 APPEARS ASSURED,
 SAYS PROPONENTS
Continued from Page one)

the charge was made from the dem- ocratic side that there was move ment afoot to strip the measure so as to make necessary the adoption of a general sales tax.
 E. This was denied by Senator Pen rose of Pennsylvania, in charge CT the bill, who said it was not the time to bring forward sales tax. He assured the Senate that even If all the items proposed for repeal went out of the bill there would be mar gin of s10.O00, 900 between the gov .ernment income and outgo.
 Two Alternate Plans.
 The sales tax discussion was &C., cepted as notice of the fight that Is to come when Senator Shoot, repub- lican, Utah, brings up his proposals for such a tax, probably on Thurs day. Tho Utah senator introduced to- day two modified and alternate sales tax plans. One proposes 1 per cent levy on all manufactured goods where sales exceed S6.000 a year, and the other proposes a general turnover tax of # of l per cent where the sales exceed $6,000.
 Senator Shoot previously had or- fered an amendment providing for a general manufacturers sales tax Of per cent, with certain exemptions, this to be in lieu of all the miscel- laneous taxes. His new plans would replace many of the miscellaneous eX- cises and would provide for 10 per cent tax on corporations in place or the 15 per cent rate tentatively agreed upon by the Senate. If is understood to be Senator Shoots plan to offer his amendments one by one, with the view of test ing Senate sentiment on each of the three proposals. While there have been some recruits to the sales tax idea. the Shoot ideas are to meet | stiff opposition from both sides or the chamber.
