By C. A. PAUL RaMgh, April 9. As the Senate ar gues over the revenue bill this week it becomes more and more apparent tirai several differences between the House and Senate ideas of phases of taxation will have to be ironed out before the. bill can pass both bodies. A conference is, of course, certain between the two houses. The Senate raced rapidly through the revenue measure until it reached the section which taxes peddlers, Prior to that only one amendment had been offered. It. was proposed by Sen ator Gibbs, of Warren, and would have eliminated from the inheritance tax section tlie present’ exemption of life insurance to the extent of $20,000 when left to direct, lineal descendants. The amendment was lost, 8-19. The peddlers' tax. as in former years, was 1)1? battleground for preliminary fight ing. Tire lower house had amended the section after the joint finance com mittee hal already made some chan ges in the existing act. This week the senate resumed the argument toy a gain changing the section. A joint conference will doubtless have to set tie the argument with a compromise. For the first time in the State’s his tory a tax on chain filling stations was written into the tax bill by the joint finance committee. Promptly the House doubled it. Just as promptly did the Senate finance Committee re ject tire doubling and went back to its original plan. The Senate is ex pected to concur in its committee's (Continued on Page Three* Ten Railroad Men Dead In Collision At Roseville, Cal.

MAY RESTORE HIGH CHAIN GASOLINE TAX Senate May Override Its Fi nance Committee To Sup port House Stand Wally Uhpatrh Barren, In the S|r Waiter Hotel, Raleigh, April 9.—The section of the revenue bill adopted by the House imposing a higher tax on chain gas oline tilling stations and removed by the Senate Finance Committee, may be put back into tlie bill in the Sen ate In spite of the efforts of the gas oline companies to keep it out. a good many observers here believed today. It is generally conceded that there hais been a good deal of “trading” going on in the Senate over both the dividends tax section and the chain filling station tax section. The prevail ing opinion is that the group opposed to the dividends tax section is in the majority and that it has gained some votes by agreeing to vote for the higher filling station tax section if some of those favoring the higher chain filling station tax would agree to vote to keep the dividends tax out of the revenue bill. The rjhain filling glAtion sections now in the revenue bill is that adopt ed by the joint finance committees before it was reported into tlie house and taxes the filling stations at a much lower rate than the Barker sub stitute section adopted by the house when proposed from the floor by Re presentative Oscar Barker, of Dur ham.
