tBy Associated Press)

Republicans we're to pass today on
the administration tax revision bill as
drafted by the majority members of
the ways and means committee and
decide upon procedure in the house
during consideration of the measure,
planned now to begin Wednesday.
Under a program understood TO
have been mapped out by house lead
ers, the Republican conference would
approve a special rule providing for
passage of the bill next Saturday
after two days of general debate and
two days for the consideration Of
amendments under the 5-minute rule
Priority would be given committee
amendments if the present plan goes
through.
The bill as drafted is designed to
raise approximately $4,000. 100000 dur
ing the calendar year in 1922, and its
most outstanding features are privis-
ions for repeal of the excess profits
tax and the income surtaxes IN ex-
cess of 80 per cent, and an increase
in the normal corporation income tax
of five per cent. making the ma aximum
Is per cent.
Other Amendments
Other amendments to the 1918 law
include additional exemptions for the
heads of families and married men re-
ceiving small incomes; repeal of the
stamp taxes on toilet preparations
and proprietary medicines. and the
substitution of manufacturers taxes
for the so-called nuisance levies. De-
tails of all of these changes previous.
ly have been published.
Majority members of the ways AMI
means committee expected the Re
publican conference called for loo
D. m. today to make few, if any
changes in the committee draft. For
NAL presentation of the bill to the
house late today was planned and il
then would be made public.
Democratic members of the ways
and means committee will begin a
study of, the measure after it is in
troduced with view to determining
whether they will offer a minority
report.
The Democratic attack on the bill
was launched yesterday by Chairman
George White of the Democratic ma
tional committee, who warned the ad
ministration that the business men OF
the country were not to be fooled
by the methods of political jugglery'
which he claimed the Republicans had
adopted in framing their whole tax
revision program.

panies of state militia were held in
readiness here today TO suppress pos
sible disorders growing out of the re-
opening of number of cotton mills
closed several months because of a
strike of operatives.
Several thousand workers were in
volved in the strike and minor dis
turbances last week when several of
the smaller mills resumed led city
and county authorities to appeal to
Governor Morrison to send troops to-
day as a precautionary measure.
The strike was called June l fol-
lowing a wage cut of about 40 per
cent. Since then the strikers have
maintained a line of piekets around
the mills. and frequent small clashes
have occurred
With the general reopening of the
mills today the authorities feared the
situa ton might get out of control,
which prompted the call for troops.

Foreign trade will have to be

Foreign trade will have to be re-
opened said Mrs. A. w. Roach, Mon
day. Our present business depres-
sion, as understand, has been caused
by an over supply of products which
we usually export. AS soon as for
eign credits are re-established and it
is possible to export again, our unem-
ployed can go back to work.
ut will be necessary for US all to
realize that we can not keep up the
false standard Of living that many of
US had during the war. In times
such as these we will have to live on
sane basis, and practise sensible
economy.

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Since the
sixty-seventh congress assembled in
special session, early last April, there
have been over 5000 bills introduced
in the house and over $500 introduced
in the senate.
There are those who say that the
one month recess congress proposes
to take, beginning the latter part of
this month. is advisable if for no 9TH
er reason than to limit the volume of
actual and proposed legislation for the
session, which was called for the sole
purpose of enacting new tariff and
revenue laws.
With their. calendars constantly
cluttered with pending legislation, a
great part of it trivial, both the SEN
ate and the house find it necessary TO
hold legislative sessions half of each
day in the week, except Sunday. The
important work of shaping legislation
is done in committee, but as a rule,
the comittees find it impossible TO
hold daily sessions of more than two
hours, and always in the forenoons
Legislative sessions begin at noon
in the senate and in the house. Com
mittee sessions in the afternoon are
impractical because committee mem
bers would be summoned constantly to
the floor of their chamber TO answer
roll calls, no quorum calls and to
vote.
Members of the senate finance com.
mittee have before them the two ma
jor measures of the session. the tariff
bill and the revenue bill. The former
measure was passed by the house re.
