Opposition Develops To Cloture in Senate Measure Introduced Not to be Debated Pending Considera- tion of 'the Tax Revision Bill. Washington, Sept. 29. — A resolution embodying the new. republican_plan to curb senate debate was introduced in the senate late today by Senator Town- send, republican, Michigan. He and oth- er republicans, however, said the cloure plan would not be pressed immediately and certainly not during consideration of the revislon bill. The new cloure proposals met with In- stant and bi-partisan opposition. Sena- tor Reed, democrat, inquired if it was proposed to adopt the drastic house rules and Senator Borgh. republican, asked Senator Towns=nd if he would be willing to add a prov.so requiring all senators to be present when the senate was in session. The Townsend resolNon, which was referred to the rules committee, provided for invocation of cloture by majority vote instead of the two thirds vote now required. “I believe the country and a majort are in favor ofdoing bus enator Townsend, in rep n. The rule, will simply “give us an op- to act on the business of the in portunit senate.” Senator Townsend pointed out that un- der the proposed rule, after cloture was adopted, probably after many days' de- bate on a bill, each senator wonld hav: one hour aliotted him or a possible total of ninety additlonal hours of debatz, SENATE PROPOSES TO VOTE ON TREATIES OCT.

Referring apparently to Eugene 8. Debbs, he said a man was serving a ten year sentence in the Atlanta pen! tentiary for repeating his (Mr. Wat- son’s) words. “Because he repeated a part of a speech I made” sald Senator ‘Watson, “that comscription was unconstitution- al, shouldn’t he be in the senate and I in the pen? He did not do a thing more than I have said here in the senate and I think I'm in better company than he is. That is my opinion.” SWEEPING AMENDMENTS TO TAX REVISION BILL cation because £ Washington, Sept. 29.—Senate consid- eration of the republican tax revision bill was featured today by the introduc- tion of sweepiag amendments from the | democratic side, a row between Chair- man Penrose, of the finance committee. and Senatér Simmons, ranking democrat on that committee, and a charge by Sen- ator La Follette, that features of the bill dealing with foreign traders and foreign trade corporations constluted a ‘“de- vice to enable individuals of great welath to escape taxation.” Behind the scenes there were some efforts to |bring aebout an agreement among opponents of the committee bill on the more outstanding tax features, but apparently there were no final con- clusions. Republican senators in the ag- ricultural “bloc” were confident, how- ever, that with the aid of the democrats they would be able to defeat the com- mittes plan to continue the taxes on freight, passenger and Pullman accom- modations for another year at half the present rates. . Repeal of these levies was one: of sev- eral proposals put forward by Senator Simmons on behalf of the minority mem- bers of the finance committee. The oth- ers included a maximum sur-tax rate of 52 per cemt, in place of the pro- posed 32 per cent.% retention of the cor- poration eapital stock tax, which the committée would repeal next year; repeal of the $2,000 exemption allowed cor- porations and of the speclal taxes on brokers' and proprietors of theatres and other places of amusement and on own- ers of'automoblles operated for hire. An- other amendment would provide that per- sons having net Incomes In excess of $20,000 would not ba eligible for the normal exemptions noy allowed by law to single men, marrled men and to the heads of families on account of depend- enta, Under the Simmons amendment to the sur-tax provision. the rates fixed by the committee up to 31 per cent. would stand but above that the levies would be 32 per cent, on iucomes from $66,000 to £74.000.
