GOULD LINCOLN, Prospects for the final disposi- i tion at an early date of the tax revision bill, now the unfinished { business of the Senate, improved considerably with the taking of a | vote on the income surtax pro- visions of the bill late vesterday. The compromise plan, forced upon the republican leaders by the | members of the agricultural bloc, under which the highest bracket of the surtaxes was increased ! from 32 per cent, as in the bill originally; to 50 per cent, was adopted by an overwhelming vote, only thirteen senators voting against it—those from the east and north. From present appearances the compromise plan, as it has come to be known in connection withthe tax bill, will be adopted practical- 1y as agreed upon. There still re- main, however, struggles over the excess profits taxes, income taxes on lower incomes, the Smoot man- ufacturers! sales tax plan and the inheritance taxes. When the bill goes to conference the House may force a compromise on the sur- tax rates, however, which, in the end, will reduce the highest brac! et to 35 or 40 per gent. It is very doubtful now that it will be pos: sible to send the bill to the Pres dent before the close of the first week of, or_even the middle of, November. In an effort to expe- dite the passage of the bill, the Senate will meet tomorrow at 11 o'clock, and thereafter at 10 a.m. with night sessions, if necessary, to_hurry along the tax bill. The Harding peace treaties with Germany, Austria and Hungary were finally ratitied by the Senate last week. The proclamation of the exchange of ratifications by the ‘President will finally bring to an end the technical state of war which has existed for almost three years. The subcommittees on schools of the Senate and House District committees formally organized as a joint committee to carry on a comprehensive inguiry into the needs of the public schools here, for the purpose of developing a broad program for their better- ment. Senator Capper of Kansas was chosen chairman, and Repre- sentative Walters, vice chairman. The joint committee will have officials of the District govern- ment before it tomorrow morning. The nominations of the District rent commission were confirmed by the Senate late vesterday. Their original commissions ex- pired last night. Another District nomination, which may be given consideration by the District com- mittee this week, is that of Henry LincolnsJohnson 'to be recorder of deeds. Senator Jones of Wash- ington, chairman of the subcom- mittee handling the Johnson nomi- nation, is expected to return to Washington tomorrow. The District committee con- cluded hearings last week on two bills for the repression of vice in Washington. The committee probably will take no action on these measures, however, until after the opening of the regular session_in December. The Senate adopted a resolution offered by Senator Keyes of New Hampshire calling upon the At- torney General to inform the Sen- ate what further steps were nece: sary for the government to ac quire_the rest of the land between the Chpitol and the Union station to complete the park proposed by congressional legislation. Hearings before the Senate in- terstate commerce committee will be begun tomorrow on the Cap- per bill for the repeal of the guar- anty clause of the Esch-Cummins railroad act. —_— For Wedding Decorations Consult Gude—floral headquarters, + 1214 F.—Advertisement. —_— LEGION PLANS PARTY.

The House expects to pass to- morrow the Fordney bill provid- 1 ing for a commission to devise a 1 system of refunding foreign loans. A flood of amendments to this measure is expected, but the mem- bers of the ways and means com- mittee hope to get the bill passed in the same shape it was reported to the House. l Tuesday House Leader Mondell expects to have up the Rio de | Jeneiro exposition bill, a privileged Alaskan case from the committee on public lands and some other minor matters. Wednesday the committee on public lands has the call. The question of modifying the statute of limitations will be brought up by the judiclary com- mittee, Friday the claims committee will have charge of the legisla- tive program. Tomorrow is District day. ac- cording to the calendar, but House | Leader Mondell says that the House District committee did not have any matter of legislation which they were anxious to press at this_time. The House >Monday passed a Senate bill Teinstating midship- men who were dropped from the Naval Academy during the last academic year because of deficlen- cles in their studies. The rules committee Tuesday announced its decision to go no further in_investigation of the Ku Klux Klan. Representative Dyer of Missouri introduced a bill Monday for free rides on the street cars for all children undér six, when ac- companied by an adult, for half fare for all children under twelve and half fare for all school children under eighteen, when going to and from regular school . sessions. The House immigration commit- tee has for the last three days been conducting hearings on a bhi1 ! requiring all aliens desiring to become American citizens to regis- ter annually. The most important action of the House last week was the passage the Green bill. continuing in force until February 1, the emergency tariff bill, designed to protect -| agricultural products, The House was stirred during the week by the theft from the oftice of Representative Ben John- son of Kentucky of a box con- taining papers relating, to the Bergdoll invest{gation. ' Speaker Gillett ordered a thorough investi- gation. Courtland Smith, representing the postal saving system, asked the post office committee to recom- mend a more liberal interest rate on postal savings to encourage deposits. The House District committee ‘Wednesday appointed a subcom- mittee, headed by Representative Zihlman of Maryland, to co-oper- ate with the District Commis- sioners in building up the police and fire departments. Chairman Langley of the com- mittee on public buildings and grounds introduced a bill author- izing an appropriation of $16,- 000,000 for increasing hospitaliza- tion for former service men. Of this $500,000 is specifically appro= priited for Senls z.ment of _he Public Health Hospital on_ Wis- consin _avenu,e known as Mount Alto. It is probable also that an- other new hospital will be erected in Washington. By unanimous vote the House | Thursday _rejected the claim of John P. Bracken of Pittsburgh, contesting for the seat of the late Mahlon H. Garland. The House also voted that Represeniative Harry R. Hawes, democrat, of Missouri, is entitled to hold his seat, against the contest of Ber- nard P. Bogey. Secretary Mellon, acting upon " the recommendations of the super- vising archi‘ec of the Treas.ry, wrote to Speaker Gillett Thurs- day urging legislation authoris- ing the erection of a national archives building in Washington at an estimated cost of $1,500,000, exclusive of the site. -— Competitive tests of semi-automatic 'rlfles will be held at the government jarmory at Springfield, Mass., Novem- jber 28.

(Special Dispatch to Thé Star and New York World. Copyrighted 1921.) LONDON, October 22.—It was said in government quarters today that no of- ficial intimation has vet come from Washington that American troops will shortly be withdrawn from the Rhine. In view, however, of the possibility of such action by the United States gov- crnment, it is said the allied chiefs have alfeady discussed the matter of taking over the American zome and it is considered probable that it will be occupied by the French. The decision to withdraw the troops, as reported, does not come as a sur- prise, and its effects will be less poignantly felt than If there had been no warning of it; for it has been thought the Rhine forces would go home ever since the repudiation of the Versailles treaty by the Washing- ton Senate, followed by American gradual withdrawal from allied coun- cils, and particularly since the Ameri- can’ treaty with Germany. Yet the course will be greatly re- grelted, especially in vicw of the precarious condition of the German government and the growing strength in that coantry of the reactionaries, who are again making a strong bid for power, There is likely to be a meeting of the allied military chiefs before ‘the American zone is taken over. = Y.
