Part Publicity for All
Incomes Voted BY House

Washington.-Par publicity OF
tax returns is provided in an amend
ment to the tax bill adopted by the
house in committee of the whole on
Friday.
The amendment, which was sup
ported by the Democrats and by In
surgent Republicans and opposed by
most of the regular Republicans, di-
reefs the secretary of the treasury to
furnish information contained in in
come tax feturns at the request of the
finance committee of the senate ways
and means committee of the house, or
a special committee of either house.
The house first rejected much
broader amendment for full publicity
of tax returns offered by Representa-
tive Frear (Rep, Wis.) Leading Dem
ocrats as well as Republicans object
ed to the Frear amendment on the
ground that it would constitute an I'm
proper invasion of the rights of an in
dividual to keep his private business
affairs secret from his competitors or
from his neighbors,

HOUSE TO REVISE
MELLON TAX BILL
Garner Opposed TO Income
Reduction to StaUe
off Veto.

Washington, D. C.-The revenue bin
has entered its final stage of house
consideration, facing further revision
by the democratic-republic insurgent
coalition
When the estate or inheritance tax
section is taken up Representative
Ramseyer, republican, Iowa, will offer
an amendment to increase these rates.
Charles Green of the ways and means
committee also has announced he
would propose gift tax, republican
insurgents are behind both proposals
and the democratic report on the. bill
by the ways and means committee
members also suggested such re-
visions.
Further contests are in prospect on
the other miscellaneous taxes as well
as on the proposal to reduce the 1923
income taxes which are payable this
year, democrats opposing the provision
for a fiat % per cent cut with an offer
to make their income rate schedule
approved recently made retroactive
for a year.
Representative Garner, Texas, lead
er of the democratic tax force, has res
iterated that he would not support any
extended reductions other than those
carried in the bill without providing
for the additional revenue from other
sources in order to minimize the
grounds for a presidential veto.
Republicans claim, on the basis Of
treasury estimates, that the measure
with the democratic income rates al
ready adopted, will cause deficit of
$9O0,OO0,O0O in 1926. The democrats
assert that their plan will raise more
revenue next year than would have
been possible under the Mellon plan.
While republican leaders continue ne
gotiations with view to throwing out
the democratic income tax schedule
when the measure comes up for final
vote, both republican insurgent and
democratic spokesman insist they have
gained strength

ed the rebel forces that evacuated
Guadalajara, together with those gar
risoning the state Of Colima, arrested

and Nunez, who later were able to
effect their escape and board vessel
at Manzanillo for an unknown desti-
nation.
General Anzaldo with all the forces
under his command placed himself at
the orders of the federal government.

paign against the rebels in the states
of Jalisco, Colima and Michoacan has
practically come to an end, as the only
scattered group of rebels fleeing with
General Dieguez and General Estrada
is being hotly pursued and its com
plete humiliation is expected at any

With Disaster Verdict

Washington.-The findings in each
case of the seven naval officers acquit-

court-martial held after the wreck of
seven destroyers last September 8 on
the California coast are disapproved
in Endorsements placed on the court
martial records by both Secretary Den

The Endorsements were made public
by the Navy department with state
ment noting that disapproval of the
findings by the secretary did not serve
as a basis for retrial of the cases, but
was simply an expression of the sec
retary's views of the courts action. :
