Ex.Gov. Bass Raps
Senator Moses for
Anti.COurt Stand

Concord, N. H., Jan. 22.-(AP)-
Declaration that the prevention by
slibuster of a vote on the world
court by the United States constitut-
Cd an astounding situation" and
that President Coolidge's entire pro-
gram is in danger was made by for
ner Gov. Robert P. Bass in a pub
lie statement today upon his return
from Washington. Senator Moses,
the senior senator from this state,
was one of the organizers of dila-
tory tactics, Mr.. Bass asserted. al
though the senator had previously
said he would not prevent action on
the matter.
"A measure which has been urged
by two administrations, endorsed by
both parties in their platforms and
passed by one body of congress by
an overwhelming vote. and on which
two-thirds of the senator's are ready
to vote" the statement said, faces
the possibility of not being even
brought to vote because of the at
titude of handful Of senators who
are bent on enforcing their will on
the majority"
Mr.. Bass quoted Senator Moses
as writing on December 10 to
Mr.. Toland of Concord to the
effect that he would not prevent a
vote on the world court issue, that
he would make one speech, then /
intend to take only desultory part
In whatever debate follows"
How has Senator Moses kept this
promise?" the ex-governor asked.
His 'desultory part has consisted in
proposing four reservations, the de-
Date on which would contribute sub
h!antially to the delay in a vote on
the world court.
The situation Is serious. The
whole OF President Coolidge's pro-
gram is In the process of being sac
llnced for the qualification Of the
Ireconcilable senator's. The Presi-
". uent needs the help Of the people Of
this state"

Give Assurances
Tax Cut Bill Will Be
Law Before March Is

Washington, Jan. 22-(AP)-The
report of the senate committee on the
tax reduction bill was submitted to
the senate today by Chairman Smoot,
with assurances from him and Sena-
tor Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi,
that 1t would be enacted before the
March Is income installments are
due.
Senator Norris, Republican, Ne
braskn, however, objected to haste.
"Will any harm result" he asked,
'if this bill is not passed by March
10? Can't taxes be related as they
were two years ago? IT is absolute
ly unfair and unpust and almost un-
heard of to force condition that will
make us pass this bill at once"
1.-THE American people want this
bill passed now," Senator Smoot re-
piled. They'll demand it from one
end of the country to the other"
THE senator HASN'T heard from
the people," Senator Norris retorted.
He has just heard from the corpora
tons, the millionaires and the dead
peoples families, who are the chief
beneficiaries of this measure"
There were indications that the bill
would be taken up early next week
for general debate along with con-
sideration of the world court. if ne
cessaty. The warning served by
Senator Norris, however, showed
plainly that the proposed repeal of
inheritance tax and income tax pub
licity would be bitterly fought. The
committee report emphasized its po-
sition as favoring retirement of the
federal government from the field of
Inheritance taxation in favor of the
states.
Despite the compromise agreement
reached between Republicans and
Democrats N committee, the report
was signed only by ten Republican
members. Senator Simmons of
North Carolina, ranking Democrat
on the committee, who sponsored the
minority's sub-program, which was
adopted in part under the compro-
mise, announced that he agreed with
the conclusions of the bill, but not
with some of the augments.
Senator King of Utah, one of the
Democratic committee members. an
nounced he would file a separate re-
port opposing most of the provisions
and urging much greater tax reduc-
ton than the bill provides.
