This is the bill which repeats the

so-called nuisance and luxury. taxes,

line and increases the corporation in

Few II any senators supporting
the measure were entirely satisfied
with all of it's sections, but they
took the view that 1t contained more
good provisions than bad ones The
measure is generally conceded to be
only a temporary one and the I'M
derstauding now is that a new reYis-
ion bill viii have to be framed within
a year or so.
Much Condemnation
In the four hours Of debate which
preceded the Senate vote. the bill re-
ceived little OF commentator and
much OF condemnation. Every SEN
ator who spoke-and there. were
nearly a dozen-had some complaint
to make while several sharply criti
cised the bill as a whole. Senator
Calder. republican, New York, de-
clared 1t would be a disappointment
to the people of this country" and
Senator Smoot, republican, Utah, said
the people from one end of the coun
try to the other are not satisfied with
the bilf.''
Senator Smoot declared that ne
thought in 1922 the bill would be
amended and materially amended
because of its discriminatory" taxes
and the high surfaces.
The managers on the part of the
Senate were assailed by Senator
Hitchcock, democrat, Nebraska, and
others who asserted that they repre-
scented in their negotiations with the
House managers not the sentiment
of the majority of the Senate. but
only that of the dominant element"
of the republicans in the Senate.
Meeting i'm Secret
Senator Walsh, democrat, Massa-
chusetts, inveighed against a system
under which. he said, managers of the
House and Senate, meeting in secret.
without their individual votes going
on record, should overturn the ex-
pressed will of either branch of the
Congress. He warned that il this
system was continued there would be
revolution in the country. Other
on poAn sues disagreed as TO
the result pictured, but agreed that
the system was faulty.
Explaining that he would vote for
the bill because he believed some of
its administrative features were an
Improvement over some of those in
existing law, Senator Smoot said he
agreed with many of the criticisms
aimed at the bill but not with all of
them because some were mot made
in good faith"
Turning to the democratic side, he
said:

instead of red" He was referring to

The story is told of how, on one oc-

From the kitchen came the perfume
of savory meats. and at dinner a
sturdy, rosy-cheeked man-servant made
his appearance, his back bending un-

Poor Archer's face, as he surveyed
the initial preparations for the evening
meal, was quite piteous to watch.
Then. with shrug of the shoulders
and sigh, but ill-concealed by cyni-
cal remark, he left the table, and
shortly afterward his host saw him
pass the window on hack, galloping
toward the training grounds.

Attack Is Applauded.

The house broke into a wild shout, half the members rising. Blanton, jumping to his feet, demanded the right to speak. He was howled down, the chair sustaining a point of order that he could not be heard at that time on a question of personal privilege
 MT. Summers, walking back and forth continued the attack, Blanton's eyes following every step. The speech was constantly interrupted with shouting at the conclusion of almost every sen tence of denunciation. MT. Summers declared the record showed that no ef- fort had been made to slip through q salary increase bill and that MT. Blan- tons claim that he WAS forced to re main constantly on the floor to block tt was utterly absurd and untrue.
 The demonstration reached remarka- ble proportions when tap of the gayel marked the close of the time allotted for the speech Democrats, first on their feet in body, were joined at the same instant by every republican. There was a rush to the front as members struggled to grasp Mir Summers by the hand

Blanbon, his voice still pitched high, again at tempted to gain a hearing. Again he was howled down, as dozen republi- cans insisted on enforcing of the rule that he take his seat.
 After the hubbub had kept up for sev- eral minutes Chairman Slemp of the subcommittee, in charge of the forti- fications bill, which was before the house. gave Blanton three minutes to reply, but nobody could hear half he said. Right at the start Mir. Blanton caused a row by charging that Repre- sentative Campbell, democrat of Penn sylvania. had asked him to keep away when the salary bill was called up.
