rich TO Raise REVENUE
BY The nited Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l5.-Democratic
members of the ways and means COM
mittee today submitted to the House
through Leader Kitchn. their plea for
an extension of the present emergency
war tax measure for another year. They
pointed to "a customs revenue loss of
$50, ,OOO, 900. chargeaJlc to the war.
slump OF S25,0OO,O0O in tobacco and
liquor taxes decrease in value of I'M
portations OF S2l9,155.9l7 for the fiscal
year, and loss of S2G2 10000 in inn
ports from European countries now at
war.
Taxation of incomes alone, mostly
those of rich men. to secure national de
fense revenues, was the plan to which
the ways and means committee was
turning today. Vigorous sentiment
against the proposals 10 raise funds by
taxing bank checks, automobile horse
power, gasoline, ETC., is growing. Enough
Democrats are reported pledged to de-
feat the proposals.
Another large faction of Democrats
threatens to oppose any taxes for pre-
paredness, except increased income and
Inheritance taxes on large fortunes, un-
less government monopoly of mmi-
tions manufacture is also ordered.

NTzMlLLLER HAD 1
GREAT HAUTAUQUA
The Coal Mining Center of Garrett
Entertained Her Visitors Royalty.

Kltzmlller did itself proud last week
IN producing first class chautauqua.
Heretofore Mountain Lake Park had
the only chautauqua in Garrett county,
but this summer number of Kitzmiller
boosters assumed the financeering of a
chautauqua. 1t was a risk as well as a
great responsibility, but Boosters Lee,
Smith, Barrick, Scothern and associ-
ates were equal to the occasion.
The Chautauqua was for three days
only-days filed with pleasure, profit
and enjoyment, from beginning to end
ing, The town was dressed up in bunt-
ing and presented cheerful and patri-
oticIappearance. and the population took
few days off for a good neighborly
time and they enjoyed it, Harmony,
enthusiasm and proper booster spirit
prevailed throughout the three days.
A large tent was pitched on the edge
of the town, seated with chairs. Severa
booths we're scattered here and there;
all Of them did a good business and fur
nished food and amusement for the
public The hotels were crowded and
rooms required in the homes of public
spirited people to accommodate the visi-
tors.
For three days there was something
doing in that town.
The mornings were devoted to pa
rades and to meetings of value to the
local community; the afternoons and
evenings were filled with a splendid
chautauqua program, maglcians, sing
ers, orators, instrumental music of the
best kind were enjoyed. It was no
cheap affair, or make-shift chautauqus.
Tuesday was educational day. The
heavy rain prevented the parade, as
contemplated. The influence of the
morning will be tar reaching and of
great value to the educational work of
| that town and surrounding country.
Notwithstanding the rain, the dav was
full of enthusiasm and crowds heard the
speakers provided with much interest
and everybody felt that the Kitzmiller
Chautauqua was a success in every
particular.
Wednesday was the kind of day the
chautauqua needed to draw out the
crowds. 1t was Farmers Day at the
chautauqua. They were there with
their families. There was a parade, a
farmers parade. There was an ex-

hlbition and parade of fine horses, it
was an advertisement of the kind Of
/ horses the Garrett county farmers pro-
duce and use on their farms. The
splencid stockfarm of the Bray's is
nearby ard of course they were there
and their horses were seen in the pro-
cession, splendid specimens of horse
flesh, and of course Bray's horse won
the first prize. Friend Barrick also
won prize with his horse.
The morning meeting had experts
from the West Virginia University and
| College Park, Nd, who gave practicable
and profitable talks to the farmers on
farm work and farm possibilities. The
chautauqua program proper was A l,
especially at night
Thursday was Boosters Day. An
ideal day, big crowd of jolly, good
natured people call boosters. If there
were any kickers, they had the good
sense TO keep their tongues quiet end
fall in with the procession. The parade
was headed by Arthur Lawton's car,
which had as its passenger His Honor,
the Mayor of the town. So Oakland
and Kitzmiller led the procession. Then
came beautifully decorated automobiles,
not few. then the fraternal organi-
cations, carrying red, white and blue
umbrellas. Then the suffragists with
badges, vote for women" followed
, by other organizations.
/ The booster meeting certainly was a
booster occasion and did boost Garrett
county in great shape. It was running
over with enthusiasm. Not less than
800 persons were present in the tent.
The speakers were Messrs. L. A. Rudi-
sill, States Attorney Renninger, of
( Oakland, Prof Arnold, of Elk Garden,
and Hon. Gist Blair. The program of
the afternoon and evening crowded the
large tent to its fullest capacity and
found crowds of people all over the
grounds.
The chautauqua closed with flying
colors and magnificent success. The
expenses were all met at the close of
the second day. The audiences ranged
from 500 and up. There were games Of
baseball and other amusements.
There were no disturbances of any
kind in the town; everything was cheer
full, peaceful and enjoyable.
The Kitzmiller band furnished the
music and deserve much credit for their
music and town loyalty.
The candidates were there, as happy
as mortals could be. and as hopeful as
one well could be and all living in ex-
pectation of receiving the nomination
on September IA.
Kitzmiller has about 800 population
and adding Blaine about 1000. 1t has
natural gas, electricity, and a strong
/ bank, and many stores and good hotels,
churches, county high school and
number of very nice homes.
