Washington, Sept 8- Secretary
Daniels has authorized about 60 en
listed men of the navy to take an ex

paymaster of the navy. Applications
for the examination, wnicn win db
held next, month, are being received
dally, and indications are that fully
100 candidates will be present tnem-

The examination is limited to mem

favoring these candidates. The ex
amining boards will meet on the At
lantic and Pacific fleets and at Ports
mouth, Newport, New York. Philadel

In addition to the 10 original va

.Senator Norris took the case ' of . .
Vincent Astor to illustrate the effect of
his amendment. The youncer Astor,
he Bald, did nothing to accumulate the
fortune of $80,000,000 he received
from his father.
The Case of Vincent Astor.
"Under this proposed amendment,"
said Senator Norris, "the tax Vincent
Astor would pay to the government
would be $43,799,500. He would then
have more than $36,0.00,000 tipped
Into his lap a fortune made by mil
lions of people of the United States,
a fortune for the accumulation oi
which he did not sweat a drop, a for
tune accumulated without an effort
of his hand or brain. Such a tax
would not be robbing Mr. Astor."
Senator Dillingham's amendment to
turn back each state's Income tax for
good roads with the provision that
each state appropriate a like amount,'

Senator Smoot moved to reduce the
duly on cut, but not set, diamonds,

20 per cent to 10 per cent. He said
that he would not object to the high
