4 THE 3I0RMXG OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1921 TUX BILL IN SENATE Endless Squabbling Prevents Prompt Action on Measure. BOTH PARTIES TO BLAME Senator Smoot Cited as Only Man in Upper House Who Deserves Credit for Sincerity. BY MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright, 1921, by th New York Evening i'oat. Inc., Published by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 2. (Spe elal.) Turning from the arriving del egations for the armament conference to the only other activity here that engages much publican attention, the republican leaders, both in the senatl and in the administration, fully ex pected that the tax bill In the senate would be passed last Saturday night. But one of them who was asked this morning whether the bill would be passed by next Saturday night, re plied with the beat of deep and dis trusted feeling that his questioner had better go and ask Jim Reed how coon he expects to stop talking. There is some hop that the termi nation of Senator Reed's vocal mara thon may correspond with the closing of the American Legion convention in Mr. Reed's home town. Kansas City, Mo. Senator Playing Polities. Mr. Reed will come up for re-election In Missouri next year and It would have been obvious politics for him to go home and talk bonus to the lefrlon men assembled in his home city. But quite as good or even bet ter than going a thousand miles to Kansas City to talk to the legion, he la talking at them In the senate. . If this hypothesis of a political motive on Mr. Reed's part Is correct let none of the republican leaders reproach klm. So far aa the tax bill Is concerned, many of the republican leaders have anything on Mr. Reed In the matter of playing politics. The course of the tax bill In the senate cannot be an occasion for pride on the part of either democrats or republicans. One of the few men who baa- had a con viction, which, whether It is sound or not and whether it is popular or not. is at least sincere, is Senator Smoot. Senator Smoot Consistent. TYr.m the beginning he has believed fn his sales tax, and has advocated 4t In a manner that entitles his views to respect. Few of the others did anything that went so far toward making a fundamental change In our tax system and few were willing to champion anything aa little popular as the sales tax was n the begin ning. As the house originally passed the bill, the highest tax that any part of any Income would, be required to pay was 40 per cent, being 8 per cent normal and 32 per cent surtax. The finance committee of the senat? adopted these figures, but after they Introduced the bill on the senate floor, some 22 republican senators hacked the committee against the wall and demanded that the highest rate be fixed at 58 per cent. In effect, these 22 republicans threatened to support practically any programme the democrats might bring along. The democrats on their part were not In particular good faith. Democrats Hamper Pi'uaiewa. The bulk of the democratic motive has been merely to embarrass the re publicans. The present expectation Is that the senate will fix the figure at E8 per cent, which the republican Insurgents demanded. Thereafter, in the conference between the house and the senate, a gory battle will be staged for public consumption. The expec tation is that the compromise figure will be something like 48 per cent. What may Imperil this programme, If It Is the programme. Is the possi bility that the house may now get out of hand and do what the 22 re publican Insurgents did. namely: In sist on going up to 58 per cent. It Is all about as unedifylng as anything imaginable. High Spots Are Gortesqae. To a person who has followed the debates on what ought to be a great tax measure, the high spots of recol lection are Mr. Penrose of Pennsyl vania and Mr. Garry of Rhode Island snarling at each other like schoolboys about which one had been most often an absentee from the meetings of the finance committee, and Mr. Hitchcock taunting half a dozen republican sena tors m-lth not knowing what their own amendments meant and the re publicans either frankly admitting it, or If they tried to bluff being driven Into laughable embarrassment. Of course, it would not be accurate to close such an unpleasant picture of senatorial conduct of the tax de bate without saying that many of the minor amendments made on the senate floor have been thoughtfully discussed and many useful changes made. On many minor matters that presented no temptation to talk to the galleries some thorough work was done. But the republican management of the tax bill aa a whole has been very bad; and the democrats do not provide any contrast. County Auditor Sam B. Martin and Assessor Hiram U. "Welch appeared before the tax commlMion last night and were questioned relative to their proposed expenditures during the coming year. Mr. Martin declared that flS.000 was annually required to pay the interest on the outstanding warrants of the county. "Would not the credit of the county with the local banks be benefited if these debts could be paid?", asked Senator Mulkey. chairman of the bortrd. Mr. Martin declared that it undoubtedly would. Mr. Welch was questioned relative to the amount of non-taxable prop erty that was In the county and re garding the amount that had been exempted by legislation passed at the lust session of the legislature. MARTENS FORFEITS BOND l.x-tuvoy of Soviet Penalized for Failure to Produce Records. NEW YORK. Nov. 1.

Thus ended a three-year legal battle car ried to the supreme court of the United States.

Most of the welcome was staged by the 100 sympathisers who came here for that express purpose. Local citi sens and officials did not join in the demonstration. , Mr. Townley offered little com ment and was lod up the courthouse steps and to the jail. Fatigued and haggard from the nerve strain of the North Dakota campaign and travel, he entered his cell after a 300-mile automobile drive from Fargo.
