today to dispose of the free list, tne
complex administrative features, and
the income tax matter, all that re
mained of the new tariff law.
The debates which have been held
on various tariff matters, have been
the most good-natured in the recol
lection of the Democratic leaders,
and only a few minor changes are
expected, these changes being mere

The income tax alone will occupy
the House tomorrow, and this will
be followed by the reading of the
fcill for passage of the whole meas
ure. This formality Js counted upon
to tajee less than an hour.
A brief, relating to the income tax
provision of the Underwood bill,
was filed with the Senate Finance

country.
Many Democrats, free from the
binding rates in the caucus, opposed
the schedule, but these are mainly
representatives from the western
states.
Representative Payne offered as a
substitute for the new wool sched
