RESTORATION
OF INCOME TAX.
DUE IN senate
King Leads Move
To 0. X. Levy
BY JULIA A. BONWIT

The fate of the Districts purse
rested with the Senate today,
where the income tax, rejected
overwhelmingly by the House, is
expected to be restored.
Senator William H. King CD
Of Utah, chairman Of the Senate
District Committee, ANNOUNCED he
would attempt to have the upper
body restore the tax on income,
which was the meat of the Dis
trict's 1899 revenue, passed late
yesterday by the House.
HOME RULE MOVE
AS the House threw out the in,
come tax provisions Of the meas
ure, sentiment crystallized on the
Hill for local suffrage and home
rule as a means Of circumventing
the "prejudices" Of Congressman.
1.-THE income tax VOTE" said
Representative Jack Nichols CO.
Of Oklahoma, chairman of the
House District fiscal affairs sub
committee, which wrote the rev.
enue bill, "haS convinced me
some other method of governing
the District Of Columbia must
be found. Congressman, in leg.
islating for Washington, vote be-
cause Of prejudices and not be-
cause Of beliefs"
The measure as passed by the
House leaves a deficit of approx.
mately $1,300,0OO. The income
tax would have raised 50, 00O, 900,
leaving a surplus to take care of
the possibility Of a boost in the
relief appropriation before the
end Of the current fiscal year.
OTHER POSSIBILITIES
Should the Senate fail to restore
the income tax, as promised by
Senator King, the remaining DOS
sibilities for meeting the deficit
are a sales tax or some forms of
excise taxes.
Representative Howard w.
Smith Cd, Of Virginia, nemesis
Of the income tax, proposed to the
House yesterday that the money
be raised by increasing the taxes
on spirits and beer.
It was pointed out to the
House. however, that such a tax
would have the single effect of
benefitting Mr.. Smiths home
