Julius Dert-hick and Miss Bell Derthick. Lake Geneva, Wis. New Years Day, Jan. 1 i i. i erson and SUNSHINE MARY ANDERSON in 66 BY LAWRIE KRUEGER, Two Minutes to Go By RAYMOND LONERGAN Senator Robert M.

LaFollette of Wisconsin, through his successful opposition to one provision of the revenue bill, as reported to the Senate by i the Penrose-Smoot combination, saved to the public treasury between and $300,000,000 a year. I question if any statesman in the history of parliamentary government lias equalled that record. Like most jokers this one seemed rather innocuous. Those who supported it had much to say about encouraging foreign trade. It was the patriotic thing to do, they insisted.

The prosperity of the nation, particularly of the farmers, depended on it. So they proposed the exemption from taxation of individuals and corporations 80 per cent of whose business was done abroad or whose income was derived from business done The thing was slipped into the bill when it was being framed in the House ways and means committee and it was indorsed by the Senate committee. La Follette succeeded in having it knocked out on a roll vote after days of fighting but the beneficiaries were not disheartened. They figured on putting it back in conference and they would have succeeded if it had not been for Senator Simmons of North Carolina, one of the minority conferees. Provision Struck Out How that provision got into the hill in the House I can not understand, said Simmons.

I believe it came frqm higher up' from some source profoundly interested in advancing the interests of consolidated coordinated, combined and predatory wealth. After a battle royal the Senate struck out the provision by a narrow margin. I feared an attempt would be made to restore it in conference so I began an investigation to determine exactly what it would mean to the government and tp those who would benefit from the" exemption. I got the facts and they were startling. I said to the Senate if that provision had been agreed to it would have been equivalent to a present out of the treasury of the United States fo that class of great, powerful people who control our foreign trade ho say nothing of the great international banks- of between and $300,000,000.

The treasury experts say it could not be less than the first, figure and might reach the higher total. When the matter came up in the conference all the Senate conferees, except Simmons, wanted restore the pTovision but he raised such a row they were compelled to quit. In conclusion Senator Simons saiji: The great fight that was made in behalf of that amendment was made by the Senator from Wisconsin, Mr. La Follette. I seconded him with all my power and he, and the members of the House and the Senate and the people of the United States are to be congratulated' that- this amendment was saved from the slaughter which had been prepared for it.

Over $31,000 Exempted One of the. most brazen efforts to relieve the big fellow of taxation while soaking the little fellow is revealed in the provision relating to taxes upon capital gain. As the bill was finally agreed to it provides that if a man sells a piece of property, a block of stock, or anything else of value and makes a profit thereon, he shall be taxed on the entire amount of his profits unless he has an income in excess of $31,000 a year. As the bill passed the Senate all taxpayers who made capital gains would be taxed alike, but when the conference committee got through juggling with the provision they produced the result stated above. Can Senators imagine a more stupendous infamy than such a proposition as that? was the comment of Senator A.
