TAX BILL FACES
FIGHT IN SENATE
Most important Features of
Measure Strongly Opposed.
FORCES ARE WELL ORGANIZED
Such Powerful Republicans as LaFoL
lette. 6orah. Kenyon and Johnson
Of California Are Giving
Democrats support

Washington, Sept. 21.-The most
important features of the senate
finance committees tax revision pro-
gram are meeting with strong OPP
position that was thoroughly organ
lied In the senate. The Democrats.
win the assistance of a group OF Re
publican senator's. are opposing the
repeal of the excess profits tax. the
reduction of income surtaXes and the
retention Of 80 per cent of the freight
and passenger transportation taxes.
The Democratic program of Op-
position was worked out at a caucus.
Senator Simmons of Carolina, ranking
minority member of the finance com
mittee. submitted the minority report
on the tax bin To his colleagues and
plans were made for an attack upon
the important features of the COM
mittee's tax program.
Democrats Get Help.
The Democrats, according to minor
ity members of the finance commit
tee, will make a determined fight
against repeal of the excess profit tax
and against the reduction of the In
come surtaXes to 20 per cent. Sen
atOr Simmons said that he believed.
the surtaxes should not be reduced
10 less than 40 or even 45 per cent,
as the highest bracket.
In their fight the Democrats have
the support and assistance Of a group
Of powerful Republicans, including
Senators LaFOllette. BOrah, Kenyon.
Johnson, of California. and others.
These Republican senators have
held several preliminary conferences
at which they have discussed plans
for opposing the tax program on the
ground that the taxation relief pro-
vided I'm the committees bill would
go too largely to big business and too
little TO the small taxpayers.
A demand Is made by these sena-
tors that existing taxes on business
be retained, or reduced very little
until after a substantial portion Of
the tax burden has been lifted from
the shoulders of small salaried per
sons.
Amendments TO strike out the re-
peal of the excess profits and the re-
duction Of surtaxes were offered by
Senator LaFollette. He also seeks to
have existing inheritance taxes IN
creased. so that individual income
taxes can be reduced.
Fight for Sales Tax.
Several Republican members Of the
finance committee, in addition TO Sen
atOr LaFollette. oppose the retention
Of 80 per cent Of the freight and pas
.senger transportation taxes. provided
in the hill. Chairman Penrose adj
mitted that this provision may be
stricken out by the senate and the
transportation taxes repealed alto
gether.
Sales tax advocates In the senate
are making n fight for adoption Of
the sales tax plan as a substitute for
the entire tax bin. Senator SmOOt Of
Utah offered a bin imposing a manu-
facturers' sales tax Of 3 per cent as
a basis Of n simplified taxation sys-
TEN. and asked that II he substituted
for the finance committee measure.
The SmoOt proposal has been In
dorsed by the National Manufacture
ers' association. representing 100000
industrial plants.

Berlin, Sept 22-The town OF OPP
pau In the Rhine, Palatinate. was COM
pletely destroyed by an explosion in
the Badische Chemical works which
was followed by fire. The force of the
shock was felt for 10 miles.
The management of the Badische
Chemical works estimated that 1000
persons had been killed and 500 more
were so severely injured they prob
ably would die.
In addition. hundreds of others re-
ceived injuries and burns.
The damage is estimated at $780,
100000 marks. nominally S37 100000.
Dense clouds of smoke and chemi-
cal fumes which poured from the
wrecked watts hindered the work of
rescue. The rescuers had to wear
gas masks before they could venture
close TO the scene.
Heat Prevents Rescues.
IL was hours after the explosion
before the workers attempted TO pene-
trate TO the heart OF the explosion.
SO great was the heat and so dense
were the rolling clouds and deathly
fumes.

survived the disaster and were car

ambulances and trains.
