MEMORIAL is APPROVED.
President o. KS Emplacement of
Tablet on Key Bridge.

The President has approved the act of
Congress authorizing the Society of
United Daughters of 1912 to place
bronze tablet on the Francis Scott
Key bridge.
The act provides that the District
Commissioners shall have charge of
the work of emplacement. The bridge
structure will not be transferred by
the War Department to the jurisdic-
tion of the District Commissioners
until it's completion in June next. 1t
is, therefore, probable that the society
will defer the emplacement and
dedication Of the tablet until after the
actual transfer of the bridge has been
made.

TAX Amendment.
DEBATED IN HOUSE
Measure Bitterly Attacked on
Ground 1t InvadeS States
Rights.

The House today faced four more
hours Of debate on the constitutional
amendment to prohibit the issuance
of tax-exempt securities preparatory
to consideration of the new revenue
bin ordered reported yesterday by
the ways and means committee.
Four hours of the eight allotted
under special rule for debate on
the amendment resolution were COM
pleted yesterday, with members of
both parties vigorously attacking the
measure on the grounds that it was
an invasion of states rights. The
resolution passed the House last year.
but was not voted upon in the Senate,
and yesterdays attack left its pro-
ponents apprehensive of its adoption.
The amendment provides in effect
that the federal government may tax
state and municipal bonds, and that
states and cities likewise may tax
federal securities. A two-thirds ma
jority is necessary for passage.
Compromise Proposed.
With the revenue bill now up to
the House. republican leaders are at
tempting to compromise the differ
ences splitting their forces over the
Surtax rates of Secretary Mellon,
which were approved by the commit
tee.
Representative Begg. republican,
Ohio. has been canvassing the dele
cations with a view to siscertaining
what maximum surtax rate could be
fixed to swing a solid party vote for
the bill. which would be necessary for
passage of republican measure. in
view of the democrats united stand
for higher surtax and lower normal
income tax rates. The bill as report
ed provides for a maximum surtax of
25 per cent, but 1t is believed by some
republicans that a 40 per cent rate
will be fixed.
