agencies who called on Prosecutor
Shepherd Saturday morning, TO COM
plain against the agents with whom
they had been dealing, none told a
more pitiful and astounding story
than Mrs. Edith Lee, mother of five
children. living at No. p1O5 Mercer
ST., Windsor She was accompanied
by her eldest daughter, 10 years old.
Eight years ago, | borrowed
500 from the Reliance Loan Co. OF
Detroit said Mrs. Lee, and since
then / have been trying to pay the
debt. 1t is still unpaid, although !
have paid out over $1,000 in trying
to wipe IL out. ! was to pay $40 a
month, but at times / had to pay as
much as Sill. In December, 1910,
the Reliance company, pressing me
for balance, advised me to borrow
$50 from the American company
across the hall from the Reliance.
did this and in this way got the 500
debt paid up. But now / am in debt
with the American company. i have
paid one payment of $40, which
was to be the monthly installment
on the American loan"
Have the companies threatened
you in any way?" the prosecutor
asked Mrs. Lee.
Yes she said, they come over
to my house and threatened TO take
my furniture and otherwise made II
unpleasant for me-"
We'll, now, Mrs. Lee" said the
prosecutor, sympathetically. you go
home and don't let this thing worry
you. I'll take care of ii for you; you
have paid too much already. One
thousand dollars for loan of 500,
Why, | never heard OF such thing"
Mrs. Lee told Mr.. Shepherd she
would gladly>swear to a warrant
against the two companies.
Upwards of dozen people called
OH the prosecutor in addition to Mrs.
Lee. Each had much the same story
TO tell. They were all willing TO pros
ecute, and the prosecutor told them to
stop paying the Illegal rate of inter
est, 10 tender the agencies the legal
amount due and to have nothing more
TO do with them. He kept their books
and simply told them to reply to the
agents, IL the latter wanted to know
where they were, that the prosecutor
had them.

WOULD PLACE TAX ON
ALL INCOMES OVER $1,000
Democratic Caucus Also Favors
Putting Sugar on the
Free List

WASHINGTON, March "A bill to
put sugar on the free list, eliminating
$4,000, 900 in annual customs revenue.
and another TO extend the present
corporation tax TO include individuals
and co-partnerships doing business OF
$4,000 a year or over. were ratified
last night by the Democratic caucus
of the house.
The excise tax, so-called by the
ways and means committee, is I'm eff
feet an income tax The bill is 30
drawn That IL is expected to comply
with the supreme courts decision
against the constitutionality of an in
come tax. It's effect would be 10 tax
every person who earns more than
$4,000 year on the excess OF $4,000
at the rate of one per cent.
The estimate OF Chairman Under
wood and members of the ways and
means committee is that the proposed
excise tax would bring in a revenue
of between $50000,O00 and 100000. 900
a year.
Placing sugar on the free list, the
Democratic leaders estimate will re-
duce the price OF sugar to the con-
sumer about cent and half a
pound.
The secret that members OF the
Ways and means committee had been
so closely guarding for several days
was the provision to extend the cor
poration tax.
In the caucus that bill was not seri
ously opposed.
The free sugar bill, however, was
bitterly assailed by representatives
from Louisiana, the cane sugar state
and representatives from sugar bee
growing states, who were absoiyet
from the bond OF the caucus. NJ
roll call on the ratification of the bills
was demanded.
Majority Leader Underwood an
nounced that the bills would be re
ported to the house in few days.

real estate business and the timber

for dollar. Not only that, but he made
another fortune for himself. Not
only that. but he played the game OF
philanthrophy and won the admiration
and affection OF the people.

some thirty thousands of peo-

 COL. PATTERSON

Washington January 2o ~ Speaker Champ Clark. candidate for the democra- tic. presidential nomination. and Henry Watterson Of Louisville. discussed lbe political situation here today. Whether they discussed presidential Nprospects neither would say.
 "I do not think we talked about any thing that would interest the general pub lie Just now" said Speaker Clark.
 "G learned nearly all i knew about poll tics in the early days from reading Wat tersons editorials. When 1 was a boy in Kentucky my father sent me 10 farmer GO miles from Louisville. who could not read
 "One of my jobs was to read to the far mer at night 1 used to read him Waiter sons editorials and there got my first political ideas Years afterwards, when A young man. 1 introduced Watterson to an audience in my home town, and we have been friends ever since. l always go to see him when he comes to Washington.
