COMMITTEE TAX
 PLANS FORMING

The joint legislative commit
 tee on revenue and taxation has
 adopted a tentative plan that
 will soon be submitted to both
 houses of the legislature. There
 will be no attempt made at
 this time to establish a tax
 system of a permanent nature,
 but simply to devise an eXped
 tent for meeting present neces-
 sites. In establishing a sys-. tenn of taxation the committee
 believes 1t will be necessary to
 have Congressional action in
 that nearly every branch of
 commercial activity is now tax
 ed by the general government. mostly without any regard to
 equity, or justice. For in- stance transfer concern with
 one rig pays the same tax as a like concern using a dozen;
 ten-room hotel contributes the same amount as a hundred room house. Stamp mills are taxed so much for each stamp, but other methods of extracting Gre values pay nothing.
 There will be an attempt to raise revenue only to meet the. expenses that will be incurred through the enforcement of such laws and acts that this present legislative body may pass. This it is thought can best be done by levying on the principal industries, fishing and mining. It is proposed that the lax shall be based on the ill- come or productive capacity.
 Nothing in the line of ordinary business is to be touched. Mines will be taxed according to their capacity of production in wealth, not according to the amount of capital invested Q" the number of stamps or other machines in operation; fisher ;es and the fishing industry will be treated in like manner. lIr addition to this there prob- ably will be a direct poll tax Of perhaps s2.00.
 It is said that the burden will be so light as not to be felt owing to the very modest sum to raised. In the meantime the committee will seek to have the legislature memorial ize Congress to amend the pres ent license tax system and have it established on a more equitable basis Empire.

 for a code revision commission This bill has been resurrected through parliamentary action al.d was up for consideration. Several times Shoup tried to
 save it from destruction but
 the temper of the House was set to kill it and they did it by
 vote of 9 to ,.
 Representative Shoup Wednes day as chairman of the House Judiciary committee asked to
 have the rules suspended for the purpose of allowing the committee to introduce a sub stitute for Senate Bill No. g, Millard's white slave act. The rules were suspended and the substitute was rushed through 10 final passage and the meas. ure will now go back to the Senate for concurrence.
 This bill was designed 10 make felonS of the parasites that live off the white slave traffic. It was declared to be Intellectual by the district at torney at a hearing on the Sen ate measure because it could lot be enforced. The substi.
 ute is constructed in plain Ian suaee and is very stringent. It
 has what is Known in police circles as the move onn feat lure-provision is made for ten day suspension of sentence.

ThE SALMON SITUATION
 FROM PACIFIC FISHERMAN

The past months exports ol canned salmon from San Fran cisco were rather light, being
 only a little over 54.000, com pared with over SS,000 eases
 for the previous month. Of this
 lhe greater part went to Eng land. The demand has been light for all descriptions, some of the cheaper varieties being entirely neglected.
 This season for several years rast has been marked by the receipt Of heavy advance orders or inquiries for new pack sal mon. but this feature is entire ly lacking at present. no ap- parent interest being taken ia anything but Soekeyes. OF
 which some handlers report a
 large business. In other lines the trade Is consistently follow ing the policy of buying only what Is needed for nearby re- quirements. and there seems
 10 be quite 8 general impression that prices on some varities will be lower on the new pack.
 While some dealers estimate
 that there are still about 20O.- 0O0 cases of Alaska Reds alone m first hands some local pack
 CTS assert that they are already
 sold out. and all show a feel ing of confidence that they will be able 10 clean up before the new pack comes in. It is felt that q season of fair consump- ton is still ahead. while the dis
 lributing trade has aceumulat- cd 10 surplus. and the spoi movement will accordingly be
 much heavier than usual dur ing the spring and summer | $ well known that the weak
 holders have hy this time sole
 nut. and what remains is fo'
 the most part in strong hands Alaska Reds are steadily held at the opening price, and
 Chums at 60 cents. while Pinks
 show a rather firm tendency
 tt e i-2 cents. The only real weakness iS in Cohoes in which there is- increasing prassure to sell. with very little demand. A for the future many deal CTS are convinced that, with ! the heavy pack Of Sockeyes in
 prospect. the market for high grade salmon will be fully sup
 piled. Reds tending to supplan. { plnks in some markets where ! tie latter have Of late gained a
 ioo.hold. This would make it
 necessary to dispose of the Pinks in the Southern and ex-
 DOT. markets which have all
 ways been the heaviest buyers
 of this grade.
 | On futures that has been I large business done on Sock
 eyes. but little or nothing on
 the other grades.

