That an agtempt will be made to pro- vide the selret fund through a sepa- rate bill is to be taken for granted. but the wets, already organized in the House, are preparing to consolidate their forces in the Senate, and their leaders express confldence that very little prohibition legislation will be passed at the current session of Con- sress. They hold the *“‘under cover” activi- ties of the prohibition unit, one of Gen. Andrews' enforcement aims, to be particularly objectionable and in- compatible with the American theory of Federal Government. In attacking e §500,000 appropriation vesierday enator Bruce, Democrat, Maryland, described it as “tyrannical,” while Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, de- nounced the ‘“‘under cover'” men as “spies, sneaks and snoopers.” While the Senate wets were making ed that the “under cover” prohibl- | ¢ t es, in ruling the | their assault on the $500,000 provision, SMOOT DEALS TAX REDUCTION BLOW Favors Application of Surplus to Public Debt, He Says, in Senate. which_alr by House further removed this session of moot of the t dy has n, Repub- trowned on leaders, conslde been an from Senator Spicoth expre i ter Sel action to return ded the he De a n of Mississippi, told the Se 00,000,000 surplus was in sight for this fiscal year end volunteered not stand in the way of a Republican 0 r Smoot replied that he not only favored application of the sur- plus to retirement of the |1\|\)Ih debt, but doubted t! e posal of President Coolidge fund on next year's income tax only t would mean a_s: " he cents to the small taxpayer aid, “and would benefit only nrge corpo Harrison, insisting the people want tax reduc- lled upon Congress to carry out ‘the expressed wish of President Coolidge for an non-partican tax credit plan or “some tax rellef. Senator Swanson, Dem: at, Vir- ginla, charged that Republicans were using tax reduction for political cam- paigns and were saving a huge tax cut for the eve of the 1928 election. e e a movement got under way to form- ally organize them, for the first time since the dry law went into effect, to map out a campaign of procedure on other prohibition proposals. Senator Edge, Republican, New Jer- sey, issued invitations to 20 Senators for a_conference at an indefinite date, but the list was not made public. Senator Edwards, Democrat, New Jersey, another wet, remarked that “there is nothing in the $500,000 pro- vision to prevent it being given to the Anti-Saloon League or to Wayne B. Wheeler. Senator Smoot, Republican, Utah, told his colleagues that if prohibition is bad for the country, there is only one way to get rid of it, and that is to enforce it to the limit.
