With this and senate concurrence the only steps still required, the measure may be ready for President! Hoover's signature by Saturday. Neve: | before, in peace or war. was a bill of} such tremendous size and vital im- portance been agrecd to in so amaz- ingly brief a period. The representatives of the senate and house charged with adjusting dif- ferences on the measure, worked 131 hours straight until 10:30 Thursday night. Then. dog-tired but happy, they announced the task was done and tha: the revised bill would reach the rev- enue goal set by the administration approximately $1,115,000.000. It was established that ihe high in- come tax rates voted by the senate ‘were approved and that all four tar- iff items—import taxes on oil, coal copper, and lumber were retained. The revised bill carries the new high postal rates beginning with three-cent letter postage. Inheri- tance and gift tax rates were un-| changed. Among excise taxes retain- | ed in the bill were those on lubricat- | ing oils, toilet goods, furs, automo- biles, trucks and parts, jewelry,| yachts, motorboats, radios and phono- j graphs, mechanical refrigerators, sporting goods, matches, candy. chew- ing gum and soft drinks. and mans of the miscellaneous levies. There was every indication also the cent-a-gallon gasoline tax, voted bv the senate in the last rush to build up the bill's total yield, had been re- tained, and that the house’s one- fourth of one per cent tax on stock transfers was left out.

FACING ROOSEVELT IN WALKER OUSTER' New York Governor is Center of Speculation by Conven- tion Dopesters IS PERIL AND OPPORTUNITY Ruling Against Gotham Mayor Would Prejudice Tammany, Aid in West Washington, June 3.—(AP)—Two familiar headliners of many a past campaign—Tammany and prohibi- tion—come very near to monopoliz- ing political speculation as the two prepare to fight it out at Chicago. For the democrats, the big con- vention question is who will be the presidential nominee; and at the bot- tom of that, for the moment at least, roblem of what Governor Roosevelt will do to Tammany, and what Tammany will do to him, and es the convention will think about it all. Among the republicans, the only great uncertainty is over the plat- form; and nine-tenths of that un- certainty is clustered under the single heading of what to say about the dry laws. Definite developments on both of these subjects have been provided during the present week, while dele- gate-choosing w: t a standstill and other determining events were al- most entirely lacking. + From a political standpoint, not even the rumpus in Washington over taxes and economy attracted any- thing like the attention which cen- tered about the Seabury investiga- tion in New York.
