House tax bill.
The conservatives, apparently IL
control of the committee, declared
themselves willing to provide fol
whatever amount of revenue the
Administration deems necessary
$3.50, ,O00, 900 has been set by
President Roosevelt's budget-but
on details of how the money shall
be raised they in effect said:
1--WE will write the BILL"
Administration chieftains, com
mitted to the corporate undistrib
uted profits tax, the special levy
on closely held or family corpora
tions, graduated capital gains i'm
posts and high surtaxes for indi
viduals, privately indicated they
would carry their fight to the
Senate floor if they are unable to
beat down the uprising in com.
mittee.
HARRISON LEADER
Spearhead of the conservatives
drive in committee was Chairman
Pat Harrison CD, of Mississippi,
who has asked the Treasury De.
partment for a batch of estimates
on changes in the bill he has in
mind.
This tax bill," Harrison said,
"can be made the finest ges-
ture officials can make to re-
store confidence in business and
get frozen money to work ageln.
"The capital gains proposition
is the most important feature
of the bill. Proper revision of
the capital gains law will do
more to cause people to unfreeZe
their investments and invest in
new enterpriSeS-to start the
wheels of prosperity going again
than anything else in the bill"
Already Harrison has a major
ity of the committee with him in
favor of knocking out every vestige
of the corporate undiStributed
profits tax. A majority is with
him in opposing any revival Of
the special levy on closely-held
corporations, which the House
tossed out of the bill over pro
tests of the Administration.
Harrison revealed he had asked
the Treasury Department for esti
mates on the revenue loss, if any
that would result from slashine

WALLACE URGES
.~
QUICK PAYMENT.

0N.S.) Secretary Walla e
favors immediate cotton price ad-
justment payments to 1887 pro-
ducers, it was learned today with
revelation of a letter to Senator
Smith CD of South Carolina in
which the Secretary urged that
Congress enact legislation which
would permit him to distribute
subsidy payments at once.
Variations between the new 1888
AAA and the third deficiency act,
which set up a $13O,O0O,OoO fund
for these payments, have resulted
in farmers having to wait for their
subsidies until they proved COM
pliance with the new farm act.
Wallace's plan is to take the farm
ers' word for their compliance,
without definite proof, and make
payments Immediately.
The record crop of over 18,O0O,-
OOO bales in 1887 has weakened the
market and made these payments
necessary on IS per cent OF the
base production.

CAPTAIN NIXON
 WINS LONG FIGHT

Philadelphia, April 13.-UP).- Two years of suits and counter suits left Capt. Thomas Hay Nixon of Gettysburg, Pa, with a divorce today from Mrs. Annetta Pauline Finneron Nixon.
 The state supreme court yesterday refused to hear rearguments on his successful appeal to have the decree ending the "intolerable" marriage made valid. In denying the reargu- ments the court told the divorced, undivorced and divorced Mrs. Nixon that this time the decree was final.
 Nixon had won the last round of the two years litigation when the supreme court on March 2l reinstat- ed a decree he first won from the Adams county courts on Aug. 6, 1885. That court later reversed itself when Mrs. Nixon appealed on the ground that Nixon, who had remar- ried, really lived in Washington and so misrepresented his place of resi- dence. The superior court upheld this action but the supreme court three weeks ago reversed both lower tribunals and reinstated the decree.
