WASHINGTON, Aug. . Denunciation
of the democratic seriate caucus as & po
litical machine by Senator Hitchcock,
one ot the democrats who refined to be
bound by the caucus on all features of
the tariff bill, marked today's reopening
of the fight over the Income tax.
Why should senators bo expected td
be bound by- the hasty decisions of a
secret caucus on details of tho inuo:ne
tax?" demanded Hitchcock. "Why should
they bo expected to voto down ovcry
amendment, however good, simply be
cause It comes from the other sldd of
tho chamber? Why should tho Income
tax section not be amended hers on thu
ltoor ot tho senato If the bill convinces
senators that It should bo?"
Senator Hitchcock Introduced an
amendment, which the caucus had re
le'cted for a penalty tax on trusts. It waB
defeated forty-one to thirty.
The amendment provides for heavy
penaltytax on trusts or monopolies con
trolling" more than one-fourth of tne
country's productipn or trado In any
given line. Five per cent would bo added
to Incomes of corporations doing from
' one-fourth to. one-third of all buclnesi
In' any given line, 10 per cent for thosp
doing from one-third to ono-half and 2J
per cent for .those abovo one-half. It
would apply to no corporations capital
ized at .lets than IW.WO.ow or 4sjta a,
business of less than, $10,900,030 annually.

"With other-democratic senators I have
