Washington, Sept. 29.-Senate
consideration of the republican
tax revision bill was featured to-
day by the introduction Of sweep
ing amendments from the demo-
cratic side, a row between Chair
man Penrose, of the finance COM
mittee and Senator Simmons, Of
North Carolina, ranking democrat
on that committee, and charge
by Senator La Toilette, republican.
Wisconsin, that features of the
bill, dealing with foreign trade
and foreign trade corporations,
constituted "a device TO enable in
dlviduals of great wealth to escape
taxation"
Behind the scenes there were
some efforts to bring about an
agreement among opponents Of the
committee bill on the more out
standing tax features, but appar-
emily there were no final conclu-
sions. Republican senators in the
agricultural bloc" were confident
however that with the aid of the
democrats. they could defeat the
committees plan to continue tax
es on freight, passenger and Pull
man accommodation for another
year at half the present rates.
Repeal of these levies was one
of several proposals put forward
by Senator Simmons on behalf Of
the minority members Of the fl
nance committee. The others in
clrled a maximum surtax rate of
SO per cent in place of the pro-
posed 80 per cent: retention Of
the corporation capital stock tax,
which the committee would repeal
next year; repeal of the $4,000
exemption allowed corporations
and of the special taxes on brokers
and proprietors of theaters and
other places OF amusement and on
owners of automobiles operated

Under the Simmons amendment
to the surtax provision, the rates

that the levies would be SO per

Senator LaFollette. republican.
Wisconsin, launched the opening
attack on the bill, assailing the
section defining foreign traders
and foreign trade corporations.
He declared that the proposal to
exempt from taxation their income
derived outside of the United States
was a device to enable individuals
of great wealth to escape taxation.'
"That this proposal should be
seriously put forward at this time
by the people representatives,
he saia, only shows how completely
the great financial interests of our
country control our government.
"The demand for this legislation
has come from those captains OF
industry whose wealth has been so
largely created or augmented by
the war. They have been so fed
up on war profits thst the field Of
domestic industries. large though
its returns may be, is not enough.
China, Mexico, Russia and other
undeveloped or war-stricken coun-
tries permit them fabulous profits
and a chance td escape the financial
burdens of that war from which
they have so largely profited."
The senator declared that with
factories closed, farmers in distress
and millions unemployed there
never was time when the United
States stood in such need OF capital
to develop its resources.

When reporting for the World, he
wrote such excellent copy that skep-

to his fellow-men to develop that
wonderful gift. He will have one
great advantage at least-he will
start his professional career with a
natural aptitude for words, for plot,
writer's lack, and must acquire by
slow and painful processes. In his
first venture he has shown the innate
good sense and judgment to write
about things boy would know
about. rather than about something
about before him. Not many of us
have the sense to follow this admir-
able line in our beginnings. We think
that romance is something which
happens to other folks. in other
lands, whereas. as Horace has di-
vined, it is something which happens
to us in our own lives.

mother was Miss Harriet Johnson, of
Kentucky. He has lived in San Fran

is in Chicago. His movie" released

Judge Ben Lindsey, of Denver.

efforts had been made to arrest VIC

been tried and convicted.
