Roll Call Not Disclosed.

The roll call on the amendment was
not disclosed. Those who favored 1t
emphasized the grave necessity for ad-
ditional revenue. and had estimates be-
fore them showing that the proposed
exemption reductions would add about
S6,000,000 to the governments Treas
ury. 1t probably would increase several
fold the total number of persons paying
the normal tax of per cent.
This amendment is the second change
in the income tax proposed by Senate
democrats, who Friday night voted to
increase the surtax on incomes in ex
cess of s2,000.00O from 10 to 3 per cent
l is estimated the surtax would bring
in about s10,8o0,000.
The subcommittee on the munitions
section of the revenue bill. it was def
nitely announced, has voted to reduce
the proposed excise tax on productions
of copper, and to add to the munitions
list an excise tax on products of lead.
zinc, iron and steel. Senator Stone,
chairman of the subcommittee, did not

taxes, which have not yet been con-

NEXT CONGRESS
RULE UNCERTAIN
Republicans Are in the Lead, But
Boilers Mry Control. Demo-
Gratis Are Divided.

Observation-Disclosures leaders
in Washington anticipate a bitter
struggle for the control of the sixty
fifth congress. On the face of the
returns from the recent election the
republicans have a majority of three
over the democrats, but the six indie
pendents and members of other par
ties hold the balance of power.
1t transpires that some progressive
republican members threaten to bolt
the party if James R. Mann is named
for speaker by the republican caucus.
Half a dozen such boilers would elect
democrat. At the same time Tam
many congressman threaten to bolt
the democratic caucus if the admins
tration fights Tammany in the COM
ing election. Such action on the part
of 81 Tammany democrats in 1909
enabled the republicans to adopt the
Cannon rules.
Among the republicans who have
been mentioned as possible candidates
are Lenroot, of Wisconsin; Gardner,
of Massachusetts; Graham, of Penn
sylvania, and Mondell, of Wyoming.
Champ Clark, speaker of the House
at the present time, asserts he will
succeed himself and does not believe
the republicans possibly can be a
unit in opposing him for the honor
| in closely divided house.
