OPPOSE POWER PLANT SITE.
Indianapolis Board of Trade Inter
ested in Washington Issue.

\ vigorous protest against the cree
ton of the proposed government cen
trail power plant on the site selected
ct the foot of 18th street northwest is
contained in a set of resolutions adopt
ed by the governing committee of the
indianapolis Board of Trade, which
Senator TasSart of Indiana had read
to the Senate yesterday.
The resolutions set forth the fact that.
the governing committee approves
highly of the plans for the develop
ment of Washington laid down by the
so-called park commission. that the
erection of the proposed power plant
on the present site would not only in
terfere with these plans. but would
greatly mar the beauty of the Capital
city.
Congress is urged by the resolutions
to enact laws for the development of
Washington in conformity with the
park commission plans. and the Presi-
dent and Congress are urged TO recon
slider their approval of the location OF
the central power plant

Delivery Zones.

The Post Office Department first eN-

The plan involves using two carriers
TO cover one route. one carrier VIII

1-eonardtown about noon and the other
carrier will leave Leonardtown the
same day at :: pm. and reach Washing
ton about pm. Thus each carrier
will make one-way trip each day.
Fast Incoming Service Daily.
The effect is to give a fast incoming
service daily for general rail and per-
ishsble parcel post over a good road
through rich truck growing country,
and to furnish improved facilities for
the receipt of general mail from
Washington by patrons of the route.
Parcel post in both directions will
take the local instead of the hrst-Zone

two pounds there will be no change, a
the local and the first-zone rates are
identical upon those weights. But the
three-pound parcel will be handled for
] cent less. the ive-pound parcel for
cents less, the seven pound parcel for

annual income for the government
is to be included in a single gigantic
bill and rushed through congress
under party whip and spur Confer
ences of democratic congressional
leaders have determined on a tenta-
tive plan for disposing of the gov
ernment's financial difficulties at one
fell swoop. A preliminary survey Of
proposed approx riations has con-
WINGED the leaders that it will be
necessary TO raise about 100000, 600
rather than the $4,000 600 addi-
tional asked for by the president
early in the session.
Last years total appropriations
were $1,114,9
After comforting with members
Of the ways and means committee"
said Chairman Claude Kitchin of the
committee. today, Il believe the best
way q 5isposing Of the revenue mat
ter is TO Include all of the proposed
matters dMttlliiB rev tllut VI TIC
tariff in a single measure"
The omnibus revenue bill will be
perfected in a democratic caucus and
Will go TO the house as a democratic
party measure.
The provisions which the leaders
now plan to embody in the revenue
bill include:
III ,,.o.+;o,, e % +-,.{ee y,,,,,, -, ;s. -
sion as suggested by the president.
Tariff legislation protecting the
new coal tar dye industry. and an
"anti-dumping" clause, now being
prepared by administration experts
An increase in the income tax
amounting to about double the pres
ent rates, without affecting the pres
ent minimum exemptions.
A tax on the profits of munition
manufacturers.
The repeal of practically all the
Objectionable stamp taxes now in
cluded in the war revenue law.
The plans OF the congressional
leaders for revenue legislation viii
be laid before Pres't Wilson by Ma
jority Leader Kitchin as soon as the
tangled foreign situation clears
enough TO allow the president TO turn
his attention to domestic affairs
NO final action can be taken on
a general revenue BILL said Rep.
Kitchin, until we definitely deter
mine what the total appropriations
for the year are likely TO be. They
are certain 10 be large and as soon
as the military and naval apprOpria-
tions are complete. we viii be able
TO go ahead"
The omnibus bill plan will enable
the democrats TO hold down discus
sion and prevent a long drawn out

taken into the house as a party

bate and amendment provided. and
