Preparedness IS
FIRST thought IN
President 'SMIbD
Wants Congress TO Consider
National Defense Before
Talking Revenue Measures
MUCH OPPOSITION TO
Increased TAXATION
BY BOND z. GEDDES
United Press staff Correspondent.


WASHINGTON. Nov. 30.-Prepared-
ness measures frst-revenues' after
ward. This was the administrators
legislative program outlined today.
President Wilson. it became known,
has advised Democratic leaders that
he desires revenue legislation held up
until national defense questions are
settled Two principal reasons were
declared to actuate this program
First, to center attention and fire on
the preparedness program without i'm
pefling it by revenue questions. Sec
ond, to ascertain exactly how much
more Federal revenue will be re-
quired.
Senate and House Democratic lead
ers have been advised Of the Presi-
dents wishes. They predicted today
that the program would be followed.
The present disposition of the con
gressional leaders is to take up only
one revenue bill before the naval and
military increase measures are con-
sidered, shat extending the present
war tax after December 81.
Other revenue bills, continuing the
sugar tariff. extending the income tax
and increasing internal" taxes bv
levies on gasoline, automobile and
imotorboat engines, etc, will await
the outcome of the national defense
program.
Party leaders in the House, where
revenue measures originate, are re-
luctant to launch bills increasing tax
alton. Members of the ways and
means committee said today they wish
first to know inst how much more
money will be needed.
The present program is to intro
duce Immediately upon the convening
or Congress, a resolution extending
the present war tax. without amend
ment or additions, and then il the pre-.
paredness program makes more taxes
necessary to bring in a general
emergency tax bill extending the
taxes to gasoline, oil. etc. Amendment
OF the income tax would also be by 9
special bill, which may OF may moi
include the retention Of sugar duties
Democratic House leaders are al.
ready working on an inheritance tai
measure. Representative Cordel
Hull of Tennessee, author of the in
come tax law has tentative draft o
an Inheritance tax act. Several othei
congressman propose TO introduce in
herftance tax bills.
Postponement. also. of revenue leg
islation until the fate Of the ship pur
chase bill is decided is being consider
ed. Whether it is twenty-five or fit
pillion dollars that IS to be appointei
for buying and building ships vii
make q definite difference in the char
acter OF revenue Legislation.

CAN'T FORCE WOMAN
TO SHOWHER Teeth
Effie White Baked at Open
ing Mouth in Court; Judge
Churchman Upheld Her
LATER OPENED IT TO
GIVE HER TESTIMONY

The question as TO whether a de-
fendant could be compelled to open
her mouth" came up in City Court to-
day when Efhe White. colored, of No.
Ala Orange street, was arraigned on
charge of acting improperly toward
Monte Bayley, of Syracuse, n. Y, and
the larceny of $12 from him.
Bayley said the only way he could
recognize the woman was by the fact
that she had two teeth missing.
AS soon as Bayley made this re-
mark Efhe. who had been vigorously
chewing gum, closed her lips with a
smack and kept them tightly closed.
"I think the test should be applied
to this woman" insisted Assistant
City Solicitor Lynn.
"The court cannot compel the wo-
man to open her mouth" said Philip
l.. Garrett, counsel for Effie.
"Under the constitution the woman
cannot be compelled TO give evidence
against herself" said Judge Church
man. He then said Efie could keep
her mouth closed If she so wished.
Bayley said he went to the house
No. 317 West Third street. on Friday
afternoon and was robbed Of Sl2
Officers Dutton and J. c. Riley tes-
tilted that Efie had two teeth missing
from her lower jaw Later Efiie went
on the stand and admitted she was
minus two teeth.
She was held in $500 bail for the
Court of General Sessions on the lar
ceny charge and fined $50 and costs
on the other charge. Bayley was
held in 500 bail as a witness.
