$1,000. O0O,0G0 as compared with the
ST. 900 DOC. 900 estimate for 1919, pre-
cipirated long and spirited debate,
with numerous partisan clashes.
Action was taken virtually on a test
vote in disposing of the provision re-
ducing the individual income normal
tax rate to s per cent in 1920. On a
motion by Senator McCumber, of
North Dakota, Republican, to strike
out this section, thirtyseven Demo-
Gratis voted to retain it and thirty-one
Republicans We're recorded for its
elimination.
Later all other 1920 provisions were
adopted with perfunctorN viva Yoce
votes Senator Penrose. of PennsYlVa-
mia, senior Republican member of the
finance committee. offered motions to
strike out the sections, but these were
bowled over by a chorus of Demo-
cratic mays"
Among the 1920 clauses thus ap-
proved was the provisions for reduc-
ton in that year Of the corporate nor
NAL income tax rate from u 10 5 per
cent. In similar manner the senate
adopted the 1920 war excess prof $
tax section prescribing excess profits
ranging from % to 10 per cent, in lieu
of those from 20 To 90 per cent for
1919. and aboliShing the 50 per cent

ment by Senator Jones. OF New Next
co, Democrat, to continue war profits

caused such protracted debate that
Chairman Simmons abandoned plans
for night session and agreed to adj
journment until today in an effort to
expedite passage. with Il night session
if necessary. tonight.
With this issue out of the way, SEN
ate leaders predicted that other pro
visions. including the inheritance, lux
ury and other sections, would be dis
posed of speedily
In its effort to hurry the revenue
bill to passage the senate at the out
set adopted the finance committees
amendment permitting corporations to
make consolidated returns, and then
took up consideration Of the commit
tee provisions fixing the tax TO be
levied in 1920 at S4O00,0000O0. Sem
ator Simmons announced that a vote
on any one section would dceeffrs4e
the senate's attitude on the 1920 plan.
Snator Penrose expressed the opin-
ion that congress would be called into
extra session after March 4, and that
the present congress could enact a
revenue bill for 1919 and leave the
matter of fixing taxes for 1920 until
next summer.

ALLIES TO take
Up RUSSIA FIRST
Lack Program and Await Word
From Wilson.
SEE BOLSHEWST MENACE
Numerous Alarmist Reports Have
Been Received in Paris as to the
Size of the Red Army.

London, Dec. 23.-The whole queS-
ton of Russia is under serious con-
sideration by the allies, Reuters
agency learns from an authoritative
source.
NJ plan, however, has been formu-
lated and nothing can be settled deli
nitely until there has been an oppor-
tunity to discuss the matter with
President Wilson.
1t is fully realized on all sides that
the Russian problem is one of the
most urgent and important that is to
be dealt with and it is hoped that
during President Wilson's stay in Lon
don it may be found possible to dis
cuss it with view to prompt action.
There have been numerous alarm
is1 reports recently relative to the
size of the Bolshevist army, but tlg-
ures quoted so far are considered ex-
aggera TONS The actual lighting
strength is probably not much over
100000 or 100000. Discipline has been
introduced, but only by means that
are far more tyrannical than anything
known under the old regime.
In considering the present political
position, it must be remembered that
for some months 1t has been impos-
sible for the opponents of the soviet
government to express their opinion
In public All leaders of thought who
care for the future of their country
have been forced to flee, either to 81
IBERIA or to the south. In the latter
region there are several antt-Bolshe-
visit governments in existence.
In the Kuban district General Alex
ieffs volunteer army, which since ms
death has been under the command
of General Denikine, is maintaining a
valiant fight against the Germans ana
Bolshevists A provisional govern
ment has been set up there, and num-
bers among its members moderate
politicians such as Sergius Sazonoff,
former ambassador at London; NJ.
Astroff and M. Stephanoff, Social
Democratic leareds, and others iden-
titled with that party.
Support has been given by the Mod
crate Social Revolutionaries. The al
Lies are in touch with this government,
which possesses thoroughly efficient
army of at least 100000 men, and
British military mission has been sent
to inquire into the military position
there
In the Don district is another anti
Bolshevist government. Here General
Krasnoff's army is operating under
the political control of NJ. Harlamoff,
Moderate Social Democrat. This
government is in close association
with the Kuban government, and both
work with the provisional government
In Crimea, with which they are in
close agreement In Ukraine the sit
uation is very complicated.
There is reason to hope that the
policy followed by the allies will pro-
mote unity between these various gov
ernments in southern Russia, all Of
which repudiate tyranny and BolShe-
vism and whose one object is the re-
storation of order in the country.
A late and satisfactory development
has been a steady flow of eminent and
loyal Russians to all parties in the di-
rection Of London and Paris for the
purpose of setting up an organization
to deal with the Bolshevist problem
and be at hand during the peace con-
ference
