Bitter Battle
As the fourth day of one of the
bitterest tax battles in history
opened on tho house floor, Rep.
Jenkins (R-Ohio) declared that
"00 per cent of the American
people" want tho Carlson-Ruml
bill, and that the "no abate
ment" meaauro submitted by a
majority of the ways and means
committee linn practically been
abandoned by many leading
democrats.
Rep. Knutson (R-Mlnn.) ways
and meana member, aald the ml
nority forco would resist "to the
end any attempt at a compro
mlse a trend which he aald woa
gathering force on the democrat
ic side.
Compromise Seen
Despite Knutson's stand, Ren.
Miller (R-Neb.). told the house
that he believes "we re heading
for a compromise.
Jenkins aald In this speech
that "those who ore talking conv
promise know that tho people
will Just not accept tho commit
tee bill," adding:
"Tho people want to pay as
they go and do not want to pay
two ycors In one. They Just can
not do it. The Carlaon bill Is the
only way out. There should be
no compromise with right. The
peoplo are supporting .this plan
regardless of party affiliation
and congress should not moko it
a party matter. There Is nothing
political about paying taxes."
