cast both words and music about 174O.
at the behest Of one Of the London

honor Of a birthday Of George II.

Washington With apparent unani-
nifty the Senate approved Tentatively
the reductions in the normal income
tax rates. the repeal of the capital
stock tax and the so-called nuisance
taxes eliminated in the House bill
during consideration of the s352,OO0.-

and from $500 to ss.5OO for married
persons,
While most of the controversial
matters were passed over. Senate
leaders were much gratified over the
progress made in the consideration OF
the bill. They are confident it will be
acted upon finally by the Senate by

man Smoot, in order that the taxpay-
ers may get the benefit in payments

estate tax from the House bill and the
repeal of the publicity clause from the

longed debate. Chairman Smoot OF the
