Work Now Centered on Miscellaneous
Schedules With Pr'ospects
Of Speedy Report
Washington, March 25.-(By A. P.)
-The income tax rates proposed by
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
again are in the revenue bill.
Proceeding with unexpected speed
in its consideration of the bill last
night, the senate finance committee
launched into the income section and,
by a vote of 8 to 7, substituted the
Mellon rates for the Longsworth com-
promise adopted by the house.
Domocrats of the committee who
have been working on a substitute
for the Longworth rates were not
ready'to offer a counter-proposal andf
voted solidly against the Mellon rates.
Senator Jones, Democrat, New Mex-
ico, announced later, however, that1
they would put forward their proposed
substitute either in committee or on
the floor.
With a decision reached on this!
section, the main controversial sub-
ject of the bill, the committee was
given an opportunity to center its
works now on the miscellaneous taxI
schedule with, prospects of making!
s report to the senate within two!
'weeks.
The Mellon rates provide for a
maximum surtax of 25 per cent on
incomes in excess of $100,000 andinor-
mal rates of 3 per cent on incomes be-
low $4,000 and 6 per cent above that
amount.
The Longworth rates called for al
maximum surtax rate of 3 1-2 against
6 per cent in the present law and nor-
inal rates of 2 per cent on incomes1
under $4,000; 5 per cent on incomesI
bet*,een $4,000 and $8,000 and 6 per
cent above that.

COMMITTEE ON FINANCE'
P U Z ZL ED BY MISTAKES
Walsh and Green Assail Treasury,
Actuary for Juggling
Calculations
Washington, March 25.-(By AP)-
The dispute over the cost of the pro-
posed soldier bonus bill involving a
difference of more than $2,000,000,000
in estimates of veteran's bureau and
treasury actuaries drew. fire from all
sides today as the seitate finance com-
mittee temporarily laid aside the rev-
enue bill and attemted to solve the
estimates mystery.
Representative Green, Republican,
Iowa, chairman of the house ways and
means committee which frgied the
bill and Senator Walsh, Massadhusetts,
Democratic member 'of the finance
committee, issued statemne ts assailing
the estimates of Joseph, McCoy, treas-
ury actuary.
will arrive in Ann Arbor next Thurs-
day morning, April 3, it was announc-'
ed yesterday.
Dr. Bridges, accompanied by his'
wife, sailed from Liverpool last Sat-
urday on the Celtic and will probably
reach New York ;Sunday morning.
After a short rest in the metropolis,
they will proceed to Ann Arbor.
Dr. Bridges is painted by the liter-
ary people who write of him as a lyric
poet, one of the valid lyric singers of
his day. His poetry is based large-
ly on his nature love of England's
flowers and birds and waters. "He
seems to have entered into the spirit
of England's nature," writes one of
his friends. "He has a genuine love
of all that is especially English' in
meadow, wood and garden, English
birds and trees and flowers. No poet,3
perhaps not event Wordswvorth or Ten-
nyson or Cowper has done more to fill
English fields and lanes with poetry."
Wh'ile the modernist in verse has 1
appointment eleven years ago, one
of the critics wrote that "poetic valid-
ity is once again assured to a trad-
itional office of the arts." Another at
the same time remarked; "It is a!
simple truth that no English poet now
carries on the great traditions of Eng-
lish song as previously upheld by
Wordsworth and Tennyson with a
finer sense of a poet's mission in a
blatant age than does this man of
science and accomplished classical
scholar." Anoth'er commentator said:i
