OF TRANSPORTATION TAXES IS
PASSED WITHOUT NEGATIVE VOTE
Other Compromise Proposals

Easy Sailing.
(ey The Associated Press

lican compromise tax revision program
was started on its way through the SEN
ate today with the adoption without a
dissenting or record vote OF an amend
ment proposing repeal on next January
of the transportation taxes on freight,
passenger. Pullman accommodations, exs

behind the scenes that some Of the other
compromise proposals would not find as
easy sailing.
Senators in the so-caIled manufacture.
er's bloc, supported by house leaders,
were all set to launch their fight against
the fifty per cent maximum income sur.
tax rate after it's introduction.
House leaders were understood to have
made it plain that they would not recede
from the original house maximum rate
OF 80 per cent, but some senators were
of the opinion that the reduction likely
TO be made by the conferees would not
be quite as great as is per cent.
Before adopting the transportation tax
repeal amendment, the senate voted
down. 3s to 80. an amendment by Sena.
tor Trammell, democrat. Florida, propos-
ing that the repeal be effective ten days
after the passage of the bill. Disposal OF
these two amendments constituted prac-
tically all progress made today on the
bill itself. Much of the day was given
over to a prepared address by Senator
Smoot, republican, Utah, explaining his
proposal for a manufacturers sales tax
and to political row over the tax bin
