Despite slow progress on the tax bill
to-day Senator Penrose (Pa.). chair
man OF the finance committee. stated
that he fully expected the measure TO be-
come a law by the end OF the month.
with the final vote Friday, October 21.
In line with yesterdays acton repeal
ing transportation taxes the Senate
voted to repeal existing taxes on parcel
post packages cent for each 25 cents
CT postage or fraction thereof when the
postage Is 25 cents or more.
The Senate refused, however. to repeal
the existing taxes on telephone, tele-
graph, cable and radio messages.
The action taken in both cases was In
accordance with the compromise agree
ment reached by Republicans. Senator
Reed (Mo) sponsored the unsuccessful
attempt to obtain repeal Of the tax on
wire and wireless messages. Senator
Penrose objected because little or no
complaint had been made against this
tax.
Senator Reed delayed action when he
sought to force vote on the chewing
gum tax. He wanted to know the why's
and wherefores of the Finance Com
mittee's agreement to eliminate this tax
as an Objectionable nuisance levy. He
asked for Information from the Repub-
|
Lanything to do with considerable cam
paign fund contribution from William
wrigley, Jr, or whether 1t was a de-
mand OF the so-called agricultural bloc
in the interest of square jawed girls
who use the product, Or possibly con-
spiracy Of dentists to increase their
business.
Senator Ashurst (Ariz) took offence
because several Senators had made
humorous remarks at the expense Of the
agricultural bloc He declared there
are ten bold Democrats and ten bold
Republicans" who will demand that
tariff protection as manufacturers, that
the farmers have a representative on
the Federal Reserve Board with that
body taken from the control of Wall
Street, that s'truth in fabric" legislation
be passed apd mat other measures. II
the interest Of agriculture be enacted
into law.
Advocacy by Senator Ashurst Of a
protective tariff for farm products drew
a rebuke from Senator Hitchcock
(Neb.). who said that in spite Of the
emergency tariff law prices OF agr1cul.
tiral commodities have been steadily
dropping.
Senator Ashurst criticised the opera
ton Of both the War Finance Corpora
ton and the Federal Farm Loan Board
in connection with the relief OF agr1cui-
ture.
1T is my belief that we can pass the
revenue bill with the Republican vote
without concession or alignment with
the minority, which has shown a decided
partisan spirit" said Senator Penrose.
II look for all amendments suggested
by the Finance Committee and those ac-
re aA hv hn mn fnrf< oF <hA
can members to be a part of the bill
No amendments from the minority OF
any other source will have any show to
be acted upon. Two or three days In
conference will be sufficient for final
agreement on the bill"

plaint had been made that Vaccarelli
was renting trucks for SIS day and re-
