WARREVENUE BILL
SOON TO BEPASSED
Penrose to Present Republic
ans Attitude, Which Will
Not 0bstruct.

The passage of the $S.o0o.ooo.ooo
war revenue bill at comparatively
early date was assured today wnen
republican senators said they did not
propose to place obstacles In the way
Of a final vote on the measure. Al
though they would discuss some OF
the provisions fully.
Senator Penrose, ranking republican
member Of the finance committee. was
expected to state the attitude OF the
republicans in an address to the Sen
ate this afternoon. He and other re-
publicans take the stand that the re-
publicans, although they do not be-
lieve that the taxes for 1920 should be
fixed at this time. are unwilling to
place themselves in a position OF pre-
venting action on the revenue meas
ure, (which is so greatly needed at
this time.
Simmons to Press Bill.
Chairman Simmons of the finance
committee is planning to press the
bill as rapidly as possible. Now that
the republicans have agreed to per-
nit it's passage. which they might
have effectually blocked by filibuster,
it is believed that the bill can become
a law by the first Of the year or soon
thereafter.
Formal reading Of the bill con-
tinued in the Senate today. Those
provisions to which there was no OBJ
lection were adopted, while others
were passed over. Senator La Fol-
lette Of Wisconsin asked that prac-
tfcally the entire income tax section
go over.
Predictions that federal expendi-
lures for 1920 will reach $4,000
900, 900, less salvage sale Of war ma
terial, was made by Senator Smoot OF
minority report on the bill, filed yes
terday.
Smoot Attacks Provision.
In presenting plans for taxation,
prevent injustice and discrimination
entailed by the pending measure. Sem
ator Smoot attacked the provision to
fix taxes for 1920. Me supported Sec
rotary McAdoo's theory of abolishtn1
excess profits taxes in 1920 and criti-
cized the committee for failing to
follow that plan, asserting that the
excess profits tax is discriminatory
and unjust.
IT believe" he said, "that there
should be eliminated from the bill all
the harassing, nagging taxes and
substituted for them per cent sale
tax on all goods for consumption or
use." He added that this would raise
81 600. 100000 and avoid unjust taxes.

Evers' main value to the Red Sox,
after the Boston team had signed him
to a big contract, will consist of his
coaching ability. His playing will be
done largely on the coaching lines
this year, but he will continue to
draw a huge salary for his efforts,
even though they do not amount to
as much as in years gone by.

get Evers for the Cardinals, hoping

New York, April 2O.-The trade
which sent Dave Shean, second ba
man, to the Boston Red Sox and
George Foster, pitcher, to the Reds,
means just one thing of any import
ance 1t means, beyond question,
that John Evers, former great second
bGseman, has reached the end of the
trail. He is through as q playing
second baseman.
There are several reasons for this
conclusion. The best is probably that
Evers, himself, declared last winter
when he was trying to dispose of his
services that he didn't know whether
he would be able to play next sum.
mer. The admission meant that he
realized that he was approaching the
end, but wanted to take one more
fling at it.
Shean's acquisition means that Ed.
Barrow has discovered the weakness
of the once mighty trojan and is fort
flying himself for the emergencies
that are certain to come out if Evers
takes his place as the clubs second
baseman. Shean was one of the poor
est second basemen last year in the
National league, judged from field

strength the club could gain
He needed some one to help Evers.

Seeking a second term as county
assessor, ]. D. Bryan makes his an

Mr. Bryan. "If they think l have

the aiding of the various organiza-
tions which have for their aim the
winning of the war Several of these
