Despite the efforts of a little group
OF wilful men, the senate at last has
passed revenue bill which is open
to little If any criticism. All thru the
long debate a large majority of the
senators have evinced a disposition to
enact a law which would raise max
inum revenue with a minimum en-
barrassment to the business of the
country They seem to have done
this. The burden of taxation will fall
upon those best able to stand it.
Ievies on consumption and on the
means of disseminating public infor-
nation finally were eliminated from
the bill. Much unnecessary time has
been consumed, owing to the obstruct-
i've tactics employed by the little
group" in the name of the people. OF
course their real object was to embar-
rass the administration and hamper
the prosecution of the war. in other
words. to aid the kaiser. The con-
ferees OF the two houses should find
little difficulty in reaching an agree
ment on the measure.
