Washington, Jan. 23.(Spocial.l---
Despite efforts OF leaders in congress

Of the next house, the dry forces

strength in sn effort to defeat Repre-.

Friends of both Representative

to happen.
The fight against Representative

Bill Barring Tax
Exempt Securities
Passed by House
Proposed Amendment Faith
cred by Bluffs Man Car
ries After Brisk
Struggle.

Washington, jan. 23.-The Green
resolution proposing an amendment
to the constitution which would pro.
hlbit further issuance of tax exempt
securities was adopted tonight by the
house.
The proposal. which had been urged
by President Harding and Secretary
Mellon. was put through after an un-
usually bitter all-day wrsngle, by a
margin of votes. Passage of the
resolution required a two.thirds vote,
and the rollcall stood, 223 to 101.
Republicans opposing it and demo.
Gratis supporting it split about even,
90 democrats joining administration
leaders. while "a republicans broke
away from party lines and voted
against 1t. The measure now goes
to the senate, but some house lead
ers privately expressed the opinion
that there was not much chance OF
its enactment at this session.
Amendments Killed.
Amendments were offered by the
score, but they were knocked out
with little ceremony, after half
hour fight over the improper use OF
a couple of commas in the text OF
the resolution.
Representative Green of Iowa, rank
ing republican on the ways ant
means committee, who drafted tho
proposal, and Representative Garner
of Texas, ranking democratic com
mitteeman, took charge of the fight
for the two sides. The argument
swung around the oft-repeated state
mepts that the measure was designed
to prevent the rich man seeking a
tax free haven, and that it was an in
vasion of the right of the states tc
control their own credit.
Offer Changes.
Representative Moore, democrat
Virginia. tried to get in an amend
ment making the law imperative un
less ratified within five years and
Representative London. socialist, New
York. one which would make it effec-
tive, il ratified, in 1945. Both were
rejected.
The principal fight was over Mr.
Garner's amendment which he ex-
planned was designed to prevent the
levying OF a prohbitive tax on state
bonds or the imposition of a higher
tax on income from state bonds than
that levied on income from other
sources. Without discussion the house
refused to exempt federal farm loan
and joint stock land bank bonds.
