Tills amendment and another adopted by a one-vote margin open ing corporation tax returns to inspec lion of state officials regardless of whether the slate Impose* an income tax as the law now requires, de veloped the major controversial issues of the day. Both amendments drew fire from the renuhlicans. Representative Mills. New Yprk. charging that "this piece meal destruction of the revenue hill is not. only leading to complete dis tortion of the measure, but to de struction of tho income tax law it self.” He charged the measure was being made an instrument of politics, adding that "instead of bringing re lief for the taxpayers it is going to harass them." Representative 'Wlngo. democrat. Arkansas, In reply, denied that amendments thus far adopted had done more than bring relief to a greater number of taxpayers, and de clared he would "rather he charged with political motives than personal Interest in framing a revenue bill." The republican stand served to de feat an amendment offered by Rep resentative Moore. democrat, Vir ginia, which would have opened per sonal as well as corporation returns to state officers. It was lost, 121 to 74. Gift Tax Favored. Additional charges in the measure were tentatively agreed upon at a meeting of some members of both parties of the ways and means com mittee. These would Increase the g^'-'late or Inheritance tax and impose a gift tax. Wliat rates will be pro posed was not determined, although the schedule advanced recently by Representative Ramseyer, republican, Iowa, to make the maximum rate on (lie estate tax 40 per rent, applying to the nruourit by which the net estate of a deed exceeds $1,000,000 was favored by a number of those who conferred. Representative i-iongworth, the re publican leader, who yesterday ad vanced a new compromise on the In come rate schedule* as a substitute for the democratic rates already voted into the bill, declared tonight he ex ported eight or nino of the 17 repub licans who supported the democratic plan to vote for the substitute if an opportunity Is afforded when the bill is up for a final vote. The republican compromise fixes the maximum sur tax rate at 37% per cent instead of the 44 per cent now in the bill, and decreases the normal rate on in comes below $4,000 to 2 per cent, the rate now in the bill, but would make It 6 per cent above that amount. It would allow- no increased exemp tions. Open to Special B*xlies. The amendment opening tax re turns specified that they should be inspected only by the house ways and means and senate finance committees and special congressional committees. It was adopted, IT»S to 100./ The amendment as originally proposed by Representative Moore, democrat, Vir ginia. would have made the returns ^available to all congressional commit ^S»es.

Previously the house rejected. 158 to 80. an amendment submitted by Representative Freor to make the tax returns open to Inspection by • nyone under the rules governing as to other public record*. Representative Garner and other democratic a* well as republican lead ere opposed this as not safeguarding sufficiently the tax records, although declaring it was preferable to no pro vision for publicity on returns what ever. Representative Hawes, demo crat. of Missouri, declared the amend ment would destroy the privacy of t lie home. f s German Thieves Rah Gen Shop of $20,000 With Clever Ruse l-/ Berlin.

"America, its institutions and its form of government, are not now and never will lie, endangered by enemies from without. Its menace is from those who for the purpose of elevating themselves into the lime light of questionable notoriety, or of serving the baser purposes of partisanship seek to destroy the faith of the American people in their public officials and institutions.

Feb. 22.—Chairman Adams of the republican national com mittee today publicly joined the issue with those of his party leadera in the senate who are demanding the imme diate resignation of Attorney Genera i Daugherty. "This is not the time.” he said, in a formal statement, "to yield to the threats of those who are conducting this campaign of political terrorism or to the demands of those who are frightened by such method*." The republican party organization, he declared, will insist that no ver dict of guilty shall he pronounced until indisputable evidence of guilt has been produced. The statement in full follow*: "The Integrity of a former cabinet official has been called into aeriou* question because *ie p-cept"-1 monev while in office from certain oil in terests. "The reputation of three former democratic cabinet members and other democrats prominent In the Wilson administration, has been aTected be cause they received money from th* same oil interests as hire for their political influence with th» - - ad ministration. "So much for the facts regarding the use of money disclosed • -t iat* in thl oil investigation. Campaign of Slander. "Taking advantage of this situation a few political blackguards and scan dalmongers have launched a general campaign of slander against mem bers of the cabinet and others high in official life "One of the victim* of this cam paign is Edwirt DenVy, secretary of the navy.
