DEMOCRATS TO SUPPORT! (By International News Service.) Washington, Oct 8. The taxation skies, which have been so overcast as to threaten the solidarity of the Republican majority, were apparent ly clearing rapidly Friday. The Republicans are once more harmony and from Senator Simmons, the ranking, Democrat! 2 member of the senate finance committee, today curae indications that the Democrats will not oppose the Republican compromise on the bill. The Democrats are not going to oppose seriously the bill, it was indicated, because several of the features of the new program were first proposed and sponsored by the Democrats. The Democratic members of the senate finance committee urged orlg lnaiy the fixing of an income surtax maxim lm at fifty per cent, which the Republicans have now accepted, Simmons stated, and the retention of the capital stock tax which the Republicans also decided upon in framing their substitute for the pending bill If the latter Is torn to pieces and rewritten, as the Republican leaders have agreed to do, it is not unlikely that ft will receive a substantial number of Democratic votes.

Republican members of the senate finance committee, with the aid of treasury experts, are to recast the pending bill so as to'make it conform with the compromise plai accepted by them. It is figured that in tearing the bill apart there will be a shifting of approximately 160,000,003 but that the total of 3.324,000.000 intended to be raised by the measure originally, will remain about the same. It is also proposed to adopt a graduated corporation income tax of ten per cent on $50,000 or less, and fifteen per cent on amounts in excess of 850,000. A division of opinlor. still prevails among Republican senators as to' whether the $2,000 exemption allowed for corporations ought to be eliminated because of Its effects on smaller corporations, but it is believed that it will be stricken out ASKS PROBE OF ALL SECRET ORGANIZATIONS (By International Newt Service.)
