CHINESE COPPER IS BEING
EXPORTED To JAPAN GALORE

PEKING, July 5.-Thirteen thous-
and tons of Chinese copper cash val
ued at 4,360,O0O Yen or about $780,
600 gold, was exported from Using.
tau to Japan during the past year. &
certain firm in Shantung still has in
stock many thousands tons of cop
per money, and it is estimated that
at least twenty Thousand tons in all
have been gathered in by Chinese
dealers in Shantung province since
copper has become high enough in
price to make it profitable to buy the
coins.
The Chinese government has a law
against the expectation Of the square
hole copper coins which Chinese car
ry on strings, but this has been disre-
garded by japanese dealers. The value
of the copper cash varies greatly in
different parts of China. One Chinese
copper cent is usually worth ten cor
ger cash. AS the silver dollar is worth
about 1876 copper cents, it could be
changed into more than 1900 copper
cash, an amount of copper far more
valuable at present rates than the
gold equivalent to a silver dollal,
which is about so cents.

legislation two years ago, can be solved
by the adoption of an adequate immgra-
tion policy which will remove the possl-
bility of future embarrassment, should

Will Tell President He Cannot
Hope to Include Gasoline,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-President Will
sons proposals for increasing the reve-
nues of the Government by direct taxa
tion are doomed to defeat in the House.
Following a canvass Democratic House
leaders determined to notify the Presi-
dent that he cannot secure the votes to
put through the excise taxes suggested
in his address to Congress. But one pro-
posal made by the President has met
with Democratic favor in the House. That
is the pla TO Increase the tax on incomes
The direct taxes suggested by the Presi-
dent included:
| per cent. tax on gasoline to yield
SO, 200.
tax of so cents per horsepower on
automobiles and internal combustion en-
ines to yield $i5, 100000,
stamp tax on bank checks TO yield

A tax of 25 cents ton on pig iron.
A tax Of so cents per ton on iron and
steel products,
Democratic leaders have determined
that II would be useless to attempt to
pus gasoline, automobile or bank check
taxes through the House. Opposition to
the iron and steel taxes, while vigorous
mi;ht be overcome. But conferences
among the Democrats have developed an
unwielding opposition 10 any exclse
taxes on articles of common use, and
the leaders will advise the President that

add to the difficulties already precipi-

CYCLONE DAVIS ROARS
HIS LUSTY DEFIANCE
TO PREPAREDNESS
Texas Populist, in Maiden
Speech in House, Spouts
Poetry Mingled With We
hement Prose
SEES VISION OF DICTATOR

| WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-With prose
i and poesy Representative Cyclone
| Davis. picturesque Texan, today made
his maiden speech in the House, a violent
| assault on preparedness and militarlsm.
| The veteran Populist war horse got big
| hand" He made unique appearance
\ with his bushy, wiry beard, black collar
less shirt and vehement gesticulations.
In his peroration was the following:
shall gun thunders never cease,
And dying millions moan
While we feed the dogs of war
On human flesh and bones7"
After vigorously denouncing all war
and preparation for 1t. Davis said:
ut Is said that when the war in Europe
shall have ended most of the worlds
free wealth will be In this country. Do
not be deceived; that little squad who
constitute less than millionth part OF
the countrys population, but control n
tenth of all its wealth, when the crucial
hour strikes, will again touch knees
round that famous table at Judge Gary's
and lay out the plans and specifications
for making sure that not much of that
wealth will reach the common man.
"It is a well-conceived plan OF the pro-
tected interests to join In the clamor for
preparedness.
"a commercial conscience is war mad
mad for great world power and the
ing conclaves and forming cabals to
force upon the country stupendous pro-
gram of military preparedness, hoping
to put in the White House a dictator to
execute it,"
Representative Hensley, of Missouri,
introduced drastic resolution demand
ing an investigation of the organizations
engaged in defense propaganda.
The resolution will be pressed by the
faction among House
Democrats, led by Representative Hens
ley, as part of the struggle to defeat the
Administration defense program.
The resolution would provide:
THAT the Speaker of the House appoint
n select committee of five members, and
that such committee be instructed to in
quire into the organization, membership,
expenditures, receipts and the sources
thereof OF the Navy League, labor's Ma
tional Peace Council, the National Secu-
rty League. the American Defense So
cety and any other such organizations |
as have been active in propaganda for |
and against the proposed increase in the |
army and navy OF the United States. and |
to ascertain what II any, commercial in |
tercst, as shareholders or otherwise, mem |
Ders of such organizations and societies |
have in the manufacture or sale of mu-
ltions of war"
The resolution would give the proposed |
committee wide inquisitorial powers. Rep
Hensley announced his inten-
ion of seeking an immediate hearing by !
he Rules Committee to which the reso-
ution was referred. and of pressing the
Measure before the House as soon as pos
ible.
