SENATE COMMITTEE IS EXPECT. ED TO MAKE ADVERSE
 REPORT.
WOULD INCREASE REVENUE
Other Phases of Revenue Problem To, Be Considered During the Next Two or Three Weeks-Re.
 peal Is Favored.

Washington.-After several days of hearings devoted chiefly to the sales tax the Senate Finance Committee will take up other phases of the reve- nue problem. It is planned to con-. tinue the hearings for two or possibly | three weeks longer.
 Witnesses schedule to be heard in- clude c. c. Hance of Indianapolis. | chairman of the Taxation Committee of the National Automobile Chamber Of Commerce; c. H. Archibald Har- ris. public accountant of Chicago; and F. k. Seidman of Grand Rapids. Mich.
 Representatives of several leading insurance companies will be present to urge the repeal of the present in- surance tax. The witnesses will iu- clude Thomas w. Blackburn of Oma- ha, and c. H. Boyer of Chicago.
 Although several witnesses have ap- peared in support of a sales tax the impression given at the hearings has been that majority of the committee will not favor it. Senator Shoot of Utah is the one member who is &C., lively for turnover tax of I per cent. Senator Watson of Indiana has shown an inclination> toward sales tax. No other Republican has indicat- ed by questions pronounced view in favor of sales tax. Senator Pen rose of Pennsylvania, the chairman. has appeared undecided with a proba- ble leaning against it. Most of the Democrats have seemed to he against the sales tax. some of them being in. clined to defend the excess profits tax.
 That the majority of the committee will favor the repeal of the excess profits tax is unquestioned. although the representative of the American Farm Bureau urged its retention. The issue relative to the sales tax has de- veloped not so much on the question of whether 1t should be the substitute for the excess profits tax as on the question of whether it should be used to replace the miscellaneous excise tax as we'll as the excess profits tax.
 The excess profits tax, it has been estimated will yield during the next fiscal year only s450. 100000, while the miscellaneous excise taxes. which many organizations propose to repeal, will yield s90o o,0O0,00 or more The lowest estimate as to the yield of 1 per cent turnover tax is $500 .000,- 900. some claiming it will yield s2y 000,000,00 or more.

BLOCK ACTION ON APPROPRIA. TON BY DISARMAMENT
 ARGUMENTS.
MANY LONG SPEECHES MADE
Claim That Great Expenditures Ars Now Unnecessary ano In View of the Treasury and Country
 Are Inexpedient.

Washington. - The $500 ,0OO, ,000 ma val appropriation bill has been unabl. to make headway against the tide O. opposition from advocates of the Bo rah proposal for disarmament confer ences and reduction in appropria tions.
 Long speeches by Senator Pome rene, Democrat of Ohio, and LaFol lette, Republican of Wisconsin, pre- vented nay amendments from being reached, and when adjournment was taken LaFollette had not completed his argument. It is expected. how ever, that disposition of his amend ments probably will be begun later
 Both Senators Pomerene and La. Toilette claimed that great expendi. lures now are unnecessary and, in view of the condition of the Treasury and country, inexpedient Senator Pomerene supported the Borah amendment and also advocated one of his own, to clothe the president with authority to suspend capital ship construction for six months.
 Senator LaFollette said the navy building program was waste of the peoples money" The capital ships would become obsolete in five years, he said, and with development of air. craft, submarines and sea coast de- lenses the United States would be i'm pregnable from attack by any power or combination of powers.
 Senator Pomerene said rejection of the Borah amendment would "prac- tically close the door of hope of the world for disarmament"
 Demands for reduction of armament finally caused Senator Poindexter, Re- publican of Washington, in charge of the bill. to say that no information has been submitted to show any ex- travagance in the proposed naval pro- gram.
 Senator Pomerene replied that when officers with gold lace whis. pered 'Yap.' members of the Naval Committee had hysteria and voted for large appropriations.
 Senator Borah interjected that mili- tary expenditures were holding up projects like soldier relief. Western reclamation and other developments.
 Senator LaFollette said great financial interests" desired power full navy to protect their interests.
