.proximately $100,000,000 additional |
taxes to meet the emergency caused by !
the war in Europe, was passed by the :
senate tonight, o4 to 22, after Sjuthern
Democrats, in coalition with Republicans
of the senate, desperately
fought to indefinitely postpone consid-,
eranon, because cotton relief legisla- '
tion had been decisively de eatea.
Democratic leaders, by a supreme ,
el ort in the.climax o: the cotton fight,
gathered tceir faltering forces and, 1
W spurring- them en w:tn eloquent appeals
for party solidartiy, defeated 32
to 25 t'.ie coalition in its move to indefinitely
postpone action. Senators !
Clark, of Arkansas; Smith, of Georgia;
Smith, of South Carolina; Yardaman :
and White were the Democratic senators
who fought to the end, voting
with the Republicans to postpone ac- '
lion. This would have killed the bill ,

Southern senators, under a storm of
oratorical denunciation, persisted to]

bill should contain some cotton relief
provision.

of congress, wtiich has kept flags flying
over the capitol almost contini*ously
for toe past two years. The taxbill
will go to uie house on Monday
and will be sent to conference. An
agreement on the measure between the
two houses probalbLy will be reached .
by the middle of next week.

tax on subsequent crops to guarantee j
against loss. One of tee impassioned
statements made by the South Caroling
senator aroused a good deal of
resentment among his Southern colleagues,
including even some of those
who voted for the cotton amendment.
The particular words which were resented
were: "Any Southern senator ,
who votes against this amendment, regardless
O'. w: ether there is a doubt ,
as to its constitutionality, will be '
locked upon by the people of the
South as a traitor to fc.:em in the hour
of their suffering and distress.'*
