The Income Tax.
No set event of the present week
may lie anticipated with keener
news relish than the vote which
may be taken in the Senate Friday
on the income tax amendments to
the Tariff bill. Second only to the
adoption of the rejection of this im
portant tax feature of the pending
legislation will be the interest in the
alignment of Senators with ti e Re
publican "Regulars," on the one
hand, opposed by the Democrats and
a doubtful number of "Insurgent"
Republicans. Senators Dai ley and
Cummins, representing, respectively,
the Democrats and such Republicans
as are determined upon an income
tax amendment will probably be de
termined upon an income tax, ap
pear confident that their compro
mise amendment will be adopted
but before hour of voting is reached
strong pressure will be brought to
bear in opposition, upon such Re
publicans as in this matter are allied
with the Democrats. The prelimin
ary skirmishes earlier in the week
will whet the news appetite for the
feast of-Friday. The income tax
amendment will probably be defeat
ed by a very sniali majority, but at
that there is a chance that it may
pass. There is enough doubt in the
situation to cause considerable in
terest in the outcome.
