GERMANS VOTE
ON DAWES PLAN
Coalition of Middle Parties
FaUoring the Report Seems
Assured by Election.

Berlin-A parliamentary coalitiona
comprising the socialist, clerical, DEM
ocratic and peoples parties, which
will command a sufficient majority to.
put the provisions of the Dawes re-
port into execution, has been assured
by the general elections held through
out Germany on Sunday.
This is the conclusion reached at
government headquarters after a com~
petent appraisal of the returns.
Assuming that the peoples party
and the socialists continue to main
tain their position in Sundays ball
loting, as reflected in the early re-
turns, it is very probable that the
backing in the new reichstag to en-
able it to carry through th~ consti-
tutional amendments with only linn
tied outside aid from the independent
factions, of which there will be sew
eral groups.
While the nationalists and COM
munists show decisive gains, it is not
considered that their increase will con-
stitute a menace to the policies to-
which the four coalition parties are
pledged.
The ultra reactionaries, led by Gen.
Ludendorff, failed to develop their ex-
pected strength
The voting in the occupied areas
preceded without obstruction. A very
large socialist and communist vote
was registered in the Ruhr, Saxony.
Thuringia and the Industrial districts
of greater Berlin.
In the local residential precincts the
German nationalists and the Luden-
dorff party led the others.
The heavy turnout of voters
throughout Germany presages an in
crease of at least fifteen deputies in
the new reichstag, advancing tbs
membership to ATS. While the new
corners will be credited to the exc
treme right and left parties, they will
be unable to strengthen the opposition
to the solid middle bloc, which is ex-
pected, TO command ESQ mandates.

PUBLICITY FOR
INCOME TAXES
Senate Votes to Put Returns
on Same Basis as Pub
lie Documents.

Observation-Disclosures the Repub-
sively the senate adopted an amend
ment to the tax bill by Senator Nor
ris of Nebraska, providing for COM
plete publicity of tax returns. The
Norris amendment was adopted by
vote Of 48 to q. In addition to this
action, an amendment by Senator Nc
Kellar of Tennessee, which makes all
claims for abatement or refund Of
taxes, including the decisions, public
records and subject to inspection.
The Norris amendment, which ap-
plies to all tax returns, was adopted
by a combination of Democratic votes
and progressive Republican votes. The
action of the senate on publicity OF
returns was a blow at the finance COM
mittee, which had reported provision
providing that congressional commit
tees, under certain machinery must see
tax returns and make them public II
deemed advisable. The Norris amend
ment is a brief one which writes into
the bill the provision that records
'shall be open to examination and In
spectiOn as other public records under
the same rules and regulations as may
govern the examination of public docu-
ments, generally"
The Mcclellan amendment provides
that "all claims for abatement Of re-
funds of taxes, including the decisions,
shall likewise be subject to inspection
under similar rules"
Senator Smoot and other committee
leaders do not intend to rest with the
decision of the senate, which was made
in committee of the whole. They will
force another test in the senate proper,
when the bill reaches that stage in its
consideration.
Early in the day an amendment In
troduced by Secretary Mellon, limiting
deductions from net income derived
from tax-exempt securities, was re-
tected 81 to 36 following a union Of
Democratic and insurgent forces.
