CAMPAIGN TAX
BALKS HOUSE
Refuses to Concur with
Senate on Making 1t
Retroactive to 1918.

The House yesterday declined to
concur in a Senate amendment to the
revenue bill fixing tax of 100 per
cent, retroactive to 1918, on all con-
tributions in excess OF 500 to Sena-
forial or Congressional campaign
funds. Its conferees were instructed
to insist upon an amendment making
the tax apply only to future contribu-
tions.
The matter was brought before the
House by Majority Leader Kitchin,
in accordance with his agreement
that before the matter was decided
upon by the conferees the House
would be given an opportunity to
agree upon it. His request for unanl-
nous consent to take up the subject
was granted, and lively political de-
bate ensued.
Mr.. Kitchin stated that none of the
conferees was in favor of retaining
the amendment in the bill. 1t was
voted down in the Senate Finance
Committee, but adopted when brought
up on the floor of the Senate by Sena-
tor Thomas OemocraD, of Colorado