Esther: l was glad to read that
you are recommending my almoZoin
wrinkle-removing jelly recipe to your
friends. The shampoo recipe you ask
for consists only of l teaspoonful of
canthrox dissolved in a cup of hot
water. 1t fathers freely and will
thoroughly cleanse the scalp and
makes the head feel good. By sham
pooling the hair with canthrox every
2 or weeks it will remain soft and
fluffy. Canthrox also relieves itching
and irritation of the scalp. OF troubl-
ed with dandruff read answer to
Elsie.)
Worried: Waste no time on liquid
preparations. Use a delatone paste,
made by mixing together powdered
delatone and water. Apply to hairs
not wanted and in 2 or 3 minutes rub
off, wash the skin and the hairs are
entirely dissolved. This is a quick,
harmless method, but be sure you get
the delatone in an original package.
Birdie: l agree with you. A bright.
clear, youthful eye is always attrac-
tive and admired. Most girls neglect
to give the eyes proper care. Very
few use an eye-tonic, which / think
have found the following tonic to be
fine for weak, tired and inflamed eyes:
Go to your druggist and get one ounce
of crystos and dissolve it in a pint of
water. Use two or three drops in
each eye night and morning. 1t will
not smart. This inexpensive eye-tonic
will do you lots of good and relieve
you of that dull, tired feeling above
the eyes.
Beulah: You are not the only girl
with sallow complexion and oily
skin who cannot find face powder
that pleases her. But you need not
despair. There are other aids to
beauty more satisfactory than face
powder and the use of washes is be-
coming more popular everywhere.
Here is a recipe for a wash that when
on seems part of the skin that you can
make at home and it will cost much
less than any manufactured brand.
Dissolve 4 ounces of spurmax in a
half-pint of witch hazel or hot water
and add 2 teaspoonfuls of glycerine.
This will make a complexion-beauti-
fier that whitens and softens the skin
without the use of powder, and it also
tends to remove pimples, tan and
freckles.
Flo: Yes dear, smiling makes
crows feet as easily as worry, but
don't stop smiling on that account.
Scowling, age and eye-troubles also
make deep wrinkles. You can quickly
remove wrinkles and keep the face

sent Representatives to participate in
the deliberations and festivities.
Fred D. Barber, of Anderson, pre-.
sided at the business sessions, which
were scheduled to consume all TO to-
day and a part of Wednesday fore
noon. Welcoming addresses, appoint.
ment of committees and reading of
reports constituted the program for
today. The election of officers and
the selection of a place for the 1914
convention will take place tomorrow
The program of entertainment, with
out which no Elks' reunion would be
characteristic, includes card parties,
automobile rides and a special matinee
at the Dreyfus theater. There will be
informal dancing this evening, and to-
morrow night the grand ball will mark
teh wind-up of the reunion.
Prizes will be awarded for the best
exemplifcation of the ritualistic work,
this evening.
Wednesday afternoon the annual
convention parade will take place, in
which the delegations will appear in
uniforms of unique and gorgeous de-
signs, displaying the color schemes
and decorations of significance and
beauty. A much coveted prize will
be given the delegation appearing in
the most unique uniforms. Another
prize has been hung up for the lodge
having the largest delegation in at
tendance, and still another will be
awarded to the best band. Indianap-
oils Elks have acquired the habit of
carrying off several prizes each year,
but the competition on this occasion
threatens to shatter precedents.
A strong movement is on foot to
boost Past Grand Exalted Ruler Sam
uel V. Perrott, of indianapolis, for
Grand Trustee of the order at the an
nual reunion, which will be held at
