New-York tribune., 1919-05-22

troduced in the House this afternoon
by Representative SABBATH of Illinois.
Members of both houses have been
deluged with petitions for the repeal of
these taxes, which apply against vari-
Gus articles of household use, clothing
and mems and women's furnishings,
from merchants, manufacturers and
consumers.
Mr.. SABBATH also introduced a bill to
make the 10 per cent tax on yachts and
motor boats sold for more than SIS ap-
ply only to craft sold for more than
$3.50. He presented another resolution
to repeal the 10 per cent tax on articles
made OF fur or of which fur is the COM
ponent material of chief value.
The sentiment of both houses is for
speedy repeal of the luxury taxes,
which have been found expensive and
difficult of collection. Passage OF the
SABBATH resolution or some other meas
ure to this end will be one of the first
tasks undertaken by the House and

President Edward I. Bannah Of the
Central Federated Union on behalf Of
the American labor movement yester-
day sent to President Wilson the fol-
lowing cablcgram congratulating him

Senate Republicans Reject
Plan, but May Yet Make
Concessions; Progressive
Compromise Is Discussed

Washington: Bureau

ipGShtrOIOl. buFeuu
WASHINGTON, May 2l.-A drive by
the Democrats to obtain larger repre-
sentaton on important committees OF
the Senate than had formerly been ac-
corded the minority was rebuffed to-
day by the Republican Committee on
Committees, but it was believed that
in the end some concessions would be
granted.
The conference started early in the
morning and continued until late after
noon.
The Committee on Committees was
far from ready to report tonight. Or
thodox Republicans we're encouraged to
believe that some way might yet be
found of harmonizng their differences
with the Progressves, when Senators
McNary. of Oregon, and Gronna, Of
North Dakota, accepted places on the
Committee on Committees. These
places previously had been rejected by
Senators Borah, of Idaho, and Johnson
of California, and later by Senators
KENYON, of Iowa, and Jones, of Wash
ington.
Senators Martin, of Virginia.; Hitch
cock, Of Nebraska; Simmons, of North
Carolina, and Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
made UP the Democratic delegation
that argued before the Committee on
Committees for larger representation
of the minority on important Senate
committees They proposed that the
apportionment on committees now hav
ing seventeen members be ten Repub-
licans to eight Democrats, increasing
the membership to make room for one

and by the belief on the part of the
many members that the President him
self has authority to remove prohibi-
ton Of wines and beers if he really de-
sires to do so.
Thinks President Has Power
No expert legal opinion on whether
the President in fact has power to do
gress was available tonight. Senator
Edge, of New Jersey, asserted his be-
lief that the President had the neces-
sary authority. Other Senators were
inclined to accept the opinion of the
Pres dent's legal advisers that he was
without power to rescnd prohibition
of beers and wines
The evidence in the state of New
Jersey shows that my people are in
favor of the repeal" said Senator Edge
II would vote for it,"
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, was
inclined to the opinion that the "whole
thing was unconstitutional" He said
he probably would vote for its reapeal
on this ground.
Senator Fall, of New Mexico, was
another Senator who would support re-
peal. 81 am not pledging myself" he
said, but am inclined to think would
vote for the repeal"
Many Are Non-Committal
Out of twenty-five Senators asked
the specific question, would you vote
to repeal wartime prohibition insofar
as it affects beer and wine?" six an
swered in the Affirmative, nine in the
positions known.
I'm my opinion Congress will not
repeal wartime prohibtion,' Senator
Chamberlain, of Oregon, said. THE
people of my state would not stand
FOR it,"
Out in my state" said Senator Cap
per, of Kansas, eve are for prob bition
OF all varieties-bone dry and every
other sort. There is no opposition
there on the part of labor. Prohibition
hos been with US so long-thirty- five
years-that we are a little more ad-
vanced on this subject than the res.
OF the country"
Senator Dial, new member of the
Upper House, said emphatcally that
he would vote mo"
Senator Cummins, president pro
tempore of the Senate, was surprised
at the Presidents proposal.
with the strong expression we have
had for the moral sentiment of the
country and the coming of permanent
prohibition on January l6, 1920 I can
not understand the suggestio that
the war time prob hibition be repealed"
he said.
Would Clear Wine Crop
Several Senator'S from grape growing
states sugge sted that an additional six
months of grace for wines probably
would give an opportunity for the
manufacture Of this years crop of
grapes into wine and for selling the
product before prohibition becomes eff
fective. They indicated that they
might vote for the repeal for this
reason.
Senator France, of Maryland in Civ
ing his reason for favoring repeal said:
believing that more power lodged
with the Federal government means
less reserved to the people for the
protection Of their rights and the pre-
servation of their liberties, hold that
the liquor problem should be dealt
with by the states by statutes recog-
nizing the local option principle"

would head off the progressive fight on
Senator Penrose's candidacy for the
Craftsmanship of the Finance Com
mittee. So far as is known nothing
was accomplished.
The Democratic Committee on Com
mittees of the House is finding many
difficulties in arranging committee as
signments that will be pleasing to all
minority members. Northern Demo-
Gratis, headed by Representative Fitz-
gerald, of Massachusetts, told Leaders
Clark and Kitchin to-day that the
minority organization would be weak
ened if Southern Democrats were al
lowed to walk off with all important
committee assignments.

FLOWERS FOR THE LIVING

The state press continues to add
wreaths of flowers with which our
genial friend-Colonel Robert w. Da.
Wis, of the Gainesville SUMS being
decorated.
The Miami Herald places the fol
lowing flower on his desk:
But that is not at all what the
Herald started out to say. 1t want
ed to point out to it's readers the
very courteous way in which Colonel
Robert w. Davis carries on his news
paper controversies. There is never
the slightest acidity in the Coloners
writings. He treats every opponent
with consideration that marks him
the true and knightly gentleman that
he is.
Colonel Davis may be getting
along in years, as we all are, but q
man is no older than his soul. and
Colonel Davis preserves. all the kind
illness and gentleness of the days Of
his youth when he was affectionately

Again, just recently in order to
