SENATE DELAYS
TAX CUT MOVE
G. OF Votes Solid to Wail
Until March IS.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE
Senate Finance Committee voted to-
day to delay further action ca the
$290,0000U0 tax reducxon bin until
after March Is, treasury roceipts
can be inspected.
The action was taken by a strict
party vote, all Republicans favor
ing the delay and Democrats plead
ing for immediate action.
The step was taken by Repub-
licans upon advice of Secretary Of
Treasury Mellon, who complained
that the large reduction provided
in the House bill would jeopardize
the treasury financial system unless
March Is returns indicated a much
larger surplus this year than had
been expected.
The committee also voted to take
up the alien property bill Monday.
Decision for delay in the tax bill
makes it virtually certain now that
the measure will not be considered
in the Senate. Democrats have re-
course to a vote on the Senate floor,
but the majority there is against
them.
Independent Republicans of the
farm bloc generally favor the Ad-
ministration plan to delay and they
would vote against any Democratic
movement for immediate action.

GLADDEN. UNDER FIRE
Custer Move May Follow
Teacher License Probe.

A move to GUST Fred E. GLADDEN.
from his position as assistant State
superintendent of public instruction
may result from investigation of
the teachers license issued to Miss
Faye Green the day before Roy P.
Wisehart took the position of State
superintendent. Wisehart is to take
the matter up with the State board
of education next Friday.
Miss Green has surrendered
license and is attending normal
school at Terre Haute, Ind. She
had a second grade high school
certificate and had taught at Lex
ington and ScottSburg.
According to Wisehart she had
not more than one-third of the
sufficient credits required for such
a teachers license.
G. r. Maxanl, head of the license
division, declared that he had re-
fused to issue the certificate, but it
was issued by higher authority" on
the last day that Charles F. Miller,
now superintendent of the Indian
apolis schools, served in the State
post. It bears the Miller signature,
Wisehart said, and the entire matter
is to be brought before the board.

TARIFF SLASH
MAY Be Tackled
ON TAX BILL
Senate Democrats Plan to
Follow Up MCMaSter
Resolution Victory.
By PAUL r. MALLON,
United Press STAFF Correspondent


WASHINGTON. Jan. 17.-Senate
Democrats are working out scheme
to promote their fight against the
Republican tariff rates in a real way
They are encouraged by the ac-
ton of the Senate in adopting 81 to
"a, Monday. The McMaster resolu-
ton advising the House to institute
legislation to reduce some tariff
rates to establish a closer economic
parity between agriculture and in
dustry.
But they know that the action can
be made nothing more than a futile
gesture by the strong Republican
majority in the House which has in
dicated it will take no notice of the
Senate'S advice.
The Constitution requires that all
revenue-raising measures originate
in the House. The Senate cannot
institute such bills.
Amendments Planned
The tax reduction bill originated
and passed by the House is now in
the Senate and is a revenue-raising
measure within the provision of the
Constitution.
So the Democrats are planning to
tack on this bill a few amendments
providing for reduction of certain
tariff rates, especially the rate on
aluminium.
Twelve farm bloc Republicans
joined with the Democrats in the
action Monday and they believe
they may expect similar help from
the Mid-Western farm Senators in
adopting tariff amendments to the
tax bill.
BY this method they hope to
write little tariff bill in the tax
bill when that measure goes back
to the House. Thus they can force
the matter to a vote of the House
and get the Republican Congress
on record.
They know, of course, that the
House probably will kill any Senate
tariff amendments.
Delay Will Be Sought
At the request of Democrats,
meeting of the Senate Finance
Committee was called today by Re-
publican Chairman Smoot to con-
slider action on the tax bill. Smoot
and the Republican majority on the
committee have indicated they will
seek to delay action on the meas
ure until after March Is treasury
returns are made. They claim the
$500, 100000 reduction provided by
the House is too great.
Democratic members of the COM
mittee have voted unanimously in
favor of immediate action on the
measure.
Tariff agitation in the House was
to begin today with Representative
Dickinson (Rep) Iowa, leader of the
House farm bloc, introducing a reso-
luton calling for upward revision OF
tariff rates on corn. beef products
and vegetable oils, aimed to raise
farm prices by shutting out foreign
competition.
Practically all tariff proposals in
the House take this form, the re-
verse of Senate proposals.

places up there where potatoes
would have thrived if the sun could

"And for the benefit Of Court
house employees and visitors, let it
be known that the skylight side
walls will be sprayed with white
wash to tighten things up some
more"
McGregor is making tests Of floor

commissioners, it was said.
The new municipal courtrooms on
the fourth floor are nearing COM
