REVENUE BILL TAXES
MAY DELAY PASSAGE
Parties at Odds Over Amount to
Be Collected During
Year 1920.

The Senate finance committee made
such rapid progress in its downward
revision OF the war revenue bill, as
recommended by Secretary McAdoo,
that it was the hope of Chairman
Simmons that the committee would be
able to complete it's work on the meas
ure late this week. When revised by
the committee the bill is to raise not
more than $4,000. 1000, 900. to be collect
ed in. 1919. The bill as it passed the
House was designed to raise total
of sS,000,000,000. But with peace at
hand and a great curtailment of ex-
penditures it has been thought wise
to reduce the takes.
While the committee apparently is
making rapid progress SO far as the
taxes to be collected in 1919 are con-
cerned, the question of further reduc-
has not been taken up by the. COM
mittee. A battle. royal" over this
proposition is expected, since the re-
publicans are insisting they will not
permit such legislation because they
believe they will be entitled to frame
the tax laws for the next year when
they come into power after March 4.
If the democrats continue to insist
that the bill must provide for a re-
and the republicans to demand that
no such reduction be made at this
time, the bill may fail and the country
continue to operate under the bid
revenue law until the e,repubIicanauu uut
3ne through after March 4.
