Washington = The new tax reduc-
ton bill was ordered favorably re-
ported to the Senate by the Finance
Committee Chairman Smoot believes
it cannot pass the Senate under three
on four weeks.
Hardly had the vote authorizing a
favorable. report been taken when
Senator Mccormick of Illinois, a com
mittee member, announced that he
would confer with twelve or fifteen
Northwestern and Middle Western Re
publicans in making up a substitute
schedule for the Mellon rates now in
the bill. While Mr.. Mccormick did
not indicate what his probable rates
would be, it was assumed they would
follow the Longworth proposals.
This group may hold that as the
Mellon rates may be defeated on the
floor, it is good policy to have Re-
publican schedule ready so that Dem
ocrats may not run away with the
Senate on their own proposals Their
strategy would be identical with that
pursued by Representative Long
worth, when at the last minute he
persuaded the House Radicals to de-
sert the Garner plan and join with him
in supporting a Republican compro-
mise.
Senator Smoct said that he thought
the bill was $69.OOO,000 short of the
revenue which it should raise Taxes
to raise $51, 100000 more than the bill
as sent from the House have been in
serted by the Finance Committee,
while, on the other hand, reductions
by the committee have resulted in in
come losses o. $49, 250,O00 When the
House sent the bill to the Senate it
was estimated to raise Sac, 10000.
The Democrats met again to discuss
their rates schedule, but said after
ward they would not make it public
until Mr.. Smoot submitted his MAORI
ty report. There were rumors that the
Democratic surtax plan would go as
high as 40 per cent on incomes of
100000 and above, with a levy of 80
to 35 per cent on 100000 incomes.
Those processing to know what the
rates are said the brackets on incomes
below $4,000 were lower than the
Mellon plan, those on $4,000 to $751;
600 incomes resembled the Mellon
brackets; those in $4,000 to 100000
were little higher. and the ones on
incomes beginning at 100000 were
much higher. The normal rates were
said to be 2 per cent on incomes up
to $4,000. 4 per cent on $4,000 to $4,000
incomes and per cent on incomes
above $4,000. S
1t was said that the personal exemp-
lions under the present law would not
be changed by the Democrats.

SHINES, RICHEST OF !.
ALL GERMANS, DEAD
His Wealth Is Estimated at More
Than a Billion Gold Marks
interests All Over World.

Berlin. - Hugo SHINES, Germany's
foremost industrialist and one of the
richest men in Europe, is dead. His
wife and other members of the family
were at his bedside. He was operated
on for gallstones several weeks ago,
another operation was performed on.
Sunday and his condition had become
complicated by peritonitis and pneu-
monia.
Stinnes's death, it is believed, will
have profound effect on the develop
ment of German policy, since he al
ways was regarded as the ringleader
of the intransigent industrialists,
whose policy of sabotage for Ger
many's treaty obligations contributed
in large degree to the conditions
that brought on the occupation of the
Ruhr and the international problems
which followed. There is little doubt
that the Ruhr occupation, chagrin,
worry and overwork were responsible
for his fatal illness.
His death at the moment when
settlement of the Francp-German con-
tiict was in sight is regarded as Pc
culiarly tragic. His passing is not
likely to affect his industrial and
financial enterprises, for, although he
was their supreme directing genius,
he leaves behind a perfect organiza-
ton able to continue his work.
Politically SHINES was an idol of
the German Peoples party, formerly
the National Liberals, which he was
said to have financed after the revolu-
ton.
