Plan of Democrats Adopted In Senate Mellon Tax Bill Finally Laid To Rest In Congress With Adoption of « Democratic Snbotitnte. Washington, May 5.—The LaFol- lette-Democratic alliance , won sweeping victory in the Senate today with the adoption of the so-called Simmons’ rates for surtaxes and nor mal taxes on income and the complete elimination of the plan put forward by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. The Democratic surtax rates with the 40 per cent maximum won by a vote of 43 to 40 and the normal taxes of 2, 4. and 6 per cent defeated the S, 6, and 6 Mellon rates by 44 to 37. The Senate vote not only eliminated the Mellon rates, but also discarded the so-called Longworth schedule which had been adopted by the House of Representatives. The Longworth maximum surtax was 37 1-2 per cent with normal rates of 2, 6 and 6 per cent The Senate roll calls came with dramatic suddenness upon the heels of a Republican caucus which had de cided to press for action on the tax schedules, first with the Mellon rates and then with compromise proposals approaching the Democratic suggest ions.

The Clinton Bakery Phone 124 “Your Breakfast is more complete with Toast/* Instead of permitting the Republi cans to put through their program, the LaFollette-Democratic alliance took charge of the situation with an assurance that revealed complete agreement and forecast victory. Sena tor Simmons, Democrat of North Carolina, offered the anti-Mellon schedule of surtaxes and called for a vote. Seven Republicans, including Sena tor Hiram Johnson, of California, joined the Democratic ranks, and the Simmons’ proposals triumphed despite the defection of two Democrats— Bruce, of Maryland, and Edwards, of New Jersey, who voted with the Re publicans. Senator Magnus Johnson, Farmer-Labor, of Minnesota, also joined the Democrats. In addition to Senator Johnson, of California, the bolting Republicans were Brookhart, * Capper, Frazier, Ladd, Norbeck, and Norris. Senator Norris also announced on the floor that Senator LaFollette would have voted with the Democrats had his ! health permitted him to be present at the roll call. Immediately after the result was announced Senator Smoot, in charge of the bill for the Republicans, gave notice that he would ask another vote on the surtax rates just before the final roll call on the entire measure. The Republicans then sought to in terpose the veterans’ bill, but the La Follette-Democratic' alliance would not be denied. Senator Simmons ob jected to laying aside the*tax bill, and declared the readiness of the anti- Mellon forces to vote on the normal £ rates. He then proposed that the two, four and six schedule be substi tuted for the Mellon program. Senator Smoot warned the Senate that the adoption of the Simmons’ schedule meant a revenue loss of $38,000,000 annually, , but. Senator Jones, Democrat, of New Mexico, countered with the declaration that the Simmons’ surtax rates would yield an additional $41,000,000 above the Mellon plan. The roll was cailed. Senator Cap per, Republican, ©! Kansas, joined the Follette - Democratic opposition, nator Shipstead, Farmer-Labor, of nnesota, who had been absent on earlier roll call, also voted with anti-Mellon group. Senator Jones, Republican, of Washington, withheld his vote with the explanation that his own tax would be affected by the rates under consideration. The final vote was 44 to 37 in favor of the Simmons’ rate. After voting for the Simmons* rates as against the Mellon schedules in both surtaxes and normal taxes, the Senate on each occasion, voted also to substitute the Simmons’ proposals for the Longworth rates approved by the House. The Simmons’ normal tax schedule provides for a 2 per cent rate up to $4,000, a 4 per cent rate between $4,000 and $8,000, and a 6 per cent rate above $8,000. The Longowrth rates were the same except that a 5 per cent tax was levied on incomes from $4,000 to $8,000. The Ifellon program called for a 3 per cent tax to $4,000 and 6 per cent above that figure. The present law provides 4 per cent to $4,000 and 5«per cent above. After the smashing LaFollette- Democratic victory. Senator Jones, of New Mexico, gave notice that he would seek immediate action on the corporation tax schedules approved by the anti-Mellon group. The Sen ate then laid the tax bill temporarily aside in order to take up other mat ters. i i I Who is the Most Economical Housewife hi CHoton HOW M^NT PRICES OF GROCER IES DO YOU KNOW? MRS.
