Hold Caucus.
By Associated Press.
Washington, April 18. With demo
cratic members, of the house In the
role (jf students today, Representa
tive Cordell Hull of Tennessee con-
erted the tariff caucus into a class in
income taxation, after the caucus had
disposed of amendments to a few
items on the free list passed over from
yesterday. .
Several members sought to have a
small duty levied on raw rubber, raw
Bilk and Tungsten ore.
Representative Hull wrote the in
come tax section of the democratic
bill In which widespread interest lias
bten aroused, members of congress
particularly evincing a desire for in
formation as to the effect of the pro
posed tax before trying to criticise its
provisions. The Tennessee memb-sr,
who has made a study of the Income
tax problem for many years, elucidat
ed his plan in a lengthy address to
his ..colleagues and on nearly evry
provision he was asked a dozen ques
tions.
How the ways and means commit
tee had arrived at 4000 as ths ex
emptlon figure for the income tax was
the first subject of inquiry some mem
bers asking If $5000 would not be
better and others demonstrating on
idea that the exemption should be
lower." '.':,! ' "' ' "": . s v
A lower exemption, Mr. Hull px
plained, would necessitate a bill with
manv soecial exemptions, mat it
would be difficult of enforcement and
also would entail so much administra
tive work as to make It unprofitable.
By fixing the exemption at 14000
soecial exemptions are not necessary
and it was stated the operation or tne
act and collection of the tax were
comparatively simple.
Considerable opposition to some or
the efatures of the act are developing,
although the leaders declare many
members are unHer misapprehensions
as to the exact working of the act
To clear uo misunderstandings was
T .i.
the desire of tne committee ai 'ii
outside and this task was undertaken
bv Mr. Hull.
Before the caucuB met the ways and
miii) committee consiuereu nvmn
iimendments, none of which la vital
but which would change rates on
minor commodities. They were to be
iffered to the caucus.
The cdmmittee also framed an
amendment to the Income tax section
hanging the phraseology regarding
Insurance policies in computing net in
come, but It was regarded as confus
ing.
We will chunge the language,' said
Chairman Underwood, "to make clear
that Insurance policies' are exempt
The change does not alter the original
ntentlon of the committee."
Tlie constitutionality of the income
tax. It became apparent today, was to
lie the principal subject of debate
when Its discussion began In earnest
Several members were planning to at
tack it on the ground that it was un
constitutional. The committee Is ready
to contend that there Is no ground for
apprehension on that claim. .
While the democrats were tit session
the house republicans went Into can
us to settle whether they should offer
i tariff program of their own or fol
low the plan of Representative Moore
and Kovdney, to merely "point out the
peril In the democratic hill."
Republican members (if the ways
and means committee had voted to
to direct the republican caucus to
prepare amendments to the democratic
bill.
The first vote of the day In the
democratic, caucus before the Income
tax was taken up waa on a motion o
Representative Phelan of Massachu
setts to take boots and shoes from the
free list and make them dutiable
10 per cent ad valorem. This defeat
ed, he offered an amendment for live
per rent duty, which also waa lost by
an overwhelming vote.
The caucus rejected an amendment
proposed by Representative Hurdwlr
if Georgia to take crude rubber off the
free list and to tax It at 10 it cent
Representative Borland of Missouri
tried unsuccessfully to put manufac
lured rubber on the free Hat.

New Orleans, April IS. The weath
er bureau's prediction of three weeks
ago that the present Mlsslrsippl river
flood would exceed the record stages
from Memphis south is being verified.
The gauge at Helena, Ark., this morn
ing registered 54.4 feet, or one-tenth
above the previous high record, made
on April 21 last year. At Arkansas
City an additional rise of two-tenths of
a foot for the 24 hours ending at 1 a.
m. brought the stage within half a foot
of last year' record. At Vlckshurg a
rise of four-tenths was recorded, giv
ing a stage within half a foot of the
previous record.
From Natchea south the river con
tinues to rise at the rate of approxi
mately half a foot a day. A further
rise of slightly over a foot will put the
Xatchcs stage, over lost year's record.
Baton Rouge Is 6.1 feet below the
record; Donaldivtlle Is live feet below
und New Orleans Is 3.2 feet below the
high mark set May 11 lost year.
Reports received today by the en
