MAJOR SECTIONS
OF TAX MEASURE
MOST BE CRAN6ED
This is the Task That Majority
Members of Committee
Now Face.
DETAILS OF COMPROMISE
YET TO BE WORKED OUT
Democratic Contentions , Are
Many, One of Which is Ex
emption of $2,000 Allowed
Corporations. Compromise
Reached by Republicans Car
ries No Comfort For Advo
cates Manufacturers Tax.
(By the Associated Tress.)
Washington,- Oct. 7. —Majority mem
bers of the senate finance committee
were faced today with the task of vir
tually rewriting the major sections of
the tax revision bill, reported more
than two weeks age.
To Work Out Details.
Some details of the compromise re
vision plan tentatively agreed upon by
Republican leaders, remained to be
worked out, but Senator Penrose, in
charge of the tax measure, predicted
that the “perfected” bill would be
passed next week. Other leaders were
less optimistic, however, believing
that the fight to come over the sales
tax, repeal of the excess profits tax,
and some other provisions would pre
vent final action within that time.
Democratic Contention.
The Democrats have alap contended
for a repeal of the $2,000 exemption
allowed corporations. This is under
stood to have been included in the Re
publican compromise program, but
some opposition has developed the
claim being made that this would
work a hardship on thei small corpora
tions. It was to meet this objection
that a proposal for a ten pc cent tax
on corporations have a nA incopae
The 10 per cent rate Is 2 1-2 per
cent, the minimum proposed by the
Democrats. Some finance committee
Republicans are opposed to a gradu
ated tax. arguing that it would not
yield the required revenue from this,
source. The Democrats do not agree
as to this and contend that a sliding
scale is the better plan.
Manufacturers’ Tax.
The compromise reached by Repub
lican leaders apparently carries little
comfort for advocates of the manufac
turers’ sales tax. who are understood
to have counted upon getting support
for their plan through the growing op
position to the pending bill. They
have, by no means, given up the fight,
however, and will continue to press
for this form of tax. as a substitute for
the various miscellaneous exercises.

YESTERDAY’S MEET
YOUNG MENS CLUB
Street Car Situation Was Dis
cussed and Interesting State
ment Was Made by George C.
Smith, Chairman of Street
Railway Committee.
The regular weekly luncheon of the
Young Men's Club was held at the
Royal hotel yesterday and while many
matters were discussed, the remarks
of George C. Smith, chairman of the
street railway committee, was- the
htost interesting feature of the. gath
ering. . < . * \ * *(* . *
Chairman Smith said the stock sold
for the interurban Railway company
was something in the .neighborhood of
s*s.ou. which leaves about slo.ogo yet
to be raised. Several suggestions
were made along the lines of securing
the required number of stock sub
scribers and the club accepted*!one
of these which insures, absolutely,
that the $35,000 wilt have been taken
by the datg the property Is onlered
sold. November 1.
But the public sboud not expect a
small number to buy all’the stock and
the SIOO shareholders are welcomed
just as much as those of larger
amounts. The committee has until
the first of the month to complete ita
work, but it it hoped that the full
amount will be taken by next Friday,
if not earlier.
The club, having been greatly pleas
ed with the service given it by Pro
prietor Gardner, of the Royal hotel,
voted to continue the luncheons there
throughout the winter. This is a dis
tinct compliment to Mr. Gardner and
his amcalteat hot si.
step-father. is but one of four
women implicated in the crime. In
addition to her mother there are two
other women, Mrs. Mary Brickel, Mar
ian’s maternal grandmother, the third
generation to be involved, and Emma
Colavito, through whom Mrs. Kaber
procured Salvadore Cala and Vltorio
to stab her husband to death.
Cala has been sentenced to life im
prisonment; Pesselli is still at large,
and Mrs. Brickel and the-Colavita wo
man are yet to be tried.
Was Loyalty Misdirected?
More interest is tftoanitested in the
terror
in the trial of Mrs. Kaber. her mother,
chronicled as the country’s arch-mur
deress. This interest is due to the
girl’s youth—she is twenty-one—and
public doubt as to whether she erred
in standing by her mother, knowing
that mother had the blood of her step
father on her hands.
That Marian knew of the plot to
kill her step-father, but ha she did not
participate in any way in the carrying
out o fthe plan, was the attitude of the
defense.
They oontend that her crime was
that of maintaining silence to protect
the woman who brought her into the
world.
