C.—The adm inistra tion omnibus revenue bill, creating a ta riff commission, imposing a protec tive tariff on dyestuffs, repealing pres ent stam p taxes and providing for new taxes on incomes, inheritances and war m unitions profits, passed the house late Monday by a vote of 240 to 140. During the closing hours of debate several amendments, providing for elim ination of the bankers’ tax and m odifying the tariff commission sec tion, were adopted over the opposition of Democratic leaders. The amendments cut the salaries of m em bers of the ta riff commission from $10,000 to $7500 annually; struck out the provision under which no member or form er member of congress could serve on the commission, and provided a single appropriation of $300,000 to pay expenses of the commission the first year, instead of the b ill’s stipula tion of a continuing annual appropria tion of th a t amount. The en tire sec tion levying a tax of $1 for each $1000 of capital, surplus and undivided profits held by bankers was stricken out.
