be expected to raise. Estimates
have been revised daily, and some
times hourly, as new factors were
brought into consideration.
4 Aside from the stock tax amend
ment, few others remained to be
considered. Administrative chang
es are expected to bring 100000
600 under amendments to be pro-
posed. The gifts tax scale is to be
altered. Taxes on pipe lines and
airplane manufactures are yet ITO
be offered.
Some figures indicate the total to
be raised from these sources will
bring $332,000,000 more, instead
of $224,500.000.
The spirit of the House is plain.
1t is founded upon a belief that
last weeks fears about balancing
the budget might be revived If the
program of the democratic and re-
publican leadership was tempered
with in any way.
That spirit caused Representa-
tive McClintic, democrat, Oklaho-
ma, to withdraw an amendment
proposing to double the stock tax.
He said he greatly favored an in
crease, but would defer to the gen.
eral opinion.
The new drive has adopted $780,
100000 of taxes in two days, $685.
100000 Wednesday and $169,500,-
900 Tuesday. About five hours
consideration has been given these
taxes each day, making only ten
hours of discussion for nearly half
a billion dollars of new taxes.
After consideration of the bill
item by item Is completed to-day,
there are some technical moves be-
fore the final vote. The House is
working in committee Of the whole,
considering and adopting amend
ments. When it finishes. the bill
is handed back to formal session
of the House. Opportunity exists
there for another vote on some of
the provisions which have been
adopted in committee Of the
whole.
Democratic Floor Leader Rainey
has announced he will seek an
other vote on the IS per cent max
imum surtax scale. Representative
Mccormack, democrat, Massachu-
sets. will seek to get another. vote
on the coal and oil taxes. No de-
bate will be allowed in considera-
ClOn or these items.
When the Bill finally is passed,
it will go to the senate. A stiff
fight against some Of its provisions
is being organized there. Prospects
for its early enactment are promis-
ing.
Democratic Floor Leader Robin
son told the United Press he would
call a conference of senate demo-
Gratis early next week. "It is essen
tial," he said, ITO get the senate
democrats together to decide how
to meet the revenue problem"
Chairman Smoot of the senate
finance committee is preparing to
have the measure referred to his
committee for hearings. Business

of the House bill have demanded

Norwich opened the prosecution by
handing Barbara letter which she
admitted writing to the bishop on
February complaining Of the rec
tors conduct.
The letter said:
II have been waiting to do this
for long time. I mentioned it to
the Rev Davidson and he told me
I would not be believed and that
my word would not stand against
his.
II am thinking that if he is let
Off he will do just the same and I
am sorry for girls in the future.
You will notice that he only helps
girls and never boys. Also, the
girls are generally 16 or II years
old.
"a lot Of people will stick up for
DR. Davidson because they are
afraid OF their pasts and others
might stand up for him because
they believe him an eccentric, nice
old man, as believed at one time"
The letter then described how DIR
Davidson allegedly accosted Bar
bara IS months ago and said she
knew him four months before she
learned he was a clergyman.
II was 16 when he met me-"
Barbara's letter continued. 1T is
very hard to be good, once you
have been bad. I know he has the
keys to a lot of girls fats.
HE said he would divorce his
wife and marry me. The excuse
would be that his wife was unfaith-
full and that their last child was
not his"
