Washington.—Democrats and thlr- I teen Republicans united in the Senate J and by 3ti to 18 passed the Democratic Excise Tax bill (which in effect is an | income tax measure,) extending the | present tax on corporations to the | business of individuals, private firms ! and co-partnerships Attached to the measure, also by j the aid of Republican votes, were j amendments repealing the Canadian j Reciprocity law, and fixing $2 per ton | tariff on print paper. The establlsh j ment of a permanent non-partisan tar iff commission is provided also. I Senator Borah, in a fight to have his j j income tax bill substituted for the j "tax on business," lost, 33 to 23, al- ! ! though he mustered to his support many of the regular Republicans, and j four Democrats —Ashurst, Culberson, I Hitchcock and Martine. The receipts from the Excise bill j are expected to make up the deficit resulting from curtailments in the sug- j ar levies. I On the passage of the excise bill the I Democrats were supported by the fol lowing Republicans: Bourne, Bristow, Clapp, Crawford, j Cummins, Gronna, .Tones, Kenyon, ha Follette, Nelson, Poindexter, Towns- | end and Works. The measure will go back to the ! House, and a perfected measure soon | will be laid before President Taft. j The excise bill would levy on all persons, firms or co-partnerships an annual tax equal to one per cent, of net income in excess of $5,000. Senator Cummins's permanent tarii'f j board amendment was attached to the ' excise bill, 38 to 29.

Senator Fletcher of Florida added an amendment to the bill extending the exemptions under the present cor- j poration tax law to the new excise ] law.

SENATOR LAFOLLETTE S BILL PASSES SENATE Democrats and Insurgents Unite on Wool Tariff Measure —Presi- dent Vetoed It In 1911. Washington.—The Republican men | bers of the' Senate, after achieving a victory over the Democrats and ac complishing, in committee of the whole, the passing of their bill revis ing the wool schedule in accordance with the report of the Tariff Board, were beaten In the end, through the defection of Senators La Follette, Kenyon and Clapp, the first named in surgent being the ringleader. He re vived the Democratic-insurgent alii ance of last year and succeeded in ef fecting the adoption of his bill. The La Follette bill was adopted by a vote of 40 to 28, ten insurgent Re 1 publicans, voting for the La Follette measure, as follows; Senators Borah, Bristow, Clapp, Crawford, Cummins, I Gronna, Kenyon. La Follette, Polndex ter and Works. After an all-day debate, Senator Penrose, chairman of the finance com mittee, threw the Democrats and pro- I gressives into confusion by introduc ; ing a wool revision bill bused on the ; findings of the tariff board. The Senate sitting in the Commit | tee of the Whole passed this bill by a | vote of 34 to 32. All of tlfe Democrats voted against I it and the progressive Republicans. Clapp of Minnesota, La Follette of Wisconsin and Kenyon of lowa. All the votes cast for the measure were Republican votes. This vote, however, had been taknn in committee of the whole and La Fol lritte, seizing upon the opportunity, i quickly threw out the bill which he ; had introduced last year and the Democrats immediately rallied to his support. The vote 011 the La Follette | bill, as a substitute for the Penrose | bill, which had been substituted for j the Demcoratic bill, was 39 to 27. All | of the Democrats voted for the La Fol lette bill and so also did all of the in surgent Republicans, except Boui ne j of Oregon. The La Follette bill as it passed the Senate provides for a duty of 33 per ; cent. 011 raw wool, with duties ranging j from 40 t055 per cent, on the manufac | tures of wool. This was the measure | that served us the basis of compro mise last session with the Democrats of the House, and the indications are it will again be used by Leader Under wood pad his colleagues in sending a wool revision bill to the White House.

