Senate Rejects

Modified Proposal
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With bipartisan advocates of
the "skip-a-year" plan of tax
abatement holding their lines
firmly, the Senate beat down, so
to 80, today an administration
attempt to amend the new reve-
nue. bill to provide for cancella-
ton of only IS per cent of a
years levies.
The vote, on an amendment Of
fered by Chairman George of the
Senate Finance Committee, cleared
the way for an expected early vote
on a modified version of the Ruml
plan under which the lesser of
either 1912 or 1943 taxes would be
excused for all persons to put them
on current payment basis.
The Senate earlier rejected, 81 to
2l. an amendment to the revenue
bill to credit current payments
against this years income and COL
lect the full 1912 tax in 10 semian-
nual installments, beginning next
March IS.
This was the Senates first test of
sentiment on canceling income tax
obligations
Ellender Fights Abatement.
The amendment was offered by
Senator Ellender, Democrat, of
Louisiana. who told the Senate he
believed it was wicked to abate any
ones taxes in wartime.
His proposal was opposed by
Chairman George, who said the time
has passed when Congress could con-
template current collection of taxes
without abatement of some of the
accrued liability.
Senator George told reporters he
did not know whether it would be
possible to reach a final vote during
the day because of many other
amendments in the offlng.
With the issue so close that five
doubtful votes may turn the tide,

State VINO Chief Appeals
For Help in Hog Processing

Complying with the United States
government appeal to raise more
food for victory, the farmers of
Minnesota are raising a million
more hogs this year than they did
in 1912. But many farmers have
been short of feed, and with de-
clining prices, they have FASTENED
to market their hogs.
This has created gigantic prob
lem-How to process the animals
with the ever-increasing shortage
of manpower. Packing plants in
the state have IL per cent less
workers than they had last year.
More than 1000 men and 600 wom-

plants.
Dreng Bjornaraa, state director,

sent out an appeal for help to ham
die these abnormally heavy hog
receipts. He says: GAS long as the
packing plants are not operating
at full capacity and ,as long as
there are live hogs to be processed,

ess pork as it is to participate in
