Washington, May 6.—Tho
changed adoption of the adminis
trative and income tax features of
the Democratic tariff bill, which
was all that remained, will be dis
posed of, it was confidently expected
by the Democratic leaders, when the
House convened today.
There is strenuous opposition by
insurance companies against ‘h»*
provisions of the income tax, on the
ground that their policy-holders
will be limited where greater prem
iums were Issued. As the House has
not entirely agreed upon the detail?
of the income tax, ‘hose interested
are counting on the Senate to make
some minor changes In the bill.
One of the changes which will be
urged in the Senate is to provide
that the tax shall be levied upon in
comes for the calendar year, af*er
1913, but to apply to this year onl
from the date of the ratification of
the constitutional amendment Feb