WORK AMONG THE_FARMERS State's Educational Efforts Re stricted by Small Appropriation TWO DAYS IN EVERY COUNTY Four Counties Will Have Movable Schools of More Advanced Grade— Practical Instruction Given in Farming and Poultry Raising. (Special Harrisburg Correspondence.) Harrisburg.—Four hundred days of farmers' sessions have been arranged for 1912-13 by Deputy Secretary of Agriculture A. L. Martin, who is in charge of the State's educational work among the' farmers. This is 40 less than last season, owing to the small appropriation. For the same reason but three lecturers will be as j signed to each institute, but each will Ibe a specialist. The Institutes will j begin November 29 and continue un til March 16th, being allotted to coun ties on a basis of 1,000 farmers. Every county has at least two days of insti tute, including Philadelphia's rural I section, while Lancaster, which has j the highest number of farms, has the ! most institutes. Four counties will j have moveable schools for farmers, I which are conducted on a more ad j vanced grade than the institutes and | which last four days. They will be j for practical instruction in farming, | poultry raising, dairy work and other j topics. The counties selected are Erie, j Armstrong, Columbia and Lawrence. ! The first of the schools will open January 1 Eight counties made re quests for the schools. j Cow Libelers in Toils. Since the order went, out from the Pure Food Department to pay especial afteiyion to milk dealers who violate j the law in summertime the agents of ' the department have made more than 100 arrests throughout the State. De creasing milk nutrition by the addition of water is especially forbidden i by law, because it cheats the purchas ler in quantity, decreases the food ! value of the milk and is harmful to babies. Especially in the coalregions ! is this practiced, but recent reports i show that in agricultural counties also ! the milkmen have been using the farm | pump. In Allegheny, Crawford, Ve- I nango. Dauphin and other counties the | agents have been particularly active, i and many offenders were tripped up. In Venango county this week two Oil j City milk dealers were caught with the watered milk in their cans, and I prosecutions were ordered. In Mc -1 Kean county two dealers, one selling milk and the other cream, were caught disposing of dilutions far below tho legal amount of butter fat. Tenor Returns from West. Governor Tener and his fellow mem bers of the Pennsylvania Commission to the Panama-Pacific Exposition ar -1 rived home from San Francisco, whith ; e.r they had gone to select and dedi cate a site for the Pennsylvania Building. "Pennsylvania has obtained j what many consider the best of all the j State building sites for the exposi- J tion," said the Governor. The building will command a good view of the Gold j en Gate. The selection of this loca j tion is due to the intelligent foresight edness of the members of the Pennsyl vania Society, composed of citizens of San Francisco who were formerly resi j dents of the Keystone State." Mem ! bers of the commission say that the | one thing above all others which the ■ people of California want from Penn sylvania is the exhibition of the Lib erty Bell. Increase in Taxation. An increase of $7,360,093 in value oi personal property assessed for State i taxation, the highest of any county in | the State outside oi' Philadelphai and ; Allegheny in years, has been reported i to the Auditor General's department by Montgomery's County Commissioners. ! Ten counties of the t»7 have made their I returns and the gain on Montgomery ; alone is greater than the aggregate oi | gains in the nine others. The total | valuation in Montgomery county is | $52,921,085, the figures for 1911 being ! ¥45,560,992; for 1910, $39,937,615; for | .1909, $34,257,566, and for 1908, $31,727.- j 665. This is the most remarkable gain of any of the counties in the State ex- J cept the two larger ones The Cam ( bria county figures show $6,460,070, a i gain of $974,500 over 1911.

Moffitt, a chemist of this city, has examined the of Allen Green, late of Weissport, Carbon County, whose wife is charged with his murder. The analysis was made at the request of the Carbon County authorities. No poison was found in the viscera, but traces were discover ed in two bottles and a "Johnny cake" found in an outhouse at the Allen home. The lack of poison in the in testines of the dead man, the chemist says, does not indicate that none was administered to the man. OLD AND NEW WORLD BRIEFS FOR THE SUSY Hughey Jennings, manager of the Detroit Tigers, picks Washington for second place in the American League race. Charles J. Hemphill, last year with the Yankees, and this season manager of the Atlanta club, of the Southern League, has lost his job.
