SENATE MOVES
TO SPEED UP
TAX MEASURE
Senator Norris of the OppO'

Steam Roller Methods

Washington, Fe. 2.--tR)-The SEN
abte plunged into a six-honr session
today in an effort to hasten consid-
Grafton of the income surtax rates
of the tax reduction bill and thus
make surer final vote before the
weekend.
The speeding up process was plan
ned in the face Of warning from
Senator Norris, Republican, Nebras-
Ia, leader of the opposition, that
"steam roller methods will not get
you anywhere"
Although Republican and Democra-
tic regulars on the finance commit
tee had compromised their differ
ences on the surtax schedule, which
calls for reduction in the maxi
mum rate from 40 to 20 per cent,
some opposition has developed. Sem
ate Democrats accepted the maximum
rate upon further reduction in the
surtax rates applying on incomes be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 which
would cut the revenue by $23 3,0OO, 900

mittee which investigated the inter
nal revenue bureau "dispel the fall
lacy of the argument that high sur
taxes are responsible for investments
in tax-exempt securities" as was
maintained by Mr.-Mellon. He said
the figures showed that taxpayers
with incomes Of more than $1,000
had invested less than z 1-2 per

Present Indications Point to Bumper
 Production In State

Present conditions indicate bounti. ful fruit crops in aIl sections of the state. Commissioner of Agriculture Phiio r Platt says Heavy blooms arc noted on practically all kinds of fruit and fruit growers in all sections of the state have expressed the opin- ion that everything points t5 bumper crops,
 Practically all varieties of apples ?, he says, "are making a full bloom, with the exception of some orchards that bore heavily last year Peaches apparently will be an unusually large crop as up to the present time little damage has been done either by win ter freezing or spring frosts
 Pears, plums, strawberries and other small fruits are blooming quite full and are showing prospects for a normal crop. On the whole the out lock for the coming fruit crop is un- usually good. especially so. in view of the fact that growers now follow im- proved methods in pruning and spray ing as well as in the harvesting of the crop"
