Clamor Throughout Country Forces Senate Democrats
to Reverse Their Decision in War Revenue Bill
Ten Per Cent. Munition Levy Approved.
Washington, Aug. 11. Yielding to a I trlrigu loaded and unloaded, caps or
flood of protests from the country and " liners, projectiles, shells or torpedoes
from Senate and House members of their
own party, Democrats of the .Senate
Finance Committee reconsidered to-day
their decision to lower the exemption In
tho Incomo tax law from $4,000 to
11,000 for married and single person
to $3,000 and $2,000. reictlvely, but
voted to matte the rate of tax on the
lowest taxable class of Income 2 per
cent. Instead of 1 per cent.
Had the committee declined to yield
on the amendment, the Democratic
Senate cnucus probably would have re
versed It. Tho amendment Increasing
the surtax on Incomes exceeding $2,000,
000 from 10 to 13 per cent. Is retained,
and there Is a probability that further
Increases In the surtaxes will be made
In caucus.
To-night the Domocratlc caucus con
tinued consideration of committee
amendments and had before It the pro
pos.il, agreed on by tho committer late
In the day, striking out the specific ex
cise taxes on munition manufacturers
and substituting a 10 percent, net profit

of munitions and wares that enter Into
