WASHINGTON, April 8.-Continu-
ing its inquiry into the prohibition
situation in Illinois, the senate
Daugherty committee today heard
further charges of lax enforcement
and protection" by federal and state
officials.
Brice F. Armstrong. a prohibition
agent, again was on the witness
stand. One of his complaints was
that the Western brewery case
was nolle pressed on orders from the
Department of Justice in Washing
ton, although the local investigators
believed the case should be pressed.
Armstrong said he and other
agents had seized eighteen half bar
rels of three percent beer from the
| brewery and recommended prosecu-
| ton. w. o. Potter, United states
attorney at East St. Louis, the wit
ness said, told him that he had IN
structions from the department to
| drop the case, and that was done
1t was stated by the secretary of
! the brewery company at the time,
Armstrong added, that a $4,000 offer
in settlement had been accepted by
| the government.
The witness told also of failures to
prosecute in the Garden City Brew
cry case, and of efforts made to re-
move him as enforcement agent be-
| cause he would not stop buying
| LIQUOR at saloons they" did not want
! prosecuted.
The senate, meanwhile, has con-
| firmed the nomination OF Harlan f.
| Stone, of New York, to be attorney
| general, and all that remained today
/ to place the Department of Justice
again under the direction of a cabi-
| net member was the formality OF

REVENUE BILL
REPORTED TO
SENATE TODAY
Provides for Retroactive Re.
duction of 25 Per Cent. on
1923 Income Taxes
PAYABLE THIS YEAR
Also Permanent Revision of
Rates in Accordance to
Secretary Melons Plan

y
WASHINGTON, April S:-The
new revenue bill was ordered favor
ably reported to the senate today by
the finance committee.
1t provides, as reported, for a re-
troactive reduction of 25 per cent on
1923 income taxes which are pay
able this year; permanent revision
of the income tax rates in accord
ance with the plan of Secretary
Mellon; a special reduction of 25 per
cent in taxes on earned income; and
repeal of many of the miscellaneous
and excise taxes.
The scope of tax reduction was
narrowed, however, from that pro-
vided by the House bill. warning OF
a treasury deficit under its terms
leaving forced restoration of some
of the miscellaneous taxes stricken
out during House consideration of
the measure.
The measure was ordered report
ed on a strictly party vote, nine to
seven. Democrats announced their
opposition was based on the Mellon
income rates schedules carried by
the bill.
The committee will be called
either tomorrow or Thursday to take
up the soldier bonus bill, Chairman
Smoot said. He predicted not more
than three days would be required
to get a report on the bill.
The chairman does not expect to
call the tax bill up for consideration
in. the senate before the middle of
next week.
AS framed by the committee, MIR.
Smoot estimated the tax bill would
fail by 100000 of raising suffici-
ent revenue to meet the regular gov
ernment expenses in the first year OF
its operation. This estimate did not
take into account, he added, special
appropriation bills which might be
passed by congress this session, in
cluding the bonus bill which 1t has
been estimated would require an ex-
penditure of S135,000 the first year
In winding up consideration oil
affirmed it's action of last night
eliminating the treasury provision
to tax indirectly the income from
tax exempt securities. This provi-
sion, it was estimated, would have
netted the government S35,0OO,OOO
annually.
The Democrats have served notice
they will propose several changes in
the tax schedules, particularly as re-
CARDS the Mellon income tax rate
voted into the bill by the Repup-
licans in place of the Longworth
compromise rate adopted by the
House. The floor fight is expected
to hinge largely on the rate sched-
ules. Practically all the admins
trative provisions were agreed to
by non-puartisan votes.
