At any rate, as the situation stands
the Quakers. or rather adherents OF
the Philadelphia institution, have as
warrantable claim to present primacy
as any other team.
Here is Syracuse, unbeaten and
rated way up, but the Orange in its
important games thus far has not
played SO poor a brand of foot ball
in several seasons.
Yale stands way up on her showing
and yet it has succeeded only in
tying the three strong opponents She
has met this year.
Dartm outh Appears Best.
Dartmouth in tying Yale and beat
ing Brown and Harvard has done
better than any eleven and is prob
ably the best of the Eastern teams
thus far-which, as already set forth,
is not saying a great deal. Yet as
to Penn and Dartmouth the Quakers
get shade of advantage, not be
cause of theory as to the relative
strength of the two teams, but be-
cause they have defeated an eleven
which up to last Saturday was rated
in the very top fight. Here is a fact

theory.

Alabama Is Powerful.
Alabama is extremely formidable.
She has two fine backs in Brown and
Rosenfelt, both being very fast. Ala
bama sends most of her plays from
kick formation, and the handling of
an opposing teams tackles is as fine
an exhibition of what can be done in
this respect as the South has ever
shown.
The line is rugged throughout. The

The postponements in the delivery
of the report to the reparation COM

source of much speculation. 1t was
openly stated that unsurmountable diff

en- Provisions OF Measure Outside
OF Incomes-May Get Support of
Some Insurgent Republicans -
Senate Will Get Bill by Wednesday

Washington, April 6-The reporting
OF the revenue bill to the senate by
the finance committee, in sight for
this week, was heralded today by q
war cry Of Democrats which forecast
a battle on practically every major
rate schedule.
Senator Simmons, North Carolina,
ranking Democrat on the finance
committee. declared today the minor
ity members would propose changes
In about a dozen provisions of the
bill outside of the income tax rate
schedule.
Democratic members Of the finance
committee expect to work out def
nitely tomorrow the substitute in
come tax rate plan which they will
offer for the Mellon rates. On this
schedule. the heart Of the bill, their
main attack will be centered with
support assured from some Republi-
can insurgents. The exact division
of the forces, however, IS problemati-
cal pending announcement Of the plan
the Democrats will offer, some of
their own members being counted
doubtful on high surtaX rates.
Republicans also are dubious over
the outlook for the Mellon rates, al
ready turned down by house MAORI
ty members, but none has made a
move toward a compromise.
Include in the other rate schedules
which the Democrats probably will
attack are the automobile and cor
poration taxes Senator Jones, Demo-
crat, New Mexico, proposed in COM
mittee substitution Of graduated
scale Of rates for the fiat corporation
tax Of 1914 percent which the COM
mittee voted to make IA percent along
with elimination of the special tax on
capital stock.
Senator Walsh, Massachusetts. a
Democratic member of the commit
tee, yesterday introduced an amend
ment on the automobile taxes which
he will press on the floor. 1t would
repeal entirely the five percent tax
on automobile tires, parts and Access
sories which the committee and the
house agreed to cut in half.
Senator Jones also is planning to
propose substitution of an Inherit
ance tax for the estate tax which
would make the levy applicable to re-
cipients of estates rather than direct
ly to the estate of a descendent be-
fore it is divided.
Chairman Smoot predicted today
the committee would conclude its
work on the bill by Tuesday, perhaps
by tomorrow, after which 1t would be
reported officially to the senate.
1t will not be taken up on the floor
however, he added, before next week
members being allowed several days
to study Its provisions.
Som sentiment also has been ex-
pressed in Republican ranks for plac-
ing the soldier bonus bill ahead OF the
tax measure on the flor. The bonus
will be taken up by the committee
Immediately upon disposition of the
