Delivering at Night
By Dealers Urged
To Relieve Taffic

CHICAGO, November 10 (SpeciaD -
Off-street loading and nighttime de-
liveries for all mercantile establishments
in the larger cities will go far in solving
the problem of traffic congestion and do
much to lower the fatality records.
When once the plan is given general
usage, curbstone loading or unloading
will be taboo and mercantile oehVery
trucks will become company for the
lonely milk wagons in the wee small
hours.
When leading merchants realize that
the plan is not expensive and that it
actually means better business, the
scheme will come into general use, ac-
cording to Percy Straus of Macy e. Co.,
New York, who cited the experiences of
that firm in working this plan, at the
recent National Safety Congress in New
York.

The increase occurred in spite Of the
fact that there is one day less In Sep

TAX BILL TO Be
ADJUSTED TODAY
Measure Passed by Senate Meets
House Bill

Washington, May 80 hP1-A $eo5,-
QUO. QUO senate tax reduction bill was
bound Tor the congressional adjust
ment room today, there to meet its
is29o, 100000 house partner for
reconciliation OF differences.
The senate passed its measure late
last night after several attempts to
attach tariff and farm riders we're
overw helmingly defended, with the
democrats aiding the republicans in
refusing saddles to these proposals.
These two groups parted COM
pany, however. in stirring last
minute battle which the republicans
won, thus keeping their program
within range Of the 100000, 900 re-
duction limitation set by President
Coolidge and Secretary Mellon.
Two Roll Calls
In this drive the democrats were
defeated after two roll calls, the
last resulting in tie vote which was
broken by Vice President Dawes. on
the one plank of their $Sc5, 100000
program they previously had placed
in the bill-a graduated scale of
! lower rates on corporations with in
comes under $4,000.
Elimination Of this provision
Topped off $4,000. 900 in the total re-
duction provided by the measure.
which was then approved without a
record vote. On the first vote on
! this provision the democrats won. 81
to SO. But Senator Blease. demo-
crst. South Carolina. asked recon-
sideration after it had been called to
his attention that he was paired with
Senator Frazier. republican, North
Dakota who had not voted.
Vote 4 Tie
On the second vote the tie
resulted. although the democrats
seemed to have won again when
Senator Bline. republican, Wiscon-
sin, voted with them after voting
with the republicans the first time.
He changed his vote. however, say
ing he had misunderstood the ques-
ton. This left the tie. 80 to 3S. and
Vice President Dawes cast his first
vote since taking office, while the
senate applauded,
Senator McMaster, republican.
South Dakota. was the only member
leaving his party ranks on the vote,
lining up with the democrats.
It proba bly, will be several days
before an agreement Is reached be-
tween the senate and house con-
| ferees. but leaders are. confident the
measure can he whipped into shape
for final approval by both the SEN
ate and house and sent to the pres
ident by the end OF the week. Ad-
lournment OF congress by Saturday
or early next week is now planned.
While the president set 5000. 900
ton which the condition Of the
treasury would permit leaders be-
lieve he will sign a measure pro-
>idinE cut of &eSo,oon,ooo.
Aids Corporations
Corporations get the biggest slice
OF the tax cut. winning $4,000. 900
IN the increase IN exemptions for
corporations from $1,000 to $4,000.
and $4,000. 600 in the senate bill
which reduces the corporation rate
from13 II per cent to II - per
cent. or s1s4.ooo.ooo in the house
measure which FLASHED the rate to
II IL per cent.
The following reductions we're
voted by both the house and senate
and will rot be subject to change in
the impending conference:

modified but the senate restored.
Prize Fight Increase
Approval was given also by both
the senate and the house to an in

on prize fights. making this levy rs

The tax battle was fought out on
party lines almost entirely. the west
ern republican Independents favor
in gthe minimum program of the re-
publicans. The minority plan would
have provided for all reductions
favored by the republicans, but it
would have gone farther in cuts all
