cause it will not be 80 difficult TO COL

production tax has not yet been de-
termined, but the idea appears to be
to impose the tax on the output of
very much as the pres
ent tax on automobiles is covered. In
such cases. of course, the manu-
facturer will pass on the payment of
the tax TO the consumer. as happens
with automobiles, but in the sales
tax proposal the chances were that
more than one tax would be imposed
on the same article as it passed to
various stages
The progress of the tax programme
Is expected to be more rapid after the
House finishes with the Permanent
Tariff Bill Indeed, it Is the Admins
tration's plan to have the Senate
sidetrack the Tariff Bill. when it gets
to the Senate; by having lengthy COM
mittee hearings.
The Revenue Bill agreed upon by
Republican leaders will also be intro
duced in the Senate and referred to
committee while it is being discussed
in the House. 1t will mean that the
Tax Bill will come out of the Senate
Finance Committee ahead of the

hope now is that both the Tax and
the Tariff Bills will be out of the way

1t was asserted by those friendly
to the proposal that sooner or later

Fordney tariff bin high and dry for

I'm my judgment the tariff bill
will never be discussed by the Senate
during this session." Senator Edge Of
New Jersey declared. As one Of the
leaders of group of Senators who
have consistently demanded that rev.

DEFENSE CAN GO AHEAD, REL

John F. Brennan. chief counsel for
Mrs. SJillman, here interrupted to
make objection. He commended that,
inasmuch as Mr.. Stillman does not
admit adultery, the evidence pre-
scented Is not necessarily sufficient
II the case goes to higher courts.
THE Defense" he said, should be
permitted to try it's case In its own
way"
John E. Mack, special guardian for
Guy Stillman, added his objection
that in view of the alleged con-
spiracy between James A. Stillman
and Florence H. Leeds" it would be
unfair for the referee to deprive Guy
Stillman of whatever advantage he
might obtain from further evidence.
THE guardian should be allowed to
prove to the utmost detail the init
macy between Mr.. Stillman and
Florence H. Leeds" said Mr.. Mack.
HE should also be permitted to prove
that Jay Leeds Is their child and
that the plaintiff for the last five
years has supported Mrs. Leeds in
the greatest luxury: that he has
opened a bank account in her name
and in that OF the child; that the re-
lationship of James A. Stillman and
Florence III. Leeds has been practi-
cally that OF man and wife, and that
this rela tionship continued after the
beginning of this action and has ex-
listed practically up to the present
time"
Referee Gleason then said that, as
the matter had been left to his die
erection, he would not grant Col
Rand's request THE defense will
proceed with the presentation OF it's
evidence, at least for the present,
