made a
point OF order that the Fordney mo-
tion did not apply to any particular
section OF the bih nor seek to alter
any OF its provisions. and as Il was
not in order under rules of the House.
Speaker Clark upheld the point Of
order
Minority Leader Mann then appeal
ed from the verdict of the Speaker
and demanded a roilcall Representa-
tive Fitzgerald. OF New York, one OF
the leading Democratic parliamentar-
ians. Jumped TO his feet and moved TO
lay the Mann motion on the table. The
Republicans fought this, but the New
Yorker was upheld by the Speaker
the vote then taken on his motion
and the Mann motion was tabled.
In this manner the Democrats
avoided voting against the Fordney
motion. which was to commit the bill
to the Ways and Means Committee
with instructions 10 amend IT, 80 as

The REVENUE MEASURE
By The United Press.

BY Ihe United Press.
WASHINGTON, July ll.-Receiving
the new revenue measure which the
House passed yesterday, the Senate to-
day planned a complete re draft of the
measure. Sessions of the finance COM
mittee will begin at once, Chairman
Simmons declared. Though the genera
outline Of the bill is not to be funda-
mentally altered-since il is drafted in
accordance with administration desires
the provisions for the income and in
heritance taxes and tariff commission
all will be altered in detail.
A plan, for instance, 20 tax expatriate
Americans on their American securities
is most popular among senators.
Several leaders have collected figures
on the amount of war tax which Ameri-
cans who have become connected with
British peerages are obliged TO pay on
their American properties. II is claimed
the British government collects nearly
$4,000, 600 a year on the rentals which

ored with a peerage--levy on New York
real estate.

THE DAMON BOYS IN CAMP.
The Christmas season and the boys camp sea-

the missionaries endure the hot season in such

was still in the air, some eighty boys filed out Of

fine jungle for the annual camp. The bullock
carts were laden with grain supplies, tents, cook

President Wilson's determination to
retain Rublee on the federal trade
commission despite the fact that the
senate has rejected his nomination,
serves to call to mind some other
things about the particular pet crea.
ton of the administration. The COM
mission is evidently not only nest.
ing place for the favorites of the ad.
ministration but for the relatives and
favorites Of the commissioners as well.
For instance, Commissioner Parry son.
B. Parry, is his fathers private secre-
tary--aid by the government. Com.
missioner Davies cousin, young wo.
man, is his private secretary-paid; by
the government, Commissioner Hurlep
has what is termed Especial COUNSEL"
