Washington, Dec. 11.—The debate on tne
war revenue reduction bill opened In the
House to-day, was confined to speeches
by Air Payne of New York, chairman
of tlm Ways and Means Committee, on
behalf of the majority and Air. Swanson,
of Virginia on behalf of the m nortty.
Tha Housa went Into Commotes of the
Whole and took up the consideration of
the bill for the reduction of the war taxes
right after consideration of the Boor case.
Payne of New York, chairman of the
Committee on Way* and Mean*, who had
charge of the bill opened the debati.
Mr. Payne said that in reducing Ine
revenue great care should be taken lest
III* reduction cause a deficiency. The
committee felt as though they had gone
IO the furthest limit. The sixty-five mil
lion iMlara remaining after the reduction
proposed by the committee took effect,
would not eqa.il the extraordinary ex
pense* sure to follow as a result of the
Spanish war. Including interest on the
bonda issued to prosecute the war amount

which U>ih sales admit should amount io

thereof an Income tax Thi w*iM

hundred and live n.H jon dollars. The en
actmervt of anew Income law would not
furnish a dollar of skhnonal revenue.
W hot r*oeon la there to KUpposte that a
new enactment of 4hrf Rind would meet
with any hut Its predecessor** fate. To
abolish the entire nddtf oral taxatpon beer
would result In an additional reduction
of iwenty-three millions of dollars. It
would produce the grossest Injustice.
