SEVEN PER CENT IS MAXIMUM All Income of Half Million or More Yearly to Pay ThU Rate Ex pect to Pass tho Mcniarn . on Saturday. WASHINGTON, Sept 6.-Democrat of the senate began early today what ad ministration leader hoped wilt be tho last caucus over the stumbling blocks In the tariff bill. Every possible effort was being made to rush odds and end of the measures Into place for a vote on the bill In the senate by tomorrow night The senate waited until 2 p. m. while democrats were endeavoring to agree on an amendment to tho income tax and to satisfy difficulties In their ranks on minor points. Another caucus may be necessary to night to consider amendments by Senator Newland of Nevada, who returned from the west today. After several hours' debate on various amendments to Increase the tax on larger Incomes the caucus finally adopted the amendment proposed In the finance com mittee by Senator Smith of Georgia. That leaves the normal tax at 1 per cent a 13,000 minimum and provide an addi tional tax of 1 per cent' on Income over 110,000 to $50,000 ; 2 per cent additional on income between $50,000 and 175,000; i per cent on Incomes from 175,0000 to $100,000; 4 per cent on Incomt-s between $100,000 and $30,000; S per cent on 1S0.0CO to $500,000, and 6 per cent addi tional on incomes In excess of $600,000. It would make the maximum tax on In comes over $500,000 7 per cent. After disposing of the Income tax the caucus took up the proposed tax on cot ton future deals, which was originally proposed by Senator Clark of Arkansas, but which Senator Smith of South Caro lina insisted should be amended so as to attfect only illegitimate transactions. The caucus refused to reconsider its former approval of an amendment to lm poso a tax of one-tenth of 1 cent per pound on cotton futures, the tax to bo refunded In case where actual deliver ies were mode.
