SENATORS Kill
TAX CUT BILL
G. o. P. Insurgents Join in Vote
to Use Surplus for Debt
Reduction.

Misunderstanding up together on
q political question for the first time
in years, Republican regulars and in
surgents smothered the Democratic
effort to have the senate declare for
tax reduction legislation at this ses-
sion of congress.
They put through, 46 to 80, resolu-
ton sponsored by Senator Norris OF
Nebraska, foremost among the insur-
gent leaders, declaring the surplus
now in the treasury should be applied
to the reduction of the public debt.
This measure was substitute for
the resolution of Senator Harrison,
Democrat Of Mississippi, which would
have expressed the sense of the senate
that there should be tax reduction at
this session to absorb the surplus.

Sermon topic: 1.-THE Evil Eye" The
disposition to grumble and tease
themselves into discomfort and dis
satisfaction over the good estate of
their more favored and fortunate fell
low-men-these people have the
"evil eye". Envy is the source of
endless vexation, an instrument of
self-torture, rottenness in the bones,
a burning fostering ulcer of the soul.
Let everyone examine his eyesight!

daily invite you to come and wor-
ship with us.
