North Carolina, ranking minor- | ity member of the finance committee, Meanwhile the Senate took up the contest hanging over from an all-day debate yesterday on the Treasury proposal to restrict deductions on gross incomes in the new revenue bill in relation to the income of a tax- paver from tax-exempl securities, | after which Chairman Smoot of the | firunce committee was ready to press some of the few remaining commit- | | tee umendments. Agreement of the democrats—with | the possible exception of four—to the | Simmons schedule gave impetus to | | the efforts of Republican oreanization | | leaders to work out a compromise on the income rates which would win a majority f the Renpublican inmr. gents, most of whom have declared | ainst any reduction in the surtaxes and in favor of a 50 per cent cut in | the normal rates. Simmeounsx Pl | The Simmons plan calls for a re- duction in the present maximum sur- ‘ tax rate of 50 per cent to 40 per cent, 4s against a maximum of 25 per cent suggested by Secretary Mellon and approved by finance committee Re- publicans. Tt also would make a cut income in the normal income rates from 4 [ per cent on incomes below $¢ fon «nd % per cent above to 2 per cent on incomes helow $4.000, 4 per cent on incomes between $4.000 and $8,000 | and § per cent above $8,000. Another conference of the Damo- crats has been called for tonight to consider the advisability of a party stand for an amendment by Senator Jones, Democrat, New Mexico, propos ing a graduated tax on corporations instead of the present flat tax of 1215 | per cent which the Senate has agreed to increase to 14 per cent with elim- ination of the capital stock tax.

D. C. FICSAL SYSTEM | CHANGE IS OPPOSED. IN D. C. BILL DEBATE (Continued from First Page.) citizens' associations and other civic clubs. When Representative Blanton sought to chide Representative Tink- ham, remarking that if he had stayed on the floor of the House he would have heard the present plan frequent- Iy discussed, Representative Tinkham responded that for four years he had been 2 member of the legislative com- mittee in charge of District measures and for six vears has been on the subcommittee” on District appropria- tions, =0 that he knew something about District affairs and the needs of the District and the equities of the situation as between Congress and the federal territory. He emphasized that Congress must not forget that the District of Columbia is a federal territory. Representative McKenzie, Republi- can, of Illinois, acting chairman of the military affairs committee, after referring to the fact that Represen- tative Tinkham's ancestors came over in the Mayflower and fought at Con- cord, Lexington and Bunker Hill, asked if he was not really actuated by the principle of taxation without répresentation. Moere Oppeses Change. Representative Moore, against the Cramton amendment, pointed out that the policy decided upon by the appropriations committ- tee is expressed in the bill before the in arguing House. After taking 600 pages of testimony the commijttee made no recommendation with respect to changing fiscal relations, Representa- tive Moore emphasized. “So we are being asked to do something without the ordinary consideration being given to it,” hk warned his colleagues. Representative Moore admanished the House that it ought not to act now on this proposition. Whether it is better to stick to the proportionate system of contributions for the ex- penses of the National Capital or to &0 to a lump sum appropriation, the decision should not be made at this time, be argued. | Reads Rudoiph Lett Saying that he had anticipated the amendment would be offered and that his point of order would not be sus- tained, he had addressed a letter to the president of the board of Dis- trict Commissioners and read to the House the reply of Cuno H. Rudolph. This was, in effect, that the Commis- sioners strongly feel there should be no change in the fiscal relations without a thorough investigation to determine the real equities in the case, Representative Cramton inter- posed that Mr. Rudolph had repeated- 1y expre: himself as favoring a lump sum appropriation. Represent- ative Moore said that if Mr. Rudolph favors a lump sum appropriation and now advocated that such a change should not pe made, surely his argu- ment in favor of postponement of ac- tion until an investigation had been made should have more weight. Fol- lowing the thought expressed by the president_of the board of Commis- sioners, Representative Moore sald he had introduced a resolution pro- viding for such a thorough investi- gation of the fiscal relations and this resolution was ordered inserted in the Conyressional Record by unani- mous consent. Mr. Moore's Propessi. While the House was considering the amendment, Represéntative Moore introduced a joint resolution to cre- ate a joint committee to inquire into and report on fiscal matters between the United States and the District of Columbia. The Moors resolution provides that the joint committee should be com- posed of three senators to be ap- pointed by the President of the Sen- ate and three representatives to be appointed by the Speaker of the House. This joint committee would be authorized and directed to inquire into the present fiscal relations be- tween the United States and the Dis- trict of Columbia with & view of a. certaining and reporting to Congress whether the present percentage pro- portion basis of appropriating for the expenses of the government. of the District should continue. Might Report New Plan. It it was so decided; the committee would report what percentage of ap- propriations should be paid by the United States and the District, re- spectively, or whether the United States should contribute a fixed or lump sum. amount annually as its share of appropriations for the Dis- trict in lieu of thé existing or any other percentage proportion basis, and if-so what would be a fair and suitable amount to be contributed. Under the Moore resolution the joint committee would be further au- thorized and directed to inquire into the relations of the government of the District with departments and branches of the government of the United States, with a view to ascer- taining and reporting whether there should be vested in municipal officers C. H. AGNEW LEADS GOLF TOURNAMENT Has Low Card of 82 for Today's Qualifying at Wash- ington. HIGH WIND, HIGH SCORES Albert MacKenzle’s 81 in Rain Yesterday Still Good. Playing into a strong west wind that made the course much faster than it was during the rain yester- day, Charles H. Agnew, jr., of Potomuc Park, former municipal links champion, led a field of fifty golfers, who started play this morn- ing on the second day of the qualify- ing round of the Washington Golf and Country Club’s tournamenc. Agnew had a score of 82, one stroke higher than that turned in yesterday by Albert R. MacKenzie of the Co lumbia Country Club, the middle At- lantic champion. Agnew was out in 45 and back in 27, practically paral- leling MacKenzie's score of yesterday. With the exception of the 32 made by Agnew, the scores turned in this morning were on the high side.

