Washington, July 24.-Money- mis-

don Of congressional committees at
each end of the capitol this week with
the Senate finance committee opening
hearing tomorrow on the Fordney

means committee ready for discussion
Of the next tax bill Tuesday.
Although the tariff bill, passed by
the House Thursday and designed to
raise about q half billion dollars in
, revenue annually. was going into It's
second stage, interest was somewhat
subordinated to the tax measure, which
must produce more than seven times
as much. The House committee has
| a mass of bills for tax revision OF a
varying nature before it, and the Re-
! publican members also have been ad-
vised of the treasury's views but with
all Of this the committee will devote
four days to hearing what the tax pay
ers have to say before beginning actual
revision.
Meanwhile, the Senate finance com
mittee had under consideration plal
to establish q clearing house Of ex
perts who would sift out suggestion
regarded as worth while from th'
tax revision basket.
American valuation provisions of tn
Fordney bill will be the first takel
up by the senate committee, and to
morrow and Tuesday will be devote
to consideration OF that controversial
: section Of the measure. The chemica
5 schedule OF the bill will next be give
attention because Of the demand froT
: some quarters for a dye embargo.

The house ways and means commit

during the four days. Numerous re-
quests have been made for opportun-
