Commons FavOrs
Change Voting
Age of Women to 81

London. Feb. 29-(By A. PD-The
house of commons today accepted
the principle of giving women the
vote ut the age of Il instead Of at
80 as under the present law, by pass
ing the second reading of the meas
ure known as the AdamSon bill.
The measure received the large
ma jority of ZIG, but then by vote
OF 247 to q the house declined to
refer the bill to the committee of the
whole house so that its future fate
depends upon whether time can be
spared from essential government
business in the present session to put
the bill through it's further stages.
The measure is what Is known as
n private members bill" for which
the government is not responsible
and further 1t proposes number of
controversial changes in the exist
ing law affecting the municipal
franchise and other matters.
Deputy Leader Clynes explained
that the government was favorable
to the principle involved, but point
ed out the bill would have n better
chance IL it was limited to the SIM
pie matter OF women's vote without
these trouble making clauses. The
government, however, would do
whatever possible for it. There Is a
possibility. therefore, that although
the government had made no actual
promise, the bill may be again sub
mitted to the house in simpler form
and time found to pass it during the
present session.

COMPROMISE BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE,;
INSURGENTS Line Up

Washington, Feb. 29-By a vote
of 40S to s. the revenue bill was
passed late today by the house.
AS sent to the senate, the measure
carries an income tax schedule of
fered by Representative Longworth,
the Republican leader. as substi-
tute for the Democratic rates. This
was adopted PIG to 1913, after the
house had refused by vote of 261 to
1853 to re-insert in the bill the orr
ginal Mellon schedule.
The Longworth substitute which
was supported by Republican insur-
gents who previously had thrown
their lot with the Democrats, pro-
vides for q normal tax reduction to
two per cent on incomes below ST.
600, to five per cent on incomes be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000 and to six
per cent above $1,000. 1t also would
sest by one-fourth the present sur
tax rates, making the maximum
81 10 per cent on incomes exceed
ing $200,00O. No increase in existing
personal tax exemptions would be
allowed.
The house also approved a pro-
posal for a fiat reduction of 70 per
cent on all personal income taxes
payable this year. Two unsuccess-
full efforts were made to eliminate
this provision.
Specific rate changes carried in the
bill will not become effective until
tax payments are made next year on
income and profits of 1924, except
those made in the excise levies
which would go into effect thirty
days after enactment of the law.
In addition to the new income tax
schedule, major provisions of the
bill as approved today are:
A twenty-five per cent reduction in
taxes on earned income, all incomes
under $1,000 being defined as earned
for purposes of this reduction.
Repeal or reduction Of many of
the miscellaneous or excise taxes.
involving about $12O,OOO,OO0 in
revenue annually.
Tightening of the limitations of
capital loss and gross income de-
auctions which. it is estimated, will
yield about $60,O00,O00 revenue an
nually.
Increases in the estate tax rates
of about 3S per cent.
Institution of a gift tax, with the
same rates as carried in the estate
tax.
Creation of a board of tax appeals
to decide tax disputes ncween the
treasury and taxpayers.
Opening of the income tax returns
to inspection by certain congression-
al committees.
