This proposal would establish the

ton with private business and would

this proposal, as fuel supply in the

position TO this program to involve
the Federal Government in direct
competition with established and legit-
innate business
Senator Copeland of New York,
Democratic member Of the District
committee, said today that he thought
the local coal merchants would be
exceedingly foolish If they declined to
permit an examination of their books
and records by the auditors of the
Government.
IF they take such a position" said
Senator Copeland. they will lose
whatever sympathy there may exist
for them. and will cause the public
to believe they have something to
conceal
The New York Senator said he was
in favor of full audit by the Gov
eminent of the books and accounts Of
the coal merchants.
Attorneys Opinion.
According to attorneys, who have in
tereSted themselves in the present con.
troversy, the next logical step for the
dealers to take would be to decline
formally to permit the controller gen
erals accountants to examine their
books. If the Senate District commit
tee then sought to subpoena them, the
dealers could obtain an injnction, re-
straining the Senators until they had
shown cause why the books should be
audited. Considerable court proceed
ings would follow as a consequence.
Several times, 1t is said, congress.
ional investigating bodies have been
forbidden by the courts to seize the
private records of business firms with.
out first pointedly accusing them of
violating specific law. In the case
of the coal men, it is held, no law VIC.
lation has been charged. and the at
torneys believe they can legally de.
mand the complete audit that q ma.
jority of them now favor.

TAXPUBu|C|TYROW
Smoot to Ask Night Sessions
to Assure Passage of
Bill This Week.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Senate dug in today in contin-
uance of its fight over tax reduction
with leaders of both parties deter
mined to bring the revenue bill to a
final VOC before the end OF the week.
Opponents OF certain provisions of
the measure were faced with the dec
laration of Chairman Smoot of the
finance committee. in charge Of the
bill. that he would demand night ses-
sions, starting Immediately. Under
that program the Senate would sit in
continuous session from IL am. until
10 pm. daily until the measure is
pa ssed.
More than a week of debate on the
bin has resulted in a decision on only
one OF the three main controversial pro-
Observation-Disclosures Of the surtax rates
and for the fourth consecutive SEES
sion the Senate today sought to reach
vote on the provision repeating the
law allowing publication of the
amounts OF income tax PAYMENTS

Norris Plan Is Fought.

Senator Norris, Republican, Ne
braska, who has led the fight against
other controversial sections of the bill,
renewed his effort to amend it to
allow public inspection of all income
tax returns. Managers of the bill
argued this not only would allow con-
tinued publication of amounts of tax
payments but permit publication of
any items found in the tax returns.
The investigation of the In. ernal
Revenue Bureau, which was conduct
ed by special Senate committee, also
awaited further airing today. Sena-
tor Couzens, Republican, Michigan,
chairman of the committee, in present.
ing the report signed by Senators
King of Utah and Jones of New Mex
leo, Democrats, asked for public in
spection of returns
Senator Ernst. Republican, Ken
lucky, has presented a minority re-
port, signed also by Senator Watson,
Republican, Indiana, opposing the con-
illusions reached by the Majority and
declaring against publicity.
Following the publicity debate the
Senate must act on the proposal of
the finance committee to repeal the
inheritance tax.
Norris Opens Debate.
Senator Norris opened debate to-
day by arguing that State property
tax returns were open to inspection,
but Senator Simmons, ranking Demo
crat on the finance committee, de.
clared this was not comparable to
making public the intimate details
of taxpayers business as shown in
his income tax returns"
The Nebraska Senator also declared
that publicity would prevent dishon-
esty in the preparation of returns.
This position was challenged by Sena-
tor George, Democrat, Georgia, who
contended that a dishonest taxpayer
would cheat the law by any possible
means"
Senator Copeland. Democrat, New
York. advanced the argument that
the Treasury had deliberately or
dered publication of re -urns" in or
der to make the law permitting pub
LEGATION unpopular. Chairman Smoot
disputed this.
Senator Norris explained that his
amendment would not restore the
present law directing internal reve-
nue. collectors to make public the
names of taxpayers and the amounts
of their tax.

DENIES PETITION
I'm PHONE MERGER
Holds a. Per Cent Fee to Be
Objectionable.

Taking the view that the four per
cent contractual fee imposed by the
American Telephone Telegraph Com
pany on its subsidiaries is objec-
tionable. the public service commits
sion has denied the petition Of the
Indiana Bell Telephone Company,
one of those subsidiaries, to absorb
five small telephone companies.
The proposed merger was more OF
bookkeeping change, since the
Eell already owns most of the stock
in each. Companies which the Bell
sought 10 merge are the Citizens
Telephone Company of Columbus,
the New Home Telephone Company
of Bloomfield. the Parke County
Telephone Company Of Rockville.
the Indiana Telephone and Telegraph
Company of Clinton and the Con-
solidated Telephone Company OF
Danville and Plainfleld.
Two years ago the commission
acted similarly on a request OF the
Bell to merge several small com
panies. Effect of the denial will be

A minor farm relief bill was
passed, but the issue of general farm
aid was left unsettled.
The aircraft bills providing build
ing programs and increased person.
mel in the air services and the rail-
road labor bill, establishing rail-
way arbitration board were other
measures conducted through Con,
gress by the Administration.
Leaders of all factions are salts.
fed and virtually every Senator and
Congressman is eager to go home.
Many will open fall political cam
paigns.
The outstanding development Of the
session is the political realignment
of both the major parties. Democrat
ic and Republican leaders Joined
hands on the tax reduction and
world court legislation.
New Farm Bloc
But new farm bloc within the
Republican ranks has been formed
by Vice President Dawes, Senator
Watson of Indiana, and Senator Nc
Nary, Republican, Oregon. Although
the wing failed to obtain passage
for it's Haugen bill, it killed the Tess
farm relief plan. Its activities prob
ably will furnish the basis for politi-
cal developments for months to
come.
The Senate primary investigation
| has stirred the political waters by
revealing huge expenditures in the
Republican senatorial primary, and
the earlier Senate prohibition in
visitation was the signal for the
vets to go on the warpath.
The Senate defeated the nominal
ton of Wallace McCamant, Oregon,
to be Federal judge, although Nc
Camant is the man who started the
Coolidge stampede for the Repub-
| lican vice presidential nomination in
! 1920. Some other less important
nominations also have been rejected
Despite the great amount of legis.
lation, President Coolidge used his
veto power but twice, both times on
| inconsequential measures.
The first veto was on private
bill reinstating an Army officer who
had been dishonorably discharged
The Presidents action was based or
the recommendation of the Secre
| tary of War.
| The second veto came Friday on a
bill authorizing permits to land and
oil rights on unallotted lands in In.
| dian reservations. This measure
was vetoed on the recommendation
of Senator Borah, Idaho who told
the President that large oil interests
were lobbying for the bill and that
it would discriminate against indie
pendent oil companies.
On the other fnand, most of the
Administration measures have been
passed, the Tincher-Fess farm re-
lief plan being the only major piece
Of legislation sponsored by the
White House that was defeated.

sideration."

with him to his estate in India. Then
Il was. she said. that her husband
reverted to the customs Of his native
India and. kept her a virtual prisoner
