Whether the effort to apply general

Washington, Nov 25.-The tax re-
vision bill became law late today.
President Harding signing it at tho
capitol during the closing hour of the
special session of congress.
The executive signature was attach
ed within less than an hour after the
senate had completed enactment OF
the measure by agreeing to the con-
ference report by 30 to 90. Six Re-
publicans. Borah. I.add, La Toilette.

This is the bill which repeals tho

and luxury taxes. reduced Individual
taxes all along the limo and increases
the corporation income tax from 10 to
12a per cent
Few, IL any senator's supporting the
measure. were entirely satisfied with
all of its sections but they took the
view that 1t contained more good
provisions than bad ones. The mea-
sure is generally conceded to be only
a temorary ono and the understand
ing now is that a new revision bill
will have to be framed within a year
or SO.
In four hours OF debate. the bill re-
ceived much condemnation. Each of
the dozen senator's who spoke had
some complaint 10 make while several
sharply criticised the bill. Senator
smoot Republican OF Utah. said:
Tho people from ono end OF the
country to the other are not satisfied
with the bill
He declared he thought In 1879 tho
bill would ''bc materially amended"
because OF Its discriminatory taxes
and the high surtaxcs."

that they represented In thc!r neco-
