but it was Thought today that the
democratic majority Of the commit
tee, IL they decide to fix 1920 taxes
in the bill despite republican oppO-
sition will wish to line up all demo-
Gratis in the senate for the pro-
pOsal before reporting the bill. The
bill, for this reason. may not be re-
ported until the second week OF the
short session.
Republican leaders today asserted
there would be no need to "flibus-
ter" against the bill in order to hold
1t over until March 4. when they
come into power IN the senate.
Plenty to Discuss.
There will be plenty OF matter
for discussion If Il is decided to set
1920 taxes in the bill" said Sen.
Lodge After we have disposed Of
any tax for 1919 IL will be necessary
to begin the discussion all over
again. in order 10 decide whether it
should be retained in 1920. This
will easily carry us past March g."
Progressives in the senate, al
though bitterly opposed to the nam
ing Of Sen. Penrose as chairman OF
the finance committee. are with their
party solidly IN IT'S objection TO in
cluding taxes for 1920 in the rev.
enue bill soon to be reported TO the
senate. Sen. Kenyon's statement
that the progressives will protect the
country against a tax bill written
by Penrose" indicates the belief Of
his associates that It will be impos-
next session. If the bill We're passed
I'm the form suggested by the demo-
Gratis, Sen. Penrose would have no
opportunity 10 write a tax bill"
that would return any revenue be-
fore the fiscal year

Both sides were standing fast to-
day. Democrats were unmoved in
their determination that American
business shall be given notice of the
tax burden it must bear in the fiscal
year 1920 in the present revenue
bill
The democratic majority Will de-
cline TO enact any tax legislation
without provision for 1920" said
Sen. Hoke Smith, original sponsor Of
the idea. which was later approved
by Sec'y OF the Treasury McAdoo.
Republicans Stand Pat.
Republicans. holding to their the
ory that $4,000, 100000 as suggested
may not be sufficient TO meet the
expenses OF the government in the
fiscal year 1920. were equally en-
phatic.
No tax bill fixing taxes for both
years ever will be enacted" said
Sen. Smoot Of Utah. He was backed
in this assertion by Republican
Leader Lodge.
No compromise has been pro-
posed and leaders on both sides as
serted none would be acceptable.
The democrats. having a majority
on the finance committee, are in a
position TO jam their proposition
through the committee, and it was
predicted at the capitol today that
this course would be pursued
Cut to Six Billions.
By the cuts made in special taxes
last week, the bill has now been cut
down to produce an estimated six
billion dollars. The committee has
therefore, only the dual tax prob
lem to dispose Of this week
The revenue bill certainly will be
in condition to report during the
first week OF the December session.