They are both expected to better the score of 31 made elder MacKenzic. Rain Ruins Scores. Playing in a downpour of rain that slackened shortly after noon and then decided to reappear for the mati nee performance, more than one hun- dred contestants in the first day of the qualifying round of the Washing- ton Golf and Country Club tourna- ment came up to the eighteenth green yesterday and reported dire tales of disaster and wreckage that ruined scores and dispositions. Out of the whirl of water and mud, Albert R. MacKenzie, the middle Atlantic cham- playing as a_champion should emerged in front on the first v's play with a card of 81, leading Tom Moore of Indian Spring, Page Hufty of East Potomac Park and Miller B. Stevinson of Columbia by one shot. MacKenzie was out in 45 with visions of the second flight ahead of him. But he turned around and shot the last nine in 36 for his 81, while Donald Woodward. his partner and winner of the tournament two years ago, who was out in one shot less than MacKenzie, came back in 44 for an_s8. Young Hufty had a five on the last hole for an 80, but he topped his tee shot, and then topped his second and third,” while Moore had two costly holes. Stevinson was out in 39, a fine out round, but met disaster on | the short eleventh hole, a par three affair. where he took six Many withdrawals featured the first day vestarday, a number of the con- testants not turning in their cards or not caring to brave the rain.

High infant and maternal mortality rates in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States were deplored by Miss Grace Abbott of the Department of Labor's child welfare bureau in an address at the “Chil- dren’s day’ meeting at Keith's The- ater today in connection with Health week. “There is stifl a great deal to be done in reducing the infant mortality in the District. It is twice as safe to be a_baby in New Zealand as it is in the District of Columbia,” she as- serted Washington shows an infaut mortality rate of 83 per 1,000, as com- pared with New Zealand's 42 per 1,000 and London's 60 per 1,000. TUrges Knowledge of Facts. “We should be as familiar with the infant mortality score as some persons are with the base ball scores,” said Miss Abbott. She pointed out that in some rural communities the percentage of children afflicted with ricketts ran up to 75 or 80, while in places where constant supervision was given to the children by welfare societies the figure dropped to slight- 1y over 7 per cent.

The forty delegates then began sub- mitting their reports. Miss Agnes Macphail reported for Canada that militarism is being taught in the | school there. Mme. Lucie Dejardin of | Belgium was given an ovation. Mme. | Dejardin was lined up before a Ger- man firing squad with six other women during the German invasion. The other six were executed, but she was permitted to leave after seeing her friends fall beside her. so that she might relate her awful object lesson to others. Tons of anti-war propaganda are loaded upon visitors and delegates as they pass into ghe assembly room. One pamphlet urges all reading it to sign a pledge against participating in a war either offensive or defensive and to work for the establishment of a new social order. Accredited to the No-More-War Movement, a British orgunization, the pledge reads as fol- lows: “Belleving that all war is wrong, and that the arming of the nations, ‘whether by sea, land or air, is treason 1o the spiritual unity and intelligence of maukind, I declare it to be my intention never to take part in war, offensive or defensive, international or civil, whether by bearing arms, making or handling munitions, volun- tarily subscribing to war loans or using my labor for the purpose of setting others free for war service.

Reports continued to show that all parts of the republic were quict with Clara City. It was explained by gov- ernment officials that the flight of a dozen men from Cienfuegos yester- duy was believed to be merely an! attempt to escape arrest. Dr. Federico Laredo Bru, lawyer and sec- retary of the Interior under the| Gowmez administration, was one of those who newspaper dispatches said fled from Cienfuegos in a launch. Ten arrests have been made. President Zayas late yesterday is- sued a manifesto declaring the move- ment practically ended, offering am- nesty to those civilians who fled with the revolting soldiers provided they would return at once. The coming of the United States cruiser Cleveland, due today from Key West, was declared by the Amer- ican embassy to have no significance, as it was stated that the Cuban gov- ernment was advised some time ago that the vessel would put in to give the men shore leave. OFFICIALS NOT WORRIED. Officials high in the Washington government, basing their opinions primarily on intelligence reports from Ambassadcr Crowder, believe the Zayas government in Cuba soon will crush the revoit that has been launched against it.
