Passage of Shoals

While the Senate itself engaged
in another round of oratory, Ad.
ministration leaders today CREASED
the ways for early enactment Of
the revised Underwood Muscle

to which Democratic chiefs have
given assent, Administration forces
hope to get a vote by tomorrow, OF
at the latest, by Thursday.
Even the staunchest opponents
of the Underwood plan, with itl
amendments suggested by the War
Department, held little hope today
of blocking its passage by a good
sized margin. They, therefore
turned their attention to amend.

The War Department amendments
accepted by Senator Underwood

Senate leaders would make the bill
satisfactory to him, have almost sol
idly united administration forces be
hind the proposal. Practically al
southern Democrats, particularly
those who previously favored &C
ceptance of Henry Ford's bid, also
have swung to Underwood's support
With the Underwood plan far pre-
dominant, the Senate's Legislative
hopper, however, was filled almost

would bring in amendments making

The first important vote in the
Senate must, under the present par,

GAS TAX
PROBE
Street Work Held Up by In

Original Estimates

Investigation by Congress of the
administration in the District Of
the gasoline tax law will be asked
by Congressman Frederick N. Zihl.
man, Of Maryland, author of the
law. at the meeting of the House
District Committee tomorrow, he
announced today.
The investigation will be ordered
as q result Of the FAILURE Of the
tax to produce as much as it was
estimated 1t should produce.
The tax went into effect last
May and the returns to- date indi.
cate that collections for the first
year will total only 100000.
Estimates, on the basis of which
ievies on the tax were made for
road work, placed the income at
between 100000 and $1,000,0
Zihlman will ask the District
Committee to make q strict check
on the returns made by wholesale
and retail dealers in the fuel.
Nothing Wrong In Law.
There is something wrong In
the administration Of this law, in
my opinion" Zihlman said. ut is
only natural that there should be
some discrepancy between the actual
returns and the estimated returns,
even though the estimates were
based on careful study of past
sales. 1t is not possible to believe
that the figures of the District
auditor could have fallen so far
wide of the mark
Zthln1an's determination to re.
quest the investigation was largely
formed by a survey recently COM
pleted in California. where the gaso-
line tax Is in effect, showing that
automobiles there use far more
gasoline during the year than the
local tax returns indicate Is used
here.
Street Work Delayed.
The local tax collections SO far, he
said, indicate that Washington auto.
mobiles and trucks use an average
OF seven gallons Of gasoline each per
week, paying $7.2S year in taxes
on '8S4 gallons Of gasoline.
In California the average con.
sumption per year Is SIT gallons, he
said, and the average annual tax
Of 2 cents. gallon, is $10.34.
