''Although the committee now lrlually
has completed the bill. It hns become
known that the Internal Itevenuc Bureau
has almost despaired of the enactment
n the measure before January 1, and
has made full alans for collection of
tastes under the old Uw, by which It Is
estimated only $4,000,000,000 would be
produced next. ear The old la"', which
lemalns effective until ic pealed by the
